I actually think it makes sense, that is a good way to keep the crowds under control as much as possible without implementing something like reservation required. As an out of state passholder i was gonna wait as long as possible to plan my trips because of how crowded this park is going to be so I'm glad to hear it
I'm ok with there not being single day tickets to start out. I understand how incredibly busy this park will be. I just really hope they have a good solution for passholders/Florida residents. Very excited!
It would appear from your news that Universal have found a slick way of making everyone pay a higher price to visit Epic. If it is successful, imagine other companies doing the same thing, such as you can't buy a burger unless you buy fries, or maybe Disney will only sell tickets for there parks but that includes food. This is just a way of charging massive prices to visit a theme park that may or may not have amazing rides. If it isn't as great as you are predicting then why cash in so quickly on its launch. If it is going to be so amazing why not price it the same as others to let everyone pass the word on that it is worth a visit. I think maybe this park may not have the rides as amazing as you may think. Hence Universal are going to cash in as much as possible before the word gets out. This has happened with new movies, everyone rushes to see it because of the hype, then once its released word slips out it is not as good as expected. I know many people who saw Barbie felt this way. Why over price something if you still want people to come and buy it, unless?
It’s a terrible practice. If Disney did that, people would be pissed. It shows when given the opportunity, universal is no less of a greedy corporation.
@@metallicnole4514 so what do you think they should do instead? Do you think they should just have open admission?
@@bezoticallyyours83 this isn't to adjust to just your liking, this is to try to keep the majority in a controlled matter. Either wait it out or enjoy the day you can go
@@lucasd6880 Universal has never had a park with such a demand on a similar level to magic kingdom or disneyland. This is the shiny new toy people will want to check out. A reasonable way to do it is similar to what disney does. Sell individual day tickets, but limit how many tickets can be sold for a given day. That way it mitigates overcrowding and bottlenecking. It also allows universal to practice managing the capacity for this new park. And once they've gotten better at managing capacity, they can allow more and more people in on a given day. No matter what they do, there will be people that are upset, and you'll start to see them make some of the same moves that disney does when you have a park in such high demand.
Just want to add that I think they are going this direction to "spread the love" across all the parks so this will encourage people to experience all the parks and not just plan for 4+ days only at Epic.
Absolutely!
This shows they know people will have no interest in the other parks and they are gonna force people to go if you want epic
@@metallicnole4514 Maybe for locals who might be burnt out going to the same parks all the time. For people who visit from other states (or countries) seeing all the parks is important regardless of the newest park IMO. When IOA opened we spent just as much time at Universal when visiting. I think it's a smart marketing decision also which will encourage people to plan their whole vacation at Universal vs spending 1-2 days at Epic and then jumping to Disney or Sea World for other days.
@@tecwzrd All it tells me is that universal knows that the other 2 parks will suffer so they wanna force people to go there. This is a greedy corporate move that is not consumer friendly. If disney tried to pull something like this, people would be pissed.
@@metallicnole4514exactly what I thought
My wife and I used to go to Disney every year. But, due to the price increases, lessening the amenities you get and their current policies. We will probably not be returning and have been looking into Universal instead. All your info is greatly appreciated.
This is an unprecedented event. Period! I'm just in awe of the Universal team's commitment, and I'm sure they will also commit to giving us the best experience! So excited for this!
the tickets make sense to me, so many people (even non-theme park enthusiasts that i talk to) are already talking about epic universe! thanks for keeping us updated!! 😄
The ticket sale proposal makes sense honestly. Helps to spread out the crowds. But, kind of stinks for annual pass holders for Studios/IOA… you have to buy a multi-day ticket for parks you’re already paying for if you want to go to Epic Universe… hoping future announcements include other options for AP’s. And, I’m really, REALLY hoping that changing Sapphire Falls to be in the tier that includes Express Pass doesn’t happen… it’s nice having an option to have a nicer hotel experience and not have to pay the premium for express passes if you do not want them.
If true about the signature hotels (5 of them), we may be saying goodbye to the included Universal Express with your room key. That’s a lot of hotel rooms to allow all those guests to skip the line. Just speculation, but possible.
Very good point!
