I’m guessing no AP previews until mid April?

The annual pass term and conditions have been updated and include Epic under the parking and early park admission (beginning 5/23/25) benefits. It looks like passholders benefits will be extended to Epic at opening with ticket purchase and valid AP.

Good to know, but you're battery at 20% stressed me out

Yeah, that's always been the leading theory before previews started.

 

[Felicity]

Ha

Ha! My battery is perpetually low. It’s a running joke in my house. Low batteries and 30 open tabs.

Seems likely at this point, assuming they can get everything running consistently in the next couple of weeks. I do wonder how much lead time they'll give pass holders to plan from when they're announced to when they start.

Given that no June dates have sold out, do we think the May dates might have if they were put on sale?

Technically May dates are all still available… if you’re willing to buy a multi-day ticket.

But yes, I think opening day would have sold out if they dropped single day tickets. Maybe the Memorial Day weekend too. The rest, not so sure.

But I also expect some of the earlier single day June dates to start selling out soon, in case anyone has been holding out, better rush.

Do we think there will be any more ticket options later this year? Have a 4-5 day trip in November. Right now best option is the 3old park / 1 epic combo ticket + a standalone epic ticket. Seems silly to have to but two separate ticket packages for our vacation.

I expect more ticket options to be available before November.

Do you think AP prices will go up when/if they announce Epic gets AP benefits with the current 2&3 park passes?

I'm in the same boat for my October trip and actually did what you deemed silly, if only for peace of mind.
I'm also hoping they drop a ticket with multiple epic days in it so that i can re-do my tickets, but as of right now, I have the two linked up on my package.
I didn't need to pay for them upfront, linked to my hotel package, so i'm hoping that dime drops before my final payment in September comes.

I'm an AP holder who ordered a discounted 1 day ticket... I got a confirmation / order number. Is that all I need? Cause I don't seem to have anything else; no files, tickets, QR codes, etc. I guess they'll just scan my AP / check my photo ID and I'll be let in?

It's linked to your AP, so you'll just scan that.

Is it supposed to show up on my app at all that it's linked? Or I'm just trusting this email I received

At worst you might have to go to customer service at the gates on the day of but as long as you got the important emails you should be good to get into the park.

I got one email to confirm my purchase... Was I supposed to get more? And a lengthy visit to customer service on my one visit to Epic Universe is what I'm trying to avoid. I'll probably just end up calling customer service soon to verify.

I guess I find it weird because every other time I've purchased a ticket from Universal or Disney, there's zero doubt in my mind, the ticket is clearly visible, instructions are laid out. But here I've got nothing in my app or email for instructions, just "you purchased this, here's your confirmation number that you purchased it." There's no indication that it's tied to my or my girlfriend's AP.

Also the fact that the email says "Error! Filename not specified" doesn't give me any comfort... Was there supposed to be a PDF?

I understand. You're right though, that does sound odd.

Yeah, give customer service a call and verify things with them. I don't want to give you incorrect info on Epic tickets, especially if there may have been any technical glitches with everything going on. They'll have more accurate up to date information than I do.
