Tuesday update, appears Universal has reopened Kang & Kodos for the full week now, previously the ride was running on weekends only.
Additionally, Barney has now been removed from the closures list, removed from the website, and is now permanently closed.

This is happy news.
I have a weird love for that ride. It isnāt that Iāll go out of my way to ride it, but if Iām walking by Iāll pop in. The theming is just too cute. I also have happy memories in that we got āstuckā there on our second ride and we got express passes.

Without Virtual Lines? How would that work? VB isnāt setup for a ton of people in lines even with normal spacing.
Itās a rumor based on hiring and is unconfirmed.

I hope they keep them extended after Spring Break (when weāll be there)
Not that we ever stayed past dinner. But, seems like it would spread the crowd around a bit.

I think they will, UOR seems to be in the āfull steam aheadā mentality.

Iām struggling to interpret UORās calendar. It doesnāt seem to specify what is regular open and what is early admission. Are the times posted by TP usually accurate?
UOR uses a different page for EPA, separate from the park hours page. They are not showing any EPA schedule for March yet. Here is the EPA page:
I also looked at the TP projected hours on the crowd calendar because I got an email that said UOR was dropping EPA for IOA for March. But their hours look very crazy, donāt know whatās up with TP.

So are the hours on their calendar the regular hours that donāt include early admission ?
Thanks for taking time out from you trip report to answer my questions! 
Correct.
Been taking it easy tonight. Iām exhausted!

I was on the website. Iāll check out the app though too. We are planning on going in April so we have a ways to go. Thanks!

It is actually much easier to understand on the app!
Looks like they have up to March 14th posted on the app.
March 13, Saturday, has both parks opening at 8am and both with EA. That is in the middle of the Spring Break season, and weāll be going in April after it.
But, since hopping is so easy, and fun. Iāll just have a EA plan for each park and not worry about the rest. DH and DD are both late risers by nature, but thankfully they happily get up early on vacation.
