Universal’s Stella Nova Resort Opens With Organized ‘Chaos’ – A Stella Nova Resort Review

The opening day of anything comes with its ups and downs, and the opening of Universal’s newest resort, Stella Nova, was no exception. This Prime Value resort, located adjacent to the all new Universal Epic Universe theme park, was one I had opening day reservations for since April of 2024. And on Tuesday, January 21, I was excited to experience its grand opening.

In this article, I’ll let you know my first day thoughts that kicked off my five day four night stay at Universal’s newest resort hotel and how it compares to the Disney resort hotels I have experienced.

World Showcase vs. The Real World vs. Epcot’s Origins: A Study In Culture and Time By Lew Wasserman’s Ghost

On this week’s (1/16) T3PO Live show (now airing live every Thursday at 4 pm, so don’t miss it, thanks) we began with a discussion of the truly silly and inappropriate new “recycled material” costumes for the American Adventure’s “Voices Of Liberty” acapella singers…and then meandered into EPCOT and particularly World Showcase in general when one of the chatters asked us (Vash, Joshua, Nolan, Erika, Ron and I) about the potential for new countries joining the circle around the lagoon.

SeaWorld Orlando is about to get a flavorful upgrade as Chick-fil-A prepares to open its doors in the park.

The beloved fast-food chain will be serving its famous chicken sandwiches, nuggets, and waffle fries to guests at the marine-themed park starting this summer via a Kiosk near the Manta attraction and Seaport Theater. The new restaurant will replace the former Captain Pete’s Island Hot Dogs and will be situated in the heart of the park, promising convenience and a crowd-pleasing menu for visitors. This addition reflects SeaWorld’s ongoing efforts to revitalize its brand and attract a broader audience.
