Epic Universe Itinerary
Epic Universe is five worlds around one hub: Celestial Park, Super Nintendo World, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter: Ministry of Magic, Dark Universe, and How to Train Your Dragon: Isle of Berk. Tell ParkCharter your date, hotel and party, and it builds your Epic Universe day: which rides to do in which order, where meals land, and when to move between worlds.

How the plan handles an Epic Universe day
Five worlds, one hub
Every world opens off Celestial Park. The plan counts the walk between worlds when it orders your rides, so the day does not zigzag across the park.
Early entry when your hotel qualifies
On many dates eligible Universal hotel guests can enter before the posted open. When your hotel qualifies, the plan starts your day at early entry.
Ride order from wait history
Rides are ordered using each ride’s recent wait history hour by hour for your date, so the big lines land at the times they are usually shortest.
Heights and Kid Charter
Each ride’s height minimum is checked against your kids. When a little one is too short, Kid Charter plans something nearby for them while the rest of the group rides.
Meals in the right place
Breakfast, lunch and dinner are placed at sensible times in the day, using the meal choices you pick.
Part of a bigger trip
Epic Universe can be one day of a Universal Orlando trip, next to Universal Studios Florida and Islands of Adventure, or sit alongside Walt Disney World days in the same plan.

Questions
What should an Epic Universe itinerary include?
All five worlds, the headline rides in each, at least one sit-down break for a meal, and time to walk between worlds. The rides most guests plan around are Harry Potter and the Battle at the Ministry, Mario Kart: Bowser’s Challenge, Mine-Cart Madness, Stardust Racers and Monsters Unchained: The Frankenstein Experiment.
Which ride should I do first at Epic Universe?
It depends on your date and your group. ParkCharter picks the order from each ride’s recent hour-by-hour waits for your date and from your party’s heights, so the answer can change from one date to the next. The sample day above shows what it picked for the date shown.
Can I plan Epic Universe with the other Universal parks?
Yes. ParkCharter plans all three Universal Orlando parks, Universal Studios Florida, Islands of Adventure and Epic Universe, and it can mix Universal and Walt Disney World days in one trip.
What does an Epic Universe plan cost?
You can start with a free first day, no credit card: one park day planned in full. A Per Trip plan is $14.99 once and covers up to 10 days. The Planner Pass is $34.99 a year, billed yearly, for unlimited trips.
Can I change my Epic Universe day after it is built?
Yes. Ask Arrow, the in-app assistant, to swap a ride, move a meal or rebuild the day, and review the change before you apply it.
