Yeah, not in a million years am I paying those prices for Express. If you can spend two days at Epic, you can easily hit the big rides as long as they're operational. In the morning, focus in on Battle at the Ministry or Mario Kart (is Mine Cart now part of EPA?) and then focus on the other rides in the evening when the crowds are usually smaller. Middle of the day is all the other attractions. Day two is for clean-up and riding rides a second time.

Yes. That's the way I did it in November. Two different Sundays, stayed until closing both days. Skipped early admission since I didn't want us tired out for the prime evening hours, and didn't want to waste time with the round trip back to the North Campus, that takes longer than you'd think. We even got lucky with a real short DK Mine Train line in the evening, and that ride is really cool in the dark, since the broken track effect works so well then.. Possibly not as good in daylight. We didn't have a single long line, timed everything just right. The only problem was they had a five hour afternoon period where nearly every attraction broke down, even with sunny warm weather. ...Breakdowns are still the lottery aspect. You can have good luck and a good experience, or really bad luck that ruins your day.

Yeah, that's the one downside. It can be like rolling the dice at Vegas with luck on downtime. Not as bad as the first year of USF, but definitely a factor in the day.

The trip back to the North Campus does take a bit longer than you would like. We typically hit the morning hard with EPA (getting there at like 730am) and then take a break around midday to nap and then back at the park around 5pm or so, which makes helps quite a bit since we had the kiddos with us.
