This is our first time doing Mardi Gras as UOAP (or ever ;)) We did the Ride and Dine package. Can anyone tell us what to expect as first timers? Thanks so much!

Does anyone have experience riding the superstar Shuttle around midnight. I understand you have to go to the desk and call. How long did it take the shuttle to arrive? Are there better options for 8 people with 16 bags? Shuttle will be $175.

Anyone at Epic Universe today? We got in line for Mine Cart Madness before 9AM opening at 105 posted wait (85 estimated via Lines App) and we're over 120 and still counting .

Ouch!

For the record, the rest of the day was awesome! Saw two shows, relaxing meals at both HP-themed restaurants, and low waits for all other rides in the park-only 35 mins for Ministry :)

Hagrid Motorbike was over 3hr wait. just got off.

Three hours? I'm guessing you don't know that when you got in line.

No, thought it would be 90 to120 min. Attendant had top open lockers since it was far over expected and we were ask to pay $3 before opening. My wallet was in locker. Ended up FREE.

Sorry to hear about the wait. We did that one time a few years ago. Got in line thinking an hour and waited over 3. It's always a tough call once you've started waiting. If we'd known at the start what we knew at the end . . . But we can't live backwards.

ANOTHER update to early entry: https://www.universalorlando.com/web/en/gb/early-park-admission Battle has returned
7:50am on 2/13/26 by
Good luck! We will be coming from Helios, that is why I don't think we will try Nintendo world for rd. Still debating which we will do. Maybe we'll pick based on the weather lol. I would love to do battle and then toothless before reg park opening, ha!

From a liner who has spent six days at epic and yet to get on ministry due to a multitude of factors, I would do other things at rope drop. We have never gone with express but 100% with express would never rope drop ministry.

Full disclosure three of those days were during preview and three days were first of January 2026. maybe it's more reliable now but we got so much done during RD other than sitting in the floor waiting for it to open and it didn't.

For UOR-specifically bar Helios- is it like at wdw where if I book a table for 5 but only 4 show up it is ok with no penalty?

Finally, I don't know how but I mistakenly made the reservation for the wrong month at first. I often use Resy and OpenTable, so it was really weird it went through that way. I am glad I noticed it (later) and was able to modify.

Thanks for the info!

UOQOTD: My family was talking the other day about how we never go to Bubba Gump's and they should change it to a new restaurant. If they did - and it was another "big chain" restaurant, what would you like it to be? Or should they NOT change it? LOL :)

Disability assistance.. uni use to provide assistance for mobility issues. Im i correct they no longer do that?
8:41pm on 2/10/26 by
I thought I heard that many of the queues were designed to handle wheelchairs. Not sure tho.
8:24pm on 2/12/26 by
I have been in a wheelchair at USO (original 2 parks only) and found it true that I did most queues as designed. The team members were seamless with wheelchair assistance. But I did not need a pass so I don't know about that.
6:26am on 2/13/26 by
My wife had to use a wheelchair a few times at UO and I will say that we never had problems with rides, and the TMs were great. I will also say however that they need more ramps from the streets to the sidewalks!

Has this been posted? https://www.universalorlando.com/web/en/gb/early-park-admission The list of EE attractions has changed again? The prior list for Epic said it was for 2/1-2/28 but it didn't last the month.
7:43am on 2/11/26 by
When we were there in August they kept telling us MOM was not EE but everyone went and lined up at the portal anyway. They then let people in quite a bit earlier than park opening anyway. 9:30 for a 10 am regular opening.
6:23am on 2/12/26 by
I do not know if that will be the case now.
6:23am on 2/12/26 by
Curious how it's going for EE at Battle. Also does it still die down later in day? At one point late afternoon was when TP suggested to ride but that was quite early on w Epic.
