Pat O’Brien’s at Universal
Speakeasy is back at Pat O’Brien’s at Universal Orlando’s CityWalk! Speakeasy is an exclusive experience for guests that is literally hidden upstairs, which you get to by using the stairs in the back of Pat O’Brien’s. We got the chance to check it out with an early preview before it returns, and we just had to share our experience with you!
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!
Halloween Horror Nights is turning 35 this year! To celebrate, Universal Orlando has something big planned.

This year’s theme will be the Infernal Carnival of Nightmares! It will be hosted by Halloween Horror Nights icon Jack the Clown, and his legendary rival, Dr. Oddfellow, will band together to scare Universal Studios guests. Halloween Horror Nights starts on August 28th and runs through November 1st, so get ready to scream!
The annual TEA (Themed Entertainment Association) Global Experience Index just released its official report for 2024. The report summarizes data from the Themed Entertainment Association (TEA), Entertainment + Culture Advisors (ECA), The Park Database (TPDB), and InPark Magazine. Now, we finally have a list of the most visited theme parks worldwide in 2024! While the report includes the most visited theme parks globally, Florida’s own Magic Kingdom Park topped the list. Are you surprised? As theme park reporters ourselves (who travel to major amusement parks all over the world), we’re not surprised.
Magic Kingdom
In fact, Disney won big in this category, claiming four of the top five most visited theme parks worldwide in 2024. Following Magic Kingdom, the list includes Disneyland Park, Universal Studios Japan, Tokyo Disneyland, and Shanghai Disneyland.
Who knew Universal’s Volcano Bay was the happening place to visit this fall season?! If you’re looking for a place to kick back, relax, and party with Scooby-Doo and the gang, we have just the thing for you.
Volcano Bay Nights
Volcano Bay Nights is an exclusive, limited-capacity event running every Friday through October 31st. It’s a night for fans to enjoy attractions, exclusive food, and unique experiences. We recently got to experience the event early, and we have so much to share with you!
