Like I said, it's a big number.


I mean, could easily pay it, but would rather spend that 1200 on something else.

That amount almost covers the 5 nights at Royal Pacific Hotel, which gets us Express Pass at the other two parks for both days there.

Good plan. Stardust is one of the best coasters of all time. Enjoy my friend!

Cheese and Rice.... Its $300 per person and only allows you to skip the lines once per ride?


If it's that much, numbers are high for when you are there, get it and get it now. Express will be sold out day of if not sooner. It was in the low 200s the last time we went. Express is dynamic pricing, can be as cheap as 160 and when it gets above 300, thats a busy day. It was low 200s the last time we went 2 weeks out from when we went. It did sell out for the day a few days before as well.

We did express when it first opened and its definitely needed if you are only doing it on a busy day.

No, its 300 for every day now through December.... The day we are planning to be there there is the 2nd cheapest day of tickets for the month.

Specifically picked that time due to the lul between thanksgiving and xmas.


However, it may be a glitch, bc on the calendar is shows 300, but when you select the day and then the number of ticketrs its $129 for the day and the subtotal on that screen shows $500, but when you exit to cart it jumps to $1k.

Weird, yeah don't know what to tell you then. If you get it and the lines are nuts, you will wish you had it and it most likely will be sold out day of, but if the lines were like they were when we were there last time, it wouldn't be that big of a deal to not have them.

If you can swing it, get it, especially if you don't think you will go back soon. We got it the first time and it was great to get all the rides. We've been 3 times and after the last time I doubt we will be back again for a few years until they add more. We were bored with it and now we have to pay because we don't get the family member tickets any more since our relative is retiring.

If I can pick it up for 150 a head, then I'd do it, but no way in hell i'm paying nearly 3x the price of the ticket for express.

They need to hurry up and add Epic as part of the premier resorts collection express pass

I mean, I wouldn't wait 3 hours for every ride. You can't do everything and do that. I'm not sure what day you are going but it will be tough to do everything if at all possible without the express pass. We went on a saturday so there's that. but I saw a lot of beleaguered folks pissed about waiting 180 minutes to ride a less than 5 minute ride. Monsters Unchained rules and I think they have that at a pace where the lines are shorter for it which is good as you'll want to ride that one twice.

I'm not waiting 3hrs for a single ride...haha

As long as can get early and do racers and then kiddo gets to see Berk and do a majority of that, it will be a win.

The fun days are the other two doing Velocicoaster and Hagrids over and over again.

Yes and no honestly, epic is an insanely amazing park. Each section has a premium ride you don’t want to miss and another ride that you could skate not doing. The coaster at how to train your dragons for example is great and mine cart madness and Mario kart at super Mario world. Again, don’t miss monsters unchained
