This NEW Photo Has Us Super Excited About Universal’s Epic Universe

We’re only a few months away from the opening of Epic Universe in Orlando and the excitement just keeps building!

We’re expecting to see very heavy crowds around the new park for quite some time after its opening due to its popularity (which could mean Disney World sees lower crowds this summer — we’ll have to wait and see!), and we’re preparing ourselves to run around the park as fast as we can to capture everything and report back to you ASAP. However, Universal just released a photo that gives us a fun insight into the new park!

Universal Orlando’s Team Member Instagram released a photo of their new nametags coming to the Universal Orlando Resort this year, and if you look closely, you might recognize the design just a little bit!

If you’re familiar with the Disney World design of the four park icons — Cinderella Castle, Tower of Terror, the Tree of Life, and Spaceship Earth — all being on a shirt, photo frame, etc., then this type of design likely looks very familiar! Universal Orlando will have four parks as well when Epic Universe opens, and their park icons are the Lighthouse (Islands of Adventure), the Volcano (Volcano Bay Water Park), the Chronos (Epic Universe) and the entrance arch to Universal Studios, with the Universal globe in the center to bring it all together.

Since these nametags are debuting soon, they will likely be the ones Epic Universe employees are wearing for its opening day on May 22nd, 2025.

But that’s not all — did you notice the actual names on the nametags? You’ve got Mario, Peach, and Daisy from the new Super Nintendo World, Dolores, Harry, Luna, and Ron all from the new Wizarding World of Harry Potter section, Apollo and Astrid from Isle of Berk, and so many more nods to the IP in the park.
