💫A few weeks ago I had the amazing opportunity to preview Epic Universe courtesy of Boardwalk Travel Agency and Universal Studios. We stayed at the Helios Grand Hotel and it was absolutely beautiful. One of the best perks was having our own private entrance into Epic Universe completely separate from the main gate. It made the whole experience feel seamless and exclusive. Being able to walk right back to our room for a quick break during the hotter parts of the day or just to rest our feet was a total game changer. Another huge benefit of staying at a Universal resort is that guests get early access to the parks before they open to the general public. It gave us a head start on some of the most popular attractions without the crowds.
Let’s talk about Celestial Park. This was the very first area we stepped into at Epic Universe, and it completely took our breath away. The fountains, the gardens, the music. Amazing! It all created such an incredible atmosphere right from the start. My husband rode Stardust Racers and came off grinning ear to ear, saying it was fast, smooth, and just the perfect kind of thrill. I’ll believe him since I will probably never ride.😆
🎠✨But the real highlight for me was the Constellation Carousel. I’ve never seen anything like it. It is not your traditional carousel. It was whimsical, and so beautifully designed with glowing, creatures that felt like they were pulled straight from the stars. And the best part? When we rode, it was just the two of us. It felt like we had the whole park to ourselves. Truly magical and definitely a moment I’ll never forget.✨
🍕We then stopped by Pizza Moon and split the Galactic Pizza and a Caesar salad. It was a fun experience with a cool atmosphere, and the pizza was good—but nothing that blew us away. We’d definitely will try other pizza toppings next time around. 🥗🥤
✨Stay tuned for my full review of Super Nintendo World and the rest of my Epic Universe Preview!🎥
