Epic Universe<\/a> has been open for over a year, and we\u2019re still learning new things each trip!<\/p>\n

\"\"Epic Universe<\/p>\n

One thing that has been consistent for Epic Universe is the rules that you need to know before you hit the park. Between weather policy and unwritten rules, these are five important ones to make note of before heading to Universal\u2019s newest park.<\/p>\n

No Drinking in Monster Makeup<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve seen a lot of strange theme park rules in our time, but this one is unique to Epic Universe.<\/p>\n

\"\"Quincy LOVES Dracula<\/p>\n

One of the coolest (and creepiest) offerings at Epic Universe is the Darkmoor Monster Makeup Experience in the Universal Monsters-themed Dark Universe. It\u2019s like the spooky version of Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique for grown-ups, too.\u00a0 But there\u2019s one big catch: you can\u2019t drink alcohol while in monster makeup.<\/p>\n

\"\"Monster Makeup Experience<\/p>\n

The official word is that it\u2019s due to ID verification issues. So if you\u2019re planning to get glammed up as a werewolf and then unwind with a margarita\u2026 You might need to pick one or the other.<\/p>\n

Stay Hydrated<\/p>\n

Epic Universe has a huge layout, and that means lots of walking in the hot and humid Florida weather. You will want to be sure to stay hydrated by using either a refillable water bottle or taking advantage of free water.<\/p>\n

\"\"Hiccup\u2019s Wing Gliders!<\/p>\n

Nothing will ruin your day at the park faster than becoming dehydrated. So do yourself a favor and start drinking water even before heading to the park to stay ahead of it!<\/p>\n

Epic Universe Just Solved My Biggest Theme Park Problem<\/a><\/p>\n

No Refunds<\/p>\n

Florida weather is chaotic. One second it\u2019s sunny, the next you\u2019re caught in a thunderstorm. Universal\u2019s policy? Admission is non-refundable, no matter the weather. That\u2019s right \u2014 no rain checks, no exchanges, and no exceptions. If it pours, the rides may close temporarily, but your ticket is still used up. So if your Epic Universe day ends up being a washout, you\u2019ll need to be flexible.<\/p>\n

\"\"Rainy day in Epic Universe<\/p>\n

We always recommend checking the weather forecast (as much as you can in Florida) and packing a poncho just in case. Some of the attractions will be unaffected by the weather.<\/p>\n

\"\"Isle of Berk<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll Need a Locker<\/p>\n

Like the other Universal parks, you\u2019ll need to store your items in a locker before an attraction. Any loose items or bags should be stored in the locker for safety.<\/p>\n

\"\"Monsters Unchained lockers<\/p>\n

But gone are the days of trying to remember a PIN for your locker. At Epic Universe, the Stardust Racers lockers use facial recognition tech. Here\u2019s how it works: press a button, let the camera scan your face, and boom \u2014 the system assigns you a locker. After the ride, you\u2019ll go to the back side of the locker bank, get scanned again, and if everything matches, the door opens.<\/p>\n

\"\"Epic Universe Lockers
\nYou Need Comfortable Shoes<\/p>\n

As we said earlier, Epic Universe is massive. That means lots of walking across the park, in between attractions. All that walking can make anyone\u2019s feet hurt, so comfortable shoes are a must here.<\/p>\n

\"\"Hokas are our go-to\u00a0 shoe<\/p>\n

A supportive shoe can make all the difference in your day. You don\u2019t want to be dealing with blisters while on vacation, so be sure to wear comfortable, broken-in shoes.<\/p>\n
