⚡️ Something dark and magical is returning to Universal Orlando this fall… ⚡️

If you’re a Harry Potter fan, you’re going to want to hear about this! 🖤🪄

Starting August 27, the Death Eaters will once again be lurking throughout Diagon Alley™ on select nights.

Then beginning September 5, Hogsmeade™ comes alive after dark with Dark Arts at Hogwarts™ Castle. Think dramatic music, lights, and magical projections transforming Hogwarts Castle into an incredible nighttime experience.

And because apparently Universal knows exactly how to tempt me, there’s also new Dark Arts merchandise, including a 2nd-generation interactive Lord Voldemort™ wand. 🪄

The Dark Arts experiences run on select nights through November 1, 2026, making this the perfect time for a fall visit, especially as we celebrate 25 years of Harry Potter magic on the big screen!!

When you picture Scotland, what comes to mind?

🌿 The Highlands
Rolling green landscapes, peaceful lochs, historic castles, and scenic drives through some of Europe's most beautiful countryside.

OR

🏙️ The Cities
Edinburgh's timeless charm, Glasgow's vibrant culture, exceptional dining, beautiful hotels, and fascinating history around every corner.

The beauty of Scotland is that you don't have to choose. Many of the most memorable itineraries combine both the dramatic landscapes of the Highlands with the history, culture, and elegance of its cities.

But I'm curious...

Which experience are you drawn to?

🌿 The Highlands
🏙️ Edinburgh & Glasgow

Share your answer in the comments! And if Scotland has been on your list, I'd love to help you create an itinerary that brings together the experiences that matter most to you.

There’s a really great new offer just released for Universal Orlando Resort, and I wanted to share it with you right away 🎢

When you purchase a 3-day ticket, you’ll receive 2 additional days completely free!That gives you 5 days to experience everything at a more relaxed, enjoyable pace.

This includes access to:
✨ Universal Studios Florida
✨ Islands of Adventure
✨ Epic Universe

You also have the option to add Volcano Bay if you’d like to mix in a water park day 💦

Your 5 park days can be used within a 7-day window, which makes this a really nice fit for a full, well-paced vacation without feeling rushed.

Behind the scenes, I’m currently reviewing all of my existing Universal bookings and active quotes to see where I can apply this offer and create additional savings where possible, so if you’re already working with me, I’ve got you covered.

If you’ve been thinking about a Universal trip, this is a great time to explore options. I’d be happy to walk through what this could look like for your travel dates and help you make the most of it.
