food IS a theme park
We’ve been talking about this for YEARS, but the day has finally come. Universal Orlando’s newest park, Epic Universe, has opened its gates and welcomed guests for its grand opening.
Epic Universe
Epic Universe was previously in technical rehearsal, but today is the first official day. Because technical rehearsals were available for everyone, what do opening day crowds look like in the park? Technical rehearsals were at a limited capacity, but let’s take a look at Epic Universe on opening day.
THE DAY IS HERE!
Epic Universe
Epic Universe, Universal Orlando’s newest park, is officially open to the public, and to celebrate, they had a grand opening ceremony. We’re not trying to be dramatic when we say this ceremony was EPIC (now that the park is open, get ready for ALL the epic puns).
Epic Universe is full of dozens of new food stops, and it’s our mission to try them all so you know what’s worth it on your vacation!
The Portal to Dark Universe
Dark Universe is one of the lands you may not expect to find some pretty fantastic food offerings, and while we haven’t been impressed by everything we’ve had here, we just tried something from The Burning Blade Tavern that we’ll be thinking about for WEEKS to come!
Universal’s new theme park is (mostly) living up to its almost unprecedented hype.
Celestial Park in Epic Universe
The park is also chock-full of secrets, from construction changes to deceptive architecture that masks the length of queues to easter eggs within the park’s portals; there’s plenty below the surface.
We’re SO close to booking another trip back to Epic Universe, we can taste it…literally.
Das Stakehouse
We’ve attended a media event to check out the new park, plus we’ve been back for early previews of this EPIC new park. So speaking of taste, that means we’ve been trying out EVERY SINGLE restaurant we can get into at Universal Orlando’s new theme park. However, we may have met our match when we visited one restaurant that was so DARK, EERIE, and even made our stomachs turn at the CREEPY way their food is presented.
It’s certainly no secret that there’s plenty to see, eat, drink, and do at the brand-new Epic Universe theme park at Universal Orlando Resort.
Burning Blade Tavern
We’ve made our way around the five themed lands, and Dark Universe might just be our favorite of them all. Here, visitors will “encounter everything from the experiments of Dr. Victoria Frankenstein to the shadowy landscape where monsters roam in a world of myth and mystery.” And that includes checking out the Burning Blade Tavern!
Universal Orlando’s third theme park, Epic Universe, is set to open next month on May 22nd, 2025.
Epic Universe
This new theme park is home to five different lands including Celestial Park, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Ministry of Magic, SUPER NINTENDO WORLD, How to Train Your Dragon – Isle of Berk, and Dark Universe. Universal offers Annual Passes so you can visit and experience their theme parks whenever you please, but will their newest park be part of their Annual Pass program? We have the answer you are looking for!
We just had the EPIC opportunity to step inside the long-awaited Epic Universe!
Epic Universe
It was truly remarkable and we can’t wait for fans to get to experience it on May 22nd when it officially opens to the public! In order to get you prepared, we have collected all the information you’ll need to make your Epic Universe adventure as EPIC as possible. And yes, we’re talking about the bathrooms!
Epic Universe is almost open!
WELCOME to EPIC UNIVERSE!
The brand new Universal theme park opens on May 22nd, 2025, but we recently got a full preview inside, and we are still speechless! We are still going over every detail in our minds, specifically for Dark Universe and its main attraction, Monsters Unchained: The Frankenstein Experiment. We’re breaking down the attraction here!
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.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
