We have universal attraction assistance pass how can we include that info as we are planning our day at epic?

9:45pm on 4/1/26 by pbjbylund

I think treat it as if you had express pass? Welcome btw!

8:55am on 4/3/26 by brerbeer

Not exactly because you have to book it and then like if it's an hour wait your return time is an hour away so you can try to do something else in the meantime and then ride it and then couple minutes after you get off the ride it'll let you book your nex

If Forbidden Journey makes one ill, is Battle of the Ministry off the table?

11:57am on 3/27/26 by cpowers

collapse thread

Ok with Hagrids and Velisicoaster, but Forbidden does me in!

12:00pm on 3/27/26 by cpowers

Felt less sick with Ministry than Forbidden Journey. Can just barely do sim rides. Thankfully the ride is over before bad things happen. Monsters Unchained is the best & least queasy for me.

4:24pm on 3/27/26 by urbyq

I'm hoping to get dmil/fil on Battle. They can do SpiderMan - once- prob won't do FJ again. Def not big coasters but we'll make them try hagrids...

5:13pm on 3/27/26 by hodg

And how is monsters unchained on the same scale?

5:28pm on 3/27/26 by hodg

FJ is by far the worst for motion sickness of the HP rides IMO. Ministry is not as bad but I had to shut my eyes for some bc of the moving elevator zooming around on the screen. It definitely can make a person sick. Monsters was less so. For me it is way

9:31pm on 3/27/26 by Buckeye86

Better for motion. The difference is that while arm/car you ride in is very similar, Monsters does not have a bunch of virtual screens. It's mostly "real" things to look at so u don't get that VR motion which does me in. I'd take monsters over the other

9:33pm on 3/27/26 by Buckeye86

2 any day for motion.

9:33pm on 3/27/26 by Buckeye86

Maybe we shld save MoM for day 2 so dfil doesn't reduce to ride it. Not that he ever opens his eyes on these things.

9:33am on 3/28/26 by hodg

Refuse

9:33am on 3/28/26 by hodg

Even if u don't find it you can walk a good portion of the queue. You miss a bit of it but it is worth seeing what you can and there hasn't been a wait to just walk it. The queue is better than the ride IMO.

8:37am on 3/31/26 by Buckeye86

For some rides I just wait with my family and bail when it's time to board. You could do that as well sometime ride and some don't but everyone is together and sees the whole thing.

8:38am on 3/31/26 by Buckeye86

*Some ride and some don't

8:38am on 3/31/26 by Buckeye86

I cannot do FJ, with or without motion sickness meds. I had a touch of the queasiness on MoM. No queasiness on MU at all. I can ride everything else in all parks with motion sickness meds.

5:11am on 4/1/26 by ladyortramp

My husband rode MOM no problem cannot ride FJ

10:49am on 4/5/26 by cpowers

No, I actually just rode ministry for the first time because my son forced me to and I thought for sure it was gonna make me sick and it did not and it was amazing

12:14pm by married2grumpy

Forbidden journey, I had to keep my eyes closed the whole time and practice in through my nose out through my mouth, and it still made me sick

UOQOTD: what UO rides have you done IN THE RAIN!? How was it!? (inspired by @cpowers' post about EPIC/Rain!)

When we were there in rain EVERYTHING closed even the carousel.

6:01am by Buckeye86

Stardust, Hagrids. I'm baffled as to why they would build a ride that goes down in 1 drop of rain. Minecart has been impossible to get on. Day 6 at the resort. We'll see....

Also in Epic the 2 rides in Berk went with drizzle.

how do we get on a float for the parade ?

No boost i'm pretty limber. I think I can get up there myself.

11:32am on 3/28/26 by snelvis

Suit yourself. My boosts are very highly regarded in my hometown.

3:49pm on 3/28/26 by Fatty McButterpants

Update: boosts are out of commission for 2-4 weeks. Gave my neighbor an overly enthusiastic boost at Chipotle so he could get a better view of his burrito being made, and threw out my back again.

...spent rest of night just casually strolling around in the rain. With ponchos we were still soaked and at this point it didn't matter. Shoes/socks filled with water. It was a sticky drive home but worth it, of course. :)

Sounds like a fun time! Except for the rain I guess :)

You find of breezed right past the whopper part...

3:53pm on 4/7/26 by brerbeer

Yea tell more about the whopper. We have never been. I know they call it a whopper bar but really don't know what that is. Thanks

@sneezy the rain was intense but we still had fun! Rainy days at UO are better than sunny days at work! :) LOL!

@brer @clyde THE WHOPPERS WERE AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't know what it is (and I know I've mentioned it here a lot) but the Whoppers at Whopper Bar in CW are 100x better than the Whoppers/BK anywhere else.

10:36am on 4/8/26 by browndalmatian

I asked the TMs about it and have heard "well they... wait, you know what, you're right! They're better here than the ones by my house too!" LOL

10:36am on 4/8/26 by browndalmatian

We also have not had a lot of luck with ET saying the name we give it. It will say friend or random names likely from another group out of sync.

Hi! We're staying on property at Universal and want to get a steak one night for dinner. Which place has the best steak?

BigFire always smells good but have never had a steak there. If you go make sure to get the table side s'mores

9:48am on 4/3/26 by clyde4242

I have had the steak at Big Fire. I am trying to think of someplace else to recommend.

11:58am on 4/3/26 by PrincipalTinker

How about The Kitchen at Hard Rock?

