NEW over-the-top sundaes, fishy desserts, and BRAINS??
Epic Universe has some SERIOUSLY ridiculous food, and we’re here to tell you all about it today on DFB Guide.
Universal Orlando is one of the most popular theme parks in the country, and for good reason. It has some of the biggest franchises, like Harry Potter, Shrek, Minions, and Monsters. Combine those franchises with character interactions, rides, entertainment, and experiences, and you’ve got yourself quite a popular spot.
Because of their popularity, this means it can also get pretty busy. BUT there are several weeks in 2027 where Universal Orlando will be EMPTY. These are the 10 weeks you should consider booking your trip to Universal Orlando.
Universal Orlando opened Epic Universe in May 2025, and we’re already seeing plans for future updates to the park!
Construction is underway in plots of land adjacent to the park where expansions can go, and we’ve spotted several permits filed so far that hint at future attractions and offerings. But now, there’s a new patent that could reveal even more details.
We love going to Epic Universe in Universal Orlando. Where else can you race Mario, ride dragons, fight monsters, and battle wizards all in one day?
But Universal just threw a wrench into our plans because a popular Epic Universe ride is closing for its second refurb in a year!
We know that Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Orlando is just around the corner, but can we take a moment to talk about the most wonderful time of the year?! Of course, we mean Christmas time!

The Christmas tree at Universal Orlando
Universal Orlando Resort is once again inviting guests to enjoy all things merry and bright with its holiday celebration later this year. The official dates are from November 14th through January 3rd, 2027. The celebration will take place across the entire resort, with returning decor and vibes to brand-new Christmas-themed areas. Let’s take a look!
If there’s one thing you can’t miss in Epic Universe, we’d probably say it’s The Untrainable Dragon show. This show lets you enter the world of dragons with Hiccup, and you get to actually see Toothless fly over you. It’s insanely magical, and many of our DFB team members have cried when watching it for the first time.
Well, this show is going under a short refurbishment, and you might not be able to see it at all!
We love going to Epic Universe in Universal Orlando. Where else can you race Mario, ride dragons, fight monsters, and battle wizards all in one day? But there’s one thing we love more than riding the rides – all of the food!
As soon as we saw this pop up on the menu, we had to run to Epic Universe and try it ASAP. Spoiler alert: this little guy is one of our new favorite frozen treats in the park!
We still can’t believe that later this year, Universal’s Epic Universe will be holding its FIRST-EVER after-hours event!

Celestial Goodnight
Universal recently announced that an all-new after-hours event will be coming to Epic Universe for the first time, called Universal Nights at Epic Universe. Before, we didn’t have many details on what’s to come, but now Universal has shared what the after-hours event holds. Specifically, we’re talking about six perks that you can enjoy!
Lately, we’ve been talking about the possibility of expansion to Epic Universe. Now, this isn’t an expansion to the beloved park, but something NEW has arrived!

Epic Universe
We love a good day at Epic Universe. We’re talking racing in Mario Kart, getting a look at dragons, becoming a monster, and more. It’s just not the experiences that make this park special, but the food as well. That delicious selection of eats has more options because a brand-new snack spot just opened!
There’s a NEW nighttime spectacular at Universal Orlando!
It was announced recently that Epic Universe would be getting a new nighttime spectacular! Since the park opened in May 2025, it has offered a fountain show in the evenings, but now there will be fireworks, music, lights, and MORE. We’re here to check it out, so come along with us!
