Creator's Key Takeaways

The good news, there's an honest to goodness bathroom in the queue. The bad news, it's located closer to the end of the queue than the beginning.

For $17.99, note the price per cup goes down a bit if you buy more than one. You can enjoy unlimited sodas and ices were available all day long across the Universal parks.

The Hogwarts Express does not connect to the new Epic Universe park, which I'll talk more about why that is later on.

One of the more recent Express Pass changes that are making Uni fans shout for joy is the one for Hagrid's Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Update the Universal app before your visit to access new features.
✓Use the wait time alert feature in the app to monitor ride wait times.
✓Buy a park-to-park ticket to ride the Hogwarts Express.
✓Book a premier level hotel for free unlimited Express Passes.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Not knowing how the Universal app works — Study and update the app ahead of time, as it has changed drastically since Epic Universe opened.
Getting stuck in long lines without bathroom access — Use bathrooms outside queues before getting in line, especially for Battle of the Ministry.
Spending too much on refillable soda cups — Buy one refillable cup and reactivate it for future trips for $10.99 a day.
