What we would do today
If you have not committed yet, SeaWorld Orlando is the value pick — 4 minutes average against 28 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: Heavy showers, high 93°F, low 75°F, 36% chance of rain. No rain worth planning around.
