Now that life is getting back to normal around these the world, Universal Orlando Resort have given an update to all the big happenings on rides, attractions, places to eat and stay at Universal Orlando Resort.
So, enough with the daydreaming, get planning your next trip to Universal Orlando Resort.
WHAT’S NEW IN HOTELS
No matter how long your planning on spending at Universal Orlando Resort, checking into one of the resorts new hotels is starting off your vacation on the right foot and without breaking budget.
At Universal’s Endless Summer Resort you can take your pick between Dockside Inn and Suites & Surfside Inn and Suites. As all other Universal Orlando Resort hotels, these are also uniquely themed and will surely get you into beach-life mode as soon as you check in.
Located in the heart of Orlando, with easy access to the best the city has to offer, the resorts are both a 5 to 10-minute shuttle ride away from Universal CityWalk and theme parks.
Both hotels have huge pools? The one at Surfside is, of course, shaped like a surfboard. And it doesn’t matter if you’re traveling solo or with that huge family of yours: at either hotel, you have the option of booking 2-bedroom suites.
You can also find exclusive options of food and drinks and get park perks, such as Early Park Admission up to one hour before the gates open.
WHAT’S NEW IN FOOD AND BEVERAGE
Head to TODAY Cafe as soon as you walk through the famous arches at Universal Studios for breakfast, it was designed to look and feel like you’re on the set of NBC’s long-running show The TODAY Show.
Feel free to go beyond coffee: try the avocado toast, the chocolate croissant, or the acai bowl.
While still in Universal Studios, go for lunch at the newest hotspot: Central Park Crêpes. Made to order, the crepes are unbelievably fresh and delicious — and sooo worth the wait.
It’s hard to pick a favorite, but I’ll go with the new option on the menu, the Plant-Based Chick’n. It’s a quick bite that’ll leave you thinking about its many different flavors for hours.
WHAT’S NEW IN ENTERTAINMENT
No one brings the magic of movies to real life quite like Universal. We’ve seen it for decades in countless attractions, rides, and shows. But The Bourne Stuntacular is something else.
The name gives (most of) it away: a spectacular stunt show. But not just that: it’s a fusion between intense storytelling, the best of stagecraft, and state-of-the-art technology. I’m talking 28-feet-tall and 130-feet-wide LED screen with over 19 million pixels…
WHAT’S NEW IN RIDES
Jurassic World VelociCoaster is a whole new species of roller coaster. I mean, have you heard it’s the fastest and tallest coaster in Florida? And that it doesn’t hit the brakes until the end? In fact, when you think the vehicle is finally slowing down, it speeds up even more — up to 70 mph in 3 seconds. Man, it’s fast — lift-you-off-your-seat-your-eyes-start-to-water fast.
Definitely not your average coaster. It’s more like a 4,700 feet long full-on immersive dip into Jurassic World that’ll launch you up to the 155-feet apex just before… Nah, can’t ruin all the fun for you. But I will tell you this: riding VelociCoaster is that boost of self-confidence that’ll leave you feeling like there’s nothing you can’t do!
It doesn’t really matter if you’re a Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, or Slytherin. Or even if you’re a roller coaster enthusiast just in this for the amazingly themed queue. There’s only one rule in regards to this ride: Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure is a must-do. Located in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Hogsmeade in Islands of Adventure, it has set the theme-park-attractions bar to its highest.
This story roller coaster fusion is a truly immersive and magical experience that’ll take you beyond the grounds of Hogwarts, to the edge of the Forbidden Forrest, and bring you closer to some of the Wizarding World’s rarest magical creatures while aboard an enchanted motorbike that goes 50 mph. There are a few more surprises along the way, but I’m not about to give them away — ah, I wish I could see your face as your step off the ride! And since I’m sure you’ll be riding it more than once, we recommend experiencing the ride in both the motorbike and sidecar. Both are breathtaking!
WHAT’S NEW IN STORES
Head straight to the all-new Universal Studios Store on the right-hand side of CityWalk,
The Resort’s new huge flagship is classy, not at all cluttered, and a perfect combination of the must-take-home mementos. Plus, I love the way it’s set up: maaany different sections dedicated to lands and characters. If it sounds like you could spend hours here, that’s because you can. Especially if you’re a Jurassic fan or a Potterhead!
