In Part 2 of my conversation with Chad Pennycuff (My DVC Points Podcast), we’re diving deeper into Universal Orlando’s brand-new theme park: Epic Universe — and there’s so much more to explore!
This episode covers:
- 🍕 The best food in the park (hello, truffle pizza, mango cornbread & that Frankenstein pretzel)
- 🧛♂️ The incredible Dark Universe land featuring Universal Monsters — and why Monsters Unchained might be the most underrated ride in the park
- 🐉 Chad's favorite land, Isle of Berk (How to Train Your Dragon), plus the family-friendly Hiccup’s Wing Gliders and must-see live show
- 🎢 What we thought of Donkey Kong: Mine Cart Madness, Mario Kart: Bowser’s Challenge, and whether Yoshi’s Adventure is worth the wait
- 🧢 Why the Power-Up Bands matter — and how Universal turns Super Nintendo World into a real-life video game
We also share final thoughts on:
- Express Pass strategy
- Touring tips for different ages
- Why this park truly is epic — and may even deserve an entire trip on its own
