Early Bird Advantage: Battle at the Ministry

We made a beeline for Battle at the Ministry as soon as we entered the park. This highly talked-about ride combines cutting-edge technology with a captivating storyline. Thanks to our early start, we rode it in less than an hour and a half—saving us significant time later in the day!

Journey Through the Isle of Berk

Next, we flew over to the Isle of Berk. Kicking things off with Dragon Racer's Rally, a ride where you can choose how you spin in the air and then we hopped on Hiccup's Wing Glider, which offered stunning views of the Isle of Berk as we soared throughout the land. Before long, we stopped for a tasty meal to recharge our energy, then queued up to meet Toothless, the beloved dragon. He was charming and full of personality, making for a memorable encounter that we cherished.

To wrap up our Isle of Berk excursions, we watched the delightful show, Untrainable Dragon. This entertaining mix of music, dancing, and flight is a wonderful addition to your day at Berk. Finally, we ended our time in this beyond immersive area on the Fyre Drill ride, where you learn to put out the dragon's fire with water, but watch out, water likes to come back at you.

Leveling Up at Super Nintendo World

No trip to Epic Universe would be complete without visiting the bright and colorful Super Nintendo World! This area brings the beloved franchise to life with exciting attractions. We dove right into Yoshi's Adventure, enjoying a fantastical ride that transported us into the world we adored as kids.

Following that, we jumped onto another ride, Mine Cart Madness, which left us thrilled and breathless. To cap off our time there, we met Toad, who greeted us with his fun, quirky personality.

We even engaged in a few power-up games, allowing us to immerse ourselves further in this vibrant world. The nostalgia was overwhelming, and it felt like a dream come true as childhood memories surged back to life.

Closing Out the Day in Celestial Park
