Epic Universe opens on May 22nd, 2025, and we couldn’t be more excited!

We’ve already gotten a sneak peek inside the park and we have so many thoughts! There is so much to see and do and it seems like we aren’t the only one with things to say about the brand-new Universal theme park. Let’s break down what the internet is saying about how they plan on getting into the park before it’s open.

Epic Universe recently began Team Member previews for the park! Team Members, what Universal calls their employees, have been able to test the park for the last few weeks but they can’t take any photo or video inside just yet. For those of us on the outside looking in, we are hearing lots of thoughts but still waiting to see what it all looks like (which is what we really want!)

It seems we aren’t the only ones itching to get inside the park though! Over on Facebook inside a Universal Annual Passholder group, someone posed the question “How do you get into Epic before it opens?” The responses couldn’t be better! Starting off, one user suggested needing “The cow white as milk, the cape as red as blood, the hair as yellow as corn, and the slipper as pure as gold.” Is anyone else as obsessed with this Into the Woods reference as we are?

Another comment suggested we just have to say pretty please! Technically, we haven’t tried that just yet so may be worth a shot. One suggestion said we need to find the right wrap pipe and we’ll pop up in Super Nintendo World!

Trust us when we say we’re still searching for the right wrap pipe! One real way to get in without being a Team Member is to consider marrying a Team Member. Is a lifelong commitment worth one day in the theme park a bit early? Maybe! It’s how our lovely reporter was able to check out the park early (she was really playing the long game with this one!)

One user suggested a simple airdrop from a helicopter and we appreciate the dedication. Make sure to pack your parachute if you’re going to attempt this. (Don’t actually attempt this.)

A few of the group members posed teleporting as an option. If anyone knows how to do that, let us know! Finally, you could try a few ways that are themed to some of the lands. Grab your floo powder for The Wizarding World, hop on a Dragon for the Isle of Berk, or grab a power-up mushroom for Super Nintendo World.

In all seriousness, the park opens on May 22nd for the general public and we are eagerly awaiting our chance to head back inside the park. The new park features 5 new lands, tons of new rides, and so many snacks we can’t keep count. Tickets are on sale now! As always, make sure you stay tuned into DFB for all of your Universal news and updates.
