I have an even better idea of how to get to Epic Universe after this week.
Hello, my fellow theme park companions. It’s Haley.

We’ve talked a lot about all the attractions being built inside Universal Orlando’s fourth theme park, but one thing that hasn’t gotten a lot of attention is the construction on the outskirts.
A pivotal north-to-south corridor will connect Epic Universe to the main Universal campus. With construction well underway, it was time to get some updated visuals of a key component of this new thoroughfare. An elevated traffic circle will serve Epic Universe and surrounding businesses.
I joined Trooper Steve on Patrol and did a ride-along about Epic Universe and the new traffic pattern.
By the way, if you plan on staying on Universal property when Epic Universe is open, there will be complimentary transportation connecting the entire Universal Orlando Resort destination.
Sea Life Orlando
Dive into Europa 🌕
ICON Park has a cool exclusive science exhibit.
Ahead of the launch next month, Sea Life Orlando is hosting NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) “Voyage of Europa Clipper: Exploring an Alien Ocean” exhibit.
The Europa Clipper mission is set to explore Jupiter’s moon with the spacecraft making dozens of close flybys. Europa is believed to hold more water than all of Earth’s oceans combined.
The exhibit runs Sept. 28-29.
SeaWorld Orlando
The cutest Alaskan ambassador 🍼
Knowing that this little face is calling SeaWorld Orlando home makes me all the more excited to visit Wild Arctic.
Abandoned and then rescued in Alaska, the 220-pound walrus calf will need time to acclimate before greeting guests in her habitat. SeaWorld Orlando was chosen for Uki because of the staff’s experience with walrus care.
You can read all about Uki’s story by clicking here.
Wild Arctic has a new animal and it’s also getting a new attraction. Just last week, SeaWorld announced its new immersive “flying” experience.

Walt Disney World
Celebrating Cuban and Colombian heritage 🎨
Disney Springs is more than just Disney World’s shopping and dining district. The Canvas of Expression is always worth a stroll through as the showcase is constantly evolving,
For Hispanic and Latin Heritage Month, Miami-based muralist Nicole Salgar painted “Viaje Despierto.” Her family is from Cuba and Colombia and said those two cultures have strongly influenced her career.
Salgar spoke to News 6′s Ezzy Castro following the unveiling of the mural.
