Universal's Epic Universe - News and Discussion

[PrincessV]

Mead Hall both days we were there was also pretty empty, but it's one large room as far as I could tell versus the setup of Le Gobelet Noir.

I tried Mead Hall one of my days, but it was at peak meal hour and PACKED with a wait to get in! I hope to get there eventually.

I recall seeing something a few months back that they had no seats at the various bars - for example Oak & Star had a bar area with seats - they were there during previews - but then Universal removed them.

I know they took the seats out at several places years ago - like the Back Water bar in IOA.

They still have seats in Finnigan's - although they do take them out for HHN.

Anyway - what is the status of this now in Epic?

My choice is to sit outside at the cafe in the HP area - you can mobile order a beer and people watch.

I was only indoors at the QS side of Oak & Star, so IDK about the indoor bar section. But there were lots of tables and chairs at the outdoor walk-up bar there.

sorry if this has been discussed...I'm late to the party & trying to read up.

For Early Entry....."IF" they open BatM early, are they allowing everyone in or just hotel guests?

Like this morning, park opens 10:00, EE 9:00.......I just took a look & BatM has 75 min wait @ 9:15.

From what I have read elsewhere, all park guests are being allowed to queue at MoM whether or not they are early entry guests. If this is still true, it makes early entry of no value for that attraction. I had thought that MoM commonly started operations around 09.30, but if wait times are accessible at 09.15, maybe it's even earlier.

Thanks.....that's what I'm thinking. Darn, I wish they would just let hotel guest in if it did open before normal time. We don't go until the weekend before Thanksgiving so, who knows if something might change.
I am glad we probably won't be doing Virtual Ticket......I suck at getting those...LOL.
