@UniversalORL you’re supposed to be better than Disney, not copying one of the worst things they’ve done in recent years…

@SPD_travels Not good news for MCO prices. Less VIR seats and no EUK seats!
English
Info |
Virgin Atlantic will base the A330-900 at Manchester from January 2027.
VS73/74 to Orlando is listed as a daily A339, while the Wednesday New York JFK flight is also listed as A339 (the other 4 weekly flights remain A333).
English
@SPD_travels Is there any data on their loads on the MCO route? I know sometimes they were rammed, some times pretty empty. Be interesting to see the overall demand.
English
Well, we all knew it was coming.
After weeks of strikes and cancellations, the Aer Lingus base at Manchester is set to close on 31st March.
I wish all the staff well and hope they find new jobs as soon as possible.

Forbidden Journey
Maybe Bourne too

What attraction is this?

@OpenMothersMale Did pretty much the full park in one day in August including some re-rides. BATM was 10 minutes in the evening. 🤷♂️
English
It's nearly impossible to do this park fully without buying express. It's basically ride Monsters Unchained and Stardust a lot (granted good rides) or wait half your day to do Ministry.
They need capacity fixes asap

Epic Universe at night might be my favorite theme park experience of 2025. But woof, the daytime capacity issues are still a real drag on the overall experience.

@VirginAtlantic But Sarah (Swansea) in the Flying Club booking team has been fantastic this morning. She has put things right and rebuilt the trust that other colleagues had eroded away. She deserves a huge amount of recognition and praise.
English
@VirginAtlantic Your process’, colleagues, failed callbacks and mistakes have let you do multiple times over the last few weeks. You lost sight of there’s a real person at the end of your communications and decisions. [1 of 2]

@loveourlifevlog The two busiest times of the year are coming up - ending New Years. Universal will have 0 desire to have APs taking up space when they can sell non-AP tickets.
International tickets allowing unrestricted access to Epic Universe on 1 January 2026.

Just another reason Annual Passes would be great by Christmas 😉

Epic Universe will be decked out for the holidays at Universal Orlando Resort! You’ll find the new decor in Celestial Park and the Ministry of Magic. 🎄🎁❄️☃️

@DreamfinderGuy It’s also breaking down continuously - as I saw first hand today.
English
The wait for EPCOT’s first return to form in over a decade is more than double that of its flashy new E-Ticket currently. I really hope the right people are noticing, classic EPCOT can still be a slam dunk in the modern era. Really hope this sets a precedent.

@Loews_Hotels Maybe someone can return my money and reply to my emails about the 17 transactions where you incorrectly tried to take money out of my bank account whilst I stayed there 2 weeks ago? I’m still waiting on over $1000 to be returned. Complaints ignored…

Sip into summer with the Peach Fizz at Live by Loews - St. Louis—crafted with fresh peach purée, lemon juice, and simple syrup, perfectly balanced over ice and finished with a peach slice. Cheers to #FizzbyLoewsHotels. bit.ly/3Ut8Yrj 🍑✨

@Loews_Hotels Maybe someone from Sapphire Falls can return my money and reply to my emails about the 17 transactions where you incorrectly tried to take money out of my bank account whilst I stayed there 2 weeks ago? I’m still waiting on over $1000 to be returned.

@UniversalORL #UOFistBump to Dominique for taking a great photo of us on Pteranodon Flyers this morning after loading us onto the ride!

@AliciaStella Hopefully we’ll see those dragons flying overhead soon… Have you heard anything? 🫤

Something of note, passholder perks for Epic Universe will only be available through Dec 31, 2025. This could be further confirmation that annual pass upgrades to include Epic may become available in 2026. Current perks include free/discounted parking and discounts on merch/food.
English
@Uni_Speaking Same smell as Royal Pacific I think - and maybe the other high end ones.
English
Sapphire Falls lobby smells unbelievably good.
Pass it on.
👃
English
@Uni_Speaking Have a look out for them - They’re easier to spot on coasters generally. Hagrids and VelociCoaster are a pretty easy ones to spot if you know where to look. I won’t spoil that bit of ‘fun’ for you.
English
Also, earlier on Stardust, we got delayed right at the front as they were adding another train - where do they come from?
I bet it’s straight forward but I am still bemused 😂
English
@Uni_Speaking I agree Stella Nova definitely seems a lot quieter and calmer.
Cabana Bay was a weekend trip so would have seemed even busier though - Friday evenings at a busy time of year are vile. It’s Dockside level 😂
English
Going from Surfside to Cabana Bay was one hell of a jump in terms of busyness by the way.
I already feel much more comfortable at Stella Nova. Fantastic first impressions.

@AliciaStella Whilst I’m here trying not to be negative in the title when my first preview day was a fail. 😂

Skimming through YouTube after posting my opening day vlog to see what others had posted

Title: EPIC UNIVERSE EPIC FAIL HOW COULD THEY!?

@wallin_ballin Monsters was a walk on even with Ministry on VQ and during a thunderstorm when I went which was some of the roughest days of Epic operations.
