food IS a theme park
According to some people, there are few better feelings than landing at Orlando International Airport to begin a long-planned vacation. (It’s me; I’m some people).

Once you get off your plane and set foot in MCO, there are some things you should do immediately before heading off on the rest of your trip.
Grab your cloaks and your wands, because the Wizarding World calls us!
Hogwarts at Universal Orlando
Back to Hogwarts is returning to Universal Orlando Resort starting on August 1st, and it’s something that Harry Potter fans will not want to miss! It’s a time of celebration for the Wizarding World, and we’re very excited. We have all the information you need to know before it begins, so let’s get into it.
Get ready to get scared! Passes for Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Orlando are officially for sale, which means if you’re someone who needs to see the houses again and again, now is your time.

This also means we’re getting a good look at the prices for the passes, which might be worth screaming about.
There are so many changes going on in the theme park world these days!
Islands of Adventure
Over at Universal, new coasters are underway, and classic shows are getting some major updates. An entire land even closed, and we’re still waiting on what new items could be coming! Now, it seems like a long-time restaurant is going extinct very soon.
Universal Orlando, like all theme parks, isn’t immune to ride technical difficulties. Sometimes, it’s just one ride that has issues, but on other occasions, though rarer, there are times when entire power outages affect multiple parts of the park.
Universal Orlando
Yesterday, a power outage at Universal Orlando left about 70 riders stranded inside an attraction that many people wouldn’t assume to be one that needs intense evacuation measures, but alas, harnesses, ladders, and safety ropes were needed to rescue the guests.
Universal Studios Hollywood is about to get a major upgrade with its brand-new, first-ever fully outdoor roller coaster, Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift. The ride was set to open on June 26th, but was then delayed until late summer.

Universal hasn’t announced an official reason for the delay, but it just debunked a widespread rumor about the postponement of Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift that gives us some hints.
Disney World isn’t the only theme park making big changes — Universal Orlando has been making some pretty big updates to its parks, too. First, Epic Universe still has that new smell because it’s only been open for a little over a year. But even that park is getting a new ride soon.
Fast & Furious: Supercharged
The Lost Continent and Mythos Restaurant recently closed to make way for something new, while Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit was recently demolished in Universal Studios Florida to make way for a new Fast and Furious roller coaster. But speaking of Fast and Furious, the Fast and Furious: Supercharged ride in Universal Studios Florida will be closing a lot sooner than anyone thought…as in NEXT MONTH.
Purple pizzas, flying dragons, and the most IMPRESSIVE monster animatronics that you’ve ever seen. THIS is Epic Universe – and, can you BELIEVE it, it’s now ONE YEAR OLD.
Epic Universe
But what have we LEARNED since the grand opening of this new Universal Orlando park? What’s changed? What have we absolutely fallen head over heels for? We’re doing some MAJOR reminiscing (while also planning FUTURE Epic Universe visits) today – here on DFB Guide.
A lot of construction is happening at Universal Studios Orlando!
Construction at Universal Orlando
We recently took a trip to Universal Studios Orlando to see what was going on at the park, and we have not one, not two, but THREE construction updates for you. The park has been seeing some changes over the past couple of years, and they’re not done quite yet!
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!
Frosted Owl Sundae
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!
