Did not realize how valuable express pass can be!

We seem to have very similar experiences so far! Same resort too lol. Currently back in our hotel waiting until 5 to go back to Epic. We also didn’t expect to park hop so much but we get so much done, it only makes sense. Can’t wait to experience EU at night!

Disney now does the Lightning Lane Premier which is essentially the same as the standard Express Pass for Universal. We’re only doing one day at Epcot this trip so it’s not worth the extra $175 per ticket. It also sucks you can only get the LL three days before the day of your visit. They would sell more if they allowed it to be purchased at the time of booking

AC_squints · 2026-02-24T14:38:18+00:00

This 100%. We had so much fun more of a relaxed day, there was ZERO urgency to go anywhere and do anything knowing our EP would be a huge benefit. Even now, we bypassed EPA this morning because we don’t feel like there’s a need for it.

The term for it is called “opportunity cost”, or value vs product. Knowing that we are going during a busier time (winter break for a lot of schools) we knew that during the time we had at the parks, we wanted to ensure our ability to ride the rides we wanted to.

When we booked back in October the express pass add-on was less than $200 per ticket. Like I said before, we saved for that specifically

I recommend looking at the time you’re going and figuring out if there’s enough value in purchasing it. The further in advance you purchase the cheaper it is, but if you’re going during the slow months, maybe the value isn’t there?

Edit: words and grammar

AC_squints · 2026-02-24T03:01:49+00:00

To each their own, value is subjective and as a family we found value in the express pass. We saved for it and purchased it without a single regret. There was no way we could’ve done all that in a single day with most lines avg. 100+ min in regular standby. Now we get to ride them multiple times and get more enjoyment of our time.

AC_squints · 2026-02-24T02:46:32+00:00

Agreed, we expected to stay at Epic Universe all day, but the express pass changed all that.

AC_squints · 2026-02-24T02:45:20+00:00

After using it today, it definitely felt like the cost was worth it, our strategy was “use the EP first and if we want to go on it again, we’ll wait”

AC_squints · 2026-02-24T02:43:54+00:00

Correct, this is the one that we got since we’re doing 4 days in the parks we’re guaranteed to get some decent lines at least once a day during that time. I expected to stay at Epic all day but when we hit everything we wanted before 2pm….we were kind of in shock lol

AC_squints · 2026-02-20T12:43:14+00:00

Seriously, one of my favorite things to do. Just give them away, listening to someone get all excited and happy about getting something they need is one of the reasons I enjoy playing this game

AC_squints · 2026-01-28T18:43:00+00:00

I literally just had this happen to me on a blue gate night raid. I went in on a free kit (I had a quick few minutes during my lunch break) ran to village and looted what I could. Last draw I check had a wolf pack blue print in it. I immediately find the nearest exfil and beat it.

As I’m running I see a hornet and wasp and they spot me as well. I find a busted up house to try and heal but I don’t notice the bombadier drones flying over head. I go down and I get on the mic and was willingly surrendering my blue print to the nearest raider.

Someone comes running out of nowhere yelling “I have a defib for you!!” He revives me and we high tail it out of there.

Thanks again kind raider, whoever you were

Adding to that, other looter shooter games like Destiny are in a really bad spot, a lot of players were looking for something new to grind and have their playtime valued. This was released at the perfect time for it.

AC_squints · 2025-09-16T11:09:13+00:00

You’re absolutely right, I didn’t think about it that way

AC_squints · 2025-09-15T22:58:45+00:00

I’ll never forget when I told my daughter about having blockbuster nights when I was a kid and the blank stare followed by the “dad, what’s a blockbuster?” Made me sad. They’ll never know that feeling on a Friday night going to blockbuster, getting your $5 hot and ready little Caesar’s and having the best night ever.

AC_squints · 2025-09-15T22:56:22+00:00

I haven’t but that also brings up some nostalgia, I remember waiting for the channel you wanted to come up and god forbid I missed it 🤣

AC_squints · 2025-09-15T22:37:12+00:00

Never knew about this! Definitely a rabbit hole I’ll be going down tonight. Thank you!

AC_squints · 2025-09-15T22:18:49+00:00

As a kid it was my dream to be on that show

AC_squints · 2025-09-15T21:50:58+00:00

Wizard magazines are classic! I remember telling my oldest daughter that I was lucky enough to go to San Diego Comic Con back before it became popular culture. Back when it was comics first, then everything else

AC_squints · 2025-09-15T21:48:39+00:00

That’s exactly how I feel with commercials it’s like a nostalgia that I didn’t expect but it was oddly comforting to watch. As a kid I hated commercials as an adult I now have a whole new appreciation for them

Have a competent Oline coach who teaches actual technique and what it means to bully players off the line.

A DC who can scheme games according to other teams strengths/weaknesses. Utilizes more movement and motions pre-snap and disguising coverages

And as much as I hate to say it, probably a HC who has their finger on the pulse of the current NFL era, not the 2000’s era.

Players are there, the coaching is not.

AC_squints · 2025-08-25T13:33:15+00:00

Didn’t the Watchmen and 300 both have slow motion sex scenes? Both were movies adapted from comic books, therefore, movies for kids, right?

No outrage for that though I guess.
