This might be an Unpopular opinion but three broomsticks was the worst dinning food by far on this vacation. Not sure how they got such a high rating. Food was straight up awful. Would not recommend.

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

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.

Oof... yeah, always a tough call when you've already been waiting. "If I get out of line now, I wasted all that time, and who knows if this line might start moving faster anytime soon..."

We're at 180 minutes and counting. It said 160 for 20 minutes before we got in line and 30 minutes after, so we thought that was solid. We're used to Disney, where you never wait more than the posted time.

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 :)
9:48am on 2/15/26 by
Glad you had a good day after such a tough start. Curious what time you did Ministry?
2:43am on 2/16/26 by
Maybe 90-120 minutes before closing.

I wanted to welcome all of the new liners I've seen lately on the Uni side lately. I also thought it might be helpful to create a common Universal Orlando acronyms thread, so here goes :-)

Sfl!

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!
2:34pm on 2/15/26 by
Expect to have a GREAT time!!! I (dad) did it with my 2 sons last year. I didn't think it would be a big deal (wasn't against it, just not super excited)... but it was REALLY fun!! We didn't do the "dine" part, just the float. :)
2:24pm on 2/16/26 by
Sounds fun!!! Thank you so much!

Anyone know why Fyre Drill is closed today in Epic? Isn't supposed to be open today?

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.

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.
9:50pm on 2/14/26 by
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.
9:53pm on 2/14/26 by
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 :)

Bob's Country Bunker featuring Tucker McElroy.
