Where can I buy the interactive Mario bands in Epic and outside of? Do they link to the app or how do they work?

I finally found them in the Super Nintendo World store in City Walk. Even better, I found Butterbeer in the connected Harry Potter section (with no wait).

Sorry I'm in the final run down loads of questions phase. I've managed to email Helios & get a response to requesting rooms close together. Anyone have email for PBH or SN? Trying to avoid phoning!
1:20pm on 4/19/26 by
This is the email I have for PBH. It took about a day for them to answer my question. portofinocustomerservice@loewshotels.com

Thanks I'll give that a try
6:16pm on 4/19/26 by
Got a reply back quickly- thank you!

Are there any reservations I need to to get like at Disney world? Also first time universal visitor I am going to epic universe. Any suggestions??
10:47am on 4/15/26 by
We did really like bar Helios. Pricey but super cool. Now there is also a $25 deposit to make reservation. If don't cancel early enough u lose the money.
10:02pm on 4/19/26 by
We went to both Flora Taverna (lunch) and BarHelios (dinner). Both are expensive. We will return to Flora Taverna. Funny, at both restaurants we waited over 30 minutes after ordering before we even got drinks,

Bar Helios was kinda weird. We often go to tapas restaurants. This was the first time we received the cold items last. Not complaining about that- just unusual.
11:13am by
Anyone familiar with the dining plan? Seems like a huge value compared to WDW. Thoughts?
12:20pm on 4/19/26 by
* I would check
7:00am by
Google says butterbeer is included! I'd see if u can find a list of items since not all menu items it says are allowed and see if the ones offered are ones u want.
7:05am by
I'd also see if u can find a menu with butterbeer in it posted somewhere showing it is included if it's a must have.

I see I can add photos into UOR app ahead of time for park entry. Think I can work out how to link tickets. What I can't work out is how to add names to my party- it's list my sons who aren't coming, need to add on in-laws
11:18am on 4/19/26 by
So you had photos taken at the park gate? It looked like you cld add photos in before but if it's as easy to do once there we can wait.
6:23pm on 4/19/26 by
You look into a camera whenever you scan into a park now. I'd just wait and do it as you scan the first time. I don't remember it adding any extra time the first time they recorded our photos.
6:33pm on 4/19/26 by
Correct. I didn't even know you could add photos yourself. It's very easy at the park and the scan usually works (worked entire trip for us) but I send my DH a screenshot of his ticket QR code just in case I'm not with him one day (he doesn't use the app)

Booked thanksgiving at royal pacific. Did the math no savings if include express passes.
6:32pm on 4/19/26 by
For the UOR photopass-is there a place at Epic to activate it? Website only lists the OG parks & we'll be Epic only the 1st few days.
11:33am on 4/18/26 by
We're aiming in to pop into the park on arrival afternoon from SN so hopefully can get this set up then rather than when we're wanting take advantage of RD next morning
11:17am on 4/19/26 by
If you are enteric from Helios, there is also a concierge booth at the bottom of the stairs as you enter.
11:38am on 4/19/26 by
That might depend how early it all is- transferring over from SN to dump bags & get in line for Helios entry- tho I think it's a 9am EE time for 10am open that day now so not as early as I expected.

Hi, is there a Magic Band equivalent for Universal? Also, if I buy a lanyard before arrival, what size would I need?
4:03pm on 4/16/26 by
Not a fan of the lanyards with the removable clip. The extra length gets annoying after a while. I also like profile vs landscape pouches.
4:29pm on 4/17/26 by
Located ours this evening. Mine is a ravenclaw one w a removable clip- and has a knot in it to get rid of the extra length
5:17pm on 4/18/26 by
Fun to get a souvenir lanyard but pouches there stink. Used to be good but now they are pricey and bulky and have print on one side so u can't put your AP pass facing out and room key facing out at same time. I second buying that elsewhere.

Hello! I have a question about Csbsna Bay rooms. We have booked one family suite exterior entry and one standard room - are they likely to be near each other or do those two room types not exist in the same building? Thanks, any help appreciated.
4:14am on 4/17/26 by
Not sure but if you call the front desk they can tell u if no one here knows.
