An Exciting New Era

Universal Orlando Resorts has entered an exciting new era — and if Universal has ever been on your family’s radar, now is the time to pay attention.

With the opening of Epic Universe and several brand-new resorts in 2025, Universal is offering more ways than ever to stay, play, and experience the parks in a way that fits your family’s travel style.

 Epic Universe Is Officially Open

 The biggest Universal news? Epic Universe is now open, and it’s completely transformed the Universal vacation experience.

This new park introduces expansive lands, immersive storytelling, and next-level attractions that feel different from anything Universal has done before. It’s bold, visually stunning, and designed to fully pull you into each world — the kind of place where kids, teens, and adults all find something to be excited about.

Because Epic Universe is brand new, planning matters more than ever — from choosing the right dates to deciding how many days you’ll want in each park. That’s where having a strategy (and a guide 😉) really pays off.

New Universal Resorts That Opened in 2025

To support Epic Universe, Universal introduced several new on-site hotels — each designed with a different travel style in mind.

Universal Helios Grand Hotel

 This stunning hotel sits right next to Epic Universe and offers a more upscale, immersive stay. It’s perfect for families or couples who want to be close to the action while enjoying elevated dining, beautiful design, and a relaxed retreat after park days.

 Universal Stella Nova Resort

 Bright, modern, and playful, Stella Nova feels fresh and fun — ideal for families with kids or teens who want a lively atmosphere without sacrificing comfort. It’s a great option for travelers who want something new and stylish at a moderate price point.

Universal Terra Luna Resort

 Terra Luna offers a slightly calmer vibe with the same modern design and convenience. It’s a wonderful choice for families who want to stay on Universal property while keeping things relaxed and budget-conscious.

Each of these resorts includes Universal perks like early park admission, easy transportation, and seamless park access — which can make a huge difference in your overall experience.

 Who Universal Is Perfect For Right Now

 Universal vacations are especially great for:

 Families with older kids or teens

  • Thrill-ride lovers and movie fans

  • Couples looking for something energetic and immersive

  • Travelers deciding between Disney vs. Universal (or combining both!)

 With Epic Universe now open, Universal is no longer just a “short add-on trip” — it can easily be the main event. 

How I Help You Plan It the Smart Way

With new parks and new resorts, Universal planning has more layers than ever — and that’s where I come in.

  • Choose the right resort for your family and budget

  • Decide how many park days you really need

 And best of all — my planning services are always complimentary when you book with me.
