What you need to know!
Five immersive worlds. One amazing theme park. Step through extraordinary portals transporting you to the excitement of Universal Epic Universe theme park, opening May 22, 2025 at Universal Orlando Resort. Tickets and packages are on sale now.
Reservations are also open for the Helios Grand Hotel. Guests of Universal Helios Grand Hotel will enjoy exceptional dining, a rooftop bar with 360° views, and relaxing amenities that will make your stay extraordinary. And only guests of Universal Helios Grand Hotel enjoy a dedicated entrance to Universal Epic Universe.
Tickets will be sold in phases. To start, you will not be able to purchase a single day ticket to Epic Universe. Initial tickets will need to be purchased as part of a ticket or room package. Eventually, other ticket options will be available such as Florida Resident tickets, Express passes, and other multi-day ticket options. Universal has hinted, but not confirmed, that these options will be available before the park actually opens.
Q: Why not wait until they are available to purchase?
A: Universal is monitoring the capacity of the parks and days will sell out. If you are interested in traveling within the first month or two of park open, I highly suggest booking now. Also, on the off chance they do not come out with options prior to park open, you will already be set.
Initially, park ticket packages will only allow 1 day at Epic Universe. If you purchase 3, 4, or 5 day tickets, only one of those days will be usable for Epic Universe. The other days would need to be used at one of the other 3 amazing theme parks.
Be flexible when it comes to trip planning. Undoubtedly, dates are going to sell out. You will want to have a back up set of dates and even a back up to that to make sure you are ready to book.
If you have some dates set aside and would like to start booking your adventure to Epic Universe, contact me today. Planning is complimentary and I can keep you on top of all news, updates, and announcements. Let the countdown to May 22 begin!
I don’t know about you, but I have ALWAYS (see what I did there?!) wanted to visit Harry & his friends at Hogwarts around the holidays. It looks so magical with the snow and…magic. Every time I read one of the books or watch a movie, I picture what it would be like to be there with them.

Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure will begin when you join Hagrid’s Care of Magical Creatures Class. Hagrid will have you board a motorbike, just like the one given to him by Sirius Black in the movies. Guests will ride 2 across and will have the choice of the bike or the side car next to it. Each will give a different experience. Hagrid will lead you down into the Forbidden Forest. (Which is actually made of live trees!) From there, in true Hagrid fashion, things get completely out of hand. You will wind up running into several magical creatures and fantastic beasts. The Motorbike will encounter Cornish Pixies, Fluffy, Centaurs and more! The art director teases that there will even be one beast we have never seen before. Hopefully you remember your spells because they will come in handy in this adventure.
This “Flight” will have you spinning, turning, and rushing both forwards and backwards. Speeds of up to 50mph will be reached. No word yet on a height limit -stay tuned for that!
