Maybe UO should have a throwback day for pricing

They just might if Orlando stays this slow . They already did a deal of the century for locals last week.

Maybe I need to take a look at an Orlando trip again.

Keep checking hotel prices. They change often.

I just priced out a package on Costco Travel, staying on property for 6 nights, including 5-Day Park-to-Park tickets for all 3 parks and HHN tickets for about $2200. Hm...

Reminds me of one of my favorite theme park videos out there, a recording of the openly antagonistic NBC coverage of Animal Kingdom's opening day.

Today Show's Katie Couric prods at Michael Eisner in an interview, "Ticket prices are pretty steep here. $34-$42 for kids ages 3-9 years old? Do you worry it's too expensive for families?"

Different times, different economies, and a whole lot of corporate rivalry in that statement haha, but a funny thing to look back on now.

Weekends, especially Sundays, remain prime times to visit Epic. Sundays have been great since August 2025, with just a few exceptions.

We'll be at the parks the day after Labor Day through Sunday for HNN. I have Sunday penciled in as our Epic day and will probably need a second as this will be our first visit. Do you suggest both Saturday and Sunday or would Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday be a better choice over Saturday for that second day? Thanks.

if the Touring Plans calendar is accurate, Wednesday would be your best day.

Thanks. Reading the other thread I may have to keep my plans fluid if they extend to 9pm for the fireworks.

You should be OK unless there' some special HHN event scheduled that weekend. I don't follow HHN so I'm backward on that stuff. Mondys and Fridays are generally the longest lines at Epic.

Agreed. I’ll wave to you in line! Will be overlapping your trip.
