So I used my Memorial Day weekend to actually catch up on a lot of sleep because last week I was at a media preview of Universal's Epic Universe new theme park in Orlando. Let me tell you, it lives up to the hype, and you will not get a lot of sleep if you go there. I spent two full days exploring the park before its official opening day.

Yeah. You know, I have to say, there are not a lot of extreme rides in the park. The only really wild one is a coaster called Stardust Racers. That one does go 62 miles per hour. But speaking of losing your lunch, I ate so many lunches. I did the five lunches in one day thing because all the food was so good.

Yes. Next week, we will hear from people who worked on the park, park guests. And Tess, I have to give you a spoiler. I said I didn't sleep a lot. The first day guests did not sleep a lot. I woke up at 4 a.m. to scout the most fanatic guests who wanted to be the first in line. Turns out the guy at the front of the line had been there since 1045 the night before. No!

No, it is not. Tickets start at $139, and that's before the optional upcharges that end up feeling pretty inevitable. I'm talking Harry Potter wands, Super Nintendo power-up bands, and of course, the food.
