See the EXCLUSIVE Entrance to Epic Universe at Universal's Helios Grand Hotel

It’s finally time! We’re getting a chance to check out EVERYTHING Epic Universe has to offer, and are taking you along with us!

Helios Grand Hotel

That includes checking out Helios Grand Hotel, the newest Universal Orlando hotel, which also happens to be the first one to have an entrance directly into the park. But what exactly does that entrance look like? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered!

Helios Grand Hotel will have early theme park entry, just like all of Universal Orlando’s other hotels. Unlike the other hotels, you don’t need to take any transportation to get to the park, because you’re RIGHT there already!

All you have to do is just walk out the designated entrance, and you’ll be allowed to walk straight into the park, which will give you a MAJOR advantage over all the other early theme park entry guests who are coming from the front of the park.

Line

There is a sign near Aurora Market that will lead you to the entrance. The hallway is relatively lengthy. This morning, Early Entry started at 10:00 AM, and security checks began at approximately 9:10 AM. We arrived in line around 8:30 AM, but some people had been waiting since 7 AM.

The bridge

Once we got through the initial hallway line, we could proceed to the bridge that led to the park.

The hotel looks stunning in this lighting!

SO PRETTY!

After our security check and walk along the bridge, we made it into the park which puts you much closer to the portals to the other lands than the front entrance does, so you’ll definitely want to take advantage of this offer during early entry, but it also means stopping back by your room to drop off souvenirs or take a quick nap is much easier as well.
