REVIEW: BEWARE! Prime Epic Universe Restaurant Views Come at a Price (but Honestly? Worth It!)

By 1 Comment

Epic Universe is full of new dining experiences and opportunities, but you’re not just limited to dining inside the park!

Universal Helios Grand Hotel

Helios Grand Hotel is located right next to the park, and you can easily pop in during your park day for a nice meal or a drink. The rooftop bar, Bar Helios, is especially sought after due to its incredible theme park views, but it’s pretty pricey to dine here. Are the eats and drinks worth the dent to your wallet? We found out!

By 2 Comments

Over in Epic Universe, you’ve got dozens of new food stalls, restaurants, bars, and everything in between to check out. We’re making it our mission to try them all and help you decide what’s worth it for your first trip to Epic Universe!

Dark Universe

In Dark Universe, near the Burning Blade Tavern, you’ll find DeLacey’s Cottage. This is a quick service spot with a limited menu, and we figured it was finally time to try one of the more savory items we’ve had our eyes on. However, this snack might be a little different from what we were expecting.

REVIEW: Is The Frosty Moon Worth a Stop at Epic Universe? We Found Out!

By Leave a Comment

Epic Universe is an all-new park with multiple new dining options, and since food is our specialty, we’re making it our mission to try EVERY single restaurant in this new park so you know where you should visit during your vacation.

Epic Universe

While there are great spots in the different portals around the park, don’t count out Celestial Park, the main hub “land” because there are some fantastic options here as well! Frosty Moon is an ice cream spot located here, but is it really worth the stop, or should you find your sweet treat elsewhere? We found out!

REVIEW: I’m an Icing Fiend, So This Is the First Thing I’m Eating at Dark Universe in Epic Universe

By Leave a Comment

Tucked away in Dark Universe is a small, easy-to-miss little shack known as De Lacey’s Cottage. If you’re looking for fine dining in Darkmoor Village, keep moving (it is a rather dilapidated-looking shack, after all), but for all you snackers who love a “hidden gem,” we might have stumbled on a new winner in Epic Universe.

We love a “hole in the wall” restaurant, but this shack is really taking things to the next level

We’ve been snacking our way through all kinds of universes at Epic Universe, but now, our journey has taken us to the place “where the original Frankenstein’s Monster once received sustenance and friendship.” Aww — how cute! These days, the story goes that snacks and “cool treats” are offered at De Lacey’s Cottage, including things like cinnamon bites, pretzels, and more. So — is the original Frankenstein’s Monster’s old hangout still worth visiting? Let’s find out!

FIRST LOOK Inside Dark Universe at Epic Universe

By Leave a Comment

It’s about to get DARK. Really, really dark. We’re talking cursed monsters. Experiments gone wrong. Fire. Evil laughter. Scary stuff! Can you handle it? Good, because we need a friend. We’re going to Dark Universe, the spooky new land in Epic Universe at Universal Orlando. Prepare for jaw-dropping, heart-pounding, scream-inducing moments all over the place.

Dark Universe Portal

You might be thinking, “How did you get in there? Epic Universe isn’t open yet!” and you’d be correct. Universal Orlando Resort’s Epic Universe Park officially opens on May 22nd, 2025, but we got a special invite to preview the park before it opens to the public. We went through every land and every attraction, and now we’ve made it to Dark Universe. Do you hear that? Someone’s giving us a warning. “It’s alive! It’s alive!” Well, with that, let’s head through the portal…
