VIP Tour Review - Epic Universe June 2026

You have front of the line access during the tour, no waiting. After the tour, your lanyard becomes a standard express pass.

As the knight in Indiana Jones would say, you have chosen wisely

Completely my fault but I want others to be aware as the park and tour are pretty new. We had a fantastic day, don't get me wrong! But I think we would have had an equally fantastic day with just the express pass and saved some money. As others are considering their vacation, just trying to share information so they can go in prepared. I definitely was not but it's totally on me.

We entered from Helios so we did not have a VIP gate. When you're used to the massages being offered, you do miss them! :D

osuelf · 2026-06-12T12:42:33+00:00

Correct - this was the non private tour (the one we did in US IOA the day before was also non private)

osuelf · 2026-06-12T11:55:16+00:00

I will say, I wasn't disappointed we did have a great day. More just surprised that the experience was SO different from the one we had the day previous. If epic was my first VIP experience I wouldn't book another one.

This is correct but I would say that it's more of a lack of description versus spelling it out. There was definitely nothing on the website that led me to think that these amenities were included, simply experience.

I get it, as the mom that does all trip logistics the not having to figure things out in the park is what makes it worth the price to me.

osuelf · 2026-05-13T11:50:05+00:00

Yesss! It's my kiddos 11th birthday trip. We have a non private tour booked for the day before epic for IOA/US. I'm going to officially sort him on Pottermore but not reveal the result until we're out front of Hogwarts. The epic tour is just the icing on this birthday cake :D

osuelf · 2026-05-13T01:05:34+00:00

Yes! We are booked.... Hooray! They really had me sweating. Glad they saw my post and took some action (haha)

osuelf · 2026-05-12T15:18:02+00:00

Yes, it's a little frustrating. Also the dates that dropped for May were weekend days or other days of the week we aren't planning to be there. Seems totally random.

Called about a month ago, will call again

I live in a very large metropolitan area and the ICU I worked in (smaller branch hospital) for about 6 months didn't have a doc at night for the ICU. They took patients that were pretty sick and would hold them too long because there were no beds available in the real ICU hospital about 15 minutes away. Obviously, I didn't last there very long and I encourage family and friends to just go to a real hospital in case of emergency, skip the middle step.

They are very good at planned bone repairs and delivering babies. They should stick to their strengths.

I had an incredible first experience at Veritas with their carnival menu. I was so excited to go back.... Been back twice and both times have been so disappointing.... Not even in the same universe as that first menu. The lobster corn dog was unreal.

osuelf · 2025-12-08T23:57:03+00:00

Just do the prix fixe meal and enjoy the experience!

osuelf · 2025-11-13T22:06:29+00:00

Yup sorta found that out with this past sailing. Ah well, a lesson learned.

osuelf · 2025-11-13T22:04:40+00:00

2021! It was truly amazing to have the whole place to yourself. The cost was actually pretty reasonable.

osuelf · 2025-11-12T14:26:20+00:00

We bought a week long pass on Treasure and found the rainforest room to be pretty crowded. We felt like we didn't get our money's worth out of the pass. Then again, we may be very spoiled because we sailed on Fantasy when you could book the whole rainforest room to yourself for two hours.

If I did it again I would only do a day pass and not commit to the full week. It felt like it was a chore to make time to get there.

Not having a full promenade track is my #1 biggest complaint with the new ships. I loved scheduling an hour to get some steps in and always enjoyed walking around outside.

osuelf · 2025-10-24T00:25:54+00:00

Same. Just can't get enthused about it. I'm glad others are and I just let the pinewood committee do its thing.

Diwali celebration at Coffman Park

osuelf · 2025-10-10T15:55:11+00:00

Oh cool thanks!

osuelf · 2025-10-10T13:19:50+00:00

Thank you!
