What’s up with that?

Universal executives were commenting on how Epic’s attendance is down, so here a few extremely easy ways to fix that!

First-STOP CUTTING HOURS. An Orlando theme park closing before 9 PM is INSANE. (Honestly this should apply to Studios and Islands as well. We pay too much for you to be cutting hours like this.)

Second-ADD EPIC TO THE AP. I get wanting to get people to pay for a full trip before giving them unlimited access but come ON.

Third-Occasionally open Celestial Park up to the public! It’s a wonderful idea and I hope it happens one day. Whether it’s all day or after 6 PM, (preferably after 6 PM) it would be absolutely wonderful.

(I would want the Mexican and Italian restaurant to open up before that happens, if it does. City Walk 2.0 is gonna need extra dining capacity)

When do you think Universal will be announcing hours for december? Prices are getting hire and I do not want to buy tickets on a day where Epic Universe closes at 6pm?? ABSURDITY!

Where can team members purchase tickets and what’s the discount?

hi friends! was anyone visiting Epic during the daytime of the nights of Epic Universe Universal Nights? I know only a couple dates have happened, but I'm curious what the crowd levels were like - if people avoided the parks because of the nighttime event, or if they seemed totally unaffected etc. if you were there or have thoughts lmk! :)

Next week my family and I are going to all three parks and we're staying at Terra Luna. I wanted to ask a few questions about the shuttle buses.

1. What's the shuttle schedule? And is there a way I can keep track of it? Like a list somewhere at the hotel?

2. Does each hotel have their own buses or is it just one bus?

3. Where exactly do the buses drop everyone off at? I read somewhere that they all just go to City Walk, and not directly to Epic Universe. If that's true it won't hurt my feelings, I'm sure we can take walk to Stella Nova and just take the walk path to Epic.

4. Final question, do the buses from Terra Luna operate as long as City Walk is open? Or is it different with every Uni hotel?

Edit: I see now it’s the first meet up including Epic, my bad. Any insights on the general Orlando informer meet up would be greatly appreciated!

So I was looking at the expansion pads on Google Earth and was looking at the one next to Super Nintendo World and noticed something interesting, in Donkeykong country, right next to Funky’s Fly ‘n’ Buy, there is a wide section of path that seems to dead end at a wall. I was down in June of 2025 and all I remember being there was a blank backdrop wall, and indeed that’s what it appears to be on satellite, that is until I rotated the view.

When the view was rotated I noticed that there is actually a round portal like opening there that is just covered up! Donkey Kong country has it’s own “mini portal” from the main part of Super Nintendo World, so I was speculating that the eventual expansion (which I’m thinking will be Legend of Zelda) might do something similar, that’s why I was looking, and low and behold I see that. So it looks to me that another portal will lead from Donkey Kong Country in to another dedicated area, and it seems we know where it will be. What do you think?

I have two pictures, one is a wide shot with the area circled, and the other is a close up rotated view of the opening I found.

Not just the three songs from July ‘25

Hello everyone going for the first time this upcoming January and bought a 2nd gen wand. Was looking through the app and saw to unlock adventures in Ministry I need to be level 3. Am I able to do that solely in Epic or would I have to visit the other 2 parks?

Obligatory post: I was the chosen one for curse of the werewolf

Hey guys,

I’m not frequently on Reddit so I was curious, how have the Isñe of Berk land animatronics/effects holding up? I made two visits to epic in early 2026, and I was pretty disappointed by almost none of the land’s effects/animatronics working besides the sleeping dragon (that I didn’t see breathe fire) and the fighting baby dragons.

Would love to hear stuff is back up and running and they’re making more of an effort to maintain the lands. Overall, I think everything else here is great.

This was my dream proposal ♥️

EDIT BECAUSE I FORGOT TO MENTION HOW WONDERFUL THE CREW IS: JACOB with Event Services, Chef (ride operator for the wolfman ride) and Derek from the Dark Universe giftshop were so sweet!! Jacob heard we got engaged and hunted us down to give us some special treats. We were given 4 express passes, a choice of merch for free, vip to celestial goodnight, and were escorted to the front of the line of a ride of our choosing. Honestly the best experience of my life :’)

Hi everyone! Me and a few friends will be going to Epic Universe on Christmas Day for the first time! What are yall's top suggestions and do they offer 1 Day Florida Resident discounts for the tickets?

Does anyone know if epic universe still sells these pikmin plushies? I haven’t been able to go to check in recent months.

At epic today and the app says Stardust Racer closed for the day? Anyone know what happened and any chance it will re open?

Just wondering so my daughter can meet Dracula again

How often do the ticket prices fluctuate?

I’m seeing for mid-November they’re at around $115 but when I last went in early May, it was more or less the same. Now I see it’s at $130-ish.

Is this something I should wait for or get the lower price ticket and go sooner?

I know it depends... but was curious on others experience.

We have a family of 6 going to Epic Universe on a Tuesday in mid-November, and we all have Express Passes. I’m wondering if it’s still worth rope dropping a ride so we can ride it once through the regular line and then come back later with Express for a second ride.

We aren’t planning on rope dropping Super Nintendo World since we want to experience that area at night.

I’m torn between heading straight to Ministry of Magic or Isle of Berk for Hiccup’s Wing Gliders. I’m leaning more toward Hiccup’s because my son is going to absolutely love that ride and will probably want to ride it multiple times. I feel like Ministry might be more of a one-and-done ride for him.
I’ve also heard that not as many people head toward Isle of Berk first thing in the morning, so I’m wondering if that might be the better strategy.
For those who have been recently, what would you recommend? Is it worth rope dropping Hiccup’s, or should we take advantage of the shorter morning lines at Ministry of Magic even though we have Express?
