Have you heard about the all-new Universal theme park coming to Orlando in 2025? EPIC Universe has garnered the attention of theme park enthusiasts because, frankly, it looks like it’s going to be amazing (I thought about saying epic, but you know…). Universal has only made a few official details known up to this point, but it seems like that might be changing — SOON.
Universal Orlando’s Epic Universe is still at least a year away from opening, but there is a LOT going on in the new theme park right now.

We recently got a TON of information about all five lands the new park will bring to Universal, as well as learned more about all the new rides the new park will have. One of those rides is Starfall Racers in the Celestial Park part of Epic Universe, and we’ve got HUGE news to share about that ride.
We’ve got excellent news — you can now book your 2025 Disney World vacation!

That’s right, you can now make reservations for your trip next year. We’ve figured out the cheapest days and even found out that two popular hotel perks will be returning in 2025, too. Here’s the thing, though — Disney opened these bookings months earlier than they did last year, which begs the question: why?
Okay, a LOT has been announced about Universal’s newest theme park — Epic Universe. BUT, let’s face it. A lot of those announcements have been shown with concept art.
Hello, Epic Universe!
Since we’ve only learned a little bit about what will await us at Epic Universe, its lands, and its 3 onsite hotels, we really wanted to see it in person for ourselves. So, that’s just what we did!

In a time when the theme park arms race is heating up, could Disney possibly be helping out a competitor?
Disney World
Universal Orlando Resort is getting ready to open its latest park, Epic Universe and the whole theme park-going world is going crazy with anticipation (us included). While Disney has plans for its own expansion, is it possible The Walt Disney Company is helping Universal build Epic Universe? Maybe.
Ever since Disney announced its $60 billion investment into the parks and cruises, fans have been speculating as to what exactly that might mean (it’s us, we’re “fans”.)
Could a 5th Disney World park be coming?
One expert even went so far as to predict that an announcement about a fifth theme park would be coming soon, saying, “You’re going to see a big announcement. … They’re going to add a fifth park.” While Disney hasn’t made any official announcements about another theme park in Orlando, we do know that there are plans for one — sort of.
We hate to be the ones to have to tell you this, but Disney has been lying to you. 😱
Better watch out for their growing noses!
As much as we LOVE Disney, we have to expose these “lies” to you. They may not be explicitly lying to you or even mean to say untruthful things, but some things have become insinuated through their actions. So, we’re to clear the air, so to say. There are 6 lies that many of us have started to believe about Disney, and we needed to shed some light on the facts.

Before we go spouting off about the Epic Universe opening date, we should probably take a step back. What IS Epic Universe? What will it look like? What’s included? We have alllll the answers, so let’s dive in!

The new park will have a total of five new themed lands with five new restaurants and a TON of new rides. One of the new lands is an original concept called Celestial Park, which will act as the central hub that leads to the other four lands. This area will also feature two new rides, including a roller coaster called Starfall Racers. Well, Universal also teased that there would be a fun easter egg on that coaster!
