Universal Studios Orlando – Day 4: Epic Universe, Round Two!
From defeating Bowser to riding every attraction in Epic Universe, day four was a whirlwind of thrills, magic, and even a night swim under the stars at Stella Nova.
Day 4 brought us back to Epic Universe, and it was just as magical, thrilling, and awe-inspiring as our first visit—if not even more so! While some of our crew was definitely feeling the effects of a busy week (theme park legs are real!), I’m so proud of everyone for digging deep and pushing through. It paid off—we managed to ride every single attraction in the park today! 🎢✨
One of the best parts of the day was returning to the lands we didn’t fully explore the first time. Highlights included:
- 🏛️ Ministry of Magic – immersive, mind-blowing, and totally next-level
- 🍌 Donkey Kong Mine Cart Madness – a ride like no other, and a massive hit with the whole family
We also dove deep into Super Nintendo World, and this time we were all-in with our Power-Up Bands. We played every game in the land, collecting digital keys and coins, and finally defeated Bowser in the big finale battle to win the Golden Mushroom! 🎮🏆 Talk about a proud gamer moment!
And one of the cutest highlights? Meeting Toad! 🍄 We got a photo with him, and the kids were over the moon. He was just as adorable in person as you'd imagine.
Lunch was at Pizza Moon, and it totally hit the spot—flavorful, fun, and fast. A great break before diving into more adventures.
The kids also practiced spells at the Harry Potter Portal and sipped on frothy Butterbeers in between rides, and their joy was contagious. 🪄💫
We wrapped up the day with night swimming back at Stella Nova—a peaceful, starry way to unwind after another unforgettable day.
Tomorrow is our final day, and while we’re not ready for the magic to end, we’re soaking in every last second. 💛🌌
