Here’s the official “trailer” they just released
It does have Donkey Kong previews for something new!
That looks so awesome. Gotta admit I wasn’t that hyped on seeing it compared to the other lands- because of our visit to Hollywood. But that just puts it right back at priority 1 for my family.
Hoping that they will have a similar add-on for early entry.
Anyone else thinking this is gonna require one full day per land….
Is that a rainbow tunnel I see 
Disney gave theirs up, so I am glad someone took it back. 
This looks so awesome.
@noreen99 but me down for no more than two lands per day.
Yep! SNL looks pretty cool and interactive. I know I’m going to give them my money for the band to play the games!!
lol 2025 spent most of my day yesterday plotting my best options for an early December 2025 trip. Definitely gonna need a week for Epic on its own.
Although we have a Stella nova reservation - I think it will be too early on for any previews. I have narrowed resorts down to 2 for us.
This sounds Epic! 
The day the Helios Grand goes on sale I am booking for New Years Eve 2025. I will probably ultimately not be able to afford it and will cancel, but we have a tentative Christmas 2025 trip to Orlando and there is no way we won’t go to Epic Universe. I figure Helios will be the only way to get Express Pass.
You may be right…but I’m REALLY hoping they don’t do Express Pass in Epic Universe for quite a while.
No Helios for us for 2025…DS is getting married in April ( destination wedding San Antonio) I have no vacation budget wiggle room for the foreseeable future.
That is why I will make a reservation at one of the mods too. No view is worth that money!
My DS is October 2025.
But an express pass might be …
100%!!!
I recently returned from a trip to Efteling in the Netherlands. It’s a great park. And there is no priority access of any kind for anyone. Now, it was low season so lines weren’t long for the most part. But the lines moved. Constantly and quite fast.
tl;dr Ryan might be right
You are the first person here to put those words in that particular order.
Epic Universe is going to be … well epic. I’ve been following the updates on YouTube and it all looks amazing. I was even inspired to watch How To Train Your Dragon, which I’ve never seen, so that I’m prepared.
But: question — when to go? Will it be hell for the first year? Should I plan to go in 2026? There are various anniversaries for the gaggle and me that might justify a trip?
It’s looking like there will be enough to see and do to even justify an Epic Universe-only trip: no WDW and no UOR.
I doubt I will be able to afford anything other than the two budget resorts, but they look really cool. I liked one more than the other, but I can’t remember which one. How is the pricing / availability? I see some people have already booked, which has me in a panic. I have a few time slots in 2025 in mind if going in the opening year isn’t crazy.
But then remember what a disaster area VB was when it first opened. Or the endless Hagrid downtime during its first year.
These are strange times in which we live.
I think what we have discovered as an uncomfortable truth is that lines are long and move slowly because more and more people are given priority due to disabilities. I think it’s great that this exists, but removing LL or EP won’t change this dynamic. One of the most frustratingly slow lines I’ve ever waited in was Snow White at Disneyland, which doesn’t have a LL. The delays are solely due to the mobility access line and the extra time needed to load people who have to transfer from an ECV or wheelchair.
So how do you solve that? It looks like Disney is trying to reduce abuse. But what about people who legitimately need priority access? Not clear to me that it’s even possible to solve for most rides. You need something like the Skyliner where there is a separate loading area for those who need more time.
My understanding is Helios will NOT offer complimentary Express Pass but the park will have Express for many rides at open. I do not think they’ve decided on which attractions will have Express or not yet.
