Summary

Today, we are headed to Epic Universe for the first time ever. Join us as we describe everything we experienced in each of the lands of Universal Orlando Resort’s newest theme park. We rode Stardust Racers in Celestial Park, ate lunch in wizarding France, explored Dark Universe, watched dragons come to life in the Isle of Berk, and relived our childhoods in Super Nintendo World. Epic Universe is the most immersive theme park we have ever been to and cannot wait until the Grand Opening on May 22, 2025. Enjoy!
