Tips for Planning Your 2025 Visit
1. Book Early
Hotels close to Universal Orlando are sure to sell out fast, especially the new ones tied to Epic Universe. Lock in your stay as soon as possible to secure the best rates and availability!
2. Time It Right
The summer months will be popular, but visiting later in the year may help you avoid peak crowds while still soaking in the excitement of the grand opening season.
3. Go Beyond the Parks
Epic Universe will complement Universal’s other parks—Universal Studios Florida, Islands of Adventure, and Volcano Bay. Plan a multi-day itinerary to experience it all, with plenty of time to relax at your resort or enjoy the CityWalk dining and entertainment district. With the addition of this park, we recommend at least a 4-night stay!
