Epic Universe Opening Date Announced: Get Ready for the Big Adventure

Exciting preview of Epic Universe at Disney, showcasing attractions and DVC resorts.

Universal Orlando Resort has officially announced the opening of the eagerly awaited Epic Universe on May 22, 2025. This thrilling new addition is set to redefine theme park entertainment. Visitors can look forward to exhilarating new rides, immersive lands, and enhanced experiences with new hotels and ticket options, making it easier than ever to enjoy the magic. Here's what you need to know about this groundbreaking new park.

When Will Epic Universe Open?

Epic Universe is set to open its doors on May 22, 2025, just in time for Memorial Day weekend. This strategic timing allows guests to kickstart their summer with an unforgettable experience. Historically, holiday weekends draw large crowds, and Universal's choice aligns with the tradition of launching major attractions during peak seasons.

How Will Ticket Sales Work?

Universal is implementing a staggered ticket release strategy. Starting the week after this announcement, bundled ticket packages offering multi-day park access, including guaranteed single-day entry to Epic Universe, will be available. Single-day ticket sales will open to the public on October 24, 2024.

Annual Passholders will enjoy early access and exclusive preview opportunities before the park's official opening. Special ticket types, such as Express Passes and Florida resident discounts, provide added flexibility for both local and visiting guests.

What's New with the Hotels?

Three new Universal hotels are set to open in 2025. The Universal Stella Nova Resort and Universal Terra Luna Resort, both value-oriented, will debut in early 2025. The highlight, however, is the Universal Helios Grand Hotel, opening in conjunction with Epic Universe on May 22, 2025.

This hotel offers guests a private entrance into the new park and luxurious amenities for those seeking an upscale stay. Reservations for Helios Grand will be available starting October 22, 2024, perfect for DVC members planning a family-friendly spring or summer trip.

Ticket Package Highlights

Universal will offer various ticket bundles, including:

  • 3-Day Ticket: Access to Universal Studios Florida and Islands of Adventure for two days, plus one day at Epic Universe.
  • 4-Day Ticket: Enjoy three days at the existing Universal parks and one day at Epic Universe.
  • Single Day Ticket: Available for purchase starting October 2024.

Premium packages, including Express Passes and add-ons for UK travelers, will also be available.

Save Money with the DVC Point Swap Program

DVC members can use the DVC Resale Market's Point Swap Program, expected to include Epic Universe in 2025. This initiative allows members to exchange DVC points for stays at Orlando resorts, maximizing point value while saving cash.

For more information, explore the DVC resale listings or consult a DVC Point Swap Advisor for travel options and budgeting tips.

Final Thoughts

The opening of Epic Universe promises an entirely new theme park experience in Orlando. With innovative attractions, new hotel offerings, and strategic ticket plans, Universal is preparing for a record-breaking season.

Whether you're planning a brief weekend getaway or a comprehensive DVC family vacation, 2025 is set to be a year filled with adventure. Be sure to plan your DVC vacation, secure your tickets early, and get ready for an unforgettable experience at Epic Universe.

Mitzi and I couldn't have had a more positive experience as the one which we had, in selling some of our DVC points through DVC Sales with Mark and Lori Webb. and their staff. The whole process was transparent, seamless and we were being fully briefed as to the. progress. Thanks to Mark we were kept aware as to what was happening with the listing, with the ROFR bu Disney, and with the closing process completed, all in a short months' time. We couldn't have asked for a better group than DVC Sales for the sale. they were honest . amd truly caring on our behalf. Mitzi and Lee Tucholski

Just sold some of my points and Mark and Lori were wonderful. I’m very, very happy with the experience. I got an excellent price and now someone else gets to enjoy just a bit more of DVC. The website is great to work with too. I will always use DVC Sales and encourage you to do the same.

Foreign sellers, beware; they will not provide correct information to you about what you can expect when selling. They also, at the end of the process, hit you with fees you did not expect, and you are too late to do anything about it.

I could not imagine being happier with my experience using DVC Sales to sell our Old Key West membership. We enjoyed so many years of Disney vacations. While on your website I started a chat that turned into a call with Lori. She took the time to explain how the website works. Within a few minutes I had created my account and listed my membership for sale. Within 3-4 weeks we received an offer and sold our membership. Thankyou Lori and DVC Sales!

Mark, today we have just received the last check for our 4th contract you sold for us. Our experience was outstanding you deserve the acknowledgement for your service. You remind me of the way customers were treated years ago. Everybody we spoke with or chatted online was friendly and helpful. Although the process took a few months, it was worth the wait. We hope the families who purchased on contracts have as much enjoyment as we have had. If anyone is looking to buy or sell a DVC membership you can use our name. Thank you again!
