Universal Studios Florida has been changing big time!

Gate at Epic Universe
Universal has KNOCKED IT OUT OF THE PARK (pun intended) with its new theme park, and we’ve enjoyed visiting it multiple times to check out all five lands, including all the rides, entertainment, and (OF COURSE) dining spots. However, if you’re visiting Universal Orlando from out of town, you might be wondering what hotel is the best to stay in if you’re visiting Epic Universe. We’ve got an answer…but it’s complicated.
One of the BEST pieces of Universal Orlando advice I ever got was to get the refillable soda mug.
Universal
Unlimited soda refills? Coca-Cola Freestyle machines? Delicious unique beverages? Seriously, the perks of Universal’s system are SO MUCH BETTER than Disney’s. But if you’ve never tried the refillable mugs at either resort, we’re breaking down the differences between Disney World’s refillable mug options and Universal Orlando’s.
A BIG change just hit Universal Orlando Resort, and it could impact your next vacation! Universal has made changes to its designated smoking areas, and we have all the details for you.
Universal Studios
Effective today, May 15th, 2025, Universal Orlando has made changes to the designated smoking areas at its parks. While previously, there were locations inside each of the parks that guests could smoke, going forward, there will only be smoking areas located outside of the park entrance (except for Volcano Bay, which is keeping its in-park smoking area for now).
Universal’s Epic Universe is set to open to the public on May 22nd, and we can confidently say that the park is going to be a game-changer.
Epic Universe
The technologically advanced theme park is set to change the face of Universal Orlando forever, including the resort’s original theme parks: Universal Studios Florida and Islands of Adventure.
