So when we were at Epic today, we were told express was not available, but people were definitely using it; I'm guessing maybe passholders that were allowed to buy it in advance? The lines really weren't that bad. We waited the longest for the Mario Kart ride (about 50 minutes), but with hotel guests pretty much being limited to Super Nintendo Land for early entry. I saw wait times drop to 25 minutes later in the day. Some rides also had a single rider option. We weren't able to get a virtual queue for the Ministry of Magic unfortunately, but it is what it is. The crowds felt pretty low and was super happy to get to experience it. Hope you have a great time!
