Finally got thru cuz I called again. This time 2 hour wait. I just worked all day with minions and jokes about how large Kong is on, seriously every minute, they need a longer loop. But they said this was a known bug, but they can see reservations in the system, and he emailed me confirmation. They also said one letter off on VIP tour was fine so he did not fix that.

@missoverexcited Who has the ability to update the description of this category below? Was just noticing that it is a little outdated and could use a refresh. Maybe mention Epic and omit WWoHP since most people who come here know that now? (Or maybe not - open for discussion 
)

Iām not sure, itās definitely not me 
Iād email webmaster@touringplans.com and make the suggestion.
Or maybe @len can look at it.

I agree @len controls categories. I would guess David too?
I believe we asked Len when we wanted to add DVC.

That makes sense. During VIP tour escorted to the front of the line, and after the tour wait in the EP line.

Done! Thank you all!
Been traveling a lot this week. Sorry for the radio silence.

Yes exactly. Itās much better and cheaper than Disneys VIP and Iāve done both. At Disney it is the LL unless that ride doesnāt offer LL so it works well for Disneyland with Peter Pan for example.

So Iām trying to squeeze a couple/few days of UOR into my October trip. I was thinking 1 day Park-to-Park USF and IOA and then 1 day Epic. I would be buying Express Pass for the time Iām there. Sorry, Iām impatient 
This was my DD like 10 years ago at Kingās Island:
We wouldnāt be doing any of the ākiddieā rides. Is 2 days going to be enough time? My DW and I have been to UOR before, but our DD hasnāt.

We did the highlights of IOA and USF in one day last November (with Express) so I think you could make that work. Note that Epic does not offer Unlimited Express (only 1 ride per attraction) and that 3 rides are excluded from Express. Iād think with Express you could get a lot done at Epic in one day, but until we see the wait times, it is hard to say whether you could get to everything in Epic in 1 day with Express. If Ministry has a 3-4 hour wait time and is a must-do for you, then things could get challenging depending on what else you wanted to do.

Yeah, I think thatās going to be a possible snag. A lot of it is working the timing.
My family is considering 1 day in Epic (with Express) during our fall WDW trip. If we go that route, we will likely plan on skipping Ministry and getting in line for the Kong coaster right before closing if the line is less than 90 minutes.

If you stay on site and use Early Park Admission youāll be able to work Epic a little better as DK is available. One day w/ Express at USF/IOA is doable but youāll have to make some hard choices. Have fun!

This is everything I was going to say summed up perfectlyā¦
I think it applies to Epic as well! Even with UXP itās going to be a lot to do and see!
Like with all these kind of āside questsā from your main park if you make a plan and temper expectations youāll be alright!

Iām doing this for IOA and USF and with express I can fit everything I want plus a nighttime reride on velicoaster and Hagrids by using early entry too. Can you book one night b/w those two days at a universal hotel to get the early entry? This is also how Iām planning my reride for my 2nd day in epic on HP. The first day I bought vip but second day Iām gonna early rope drop HPBatM. Iām gonna try to jump in Kong right at close that night.
If single rider is an option for you, it might solve the problem.
Probably not. But we can do without the kiddie rides and the motion simulators. Just that there will be no young children, and we think the Uni motion sims arenāt that good
Agree! So sick of simulators and the more I ride in a day the more Iām sick of them. Hereās my plan:
I havenāt seen the Dreamworks Land so thatās why that is on there but Iām telling the teen and 20s if they want to do Bourne or Monster Make Up or Simpsons or Transformers, etc. thatās their time to do that.
Hereās my tentative Epic plans for my day with Express:
Epic Universe Day with Express Pass (Iām staying at Helios so thinking I can beat front of line crowds to Harry Potter ride and be done in an hour)
8AM early entry Harry Potter and the Ministry of Magic and 9am breakfast at Cafe Lāair De La Sirene (try to book in late May/early June as itās not available over the phone yet, only as part of the HP package)
Then wands you didnāt hit yesterday and/or the show (with express) if you didnāt see it yesterday
Re-ride Starfall Racers with Express pass
Then re-rides of express pass attractions and see show in Dragonland if you didnāt see it yesterday
Book, when possible, lunch at Atlantic at 2pm
Then Nintendo world re-rides of express attractions and wristband interactive experiences
End in Monsters Land with Express rerides including afterdark Wolfman coaster and mobile order dinner at Das Steakhouse
Reride any rollercoasters you didnāt yesterday after dark and hop in line at close for Kong or try wand effects at night

Flight of Passage in Animal Kingdom is a great motion sim. I went into Race for New York and Transformers and we were both like āoh no more of these, please!ā Though Gringottās was done well!

Agree with all that and Simpsons is the absolute worst
Notice no Transformers on my plan but I can ride Spidey.