Right-or hopefully doesn’t mean Sapphire Falls bumps up to $500/night. I do love the resort and had the opportunity to stay at that one and Portofino with family on the same trip-but I personally can’t afford that price tag, so I will be a bit broken hearted as I was very much looking forward to going to sapphire with my hubby some day as he didn’t get to join that family trip. I feel like this whole Epic prospect, though wildly exciting and inspiring, is one long season of trepidation that universal might become disney (in affordability) when all is said and done. I truly hope they understand Disney crowds are dropping bc they bled their audience dry…. We are HAPPY to spend our discretionary budgets with theme parks, but not all of us have the ability to increase the discretionary spending, and most have had to cut it back severely these last few years. 🤞🏻
With the addition of Saphire falls I think there will be a change to the express pass. I wish it would stay unlimited express but that is way too many rooms having unlimited express. I would bet they will change it to one time express per attraction, per day. Just my opinion.
Eeek or Express Pass goes the way of Lightning Lanes where there's too many people in line.
oh my! you are right!
i think sapphire falls was in a perfect place, a nice enough hotel and reasonably priced even though you didnt get express pass. now, if that price bumps up a couple hundred dollars, it takes it off my list honestly.
Exactly! It was more affordable than the ones with express pass but still offers water taxi, which is why I loved it so much. I tried to look at prices for September 2025 and it has increased drastically in price and is no longer affordable.
So, that’s pretty smart. It’s going to force those in the area to eat up at least 2 of their vacation days taking away from WDW. Lol
It’s a cash grab. I bet if Disney did the same, you would be pissed.
Greed
At least they’re reinvesting in the parks
Disney the money’s been a black hole for the last 6 years
🤞 for Disneyland Forward
@@-dtuyhnjhggvjjjn You're kidding, right? Going back six years takes us to 2019. Since 2019 Disney has opened Star Wars Galaxy's edge (multiple attractions, restaurant, area development), TRON, Cosmic Rewind, Space (restaurant), Ratatouille (with expanded French pavilion), Tiana's, new Country Bears, and Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway at Walt Disney World. How does that compare to Comcast's investment at USF or IOA?
I think this will only be for the beginning. Then it would be much more accessible. As PC Dev says, they have to keep investors happy to continue with Universal's projects. But we have to remember, Epic is a park that will be with us forever, so we can go whenever we want, or everything goes back to normal.
Imagine if disney made such a move. People would be in an uproar
@metallicnole4514 tru. I don't like the 1 day only part for all of 2025. Give people 2 days at least starting in october. That should be enough to see everything generally.
@@reecelee5218 I will wait until single day tickets are available
I totally understand why they would do this. There’s an old adage in life, always leave them wanting more. We all know EU is going to be a grand slam and while yes of course I would want more than one day in there and that’s the point! Universal is doing a phenomenal job because while we might be a little disappointed in this news we know it’s going to be worth it to go back for another visit and Universal knows this as well. Deep down this just doesn’t bother me that much because I feel that we will get our moneys worth at EU.
I agree! I imagine they'll want to be careful about upsetting the international audience and will avoid doing anything that gives Florida residents or US citizens too much of an advantage, especially considering the blowback Disney has received for doing just that with their new lightning lane.
As someone from the UK who travelled to Orlando around the time Rise of the Resistance opened - it was very disheartening to turn up at the park at 8am and fine the virtual queue already full with local Annual Pass Holders. This way, everyone gets a chance to go with the flow on the day.
Oh I completely get it, it’s a way to enforce crowd control which I am always here for. Look, Epic Universe is going to shatter records, there hasn’t been a new Orlando park in quite some time and Universal is known to blow away crowds with their theming and technology so this is going to be CRAAAAAZY in its opening days and year thereafter. They’re smart to implement a system that prevents as much chaos as possible. Also very excited to hear there will be 2 more hotels added to the deluxe category!
on one hand I get why Sapphire would be added to the signature list due to it's quality; but on the other that was part of it's value to me, a hotel with a signature feel but lower in price due to lack of express pass (made it a great option during non busy times of year).
