🌙🔥🔮🦇Dark Universe 🌙🔥🔮🦇

My final world review from Epic Universe at Universal Orlando is the one and only Dark Universe! From the experiments of Victoria Frankenstein to a twisted landscape where monsters roam, Dark Universe is a grim world of myth and mystery!

In this mysterious land, you’ll find one of the best rides in the entire park, Monsters Unchained: The Frankenstein Experiment. This ride was absolutely mind blowing in terms of having some of most technologically advanced animated figures you can imagine.

We also indulged in Das Stakehaus, which is a Quick Service spot with tasty foods served on a stake (especially LOVED the meatloaf), along with other spooky themed delicacies!

Other key highlights here include The Burning Blade Tavern (the windmill sets ablaze throughout the day), Curse of the Werewolf coaster, awesome gift shops, Darkmoor Monster Makeup Experience to live out your monster makeover dreams, and also appearances by monsters throughout the village!

I’ve been booking so many guests to visit Epic Universe, let me know if you want in on this excitement! The park officially opens May 22!

🇫🇷🎡🎪🪄 The Wizarding World of Harry Potter™ - Ministry of Magic™ 🇫🇷🎡🎪🪄

If you ask me what my favorite world is at Epic Universe at Universal Orlando, I’m not able to give a straight answer at this point. Whether you are a Harry Potter super-fan or you are someone who knows nothing about the series, it won’t matter when you are transported to Paris in the 1920’s!

I was essentially breathless when I turned the corner to get my first look. You will quickly be immersed into a magical world of cafes, shops, spots to cast spells, mystery and more! You’ll also spot the tent which leads you into Le Cirque Arcanus™, which is a show I highly recommend seeing as it’s phenomenal!

I posted on Sunday about the Harry Potter and the Battle at the Ministry™ queue (this is the lead attraction here)! Jason called this the closest thing to Virtual Reality in relation to placing us right there in the movies!

Of course you’ll find variations of Butterbeer, along with a brand new Butterbeer Crepe which is DELICIOUS!

Please reach out when you are ready to visit this jaw dropping theme park, I am here to help!

🐉🗡️🔥 How to Train Your Dragon – Isle of Berk 🐉🗡️🔥

Universal Orlando’s newest theme park, Epic Universe (officially opening May 22) has SO many incredible worlds to immerse yourself in, that I am posting them in segments!

How to Train Your Dragon – Isle of Berk truly transports you into this mythical village, and the creativity behind this place is remarkable. Guests will not only be able to meet some of their favorite dragons, but you can soar along with them on two different rides, or you can set sail on a Viking Ship and complete water challenges!

In addition to these attractions, you’ll also find a live production show (The Untrainable Dragon), Viking Training Camp (interactive play zone for kids), and delicious themed cuisine!

Of course, we had to try the snack everyone is raving about- Mac & Cheese Cones (PB&J – Pork, Bacon, and Jam and the Dragon Fire Chicken Spire) and they did not disappoint!

Contact me to plan your visit to Epic Universe and receive the best planning tips and info!

🌟🌈👑🏎️ 💕SUPER NINTENDO WORLD AT EPIC UNIVERSE HAS MY HEART 💕🌟🌈👑🏎️

Let me preface this by saying I have been to Super Nintendo World at Universal Studios Hollywood, so I was expecting a carbon copy at Epic Universe at Universal Orlando. Boy was I wrong!!!

This world was an absolute fantasy brought to life- not only is it substantially larger in size, but you’ll also find an entire world dedicated to the legend himself, Donkey Kong Country! In addition to three rides, Super Nintendo World boasts tons of mini games, themed food and snacks, character meet and greets, awesome merchandise, and much more!

Of course, let me know when you are ready to make your dreams come true and experience Epic Universe firsthand- grand opening is May 22!

WOW- we are just leaving Epic Universe at Universal Orlando and this may have been one of the best days of my life experiencing it for the first time!

I have a LOT of photos to post but tonight I’ll start with a showcase of the most incredible ride queue I have ever seen. Harry Potter and The Battle at the Ministry is a visual masterpiece, and I will say even my pictures don’t do it justice in relation to how you feel experiencing it firsthand!

I have so much more to share from the other worlds
tomorrow!❤️

Now is the time to get your trip booked to Epic Universe, as the demand is definitely increasing as we lead up to the official May 22 opening! I also have SO many tips just from my visit today to share with our guests!

Happy Friday!!!!

I feel like 2025 is flying by, so I thought I'd make an informative post about all of the deals and travel news since there is SO MUCH out there!

