Seth Kubersky reports that the bookstore that was closed in Seuss Landing will become a Meet and Greet location.

I always liked that the Seuss collection was available for purchase, but I rarely saw anyone in it.
I wonder if this M&G will replace the âOh the Stories Youâll Hearâ show that runs next to it?? 
Those 7 day ticket prices are a good deal if you can only do a single trip in a year.
It feels like another way for UOR to discourage out of town travelers to not buy an Annual Pass since Epic isnât available with oneâŚ.

Reminder for anyone going to the parks. For a simple view of wait times, showtimes/schedule, & attraction status, use Joelâs Times Guide. It will also save your battery.

And here I am with an Annual Pass and paid almost as much on Epic tickets for my trip as I would have if I had just gotten a 3-park pass for those days.

Me too. I hope I feel like I donât have to go back to Epic for a long time after this trip.

Oh thatâs sad.
Iâve bought a few books from there over the years.

And THIS is why Universal isnât adding it to their passes yet. They thank you for the additional money.

This is interesting, from Blog Mickey: Epic Universe Survey Suggests 2-Year or 4-Year Locked-In Annual Passes, Required Park Reservations, and More
I got this survey today, too, but after answering a question about my passholder status, it said something like, âThanks, but we already have enough responses from people like you.â
Iâm not surprised to see them ask about park reservations. It just seems like the park would be flooded with passholders for the foreseeable future without them. Which is why Iâll be waiting until well after they add Epic to the AP before I consider buying one again, just so I can see how whatever scheme they end up going with shakes out before making a 4-year commitment, like a college athlete in the days of old.

I saw that blog post last night. I think Universal sent out a lot of surveys. I too received it. One of the first questions was âhow long have you had your current passâ . I answered more than 3 years but less than 4. I did not have any questions about a multi-year pass. An additional screening question was if I had been to Epic in the last year. They proposed AP add ons:
The 10 and 5 day were the same. The 3 day was different:
They then threw out a few other ideas:

I did send those screen shots to Len last night. I did add some comments to my survey. Every option asked about how much above the 2 day preferred pass of $530 I would pay. I have renewed my 2 day power pass for $406 the last couple of years, I told them that. I also told them how I felt about a âdiscountedâ ticket that is more than 1/3 the cost of my full year pass.

When I have an AP I, typically, go approximately 12 -15 days over 3 trips. I would consider a 10 day pass if it was discounted and it included Epic.
I donât want the âdouble the priceâ option. Once they set a price it rarely gets lowered later. I donât want the initial price point to be that high to start.

So I realized I got this survey also and when I went in the options that it gave me were adding 5 days at Epic over a 3 month period, adding Epic to my AP if I locked it in for 3 years (but have to make reservations) or adding Epic to my AP for 1 year but having to make reservations utilizing a multi-step process that could be more cumbersome (I canât remember the exact wording, but it was definitely clear that there would be some hurdles). Iâd certainly rather just adding Epic to the AP since I noted that having to use days within a 3 month period meant that for me as a visitor versus a local I likely wouldnât actually use them all. But my concern with a âmultistepâ reservation process is that it would likely fail, have tech issues, etc. and that would frustrate me a lot so⌠will be curious what they end up doing.
I am wondering if theyâre thinking of adding something soon as I can only see discounted Epic tickets for APs through April⌠is that what others are seeing? Or is that some sort of tech issue on my part?

For me, being âlocked in" to a 3 year AP wouldnât bother me if it included at least 10 visits to Epic each year. Iâd prefer more visits but thatâs my minimum

Just an update on the bridge situation at Islands of Adventure.
The Hogsmeade to Jurassic Park bridge is closed for renovation. (This is the bridge with the great photo spot of Hogwarts Castle).
Signage directs you to use the Jurassic Park/Lost Continent bypass bridge (at VelociCoaster) as a detour.
But there is a small hidden trail that runs past the Forbidden Journey lockers into Jurassic Park. Will save you time if youâre in the parks!
