When will you visit Universal Orlando's Epic Universe?

October 19, 2024, 4:23 PM · Now that we finally have an official opening date for Universal Epic Universe (May 22, 2025 - in case you missed it), it is time to start planning trips.

So when will your first trip to Universal Orlando's new theme park be? Vacation packages and tickets will go on sale for the park starting Tuesday, October 22. Our travel agent sponsor will have that, in case you want to get in now with a request for a free, no-obligation vacation quote.

But little details like pricing and availability never stopped theme park fans from dreaming about future trips, so let's not allow those details keep us from voting here.

When do you think will be the best time to visit Universal Epic Universe? Are you hoping to be there the opening day or during its first summer? Or will you wait until later in the year, or maybe until 2026?

Or are you someone who will wait to get to this new park until sometime after that, if ever at all? All these are options in our vote this week.


For all the details about what guests can expect in this new theme park, please see our Visitors Guide to Universal Epic Universe.

I want to get there just after the kinks are worked out, but before things like entertainment and characters start getting cut.

Looking forward to the main panel event at TPICON 2026 in Orlando ... The cool kids will call it "Tippy Con".

First year, summer 2025. When things start breaking bad that early thats how you get comped free stuff. i do want all the day one stuff that doesnt sell. Now my dilema is whether or not i want to get the annual pass for my upcoming trip for fear of no single day tickets. Pretty hyped. Hopefully they put out a nice little movie playlist in time for some of the more obscure stuff like Monsters or Celestial park.

Bless the folks that said "Opening Day". That's dedication.

I would probably be inclined to visit in fall 2025, after everything is broken in, and I can combine a visit with HHN and other fall events.