Here are some things to keep in mind:
🌟Epic Universe, which is Universal Orlando's third theme park, will be opening on May 22! We finally have Single Day visit options, along with Express Passes and VIP Passes as well as some great bundle & save deals!

🏰Disney World just released TONS of great specials for Summer and Fall of 2025, ranging from resort and tickets to Free Dining deals! Right now, we can only book WDW through the end of 2025, but definitely reach out to join our 2026 Guest List as we anticipate 2026 rates will be available in the next couple of months!

🛳️Cruise deals are abundant! If you are considering a cruise for Midwinter or Spring Break 2026, NOW is the the to book to take advantage of early pricing, as the rates gradually increase as the ships fill up, and we also have a Best Price Guarantee where we can lower your rate if it drops after you deposit! Booking now can save you hundreds to thousands off of what you will be paying if you book later in the year or last minute next year! We also have some great Onboard Credit promotions available for many cruise lines!

🏝️We also have some fantastic All Inclusive Offers, and one of our favorite resorts, Beaches Turks & Caicos just released rates for their new Treasure Beach Village opening in March of 2026!

This will probably be one of my favorite stories to tell for the rest of my life….🤣🤣🤣

I am obsessed with music trivia, and I’ve been coined a “Human Shazam” by many, and I get very animated when watching the Name That Tune game show on TV.

Fast forward to this week- on the 4 Night Royal Caribbean Utopia of the Seas cruises, they have THE official Name That Tune production complete with live music and dancers-it’s truly incredible to watch!

Contestants are picked by a random raffle (you can arrive early to sign up). Jason knew this was my dream, so we arrive early to the first show, I am so sad when of course I don’t get picked.

We are all in, so we eat a quick pizza dinner at Sorrento’s and come back for Show 2 registration. Jason is signed up to get me an extra chance, and his name gets drawn from probably 100+ entries. However, they are no-negosh on letting us swap, and demand Jason as the contestant!🤣🤣🤣🤣

Needless to say, he is SUCH a trooper and rolls with it, and ends up making top 4! Those who know us know Jason balances me out being the more reserved one!

I suppose I’ll have to try again on a future cruise to live out my dream, but I will say it was SO fun to see Jason get to play!!!❤️❤️❤️

And I am back in my office today for those who need anything! The cruise was a nice little break, but it’s time to start planning your Spring Break 2026 trips!☺️

Yesterday Lauren Koller - Wishes and Wonders Travel Agency and I did one of the most fun things I have ever experienced at Universal Orlando!

During our training event, we wrapped up our events with the Float & Dine Package which is a special option that we can book for our guests! You receive a three course meal at select dining locations (tableside guacamole at Antojitos was 🔥), and then you are able to ride a Mardi Gras parade float and toss beads to guests (note you must be at least 48” tall to participate)!

I have seen this parade so many times as it’s offered pretty much every day of the Mardi Gras Season at Universal Studios Florida park, but it was unreal to see it from the other side and witness the joy and excitement that it brings to guests!

Of course, be sure to keep us in mind when booking your next Universal vacation as we are recognized as one of the best in our industry in their U-Preferred Travel Agency program!

This morning we sadly returned from our one week cruise on Royal Caribbean’s Wonder of the Seas!

Yesterday was our final day of the trip and it was spent in my happy place, Perfect Day at CocoCay! It was Cousin Kate’s birthday, so of course we celebrated in style and booked a cabana at Hideaway Beach Club (basically an oasis for adults on the island)!

I’m back in the office all week and will be catching back up on everything (including sending out all of the prizes from our anniversary bonanza😛)!!

Of course, you know who to reach out to for all of your vacation needs!

🏝️🛳️Greetings from St. Thomas!🛳️🏝️

I’ve been on a mission to try new excursions when possible, so we purchased day passes to the Westin Resort. It’s roughly a 15-20 minute cab ride from the cruise port, approx $12-$14 per guest each way (similar to the cost of a cab to visit Magens Bay which is an awesome beach here).

In the spirit of maintaining my honesty, I’ll try to sum this experience up to the best of my ability. It was a pretty resort, and the pools were nice. However, the vibe here was off - it wasn’t fun, the hotel guests were fairly rude (a crazy geriatric man went ballistic on me for accidentally taking his chair that was not clearly reserved), there wasn’t music playing, I’d sum it up as “blah”. It was technically family friendly, but I would not recommend it to any of my guests with higher energy kids if that makes sense!

Above all, this is exactly why using an experienced Travel Advisor such as myself or my team is key. I’m not afraid to invest my time and money on research so my guests are provided with guidance and assurance their vacation investment is the right fit!❤️❤️❤️
