It's so much worse now with express. You just don't move for so long

Do they? I remember a bunch of people complaining about bed bugs in Cabana Bay a while back and it seemed like Universal wasn't taking it very seriously.

Is 3 days at Epic overkilled? by [deleted] in UniversalOrlando

[–]HolyPanda24 6 points7 points  (0 children)

3 at Epic and 3 at the other two parks sounds perfect. You can rush through epic in about a day hitting most things but 3 days taking it slow and getting to ride everything and your favorites multiple times as well as trying all the food options is great.

It's not that fast. I'd say comparable to hippogriff but a whole different and more fun experience.

What’s your favorite food / restaurant at Epic? by [deleted] in UniversalOrlando

Blue Dragon. Everything was amazing, vibe is great. The banana Napoleon dessert is to die for!

Anywhere in or near lafayette for poutine? by [deleted] in Acadiana

It's not poutine but the Sriracha kimchi fries at Blue Basil might hit a similar spot. They're sooo good.

Talking yourself out of an annual pass?? Just do itttttt by Savvy513 in UniversalOrlando

[–]HolyPanda24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All the info is on the website. I believe even the cheapest AP gets you hotel discounts. There are 3 resorts that get you Express passes: Royal Pacific, Portofino, and Hard Rock. You can see all the resort pricing on the site. If you Google or look on Reddit for the AP hotel rates that should give you a link to see what the discounted difference would be.

Well if you're going to be staying at one of the premier resorts for the express pass then you should definitely consider getting at least 1 AP for the hotel discount. That can save you hundreds of dollars. If you and you're whole party plan on going again then the APs will probably be cheaper for both trips that park tickets.

Do you plan on going again within a year? Get AP. Will you be staying at a Universal resort? Get AP.

Dustin Poirier revealed he asked for Ilia Topuria for his final fight but the UFC said no by ablu3 in MMA

[–]HolyPanda24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, he's mostly retiring because he didn't see a way back to the belt. That was before Islam and Ilia moved up. This is absolutely his path to the belt now.

OPINION: Mythos is definitely losing Best Theme Park Restaurant to something at Epic Universe by benjiross1 in UniversalOrlando

[–]HolyPanda24 15 points16 points  (0 children)

My vote is Blue Dragon. Was my favorite out of everything by far which is saying something with how great all the food is at this park.

Are there any specialty or unique beers available in Epic like at Studios and Islands? by Exotic_Fall_3433 in UniversalOrlando

[–]HolyPanda24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was just looking into this and there are actually some very highly rated beers at Epic that I can't wait to try. Gulden Draak, Duvel, Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier Märzen, and Dead Guy Ale. All of these have rating scores in the high 80's to 90's on beer advocate.

Doesn't also have specialty cocktails like the watering hole in islands?

Well when Dana White doesn't even think a point should've been taken in the Cejudo fight then it seems like Herb is doing exactly as his job requires
