Mom Approved Travel takes away the overwhelm of planning a Universal Epic Universe trip by helping you with everything from the best time to travel, where to stay, how long to stay, what to do, dining reservations, assistance with transportation, giving you tips and tricks along the way to make the most of your precious vacation time and dollars in a way that fits YOUR family.

With convenient themed hotels like Universal Helios Grand Hotel, epic attractions, delicious dining options, immersion in the the Wizarding World of Harry Potter- Ministry of Magic, a wide variety of fun for all ages and thrill levels, a Universal Orlando Resort vacation including Universal Epic Universe has everything you need for an absolutely epic vacation experience for the whole family!

At Mom Approved Travel, one of our core beliefs is Moms should get to have fun on her Universal vacation too. What that means is, Mom should actually enjoy going on vacation – she should not be stressing or spending her precious time worrying about which attractions are kid-friendly, how to handle early entry, where to find Butterbeer, how best to navigate Universal Epic Universe, Universal Studios or Islands of Adventure, spending hours researching all the packing things, or making sure she doesn’t miss an important payment, activity, or deadline. Mom can spend her time and energy elsewhere (like finding the right Hogwarts house shirts for everyone) when she partners with Mom Approved Travel!

What is there to do at Epic Universe?

Epic Universe has 5 worlds of incredible family fun for all ages!

Epic Universe is Universal Orlando Resorts fourth theme park and is comprised of five individual worlds, and accessed through Chronos “portals” located in the central hub of Celestial Park.

We don not have an exact Universal Epic Universe opening date, we DO know we can not wait for this incredible immersive and innovative new park to open in 2025!

Celestial Park

Your Epic Universe experience will start here. Adam Rivest, executive producer for Celestial Park explains a bit of the storyline: “Chronos is this giant machine used to harness the energy of the Universe that powers all of Celestial Park, allowing us to open the portals to other worlds.”

You’ll have access to four portals, which will transport you to the new, immersive worlds full of fun offering a little something for all ages!

While inside Celestial Park, you can experience:
