Super excited!!! I was hearing they wanted it open BY summer, which implies before I guess? Maybe? LOL Who knows, but I'm glad we have a set date and everything is moving forward now with tickets and such!
I'm definitely going to get an opening day ticket. Opening day will be a wild event, and will likely be too crowded to get much done, so hopefully the AP preview days will get me on all the rides before that...
I probably wont buy many more day passes after opening day though... I think AP options will open up as soon as the day passes are drying up. An economic crash in the next year could actually make that happen sooner than later.
Guess it will be a couple of years before I get to go because we just got back from a week and 2 nights of HHN. Gotta pay that off! But, I want to give EPIC time to get past that huge opening. I think I would like to book a package and stay at the Grand Helios. I will be keeping up with your updates! Thank you.
I hear that, if you aren't a passholder (and even still, it gets pricey) it can be a lot of money to take a trip down here. I think it's smart to let the "hype" subside a bit in the future before visiting. Though, I imagine it'll be at least 2 years of pretty active attendance. Even the nintendo land at Hollywood is still SUPER backed, and that's just one land. So I think this will hold a strong demand for at least a few years. But we'll see in time!
This brand new opening of Epic Universe seems pretty cool! I hope when they ticket go on sale they have good deal for passholders or when you get a extra discount when buying several ones as family package! Thank you for the information!
Smart choice. I imagine they do something with passholders at SOME point for next year. When, is the big question. BUT! They did say annual passes will be available at a later time on the site, so I think we're all good on that front!
Epic - already living up to their name! It was great that Universal provided a means for us AP holders tp purchase single day tickets. I agree that I believe they will be more than the price given for regular tickets that include the two-days at the other parks, $200 per day sounds right. I'm curious if you make a hotel reservation at the Helios if that affects the ticket price and if you can buy Epic tickets for each day your are booked at the hotel. I've heard elsewhere that the hotel is NOT as expensive as people may think (I think I heard it on That Park Place, not sure). Time will tell though! Yes - I will be up all night on the 21st into the 22nd for hotel reservations, sleep the 23rd, and then be up all night for Epic tickets! Hmmmm..... I wonder if Universal planned it that way!
For real! I'm hoping they still have opening week tickets for AP, they said they allocated tickets for AP for opening week. But I don't know if that includes opening day! I know we got our Helios reservations, but we have to still wait and see what's all included yet haha! I know Express isn't included yet, so I don't know how timing will be with that. I'm planning on being up all night for AP tickets tomorrow. But I have to make sure everything is ready before hand still LOL
As much as I’d love to go on the opening day. I think it’s a wiser choice to just hold on for a few months while the hype drops just a little bit and then try to get a better package I’m talking about express pass, less crowds, cheaper and overall a most “enjoyable” experience
I definitely hear that. Those first few weeks are going to be ABSURD. And opening day will be an absolute madhouse in that park lol. BUT! They have time to prepare, and I believe they'll be able to manage crowds well.
Is it your intent to try to get bundle tickets to get first week dates? Or will you be waiting for annual pass holder single day tickets before buying any?
I will be going for the AP tickets. I can't justify spending the extra money when my pass lets me get into the other parks. Just going to hope we can score early tickets on the 24th.
once the hype dies down they BETTER offer something else to passholders. i think these two ticket offerings are for them to gauge the demand but we will see more once it opens.
I imagine they'll bring something to passholders to upgrade for sure, when, no clue LOL. But I think they know there's a LOTTTT of demand, so they have to monitor that, and that might be only allowing ticketed purchases for the first few weeks. I don't love it, but I understand it.
I think whenever they initially offer ap it will not be an add on. It will be an upgrade to a new 4 park pass one tier above the current 3 park premier and priced accordingly. Initially anyway
Being an individual AP, I am not sure what they mean by ". Limit one (1) 1-day Universal Epic Universe ticket per day per Pass." Does this mean I can buy 1 day to Epic on the 24 and another day on the 25th , etc. Or I get one day period?
I don't think we totally know yet. I think the assumption is you can buy more than one day, but it'll have to be another transaction. That's my thought, no guarantee, though!
I don't want to spend so much money to go to the park for one day..I guess I will be waiting for 2026 to go to epic universe hopefully I can spend 2 days so I won't have to rush so much
Are you excited or what?! It's happening!! 🙌🔥🔥
So exciting!!!!Universal DELIVERS again!
They said they'd open EPIC in the summer next year and May 22 is actually Spring! Woot woot! 🎉
Super excited!!!

Love your reviews of the newest info! Thanks Dillon ! 👏

I wonder if they'll do AP previews. No word as of yet, but it'd be cool if they do! It's going to an absolute madhouse, for sure haha 😂
First from Ireland 🇮🇪 ❤ great video!
Thank you! Appreciate it!!

Of course! I think we'll be getting a lot of information in the coming months about anything additional, but we just have to keep our eyes peeled!
What I am really hoping for are passholder previews
We can hope!! I don't know if there's plans for it or not, though 😦
My plan is for the 2nd day, Friday the 23rd
Hoping for pass holder previews in April for my birthday
So freaking excited
That's awesome!!! I hope you can grab it! It's going to be quite the race for tickets, I'm sure haha.
Im out of state (GA) UOAP, so im going to wait for epic pass holder options so I can go all the time when I make the trip 😊
Also, top THAT Disney 😜

I hope I can snag a single day ticket thanks to my AP. Those are gonna sell out faster than a lightning strike.
They honestly might 😆 Hopefully everyone can grab one!

@@Dillon.ThomasYeah you never know, I’m way too excited for this park, I might just end up booking the 3 day package at the end jeje.
