Orlando Universal Epic Universe ๐ข
No Early Wake-Up, No Early Entry, No Express โ Full Day Itinerary Share!As someone who canโt get up early, we entered the park around 9:50 AM. We planned to buy Express passes but were told they were sold out ๐ข. Little did we know, we were in for a surprise-filled day!!!Except for Werewolf By Night (which only opened around 9 PM), we rode almost everything. Even the popular rides had waits of only about 30 minutes โ and it was a Monday holiday with tons of people ๐คฏ!For those who didnโt get Express and donโt mind splitting up with your group: GO FOR SINGLE RIDER!!! Saved a whopping $300+ ๐ฐ!โ ๏ธ Note: Single Rider lines skip the regular queueโs themed scenery.
