sperkins+FollowEpic Universe boosts Orlando tourism for allEpic Universe’s grand opening didn’t just shake up the theme park scene—it helped set new records for tourism taxes in Central Florida. In May and June 2025, Orange County pulled in its highest-ever tourism tax revenues for those months, thanks in large part to the new park. But here’s the twist: Disney World isn’t losing out. In fact, Disney’s parks division also reported a record quarter, with more visitors and higher spending. Turns out, when one park levels up, the whole area wins. Are you more likely to visit both parks now, or does one still have your heart? #Travel #Orlando #EpicUniverse00Share

Alexander Thomas+FollowEpic Universe: Amazing, But Bring an UmbrellaUniversal’s new Epic Universe in Orlando is a total game-changer for theme park fans—think wild rides, next-level food, and insane Harry Potter magic. BUT, the whole place is basically outdoors. If it rains (which, hello, it’s Florida), you’re stuck with super long lines for the few indoor rides or scrambling for cover. Plus, the sun? Brutal. Gorgeous park, but definitely not built for Florida’s wild weather. Fingers crossed they add more shade and indoor stuff soon! #EpicUniverse #ThemePark #Orlando #Travel30Share
dylan15+FollowDisney’s Epic Plan to Outshine UniversalDisney’s not just building parks—they’re building superfans! The company’s chairman just spilled the tea: Disney’s new Abu Dhabi park is a power move to make the brand even bigger worldwide. They’re not sweating Universal’s Epic Universe, either. Instead, Disney’s focused on creating wild new attractions (think TRON coaster, Star Wars land, Guardians of the Galaxy) and pulling in millions more fans. It’s all about turning every visit into a lifelong Disney obsession. Would you travel for the magic? #DisneyParks #EpicUniverse #ThemeParks #Travel20Share
Dr. Michael Henson+FollowUniversal’s $6B Park: Hot Take or Hot Mess?Universal’s new Epic Universe park cost $6 billion, but early visitors are roasting it for having barely any shade and not enough rides. People are complaining about scorching seats, endless lines in the sun, and too few attractions to justify the $139 ticket. Some say it feels more like a city walk than a theme park. Others are loving it, but the internet is divided: is Epic Universe really ‘epic’ or just overpriced and underbuilt? #UniversalOrlando #EpicUniverse #ThemePark #Travel40Share

Brad Ramirez+FollowEpic Universe’s Wild Opening Day!Universal’s Epic Universe just opened and it was a total scene! Celebs like the Weasley twins and Gerard Butler showed up, fireworks lit up the sky, and everyone lost their minds over the new Harry Potter ride (which had a SEVEN hour wait—no joke).
