🎮 Day 5 – Epic Universe! 🌟
We spent most of our final park day in Super Nintendo World, starting with Early Park Admission and heading straight for Mine-Cart Madness! 🛒🍄 Almost immediately, the wait jumped to 120 minutes, so we decided to gamble on the Single Rider Line. 🎲 It paid off — about a 60-minute wait instead! The downside is missing all the amazing theming in the regular queue, but cutting the wait in half was worth it!
Next up was Bowser’s Challenge 🐢🏎️ We had a Single Rider Line Express Pass 🎟️, so instead of the posted 95-minute wait, we waited only about 20–25 minutes! 🙌
Then it was time for a late breakfast at Pizza Moon 🌙🍕 and WOW… it was AMAZING!
After that, we headed over to the Ministry of Magic hoping to finally catch Cirque Arcanus. We had tried several times earlier in the week 🎪✨ and this time, we were first in line! Then… a delay was announced😩 Followed by a cancellation💔 So disappointing, especially since this was a top priority for me!
From there, we grabbed lunch at Toadstool Cafe 🍄. The theming and vibe were so much fun, and the food hit the spot too! 😍
We spent the rest of the day tackling Power-Up Band challenges throughout Super Nintendo World 🎮⭐️, and then finished the day cooling off at the Cabana Bay pool🏊♀️🌴
Another hot, busy, FUN day in the books! ❤️ And what a great way to end our adventures at Universal Orlando! 🥰🥹
