191 | 🎮 Epic Universe Insider Guide (Part 2): Dark Universe, Super Mario, Berk and Food Finds

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
