If you’re visiting Walt Disney World Resort, Universal Orlando Resort or the SeaWorld Parks in 2025, you won’t want to miss these updates, attractions, and shows.

The theme park capital of the world is always expanding and changing, so you can always expect something new when you visit. Whether you’re planning a trip at the beginning of the year or waiting until the summer holidays, there are plenty of reasons to visit Orlando in 2025, from brand-new attractions to refurbished classics, and even a whole new theme park.

 

Universal Orlando Resort

Universal Epic Universe

Of course we can’t talk about 2025 in Orlando without mentioning the main event; the opening of Universal Epic Universe. This is the brand new theme park coming to Universal Orlando Resort, taking their total up to four, officially opening its gates on 22nd May 2025. This park will be made up of five immersive lands - Celestial Park, SUPER NINTENDO WORLD, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter - Ministry of Magic, How to Train Your Dragon - Isle of Berk, and Dark Universe.

 

 

New Universal Hotels

If you want the chance to be one of the first people to stay in a brand-new Universal Orlando Resort hotel, 2025 is the year you should book your stay. For anyone planning a visit at the beginning of the year, Universal Stella Nova Resort and Universal Terra Luna Resort open in January and February respectively. If you’re visiting after 22nd May, you can book a stay at Universal Helios Grand Hotel, a Loews Hotel, which will place you right at the heart of the action, as this hotel will have its very own entrance to Universal Epic Universe!

Disney Starlight

There hasn’t been a nighttime parade at Walt Disney World Resort since the Main Street Electrical Parade finished in 2016, but not for long! A brand new nighttime parade, Disney Starlight, will be coming to Magic Kingdom Park in summer 2025, being brought to life by the magic of the Blue Fairy. This parade will feature Characters from classic films like Peter Pan, as well as newer films including Frozen and Encanto.

Disney Villains Stage Show

The Disney Villains are taking over Sunset Showcase at Disney’s Hollywood Studios!  From summer 2025, you can join Captain Hook, Maleficent, and Cruella de Vil in the reflective realm of the Magic Mirror for some fiendish fun. The Disney Villains are also set to get a whole new land in Magic Kingdom Park in the future, but we’ll have to wait a little bit longer to experience that!

 

Test Track Reimagined

Test Track, presented by Chevrolet, is currently undergoing an extensive refurbishment to give guests at EPCOT an even more thrilling and innovative experience in 2025. The updated version of this beloved attraction will still have all the same twists and turns as before, but with all-new onboard technology, scenery, and storytelling.

SeaWorld Orlando

Immersive Flying Experience

A new immersive indoor theatre experience is coming to SeaWorld Orlando in spring 2025. This attraction will take you on a breathtaking journey above snow-capped mountains and glaciers, through the Aurora Borealis, and up close to beluga whales, orcas and more marine life. The show will be a 4.5 minute adventure for the whole family to enjoy, bringing education and excitement together.

 

Busch Gardens

Wild Oasis

A whole new area known as Wild Oasis will be opening at Busch Gardens in spring 2025, that will have engaging and interactive experiences for guests of all ages. Thrill-seekers can enjoy a drop-tower ride and a high-energy climbing canopy, while younger guests can stay on the ground as they explore a multi-species habitat and water play areas. Plus there’ll be a scavenger hunt exploring the relationships between different species in the rainforest.
