Well, time ran out for my family. We had to lock in airline tickets and travel days for vacation requests. So we just booked a trip to Switzerland and Germany instead of Epic (from the west coast). Couldn't wait any longer for the tickets/vacation we wanted (2 days at Epic plus a day each at USF and IOA). We're going to Europa-Park instead, which has always been on my list! I'll enjoy watching the videos of Epic opening days.
