What we would do today

If you have not committed yet, SeaWorld Orlando is the value pick — 3 minutes average against 21 at Epic Universe is close to an hour of standing saved over a full day. If you are already committed to Epic Universe, rope-drop the headliner you care about most and accept a long midday lull; the second wind comes after dinner.

Weather today: Showers, high 90°F, low 74°F, 36% chance of rain. No rain worth planning around.
