Creator's Key Takeaways
This trip is not sponsored by Universal. Um, and it's not a press trip or anything.
I have heard nothing but good things about this park and I cannot wait to get started.
It's exceptional. It's really exceptional. Universal has been stepping up their game year over year, but this is another level.
The music is amazing as well. Wow.

I'm travelling to Universal Orlando Resort's NEWEST theme park, Universal Epic Universe! In this vlog series, I'll be covering the whole park, exploring Epic Universe's food, merchandise, rides, all five worlds and the entertainment. In this travel day vlog to Orlando, Florida, I fly with Virgin Atlantic in Upper Class and check-in to the new prime value hotel, Universal Stella Nova Resort, before heading into the park to explore Celestial Park. ✨🔑 JOIN THE MOOOORNING CLUB: https://www.patreon.com/adamhattan Unlock the magic within, with exclusive access to bonus content, a members Instagram, entries to competitions, welcome gifts and more (subject to membership tier). ✨ I’m Adam Hattan, a family-friendly theme park and vacation vlogger from the UK.

This trip is not sponsored or gifted by Universal Orlando Resort. I start my travel day vlog adventure at Heathrow Terminal 3's Virgin Atlantic Upper Class wing. Here I let you know what's coming up in this vlog series and check-in for my Upper Class flight to Orlando International. At the airport, I take the time to update you on what's available in the terminal 3 departures lounge. I check out the current shops and restaurants, American Express Centurion Lounge, and the children's play area, before heading to the Virgin Atlantic Clubhouse. Onboard my flight, I watch How to Train Your Dragon, the original Universal Monsters Film of Frankenstein, and the Super Mario Bros. Movie, all in an attempt to get ready for the five immersive worlds at Universal Epic Universe theme park. I also share and review the flight, including what I ate onboard and which in-flight movies were currently available to watch. Once at Orlando International Airport (MCO), I check out the Universal Orlando Resort shop and the Epic Universe specific pop-up. I then get my private transfer with a quick stop at Publix. Arriving at the new Prime Value hotel of Universal Stella Nova Resort, I check-in for my two night stay in a 2 queen standard room, with a view of Epic Universe! Here I give you a full room tour of this standard room at Stella Nova and my thoughts/review. I then board the resort bus from Stella Nova over to CityWalk. How long does the drive from Stella Nova to CityWalk take? Well I'll show you! Once at CityWalk, I explore the Epic Universe preview center, and vlog the scale model to better illustrate the theme park layout and which worlds I'll soon be exploring. I then meet-up with my friends @CheersEars for a quick dinner at NBC Sports Grill & Brew, which we vlog and review for you. How long does it take to get from CityWalk to Epic Universe? Again, I'll show you exactly how long, as I take the bus directly to Epic Universe bus station from CityWalk’s bus station. Arriving at the theme park, I show you where guest services is, the closest restrooms, where you can buy tickets, the VIP entrance and where security is. Once through security and after scanning my ticket, I point out guest services, first aid, lockers and rentals, before stepping through the Universal Epic Universe chronos and into the first EPIC world of Celestial Park. Once inside Celestial Park, I take my time to enjoy the first moments inside this brand new theme park. If this is any indication of what's to come with Universal Studios Great Britain/UK/Bedford, we're in for a treat! I show each of the four portals that lead to the other worlds, the fountain show, and ride both tracks of Stardust Racers and the Constellation Carousel. I also review my first impressions of Epic Universe for you. Be sure to subscribe and turn on 🔔 notifications so you don’t miss the rest of this EPIC adventure!
