I’m about to show ya the tricks that work EVERY TIME, today on DFB Guide.
There are SO many great options for dining at Universal Orlando’s Epic Universe, and we’ve been to every single restaurant there, at this point. But there’s still more food we need to try, so we just keep going back.
Now, we’ve been to Cafe L’air de la Sirene Restaurant in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter — Ministry of Magic before, but we recently returned to the restaurant to try out more of the menu. So what did we think? Well, we’re going to tell you!
The release of “Epic Ride: The Story of Universal Theme Parks” has been delayed until November 17th, 2025. This three-episode docuseries offers a behind-the-scenes look at Universal’s theme parks, including the new Epic Universe theme park, which opened on May 22nd, 2025.
This is the third time the docuseries’ release date has been postponed. Originally, it was set to release in July, but it was pushed back to September. It is now being postponed until November.
According to the Orlando Sentinel, a woman is suing Universal Orlando for injuries she sustained after riding Stardust Racers at Epic Universe. This is the same roller coaster that Kevin Rodriguez Zavala died after riding on September 17th, 2025.
The lawsuit was filed by Sandi Streets, a 49-year-old woman from Sanford, FL. She is claiming that she suffered permanent injuries after riding Stardust Racers back in April. The lawsuit states that “her head shook violently and slammed into her seat’s headrest,” resulting in permanent injury.
We go to Universal Orlando for the food. There. We said it. We go EVERYWHERE for the food, and we’re happy to admit that.
Sure, Epic Universe is a lot of fun with its rides and entertainment, and we had a blast at Halloween Horror Nights, but mostly, we’re here for the food. Well, I guess we need to make a beeline over to Universal Orlando ASAP because the resort just announced a TON of new food and drinks for Universal Studios, Universal Islands of Adventure, and Universal CityWalk — and it all sounds INCREDIBLE.
Now that Epic Universe has been open for a bit, we think it’s about time to spill the beans on one of the park’s biggest attractions.
The more we visit Universal Orlando’s newest theme park, the more we learn. From new tricks to favorite eats, we’ve picked up a lot during our visits. We’ve also learned about some of the park’s pitfalls, including a misleading warning regarding a certain Harry Potter attraction…
Disney, Universal Pictures, and Warner Bros. Discovery have sued a Chinese artificial intelligence image and video generator for copyright infringement, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
This is the second lawsuit over alleged copyright infringement that Disney, Warner Bros., and Universal have joined together on, with the first being against Midjourney for its image-generating service.
Okay, so there are already a ton of things to do at Universal Orlando, including visiting the brand new Epic Universe, as well as Universal’s other parks, including Universal Studios Florida, Universal Islands of Adventure, and Universal Volcano Bay.
However, Universal also has a lot of seasonal activities, including Halloween Horror Nights, which is happening right now. Another BIG thing at Universal, though, is the Rock the Universe music festival, which is Florida’s largest Christian music festival. Now, Universal has revealed the full line-up for the 2026 Rock The Universe, which is coming up SOON!
Okay, so we know a lot of folks are planning trips to Universal Orlando for 2026 — and we get it. Maybe you waited for the initial excitement of Epic Universe’s grand opening to quiet down so you can visit Universal’s new park without as many crowds (although we expect to see crowds in Epic Universe for a while).
Or maybe you’re just skipping Disney World because of all the construction and opting for a Universal Orlando vacation instead, which is also totally understandable. However, if you WILL be visiting Universal Orlando in 2026, you’ll need a heads up about one popular ride: Jurassic Park River Adventure will be closed for most of the year.
We love Disney Cruise Line. It’s like taking the magic of the theme parks right into a multiple-day adventure with fun characters, incredible entertainment, and we’re, obviously, huge fans of the food onboard, too.
As much as we love Disney Parks, we’re also big fans of Universal Studios. Universal’s CEO just hinted at potentially creating a cruise line, and we’re trying not to freak out!
