Hi Reader, 👋🏽

​
Our team is back from an amazing week in Orlando where we mixed a little training with some “research” at Universal Orlando Resort and we have updates you’ll want to know about, especially with Epic Universe officially open.

​

When to Go

We visited right as schools were back in session, and it was the perfect time - the parks were quieter, wait times were the lowest we’ve ever seen, and even transportation around the resort was a breeze. If you’re planning a trip without little ones, late August could be a smart way to save money on Express Passes while still enjoying all the rides and shows.

Epic Universe Highlights​
This brand-new park truly has something for everyone:

• Step right into Super Nintendo World and play alongside Mario & friends
• Soar with Hiccup and Toothless in the How to Train Your Dragon land
• Explore classics like Frankenstein and Dracula in Dark Universe

​

The New Resorts​
We also toured the incredible new hotels tied to Epic Universe:

• Stella Nova & Terra Luna Resorts - Sister hotels inspired by the stars and galaxies. From the moment you see their striking exteriors - bold, glowing designs that echo the night sky - you know you’re staying somewhere special. These resorts offer family-friendly fun at a great value. (We’ve included a video of a standard room at Stella Nova below so you can take a peek inside!)
• Helios Grand Hotel - The crown jewel, connected directly to Epic Universe with exclusive access and luxury amenities.

And of course, Universal classics like Hard Rock Hotel and Loews Sapphire Falls remain top choices for every style and budget.

Did You Know?​
There’s an exclusive Universal Orlando package that only a travel advisor (like us) can book. It pairs your Universal resort stay and park tickets with a transfer straight to Port Canaveral, making it easy to head from your theme park adventure right into a cruise vacation. 🚢🎢
