Tue, 17 Jun 2025 08:00:00 Z

It’s been a year like no other at Universal Orlando Resort. From the spectacular opening of Epic Universe to the debut of stunning new resort hotels and unforgettable experiences, 2025 has truly transformed what it means to holiday at Universal Orlando.

Whether you’re returning to your favourite rides or ready to explore brand-new worlds, there’s never been a more exciting time to visit with MagicBreaks.

So, what’s waiting for you in the sunshine state right now? Let’s dive in!

Epic Universe – Where Imagination Comes to Life

Universal’s Epic Universe is officially open, and it’s everything fans had hoped for — and more! This awe-inspiring new theme park has taken immersive storytelling to new heights, with five incredible lands that transport you straight into the heart of adventure.

Step through the portals into Super Nintendo World™, where you can race through Mario Kart™: Bowser’s Challenge, collect coins with Power-Up Bands, and explore Peach’s Castle in a world bursting with colour. Journey next into The Wizarding World of Harry Potter™ – Ministry of Magic™, where you’ll uncover secrets, spells, and surprises within the heart of the wizarding world’s most famous institution.

Then there’s How to Train Your Dragon – Isle of Berk, a place of soaring dragons, Viking adventures, and breathtaking coaster thrills, while Dark Universe brings a spine-tingling atmosphere inspired by classic monsters like Dracula and Frankenstein. At the heart of it all lies Celestial Park — an intergalactic hub filled with cosmic gardens, starlit dining, and that magical Universal energy that keeps guests returning year after year.

Stay in the Heart of the Action

Alongside the new park, Universal has introduced three spectacular hotels — Universal Helios Grand Hotel, Universal Terra Luna Resort, and Universal Stella Nova Resort — both offering the perfect mix of comfort, luxury, and convenience.

Helios Grand Hotel, located right next to Epic Universe, is a masterpiece of elegance and design, offering exclusive park access and stunning celestial-inspired interiors. Guests can unwind at the rooftop pool, dine at exquisite new restaurants, and enjoy views that sparkle both day and night.

Stella Nova Resort and its sister, Terra Luna Resort, provide brilliant value and vibrant, family-friendly stays. Expect spacious rooms, lively atmospheres, and fantastic transport links to all Universal parks — making them a top pick for families and groups eager to experience everything Universal Orlando has to offer.

Unmissable Thrills and Timeless Favourites

Of course, Universal Orlando’s original parks remain as unmissable as ever. Universal Studios Florida continues to dazzle with attractions like Illumination’s Villain-Con Minion Blast and Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts™, while Islands of Adventure delivers pure adrenaline with the record-breaking Jurassic World VelociCoaster and the unmissable Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure™.

And when it’s time to cool off, Volcano Bay remains a tropical paradise — with wave pools, water coasters, and relaxing rivers perfect for unwinding between thrill rides.

MagicBreaks Top Tips for Visiting in 2025

Our Universal experts have been exploring every inch of the new park (yes, for research purposes!), and they’ve gathered their top tips to help you make the most of your Universal Orlando adventure:

– Arrive early at Epic Universe. Early Park Admission gives you a head start on the most popular rides.
