Has anyone looked into Private VIP Tours for Epic?

Universal Orlando Resort

Before I wait on hold for hours with Universal and try to recreate the wheel, does anyone know the answers to these questions?

  1. Will Universal do 1 day, 2 park private VIP tours which include Epic and IOA?
  2. Does the private VIP Tour give “skip the line access” at Epic and IOA (as opposed to access to the Express Pass line) for the attractions with Express Pass lines?
  3. Does the private VIP Tour give “skip the line access” to the 3 Epic attractions that do not have Express Pass access and Hagrid’s?
  4. Are multiple rides permitted or only 1 ride per attraction?

What’s the guy, WDW News Today is doing one and he has a video on youtube explaining it but under Universal News Today about VIP/Express. But from watching this and from doing the group tour I can answer 2-4.

  1. no express line, truly skip everything even on the non-private
  2. yes. I can tell you even on the non-private in the old parks we did Hagrids and VelociCoaster which both at the time didn’t have express. They made sure to include these. Even on a non-private you can make requests and if the whole group agrees you’re golden but on a private it’s whatever the heck you want as many times as you want which leads to…
  3. yes on a private it’s unlimited rerides. our guide told us that one group just rode Hagrids 10 times and dude in the video says when your tour is over you still get unlimited express in Epic which is the only way to get that…

I doubt it (for now) because you need valid admission and currently there are no 2-park options except for APs (who can buy a single-day ticket to Epic + use their AP at the other parks). But I don’t think they would offer a tour that you have to have two different tickets for. Maybe they would theoretically let you book two tours in a day. :man_shrugging: Just my wild guess.

I mean they might but it’s an 8 hour tour for Epic alone…so if the other is also 8 hours…but maybe they have shorter ones you can do in the other parks.

That makes sense. Maybe eventually UOR will introduce Disney’s “hopper” concept.

I have one booked for my 40th bday in oct. True front of the line, 3 full meals, 8 hrs. For October 24 it was $5k for 5 ppl plus about $500 per person ftom 6-12, at 13 you need a second guide (tour). I did not ask about hopping and did not ask if the unlimited express pass they give from end of tour to close was 1 park or 3 park. I can ask tho. An agent can price for you over the web fyi so no long hold
