What we would do today
If you have not committed yet, SeaWorld Orlando is the value pick — 4 minutes average against 29 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 87°F, low 77°F, 41% chance of rain. An afternoon storm is the usual Orlando pattern — the outdoor queues thin out right after it passes, which is the cheapest time of day to ride the headliners.
