Summary

Yesterday we attended the Media Preview for Epic Universe, Universal Orlando Resort’s newest theme park that opens to the public on May 22, 2025. Not only is this the most immersive theme park we have ever been to, but it also has the best ride we have ever ridden. We got to ride Harry Potter and the Battle at the Ministry yesterday and our minds were absolutely blown. From meeting Toothless in Isle of Berk to collecting coins with our Power-Up Bands in Super Nintendo World, we’re reviewing everything at Epic Universe and we can’t wait to go back. Enjoy!

0:00.0	We spent all day yesterday previewing Epic Universe as part of a media tour for Universal Orlando,
0:06.6	and I am so excited to cover this.
0:08.9	Hello and welcome to a Dick to the Mouse.
0:10.1	Today is Sunday, April 6.
0:11.6	You're listening to episode number 682, and this is Epic Universe, our full review.
0:16.7	Music you. Hey everybody. Hey, everybody, Dana and Leslie here. Thanks for joining us today. I am so excited to bring you all of our content from Epic Universe.
0:39.9	It was, I mean, this is, so we went to the team member preview, uh, what was that two weeks
0:46.3	ago? About two weeks ago with Aden. He's been like three, four times now. And it was such an
0:52.8	incredible day yesterday. It was super warm, sunny, beautiful, and just a
0:56.9	perfect day to go theme parking. So we're going to get into it. But first, do we have any news?
1:01.7	We do. We have a little bit. So first off, for Adventures by Disney, if you are a Disney Visa
1:06.2	cardholder, you can save on some river cruise departures and get a complimentary pre-stay, which is a really
1:15.6	pretty good deal. So it has to be booked by April 15th, so they're not given us much turnaround
1:19.9	time. And travel has to be between June 5th and July 12th of this year. So a little limited
1:26.7	on our availability. But if you're interested,
1:31.4	let us know and we can help you all. I mean, they don't give many adventures by Disney
1:35.9	discounts. That's like a lot to say. Adventures by Disney discounts. A, B, D. They don't do
1:41.7	ABD discounts very often. So yeah, anything that you can get is definitely
1:44.8	something to take advantage of. Okay, what else we got? All right. So this one's pretty exciting.
1:48.3	If you visited Walt Disney World back in the day, pre-COVID, when they had the airport luggage
1:54.3	transfer service, they are piloting it at Disney Value Resorts. Only for Southwest Airlines right now.
2:02.7	Correct.
