Ok so... Any recs to get dinner sat? That's not a sit down.

I wouldn't mind toadstool Cafe but it was a zoo in there during previews. Heard good things about the pizza moon place but know lines will be nuts there too

We have a dedicated thread called "Epic Universe food pics" with lots of good pictures and reviews. No suggestions from me. I couldn't get inside Toadstool or Sirene on my preview day.

Meteor Astropub was really good. It's the same deal as Three Broomsticks & Thunder Falls Terrace - you mobile order from the table & they bring your food. Or you can order from a human; ideally have someone save your table & know the number. They were fairly quick and not busy at all. They have freestyle machines & restrooms right in the restaurant, we dawdled as a rest break in the A/C. Would totally get the chicken & waffle again, it was lovely.

I really do like the mobile order from table first deal. Das Stakehaus was easy peasy. The Burning Blade needs help. A real disconnect.

I added to the thread and probably should have shared more pics/thoughts. I'll be back come winter even though I live closeby.

As I recall, Thrill Data had it between 7-8K at the low end of early AP previews and 10-13K at the high end when it went public

That sounds about right. We went the first and last days of AP previews. The first day was just shockingly empty. Long, long stretches of pathway with nary a soul in sight. Not sure about wait times because Dad has a GAP, but they seemed really short. Monday was noticeably more "crowded", but I'm using that term incredibly loosely. It was brutally hot that day, and we never had trouble finding space on one of the handful of benches in the shade, so the place was still incredibly empty by theme park standards. Just had to share walkways and express queues with a few people lol.

We caved and bought tickets for next Saturday. Heat wave is supposed to break, and supposedly attendance will still be capped, plus it's finally open till 10 so we'll be able to see it after dark. Plus, Dad's service dog couldn't get enough of it. She looked so sad when it was time to leave. So I'm glad we can take her again before the crowds get ridiculous.
