food IS a theme park
Universal Orlando had a MASSIVE 2025 thanks to the opening of Epic Universe and its three corresponding hotels.
Universal Orlando
However, we’re not sure if there’s enough to carry the resort’s momentum through 2026.
If you’ve ever wondered where to get a good burger in Universal Orlando, you’re not alone! We love heading to CityWalk’s Burger King Whopper Bar for our custom, one-of-a-kind burger at an affordable price.

Sometimes, we just want the juicy, greasy burger of our dreams, no park ticket required! So we were thrilled to find out that Universal Orlando will get a new Five Guys location – but it comes at a cost: Burger King Whopper Bar will be closing soon!
These days, when people think about visiting Universal Orlando, their first thought is pretty much all about Epic Universe, which makes sense because it’s still a relatively new theme park.
Universal CityWalk
However, if you’re making a trip to Universal and skipping out on CityWalk, you might be doing yourself a disservice. CityWalk is Universal’s shopping and dining district, and the best part about it is that you don’t need a ticket to visit. And soon, you’ll have even more reasons to visit CityWalk because a lot of new stuff is coming to the area!
If you plan on visiting Universal Epic Universe this month, you’re going to want to be aware of this ride closure!
Super Nintendo World Epic Universe
The park has seen closures throughout its first year of being open, and it’s a tough reality that even the most popular rides have to go down from time to time. Well, there’s going to be a closure to a popular ride coming this month, and it’s located in Super Nintendo World.
Want to plan your Universal Orlando trip like an expert? These are the hotels Universal fans are skipping in 2026!
Terra Luna Resort
There are 11 official Universal Orlando hotels for guests to choose from when booking their vacation. Much like the assortment of Disney World hotels, there are definite pros and cons to each option, and some of those differences might be dealbreakers for you when deciding which spot to book. Here are the three Universal Orlando hotels fans aren’t booking in 2026!
Epic Universe just released new snacks, and they’re a cuteness overload!
Soft Pretzel
Super Nintendo World has two new pretzels that made us go bananas. Plus, Isle of Berk has a new mac & cheese cone fit for a viking. Are any of these new snacks worth a try on your next visit to the park? Let’s dig in and find out!
Over at all three of Universal Orlando‘s parks, you’ll find a section dedicated to Harry Potter. Inside those spots, you’ll find butterbeer and butterbeer snacks galore — there are often so many, it’s a little hard to pick what to get!
Butterbeer Shortbread Bar
Now, this gets easier if you’re often visiting the parks, or going on a longer trip, since you can often try more of the treats. Even then, though, we think it’s important that you know which ones are at the high of your list. The last thing you want is to spend money on a treat you don’t end up liking! That’s why, when we heard that there was a new Butterbeer shortbread treat in Universal Studios, we knew we had to go try it out ASAP.
Universal has a brand-new Easter-themed horror event, but it’s not where you’re expecting.
Universal Horror Unleashed
Universal Horror Unleashed debuted in Las Vegas back in 2025, and we loved checking it out when it first opened. This year-round horror experience offers haunted houses, including this brand-new holiday offering! The Feaster Grievings experience will be held at Universal Horror Unleashed in Las Vegas from April 1st through May 2nd, 2026!
Happy April Fool’s Day! Today is always a day filled with pranks, jokes, and funny, fake “announcements” from companies. Universal didn’t disappoint!
Universal Orlando
Universal Orlando just announced some “news” for Epic Universe that had us dying to experience it!
Y’all, eating at Universal Studios Hollywood just got SO much easier.
Toadstool Cafe at Universal Hollywood
Universal has added a $59 food pass, which lets you order from eligible items off the menu with ease.