Thanks for the update Dev! It’s crazy that this park is actually happening now. Us from 2020 would not believe we are actually here! I’m really hoping I can get into AP previews before they sell out if they offer them, because I don’t want to pay for a multi-day ticket if I don’t have to! I will definitely pay if I have to though lol. I’m so excited to finally go to Super Nintendo World, been waiting for this since the partnership was announced in 2015! Dark Universe is gonna be awesome as well, dragons is gonna be stunning to walkthrough, and Potter looks to be amazing (can’t wait for that reveal), and Celestial Park is gonna be beautiful! This place is gonna be AMAZING!
I’m excited for a possible Epic Universe annual pass! If this is true, it sucks that we won’t be able to visit the other parks but coming from a 27+ year Florida resident I’ve done and seen everything at the 2 original universal parks and I am already mainly focusing on epic universe when it does open next year so I’m all down for a single park annual pass at the moment!
I’m totally cool with an annual pass just for Epic. That’s all I really need right now. I’m also ready to drop that money for the pass!!
This is actually a really good move to get the money from Disney people who don’t really have interest in UO IP, but just want to be able to visit EU. I’m much more likely to get an AP if it’s only for Epic.
To me that makes zero sense. I'm not sure why he said that. It sounds like it's just saying information about all annual pass changes coming soon. It's a big leap to conclude that means there will be an Epic-only annual pass.
Thanks for giving us the heads up on the new information on the theme park! Keep doing what you do!
To me, it makes sense that Epic Universe would only have two/three day park passes because 1) It'll have Universal see what the foot traffic is like, 2)Gage wait times for rides and restaurants, and 3.) Adjust any logistic issues that can arise with a new park, such as technical difficulties on rides and line ques.
They want to control the crowds and don't want to take away from the marketshare of their other parks and want to make extra money while doing it. The move makes sense whether you like it or not. I wouldn't enjoy an overly crowded theme park so I am ok with it but I'll probably wait for things to cool down either way.
I wonder if they will give employees and passholders access first.
Oh they better not do us passholders wrong!!
I imagine they'll want to be careful about upsetting the international audience and will avoid doing anything that gives Florida residents or US citizens too much of an advantage, especially considering the blowback Disney has received for doing just that with their new lightning lane.
As someone from the UK who travelled to Orlando around the time Rise of the Resistance opened - it was very disheartening to turn up at the park at 8am and fine the virtual queue already full with local Annual Pass Holders... essentially, if Universal wants this park to big with international fans, which it will need to be to eclipse Disney, they need to make sure (at least for the first few years) that everyone who wants to get in, will get in, at least once.
Say it again
At least they are offering an AP. I was more worried about them doing like a "mini" admission per portal. Something like choose Monsters for $49, Super Nintendo for $59 per day or some kind of combo bundle of some or all.
@@MappingOutMyTheoriesIt’s still like that on busier days at Disney. You have to be on the app at 7am to get in a virtual queue. But that’s a Disney specific problem. Universal doesn’t regularly have virtual queues, but when they do it’s not that stressful.
@MappingOutMyTheories from another UK resident, well said 👏 👍
Can’t wait to organize the trip to America to visit this new park! Greetings from Ireland 🎉
Wow Dev! I agree wholeheartedly with you! It is going to be unbelievable for Universal! Everyone who is anyone will want to be there! Interesting on the tickets! Great to know info! Keep up the good work!
Again - thank you for your straightforward approach to your announcements. Your information really helps me to plan for my future trips. Although I would love to be able to visit Epic Universe in 2025 I may hold off to 2026. I hope I am physically able to make that trip as I am an older senior & as the years pass it does get increasingly more difficult to get around. Epic Universe will be such a monumental Epic adventure that I expect the park will see crowds that would make even the busiest days at other venues pale in comparison. I will stay tuned to your impeccable coverage to help me with the timing of my trip. Keep up your good work! I will be watching.
i get it but i think it kind of sucks cause it will be impossible to do all the lands in epic in one day...so one would have to schedule multiple trips just to do it all which between tickets, hotel, and airfare for some would get very expensive
My thoughts too. This makes me really sad
@@ellenkirby8366 I almost feel like I would not mind a reservation system to be able to go however, many days I would want
I prefer to go more than one day so this does not bother me at all. I can’t wait. I’ll be there this August.
Hoping to go in early October next year and stay at Helios. Keeping my eyes out for when they start booking.
