Headed back early December to do the Christmas party at MK, plus HS & Epic Universe. My kids are 19 and 18 so thought we were done with the area but we are meeting my sisters family and tagging along. Anyone have recent experiences or tips of any kind?
		
		
	 
I did MK, HS, and the 3 Universal Parks and the end of August. My kids are elementary school age so a bit of a different trip.
Epic is visually super-appealing. They did an amazing job with the design of it. We spent a LOT of time in the Nintendo / Mario world.
Epic is crazy busy. Lines are long. If you have FBG money, express passes would be worth it. We didn't have them.
Lines went wayyyyy down after like 7pm or so. We did the Mario Kart ride at rope drop and waited almost 90 minutes (it did have delays twice). We then "walked on it" at like 8:30pm. We went back to our hotel from like 2pm to 6pm to rest and recharge. I would highly recommend being there until close to maximize your rides. Either come later in the day, or take a few hour break in the afternoon.
