If there’s one thing we can’t get enough of, it’s shiny things. Especially shiny Disney things.
Shinyyyyy ♫♪♫♪
And thankfully, Baublebar has come through with a wonderful collection that has us wanting to travel over to Wonderland just to snag it (thankfully, the internet exists, and we can save ourselves the trip and just add it to our cart instead.)
Either before you run into Epic Universe to meet your favorite Nintendo characters or need a relaxing end to your day after flying with a dragon, enjoying a relaxing sit-down meal is a great addition to your Universal Orlando trip.
Universal Helios Grand Hotel
We visited Flora Taverna at the Universal Helios Grand Hotel, where we got amazing views of Epic Universe and an incredible meal. This is one of the three hotels built for Epic, and it overlooks Celestial Park. Let’s dive in!

Other airlines are making changes, too. Last year, American Airlines announced big changes to its rewards program. But that’s not the only change coming to that particular airline. According to CNN, the company is also adding a perk, free Wi-Fi, to its flights soon, meaning that it will be the last of the major U.S. airlines to do so.
We’re revealing what it’s REALLY like to cruise with Disney!

Universal Orlando just got more epic!
Epic Universe
The resort’s third theme park, Epic Universe, is set to open on May 22nd, 2025. Before the park officially opens to the public, it has been open for previews. Team Members and their guests, along with other select guests, have been able to experience this brand-new park. Starting on April 17th, Universal Annual Passholders will be able to step into the gates of Epic Universe ahead of the park’s opening, but some dates have already started to sell out.