I hope Cabana Bay quality doesn’t go down if it gets bumped down from prime value to value 😢 I love cabana bay
Thanks PC Dev for the info! Much as I would like to see EU, my plan is to wait about a year before going, and see what UO/IOA/EU /poss. hotel packages are available. Keep up the good work!😃👍
Not surprising - they had to do *something* to keep Epic Universe from getting absolutely slammed during its opening months. Imagine if they let people go there all 5 days for their 5 day park pass. One very important note - this info is for ticket resellers only. Universal will likely have more options for tickets sold directly. Maybe they'll have a multi-day pass where you can go to Epic Universe 2 out of 5 days. Maybe they will have Single day passes for Epic Universe, but they cost 50% more than tickets to the other parks and you have to make a park reservation.
Love the t shirt Dev. Just to say I may not comment for a while as I've broken my wrist and chipped my elbow but don't worry am still following all your fab videos, they are helping me get through the pain ❤❤❤❤
I kind of like the idea for people who travel from out of town like myself that they are limiting Epic to only one day even if you come for two weeks. That way they can somewhat limit how crowded it is, but still feel there are going to be a lot of sold out days. I feel for the locals though who want to go constantly. I'm not coming until 2027 and I hope the crazy crowds will slow down by then.
My thoughts exactly - I imagine they'll want to be careful about upsetting the international audience and will avoid doing anything that gives Florida residents or US citizens too much of an advantage, especially considering the blowback Disney has received for doing just that with their new lightning lane.
As someone from the UK who travelled to Orlando around the time Rise of the Resistance opened - it was very disheartening to turn up at the park at 8am and fine the virtual queue already full with local Annual Pass Holders. This is a good solution I think.
@@MappingOutMyTheories I feel locals should have discounts, but not favoritism when it comes to getting access to the parks. I'm moving to the area also in 2027 and looking forward to going whenever I feel like it.
I'm surprised that people are supporting such a practice. Because if disney did this, people would be raging.
@@metallicnole4514 I think strong park management is important to ensure visitors get the best experience. Slowing down visits to one day for a new park just makes sense to me. It might only be that way for the first few months to a year but I don't think it's that drastic.
@@tecwzrd I think the better option would be to sell individual day tickets, but limit how many can be sold on a given day so that they can manage capacity. This is the first time universal will have a park in such high demand as magic kingdom or disneyland. So they will be forced to make similar moves to manage capacity.
Just told my husband about your prediction of the opening date and he said, "420". LOL.
This was great news when i found out. This will prevent guests from waiting all day in lines and wishing they had a choice to jump to another park or another day and not feel lile they wasted their money on a single day to do 1-3 attractions
If there are actually going to be two separate annual pass programs, it causes me to really view Universal Orlando as the "old park" and Epic U as the "new park" in my decision-making- instead of, you know, a more universal view (pun intended!)😂Will probably start only going to special ticket events like HHN or City Walk at UO.
Thanks for the update Dev. I think Universal is smart and has a good hold on this.
LOVE the Chronos model - SO AWESOME!
I know they are not doing express right away but what about the people staying at helios: will they not get express? Or they will but not for epic?
I haven’t heard anything about that yet.
@@EastCoastadventures215 Guess you couldn’t listen to their guidelines.
@@TravelwithDana19 nothing I said was not already leaked. But you’re right. I deleted my comment. Gotta be better I suppose on my end. I haven’t shared info but everything we got in the training was out a week ago. Was just going of that.
Can't wait for it to open. WDW should be having some awesome deals to attempt to fill their parks.
As an Orlando resident who had never payed full price for a 1 day ticket, this is the first time in my life I’d want to and actually overpay to be there near the opening day. Big day for Orlando and our little theme park bubble. 🥳 It’s going to be a incredible!
I definitely think it's accurate about the hotels. I was looking at them earlier today and they were listed aa "premier," "value," etc.
I am excited for Epic universe
Some of us will not be able to visit Epic universe for at least a couple of years probably even longer because of the cost and the high demand. That’s the way it goes. It makes sense for them to do this on a business level and probably for guest experience so everyone can have the universal resort experience.
This is actually a smart way to control crowds, as long as it's not too out of hand with the prices I don't mind this move
I can always count on you dev god I can’t wait for epic universe to open
It makes sense however truly hoping they have a better solution for passholders and locals who have no need to purchase additional tickets to go to UO & IOA
I’m pretty positive they will have ap previews of epic before the grand opening.
