Big news: I’ll be among the lucky few getting an exclusive early look at Universal’s Epic Universe before it officially opens to the public! From May 15–18, 2025, I’ll be on-site exploring the new theme park and the brand-new hotels—and I cannot wait to share all the details with you.
This is Universal Orlando Resort’s most ambitious expansion ever, and trust me, you’re going to want to start planning your visit now.
🎢 What is Epic Universe?
Epic Universe is Universal Orlando’s upcoming theme park, set to open May 22, 2025—and it’s going to be a game-changer. Designed to completely immerse you in the worlds you love, it features four all-new lands and a stunning central hub.
Here’s a peek at what’s coming:
🔮 The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Ministry of Magic
Explore the magical Ministry and step into 1920s Paris. I’m especially excited to try Harry Potter and the Battle at the Ministry, a brand-new ride featuring Harry, Ron, Hermione, and a house-elf named Higgledy!
🎮 Super Nintendo World
Live out your Nintendo dreams with Mario Kart, Donkey Kong’s Mine Cart Madness, and interactive play zones. I’ll definitely be racing through the Mushroom Kingdom!
🐉 How to Train Your Dragon – Isle of Berk
A colorful land perfect for families, where you can meet dragons and even soar with them. This one’s going to be so fun to explore in person.
🧛 Dark Universe
Universal Monsters come to life in this gothic horror-inspired land. Think Dracula, Frankenstein, and moody thrills—can’t wait to see how spooky it gets!
🌌 Celestial Park
This is the park’s central hub—a beautiful, garden-like space with fountains, shops, restaurants, and Starfall Racers, a dual-launch coaster I’m hoping to ride during my preview!
🏨 Brand-New Hotels Opening With Epic Universe
Universal is also launching three new hotels alongside the park—and I’ll be touring them all during my trip.
🌟 Universal Helios Grand Hotel
Located at the gates of Epic Universe, this is the most luxurious new resort. Celestial vibes, upscale dining, and unbeatable proximity to the park.
🌌 Universal Stella Nova Resort
Opening January 21, 2025
Sleek, space-themed, and value-priced—perfect for families or anyone wanting modern style on a budget.
🌍 Universal Terra Luna Resort
Opening February 25, 2025
Nature-inspired with the same great pricing and perks as Stella Nova. Both offer early park access and shuttles to Epic Universe.
💫 Why You Should Plan Now
Because I’m visiting in May, I’ll be bringing back first-hand insights, photos, tips, and recommendations. But here’s what I can tell you already:
Hotel space will go fast
This park will be unlike anything else in Orlando
Booking early gives you access to hotel perks and Early Park Admission
