Universal's Epic Universe General News & Discussion

[PerceptiveCoot]

Wow, these parking signs are great. Much more textured and anachronistic than the usual flat panel signs you see at other parks.

I don’t mind if the portions or at least quality of ingredients lend to the higher price points.

Yeah some $10-$14 price points are likely only so cheap because they are snack sized. Quick service shouldn't necessarily mean every item is quick to eat lol.

highkey wish the weight of the food sold had to be advertised, it would be much easier to compare if not to the price per ounce of groceries back home then at least to other dishes in park to find the best value cross referenced with ones own personal tastes.

Quick service are entree-sized items, not meals. I think you're confusing 'snack-size' with counter service offerings. It's confusing how the parks label it, but quick service isn't a snack stand, it's restaurants like Minion Cafe, Mel's, Satu'li Canteen, etc.


It'll be interesting to see how Epic's quick service rank against the best offerings at UOR currently and WDW. I just really hope we get AP for Epic sooner than later. I can see myself dining at Das Stakehaus pretty often if I get the option too.

Based on F&B QSR Menus as of TM Preview... Epic Universe will have the most expensive Quick Service options in all WDW/UOR Orlando parks. Things can obviously change, but they're obviously trying to offer a more premium offering/product at Epic.

Overall $17.59

• Pizza Moon $16.49
• Oak & Star Tavern $18.16
• Meteor Astropub $17.37
• Mead Hall $17.99
• Spit Fyre Grill $17.99
• Cafe L'air la Sirene $17.19
• Le Gobelot Noir $16.56
• Das Stakehouse $18.89 -> most expensive
• Toadstool Cafe $17.66

For reference, other WDW/UOR avg. Entrée pricing:

• Magic Kingdom $12.75
• Epcot $13.20
• Hollywood Studios $12.88
• Animal Kingdom $14.00
• Universal Studios $16.25
• Islands of Adventure $13.58

This data excludes large family platters.

I noticed the bowl I want at Spit Fyre Grill is more expensive than the highest priced bowl at Satuli Canteen, and it gave me pause. I consider Satuli a high quality quick service, with good serving sizes, but even their food doesn’t reach $20 a bowl.

So, it better be good

Yeah, still a lot they need to announce like VIP tours, the fireworks show, and Express Pass.

Also, I know a save the date was sent out to the media for previews. Does anyone know that date(s) of that?

From what I understand, the park will not open with a firework show. The testing has been for the grand opening celebration. Hopefully my source is wrong.
