Ep. 395 - Bonus - It's Going to be Epic: Why You Might Want to Visit Universal Before or After a Disney Cruise with Unofficial Guide Author Seth Kubersky

Seth Kubersky, author of The Unofficial Guide to Universal 2024, joins us this week to discuss why you might want to visit Universal before or after your next Disney Cruise Line (or Disney parks vacation). Universal is currently building the first theme park of the 21st Century - Epic Universe. Slated to open in Summer 2025, Epic Universe will bring together Super Mario Land, Harry Potter and the Ministry of Magic, How to Train Your Dragon, and Dark Universe. It will also see Universal open three new hotels, including the new Helios hotel that will connect directly into Epic Universe. With its two current parks (Universal Studios Florida and Islands of Adventure) as well as multiple hotels, and it's Volcano Bay waterpark - Universal Orlando is already a compelling destination for families and thrill seekers. Come find out why you might want to check it out the next time you're in Orlando for a DCL adenture.
