⚡️ BIG NEWS FROM UNIVERSAL EPIC UNIVERSE! ⚡️

And Epic Universe is just getting started! 🎢

Universal has announced that an ALL-NEW indoor roller coaster is coming to Dark Universe! 🧛‍♂️🦇

The new attraction will be located next to Monsters Unchained: The Frankenstein Experiment and will take guests on a thrilling new adventure inspired by the legendary Universal Monsters!

🚧 Construction is already underway!

📅 No official opening date just yet, but it’s planned for the years ahead.

I’m currently here at Universal Orlando for a travel advisor FAM trip, so this is especially exciting news to hear!

Dark Universe is already such an incredible land, and I can’t wait to see what Universal has planned next!

🎢 Who’s excited for another coaster at Epic Universe? And do you think it will be more thrilling or more family-friendly?

🎢✨ Universal Orlando FAM – Day 2! ✨🎢

What an AMAZING day!! ❤️

Day 2 was all about experiencing Universal Studios Florida and Islands of Adventure with a VIP Experience! 🌎🎬

We had such a fantastic day exploring the parks, enjoying the attractions, and learning even more about everything Universal has to offer!

🍽️ We also managed to squeeze in a meal at Mythos Restaurant in Islands of Adventure, which was absolutely fantastic! I’m so glad I got to experience it before it closes in a couple of months.

🎢 And I have to share my proud moment of the day…

I’m definitely a bit of a coward when it comes to thrill rides 😂 BUT I actually rode Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure! 🏍️🪄

I was very proud of myself for being brave enough to give it a go, but I think Hagrid’s was definitely my limit! 😂

As for VelociCoaster? 🦖 I just couldn’t bring myself to do it!

What do you think? Should I have been brave enough to try VelociCoaster, or would that have been a step too far for someone whose limit is Hagrid’s? 😂

Such an incredible day, and I’m loving getting to experience Universal firsthand so I can share even more tips and recommendations with my clients!

🌎✨ Universal Orlando FAM – Day 2! 🎢🏨

Day 2 was all about exploring some of Universal Orlando’s amazing resort options!

We spent the morning touring four very different resorts:

🏖️ Universal’s Cabana Bay Beach Resort – Fun, colorful, and full of retro vibes!

🌊 Universal’s Endless Summer Resort – Dockside Inn and Suites – A great budget-friendly option, especially for families!

🌴 Loews Sapphire Falls Resort – A beautiful Caribbean-inspired resort with a relaxing tropical atmosphere and convenient water taxi transportation to the parks!

🇮🇹 Loews Portofino Bay Hotel – A stunning Italian-inspired resort with the added perk of complimentary Universal Express Unlimited!

In the afternoon, it was time for some Universal training! 📚🎢 There's always something new to learn, and I love getting the opportunity to expand my knowledge so I can better help my clients plan their vacations.

One of my favorite things about these trips is getting to experience the resorts firsthand. It really helps me recommend the best fit for each family's needs, preferences, and budget!

More Universal adventures to come! 🎢✨
