Well, it finally happened. Epic Universe is officially open to the public, and we were there LIVE on opening day.

We’ve also got some great news for those visiting Epic Universe who are staying in Universal Orlando hotels: the early park admission perk has officially started for Epic Universe, so you can get in the new park EARLY.
Early park admission was available during the Universal Orlando Annual Passholder early previews for Epic Universe, but it wasn’t available on opening day. However, it is available now, so if you’re staying at a Universal Orlando hotel, you can get into Epic Universe one hour early before its official opening time.
This is especially helpful if you’re staying at the Universal Helios Grand Hotel because it has its own dedicated entrance that leads directly into Epic Universe.

So, what kind of other perks are available for Universal Orlando hotel guests? All Universal Orlando hotels offer complimentary transportation to all of their parks. If you stay at a Signature Collection hotel, you also get Universal Express Unlimited, which lets you skip the standby lines at rides at Universal Studios Florida and Universal’s Islands of Adventure. Plus, you get to live in the Universal bubble (it’s not QUITE like the Disney bubble, but close enough).

So, what can you do during early admission in Epic Universe? During early previews, you could ride Stardust Racers in Celestial Park, as well as Yoshi’s Adventure, Mario Kart: Bowser’s Challenge, and Mine-Cart Madness in Super Nintendo World.

Of course, early admission also applies to Universal Studios Florida and Universal’s Islands of Adventure, so you can take advantage of some rides in those parks, too, by getting in an hour early.
Check back with AllEars again soon for more.