@@PCDev now I know times have changed but there wasn't AP preview for islands of adventure.
Great news! It's largest theme park in US! It has to stand alone! 😊
Much love to you Disney family from Daniel Beach 👋🏿🙏🏿✝️🏰🚅🙌🏿❤️🥰😘👑🌄🌅🏝️🌈🏰🌈🧡💛💚💜💖✨💐🌏✝️🙏🏿✝️❤️🥰😘👋🏿
IMHO Universal should use the TapuTapu wristbands for virtual queues at ALL their parks, or a similar virtual queue system for all of Epic Universe in the least. I'm shocked other parks aren't doing this.
As someone from the uk I come visit for 14 days I hope places like attraction tickets have combo tickets that include epic universe
I heard it is only one day of the 14 for Epic
@@andreiaassis6003Just one day?? That’s crazy!
They will probably have the busiest summer for a new theme park ever. People need to keep in mind attractions will probably be down with technical issues. I would give it a couple months before going.
Real talk brother? I was gonna go multiple days regardless anyway so if that’s what has to be done to go then so be it. Can’t wait!!
I'm excited about Saphire falls!
Only problem is you can’t do that park in one day. So you would have to buy multiple tickets to get more days which is unfair. I get they have to make money but people traveling who don’t live there are not coming for the other parks.
No, I think those of us who don't live there are much more likely to want to visit all three parks. The locals would be the ones less likely to visit the older parks unless something new opens.
@@rb5078 I see that I have just been to universal Orlando a number of times and would much rather have mote time in epic if I’m coming all the way there.
Just be patient. It won’t be like that forever. There’s still more info on other options to come. They’re just trying to not go over capacity and are trying to get the people who stay on property or buy multiple day tickets the first crack.
I'm in the same boat. I live in Cali and its a 7 hour flight to Orlando. We don't get to do the theme parks in Fl very often. I've booked reservations for mid October for myself, daughter and 2 grandsons at the Terra Luna. We wanted tickets for 1 day in US 2 days in IOA and 2 days in Epic but now hearing this I don't know how it will work. I am not interested in any days in Volcano Bay and we really wanted Epic for 2 days with and express pass but looks like they won't even be offering express passes either for Epic. So 1 day with no express pass is simply not going to be enough to experience even half of that park since the lines are likely to be 3 hours or more long with no express pass.
@@rb5078 Coming from Cali for 5 days and I do want all 3 parks but I want more than one of those days in Epic because there is no way we'll be able experience that whole park in one day if they do not offer express pass as an option as well. I'll feel let down and cheated if one of my days is spent in a way I did not want it spent. I'll hold out till Sept of 2025 which is a month before we leave to decide if I want to cancel and try again the following year.
Makes perfect sense. Epic is going to attract many first time universal goers and essentially forcing crowd dispersing among all three parks means that each parks attendance remains high and provides first time guests more exposure to the universal trifecta. Keeps them invested in 3 days at universal and away from the mouse. Marketing genius
This will not force me to visit the other parks. I’m legit just not going to go until they offer Epic only tickets. But all the Universal diehards will eat up any ticket they offer.
I’m ok with that because if I can walk universal and island in 1 day I can do epic as well I’m a theme park enthusiast walker I be trying to ride everything and I do, so epic will be a piece of cake
That's interesting considering there's no way you'll be able to experience the whole park in 1 day
I'm just so excited to go! I'll wait until they allow more than one day at EU to go - I'm not a local and I don't want to make the long (and expensive) journey to Orlando just to anxiously rush around EU (or swim in a sea of people more like) trying to get everything done in one day :)
What would be cool is if active annual pass holders had an option to buy a single day ticket to Epic, and Universal could spread those available days throughout the first year (excluding weekends and holidays).
Wait for the Universal announcement. Because Universal said they have not made no such announcements on tickets.
Honestly, I think they should do single day tickets but keep everyday at a capacity limit. It’s not fair to those that can’t afford a 2 or 3 day ticket bundle. Thank you for the information. Love your videos.
