Universal Terra Luna Resort: A Cosmic Escape Like No Other

For weeks, eager travelers had their sights set on an out-of-this-world experience—only to be met with an unexpected delay. Universal Orlando Resort’s newest hotel, Terra Luna Resort, was initially set to open in February, but a last-minute postponement left guests scrambling for alternative accommodations. Now, after weeks of anticipation, the wait is finally over.

But was the delay worth it? And what does this new resort bring to the table that sets it apart from Universal’s already stellar lineup of hotels?

Inspired by the boundless wonders of space exploration, Universal’s Terra Luna Resort is designed to transport guests to another world—both literally and thematically. According to Loews, the company managing the property, Terra Luna isn’t just a place to sleep; it’s an immersive experience centered around adventure, discovery, and relaxation.

Since first stepping inside the Magic Kingdom at nine years old, I knew I was destined to be a theme Park enthusiast. Although I consider myself a theme Park junkie, I still have much to learn and discover about Disney. Universal Orlando Resort has my heart; being an Annual Passholder means visiting my favorite places on Earth when possible! When I’m not writing about Disney, Universal, or entertainment news, you’ll find me cruising on my motorcycle, hiking throughout my local metro parks, or spending quality time with my girlfriend, family, or friends.