12:01pm on 4/3/26 by PrincipalTinker

I really want to give BF another shot but after the third trip it was a vastly different than the first visit. When it opened (2019?) it was one of the best values on property if not both WDW and UOR. Still smells good though!

3:13pm on 4/3/26 by brerbeer

We finally tried the Palm our last visit and found it to be one of our all time favorite meals. It's at the Hard Rock hotel.

6:10pm on 4/3/26 by Buckeye86

Thank you for the suggestions !

8:03pm on 4/3/26 by ahlott86

The steak at Bice was excellent -according to my DSs- but be prepared for very high prices (DH & me picked cheaper options)

1:58am on 4/4/26 by hodg

@PT: "I have had the steak at Big Fire. Trying to think of someplace else to recommend." LOL! SAME. We are a big steak-eating family and Big Fire was not worth the money. :( (tableside s'mores ARE fun though!)

7:53am on 4/5/26 by browndalmatian

Also as PT mentioned, The Kitchen has a decent steak, that would probably be my suggestion. You could go get a Tomahawk at The Palm too. :) I have not been there though, so not sure how good it is.

7:54am on 4/5/26 by browndalmatian

I had the Ribeye at Hard Rock Cafe once and it was good. It's kind of hit or miss though. Great atmosphere and fun place though imo.

7:55am on 4/5/26 by browndalmatian

We had the steak at Mythos and it was pretty impressive.

12:59pm on 4/7/26 by AANGE2

Hi @aange2 I don't think I've tried their steak. I LOVE Mythos but the last 2 times we went it left a lot to be desired. :( So, you've given me a good reason to try them again! (Been wanting to!) Thanks!

10:44am on 4/8/26 by browndalmatian

@Brown, if you go, can you post back here and tell us how it was. Mythos used to be a family favorite but that was back in 2022. We haven't been back since we're going this summer.

Agreed, Mythos has been going the wrong direction for several years now

12:27pm on 4/8/26 by clyde4242

@mmmartin sure. When is your trip? I'll try to go before then! I'll get the steak but any other requests or suggestions?

7:03pm on 4/8/26 by browndalmatian

Mythos was always our favorite and we made a point to eat their every trip but the food was not good at all the last time we went. Such a disappointment.

6:00am by Buckeye86

Thoughts and or any tips for Aventura? Got a really good passholder rate for early Sept and decided to try something new. Probably just HHN.

We just purchased our annual passes online (paid in full) for a trip in July. Is it correct that I cannot get a discounted epic ticket until they are activated?

Oh I meant we had APs but wanted Epic. I bought three 1 day AP discounted tix to epic but then realized I could save about $50-75 to switch to a 3 park 1 park per day ticket instead :) they let me do that!

6:46pm on 4/1/26 by sneezy93

Ours was a 3 day ticket so if the 3 park ticket was cheaper for your dates you would be able to purchase that now and it can be used for Epic every day.

6:49pm on 4/1/26 by sneezy93

Does any one have info about how much the discount is on 1 day tickets?

Friend of mine (software developer) asked me if I had "any cool app ideas," and "you love Universal, what kind of cool app could I make, what to Universal visitors/fans need/like?" I didn't have any answers but told him I'd ask here. :)

Attraction/Movie specific games to play in line for that attraction. It could be heads up style, or some kind of trivia game. They could be tied to the attraction or to the movie/show the attraction is based on. Bonus for several options per attraction.

10:27am on 4/5/26 by TenMileMom

I think most liners that are also WDW fans love BG1 if for no other reason that it is do much easier to read than MDE. Joel has this web based link for Uni https://joelface.com/uo/ I would love a similar app!

12:28pm on 4/5/26 by PrincipalTinker

Thank you @10MM, that's a cool idea! I'll tell him! I think this would be doable but he would have to look into copyright stuff. I mean, can he just have ET, HP, etc. on there? I don't know much about that stuff. Thanks again!

9:20am on 4/6/26 by browndalmatian

@PT thanks! I have never heard of this app. It just looks like a "Time Guide," right? If so I just use TP for that. LOL! But this interface is really, really pretty and simple too. What else does "BG1" do? Thanks! Really cool!

9:22am on 4/6/26 by browndalmatian

BG1? Not an app, a bookmarklet- so a webpage that accessed MDE more efficiently. It's primary function is booking boarding groups when needed- it's hard not to get group 1 using it, hence the name. Now it allows easier LL modification & getting drops

10:46am on 4/6/26 by hodg

BG1 (when Disney's new security does not block it) allows wdw guests to book and modify lightning lanes (after purchase) in a user friendly platform that shows all plans in one place. For US, I will look at TP but Joel's show it all in one place.

@PT when you say "I would love a similar app" are you referring to how BG1 has everything all in one place for their UO website?

I would love it if someone could expand on the UO but with maybe more features? There is at least one person currently trying to offer a UO planning app (with fees). Posted on the forum: https://rideready.app/ I don't know what the fees are for.

3:01pm on 4/7/26 by PrincipalTinker

Hi PT, thanks! This sounds kind of like TP, but that RR app is talking about "AI Features." I'm interested in this app now, just out of curiosity (I don't use TP or any app for this stuff personally, I prefer to wing it lol)...

10:41am on 4/8/26 by browndalmatian

I am not sure what RR fees are for either. They have a decent landing page there, I'll have to read through it. Thanks again!