I don’t think people realize just how busy epic universe is going to be. People from all over the world and all over the country are going to want to come to this theme park. No other Universal park in Hollywood, Japan, or China will have epic but Orlando so I understand why there doing it
Thanks for the info- great video! We are absolutely excited and know it will be really packed at Epic for a while
Makes zero sense to make passholders buy a ticket to parks they already have an AP to in order to get into Epic universe...also makes no sense to only be able to go to Epic 1 day if you are staying in the resort that connects to the Epic universe park...there will have to be a solution for AP holders
The "solution" is that AP will have to wait. Or at least that's my guess. Or they might offer a discount package. Tickets generate more money than passes. So with it being new, they will capitalize on they hype.
@@Seattleite100 you think APs will either have to wait or buy a ticket to all 3 parks? Yeah, I don't see that as realistic
AP don’t have access to epic. Your pass clearly states entry to studios and islands. Or volcano bay with that option.
@metallicnole4514 lol nobody is saying that the current AP should give you access to Epic... re-read the comment...
I'm saying there has to be an option for APs to buy tickets to only Epic since we already have passes to the other parks! Why should we have to buy a multiday multi park ticket just to get unto Epic when we've already purchased an AP to get into the other parks
@@AVAPopCulture I'm merely staying to clarify it for people who have a misunderstanding about their passes. If there is an option for ap's to buy a single day ticket, they will probably limit how many you can buy and you will not be able to buy tickets for others, only the passholder. Also expect such a ticket to have magic kingdom level pricing.
Universal's new strategy: make sure you have 'epic patience' while waiting for those multi-day passes! Thanks for keeping us updated with these inside scoops. It's great to see Universal investing so heavily in Epic Universe. It sounds like it's going to be an incredible addition to the theme park world.
Not sure how I feel about this as sapphire is our go to place to stay but mainly due to the boats and lower price from other top tear hotels. It means there is no longer a cheaper option if avoiding car rentals.
So I wonder if staying at the top tier hotel will it include express passes for both epic and universal studios together…
It’s good I won’t be there any time soon. I don’t want to deal with the crowds and chaos.
I'm surprised the Helios Grand isn't going to be its own level. The demand will be so high I'm sure the pricing will be much higher than the other "Signature" hotels.
Great information!! Thanks for sharing. I also heard a possibility of Universal offering some type of VIP package that would allow early access to Epic Universe before the official opening. Have you heard anything about this?
I think when the park opens not everything will be 100% done so this is their way to not have so much hatred from guest about stuff not being open yet.
Been waiting on this park for three years now! @Dev, it was your “ground breaking” and construction videos that first got me hyped!!! Like you said at the end of the video, we gotta do what we gotta do to be there! Would love if you saw this comment by liking it 🤘
I think is being way over hyped and a lot ppl are going to be let down
I'm OK with this, in fact I think its smart. It will likely all even out once Epic Universe has been open for a while.
That said, I don't think that Cabana Bay should be in the value category. I guess its at least partially about transportation?
I wouldn’t want one day anyway! I would hope in the future we can buy multiple days that include all the parks! ❤
Dev i think its a good idea, at least for the first months, maybe year or so. It will probably spread the crowds out enough for it be more enjoyable. For out of state visitors its good because i think they want the all inclusive Universal experience. Florida residents wont like it as much i presume
Thank You for this Epic Universe update video, Dev! 👍
I'm so damn pumped about Epic. My friends who are not universal obsessed think I'm crazy. I have two teen boys and I told them I was going on vacation for Epic with or without them lol
I think they going to have AP days or hours for current passholders, and then after a certain date, you can upgrade your pass to have epic or not, kinda like with Volcano Bay.
I remember reading about and seeing all the construction pics of Islands of Adventure when it opened on screamscape website which amazingly is still around.Universal screwed up and renamed the two parts Universal Escape and it confused everyone,like people had no idea there was a new park,it was busy when it opened but not on the levels they expected. Epic is gonna open at a time the country is not running full steam economically so although it will be very busy it won't be filling up to capacity that often maybe holiday weekends.I need to find out about APs right away,I feel an Epic only AP is not a good idea,why would Universal want you to just go to that park,you need people to continue going to the other parks,just continue doing the 2 park,Universal and Islands pass,a 3 park pass including Volcano and only offer Epic with a 4 park pass that Shirley won't be cheap,to me that seems the best option,look at Disney parks when Pirate and Pixie passes are blocked out,they're empty,people don't have the money to spend nearly a grand on one pass,getting an AP to this park won't come chesp.
