food IS a theme park
Universal’s NEW Epic Universe theme park officially opens on May 22nd, 2025 — and to say we’re ready is an understatement.

The new theme park will include five themed lands with new attractions, restaurants, shopping, and more. We’ve scoped out the newest updates on the construction of the park and have already stayed in one of the newest Universal hotels to put us as close to the action as possible! And now, Epic Universe has officially been added to the Universal Orlando app!
If you’ve ever visited The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Orlando, you may have discovered the interactive wands that you can buy there. These wands interact with certain displays throughout Hogsmeade and Diagon Alley and add a fun interactive addition to your Harry Potter experience at the parks.

We’ve already discovered that some new wands will be coming to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter — Ministry of Magic when Epic Universe opens, but Universal Orlando’s other two theme parks are getting NEW upgraded interactive wands, as well as new wand experiences.
It’s official! We are one step closer to the opening day of Universal Orlando’s Epic Universe.

While the new theme park does not open until May 22nd, teams are hard at work getting the park show ready for its first guests on opening day. To test out rides and attractions, Universal Orlando is hosting preview days for its Team Members as part of its Team Member-first culture!
It’s taken years, but FINALLY the Villains are getting the representation they deserve in not one, but TWO Orlando theme parks!
The new Villains Land coming to Magic Kingdom will feature fan-favorite Disney Villains from popular Walt Disney Animation Studios films and two new attractions.
Disney World has announced that a brand new Villains Land will be coming to the open area of land behind Big Thunder Mountain Railroad in Magic Kingdom in the coming years, and Universal Orlando is getting ready to open Epic Universe on May 22nd, 2025, where one of the new lands is Dark Universe, celebrating all things classic Universal Monsters. While both of these lands focus on the villains in these stories, they’re going to be VERY different from each other, and we’re wondering which one will be visited more often!
Universal is getting ready to open its third theme park, Epic Universe, on May 22nd, 2025 — and we are so ready.

The new theme park will include five themed lands with new attractions, restaurants, shopping, and more. Tickets went on sale last year, but Universal recently released new details about discounted tickets, including discounts for members of the U.S. military. Now, we’re breaking down the details about that discount!
We’ve been eagerly awaiting more news about Universal Orlando’s new park coming in 2025 — Epic Universe — and now we’ve got some MAJOR updates!

We’ve checked out the park’s preview center, kept track of the updates about the themed lands (including Dark Universe!), and been looking at the construction. But Universal has just released more exciting news about tickets for the new park you won’t want to miss!
Tickets are now on sale for Universal Horror Unleased — the first-ever year-round horror experience from Universal Destinations & Experiences!

The brand-new attraction will officially open on August 14th, 2025 in Las Vegas, and we can’t tell if we’re excited or terrified. It’s probably a little bit of both, to be honest.
If this latest update from Universal’s Epic Universe doesn’t get you hyped, we’re not sure we can help you!
