Want to snag the best seats at Disney World restaurants?
We’ve got insider “secrets” straight from the former Cast Members on our team, and trust us — they know how the system works. There’s nothing worse than getting stuck with a seat by the bathroom or missing out on a prime view of Cinderella Castle just because you didn’t know a few simple tricks. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or just want to level up your dining experience, these tips can make all the difference.
Well, it finally happened. We got to go INSIDE Epic Universe and share that experience with you. Yes, our jaws have been dropping non-stop all weekend (and yes, there were some tears of joy, too), and we’re not done yet telling you all about it.
Now that we’ve visited all five lands in Epic Universe, we’re coming in with our takes, and we’ll admit that a lot of things surprised us (those big lockers at Monsters Unchained, for example). But the best news that came out of our visit might surprise you, so let’s get into it.
Are you trying to keep up with all things Disney?

Magic Kingdom
There are lots of changes happening around the world with the Walt Disney Company. Disney World is experiencing an overhaul, Disneyland has a big anniversary coming up, Disneyland Paris is changing in major ways, and that’s just scratching the surface. We’re doing our weekly round-up of the biggest Disney news right here so you don’t have to go searching anymore!
Let’s just say this weekend has been…EPIC.
We finally got a chance to explore Universal Orlando’s new theme park, Epic Universe. We’ve been running all over Super Nintendo World, as well as How To Train Your Dragon — Isle of Berk, Celestial Park, and The Wizarding World of Harry Potter — Ministry of Magic. We also got to get our first really good look at Dark Universe, including the INCREDIBLE Monsters Unchained ride. Well, there was something about that ride that REALLY impressed us that we haven’t talked about yet: the lockers.
We’re HYPED for this upcoming event coming to EPCOT!
EPCOT is home to several events — like festivals — each year, and they can be massive draws. However, there’s one non-Disney hosted event coming up at EPCOT that will have many Disney Adults flocking to the famous Disney World theme park!
If you travel as often as I do, you know the airport security struggle all too well. Between juggling your carry-on, digging out your laptop, and making sure you haven’t left a water bottle in your bag (we’ve all been there), the last thing you want is to fumble with complicated shoes at TSA.
I used to be one of those people who wore sneakers that required lacing and unlacing (rookie mistake), but I’ve since learned my lesson. Now, I opt for lightweight, slip-on shoes that let me breeze through TSA without missing a beat. If you’re looking to upgrade your airport shoe game, here are some top picks that make security a total breeze.
We’re getting closer and closer to the opening of Epic Universe at Universal Orlando Resort!
This BRAND-NEW theme park will officially be opening on May 22nd and will be home to five different themed lands including SUPER NINTENDO WORLD. We’ve been keeping an eye out for any potential news ahead of the park’s opening, and now we’ve gotten to step inside SUPER NINTENDO WORLD at Epic Universe for the first time!