Hey Dev, I'm not sure if you saw the video, but Universal Studio just released footage of one of their new Haunted House. Can't wait to hear your thoughts.
I can’t wait to see about the annual pass
We were gonna stay multiple days anyway so I’m perfectly fine with that. Epic Universe is WAAY too big to explore all in one day. You gotta remember it’s five worlds (lands) in one big park so it kinda works in your favor maybe not financially but you get the idea 😁
If you watch it again he says you have to buy a multi day ticket for all parks and only 1 visit to epic. So no multi days at Epic
@@Nanooksan09 I’m realizing now that I worded that weirdly lol what I meant was I was gonna stay multiple days to visit the other parks anyway. But I do realize now I just threw off my entire statement by saying the park was too big just to explore in one day insinuating that I was gonna to be able to go to Epic more than once sooo lol my bad. Good catch
I'm sure those staying at the Helios will be granted the use of multiple day Epic tickets.
They definitely will be prioritized
I would think so
While this being a rumor, I don’t think it will happen but if it does I will be a little upset. But we do not know yet until they fully announce it.
Thanks for vid! Hoping to go Dec next year
They know it’s going to be insanely busy so it makes sense.
lol i like the thumbnail man
I already have an Epic Universe trip scheduled for 2026, that first year is going to be crazy. I can't wait to see what Disney does for the 70th anniversary of Disneyland as a response.
Fine by me. We're not planning to visit when it first opens. Mainly because of the heat lol 😅 Can't wait to for Epic Universe to open! And my Dad read an article that Dollywood is planning to build a third park in Florida. Being a pass holder to the one in TN I'm excited for those who can't make the trek over here. 😊
Next to the fact that the tickets make sense in terms of crowds, I think it's a good strategic move to make Universal a place where people want to spend an entire week instead of a couple of days. It's the only thing that keeps them from beating Disney, visitors see Disney as a vacation destination, and Universal needs to be that too.
We have our family trip scheduled for late April too. I hope the rumors you read are true! 🙌🏽😎
2 day tickets don't make sense. The tickets were always going to be date based so it doesnt control crowds. Its just a money grab and way to ensure ppl still visit the other parks. They were never just going to release single day tickets without a reservation system in place. There will also most likely be a reservation system for Nintendo for the beginning as well.
Its the first announcement. I am sure they will offer them to APs. As for Florida Residents, they will offer a multi day ticket with Epic that hopefully cover several weeks of use. But maybe not on the later.
They are gatekeeping this park so hard (literally). If they aren't careful, they will actually dissuade people from even trying to get in...
I'll be watching the new park through UA-cam haha
I'm ok with it. I'm a local so I'm not going until I can stay in the Helios and have a multi-day ticket experience just for Epic. If I have to wait another year for it then so be it. It will just build the anticipation for me and make it that more exciting.
ill gladly have 2 sets of AP for the whole Universe..
A power pass to UO is already more expensive than a pixie pass to WDW. Adding another entire pass to have to purchase is ridiculous considering UO annual passes don't offer much at all.
@@SlayerSFoxeR wait, what? Universal's standard passes are cheaper than Disney's across the board.
@lucasd6880 Nah. The he base UO AP is trash with way too many block out dates and full price parking. Having less amenities and only including 2 parks isn't helping either. Adding an entire separate AP for just epic universe is a horrible idea.
@SlayerSFoxeR the base UO AP is cheaper than the base Disney AP. They both have comparable block out dates. I'm not understanding your argument
@@lucasd6880 I don't think the blockout dates are comparable at all. No free parking, and 2 parks versus 4. 20% off merch and anything branded disney. I like UO more myself but let's be fair, the WDW pixie pass is miles ahead of the base (seasonal) pass, and even better than the 2nd tier (power) pass.
I’m going to ask my travel agent about the hotels , since I’m going to plan a trip for 2025 . I’ve only been to universal 1 time and I loved it more than Disney. I stayed at portifino bay and I hope I can still get all the perks , it was such beautiful resort

Wouldn’t be surprised if they dropped it during D23.
