Creator's Key Takeaways

I've been very fortunate enough to be invited to one with a friend of mine um lives out in Florida and works at Universal and has invited me.

It's been an amazing day. It's certainly the best way of going around the park.

Epic Universe is going to be the game changer that everybody is saying.

Stardust Racers is absolutely hands down my favorite ride.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Book VIP tours to skip lines and get behind-the-scenes access.
βœ“Use the Virgin Atlantic bidding system for potential cabin upgrades.
βœ“Stay at a hotel near the parks for convenience.

🎒 Epic Universe Mega Vlog! The ultimate Orlando adventure! Join me for a once-in-a-lifetime trip to experience the Epic Universe private technical preview before the park officially opened it to the public. 🎒✨ The journey begins in Manchester, flying Virgin Atlantic Upper Class on the A330 straight to Orlando. Once in Florida, I enjoy a VIP Two-Park Tour of Universal Studios & Islands of Adventure, indulge in food and shopping, and then step into the future of theme parks with the Epic Universe technical preview. 🌍🎑 Finally, I head home onboard the Virgin Atlantic A330neo Upper Class, experiencing their newest business class seat on the return to Manchester. πŸ“Ί Would you want to be among the first inside Epic Universe, or wait until it fully opens?
