Helios report: 6:45 pm reservation at rooftop last Sunday. Ordered hearty shareable plates. Loved Farmers Cheese, Calamari, Beef skewer. Plenty for 4 adults. Seated inside (chilly) and then went to balcony for 9 pm lighted fountain show, amazing!

Hello @mmartin! Have missed you! @snelvis, I'm not certain. But we are planning on taking 2 20-year-olds in 2 weeks. I don't recall seeing little kids, but thought I remembered someone not a teen.

Helios is not 21 and over! Have been there several times with DD16!!

Love seeing the Hemisphere Dancer as we pass under the bridge! Kind of took it for granted for a while...

Are convention tickets a thing at UOR? My boss' husband & adult son might want to get in to parks for Harry Potter while we're at conference. They won't want the long U.K. ticket as she wants to see wdw once conference is done.

Actually I just checked the program & there's a theme park buyout session 7.30-11.30pm on Sat 2nd May- looks like that'll be Studios so they might be happy just seeing diagon alley.

I'm back! It's been a hot minute about four years I think. This time we'll be bringing my seven month old granddaughter with us. Tell me about baby swap at Epic.. is it in a side room likr IOA/US or is it like Disney where you wait outside?

Can any of you Annual passholdets help me?? Are there any Epic tickets available for April 5, 6 or 9 2026? Were planning to get an AP for upcoming April 4- 9 trip but it wont make sense if we cant get Epic tickets. Called Universal and they wouldnt tel

That is high school spring break week for many northern states, so it will probably be busy!
12:04pm on 3/5/26 by
I checked and there are 3 day tickets available for your dates!
7:24pm on 3/5/26 by
Thank you!

Hi friends, question... if you want to try your luck and see if you can get on the MG float (not pay for the "dine and float" thing), where do you go to ask/try? Any tips? Should we go early in the morning to try? Thanks!

Last I had heard was back by the old Fear Factor stage around 2pm to sign up on the waiting list. I'd love to hear if someone has actually done it though
2:34pm on 3/4/26 by
They meet at the Animal Actors theater so made there? I was on the float last night but was part of the package

Anyone hearing any updates on Stardust Racers?
8:39am on 3/5/26 by
It is on the most recent closure list until March 14th (at least).
6:03pm on 3/5/26 by
Do we know why it's closed? (Sorry if it has been discussed and I missed it.)
5:08am on 3/6/26 by
I saw some posted photos of them seemingly checking the track- on foot.

Regarding the 3 day (Epic, ioa and studios) park to park -can you use it in Epic all 3 days?
4:23pm on 3/2/26 by
Yes. Can move freely between any or all of the parks all 3 days.
7:09pm on 3/2/26 by
I got the 3 park one park per day in January and used it for epic all three days because it was cheaper than AP discounted one day tickets x3 days for Epic.
7:31pm on 3/2/26 by
Thank you!

If we have the universal express unlimited passes, should we still use a touring plan? We will not have one for epic universe though. We will have 4 days for the 3 parks.
3:36pm on 3/3/26 by
We don't use one. But we've been many times so there are not that many "must do's" each trip.
5:48am on 3/4/26 by
Ha @brer! I have the same issue here! With unlimited express, I just make a list of what attractions I want to do, and how many times I want to do each one.
8:33am on 3/4/26 by
I personally wouldn't see the need for a TP with unlimited EP! You're going to have so much fun!

Hello. Planning my first visit to Universal this June 7th and 8th. We are Disney people looking to try something new. How early in advance is it necessary to purchase tickets? We are looking at 1 day epic and 1 day ioa base tickets.
6:12pm on 3/3/26 by
Sorry that should say epic can sell Out but IOA would be fine.
7:37am on 3/4/26 by
Also, they limit the number of express passes and those can sell out.
7:38am on 3/4/26 by
As @Buckeye said, Universal uses dynamic prices. Ticket prices can/will increase. Like Disney, you can also look for discounted tickets. Undercover Tourist, Universal Informer, and Unlocked Magic all sell discounted tickets.
