In this episode of Orlando Backlot, I break down a massive week for Universal Orlando. From the new 53,886 square foot, 20.6 million dollar event space at Epic Universe to permanent fireworks launch pads and the rumored Celestial Good Night nighttime show, it is clear Universal is building for something much bigger.I get into the new six and seven day ticket rollout, with prices starting around 65 dollars per day, plus the 300 dollar hotel dining credit for qualifying stays. I also unpack the transportation battle between The Boring Company, Sunshine Connection Partners, and Balfour Beatty, and what that could mean for the future of getting around the resort.I talk about the plaque added in Celebration for Adam the Woo, what that means to me personally, and I wrap with a quick Disney update as the competition in Orlando keeps heating up.Orlando Backlot.
