Universal's Epic Universe - News and Discussion

[Disneyhanna]

I’ll write a full review when I get home but I did a non-private group VIP tour today (10/24) and had a nice experience! I have no idea how the crowds compared to usual but the tour definitely saved us time and when I used my express pass after I really missed the front of line access! Our 9:30 tour started at 9:20 because everyone was there. It was about $470 since I booked pretty early.

We finished in just over 3 hours. Donkey Kong was unfortunately down until around 3PM. We did 7 rides by 12:35 and were given the option of either Fyre Drill or the other side of Stardust to replace DK. Only 4 of the 12 of us stayed to do Stardust again but it went down when we were in line so we parted ways at 1:00.

This was our order and the listed standby waits:

• Mario Kart: Bowser’s Challenge 60
• Curse of the Werewolf 5
• Monsters Unchained 10
• Harry Potter and the Battle at the Ministry 150
• Stardust Racers 35
• Dragon Racer’s Rally 70
• Hiccup’s Wing Gliders 80
• Total: 410 minutes almost 7 hours

I’ll write more later but overall I thought it was worth it if you have one day and don’t like waiting in long lines. I think you could do okay by doing early morning and evening even without express, but it was great being led around and obviously skipping to the front of the line. Olivia was an awesome tour guide and I had a great group of all adults.

In my ride back to Disney for wine & dine 10k and not excited for my alarm in less than 6 hours
