After several trips to the epic universe, the new Universal Orlando Theme Park has come with a list of the items you need.
Some of these items are attraction staples or everyday “Florida Life” ingredients. There are some good planning strategies. Some are more epic than elsewhere.
These are recommended for most Orlando outings, but here’s why they should be considered epic essentials here:
Skin Game
Wearing sunscreen, mom always said, and mom knows best. Make it into a large amount of SPF. Epic’s debut will be at dawn, though likely to burn Florida’s summer.
The new theme park, which will officially open on May 22nd, is not what is called Shady at this point. This is the most obvious route in the celestial parks that lead to the other four lands, and is the route you need when walking from the world to the world. Trams, monorails and Hogwarts Express will not save you.
When the sun is the highest, magnificent visitors stand in the shade, next to the building, in the corner, in the cranny.
If you go without sunscreen you will actually be guaranteed to get sunburn. And be careful when you need to reapply.
Other fashionable recommendations: sunglasses, cooling towels, foldable water bottles for hydration. The park has multiple vertical water stations that make refilling easier.

Power moves
Portable chargers can boost confidence in the idea of continuous power, as there is reason to believe smartphone use will rise on Epic.
The official Universal Orlando app not only reveals wait times for shows and Meet and Greet rides and schedules, but also healthy chunks of epic food orders (and payments) are made there.
The battles on virtual lines and ministry rides used during Harry Potter previews are also performed via the app. In street language, some users have achieved success with electronic queues by trying to secure slots from time to time, in addition to what the park posted. The results may vary, but that method certainly can drain the battery.
Heat is not a friend of the phone battery either. A great charging near the shaded plug may be welcome.
Create a list
An epic universe is a new experience for most people, and people may not be able to complete all missions in one day. Therefore, a priority list must be a priority. It can be old fashioned paper or digital on that phone.
The park will have 11 rides (including four roller coasters) and two stage shows, with multiple performances scheduled for a day. There are also new restaurants to consider. Scoping the epic online, then closing the land on the land, cutting off walking time and crossing the heavenly park.
Everyone has a variety of needs. Do you save potentially wet rides (fire drills in the way that trains dragons)? Maybe the dark universe is the best after sunset? Maybe your group needs the environment of Harry Potter’s world in the 1920s’ magical world of Paris, or the fascinating atmosphere of Harry Potter’s seduction and ministry battle?
Wise shoes
Choose your shoes wisely. Like most theme parks, there’s something to do.
A few rides – no monsters chain: Frankenstein’s experiment and Dragon Racer Rally – put the passengers in the hanging leg position, so shoes that could fall are not allowed. We are looking at you and your flip-flops and crocodile.
There are also many conquering staircases (Coughnintendocough), so support is important. We also had reports that were slippery for wet reports, but we welcome to Florida.
Enter the game
Gamers need to note that to get the most out of the interactivity offered in the Super Nintendo world, they need to invest in power-up bands.
Wristbands are sold in the epic for $42, and do you activate the games and effects attached to trademarks around the world? block. Complete sufficient assignments and qualify for the Bowser Jr. Shadow Showdown.
Meanwhile, the power-up band doesn’t have to wander the world of Super Nintendo or ride its attractions.
I’m back to my backpack
OK, perhaps this is counterintuitive after removing the list of essentials. But a small backpack is perfect for your pain with a small attraction locker.
Maybe throw in some other merchandise, like a power bar or a small umbrella. Floridians should accept more of the power of the parasol.
