Guide to Shows & Entertainment at Universal Epic Universe

There’s so much to experience at Universal Epic Universe. Immersive worlds, thrilling attractions, delicious food, Captain Cacao… What am I missing? Oh, yeah: the incredible, jaw-dropping, will-make-you-believe-you-can-train-a-dragon live entertainment! Trust me when I say the shows of Epic Universe should be on your must-do list right alongside the roller coasters and Mac & Cheese Cones. (I did high school improv, so I’m sort of an expert on this.)


Read on for a complete guide to the shows and entertainment at Epic Universe, from a circus of fantastic beasts to a (seemingly) untrainable dragon and everything in between.

Full-Fat Dairy? Yes, You Can!

If you’re of a certain age, you remember the fat-free craze of the 1980s, when we all ate fat-free cheese on fat-free bread with fat-free turkey and wondered why it tasted terrible. (And we still gained weight.)


Now comes a move from the USDA and Congress to restore full-fat dairy to school lunches, which have long called for skim or low-fat milk. That might seem like a radical change, but it comes from a realization that earlier guidelines on fat were flawed.

Orlando Magic at Cleveland Cavaliers: Game Preview

One of the unfortunate realities about the NBA is that health matters.


Just ask the Indiana Pacers, who after making an NBA Finals run last season currently have the league’s second worst record without two-time All-Star Tyrese Haliburton in their lineup.


The Orlando Magic, on the other hand, have weathered the storm through injuries the past two seasons. They’ve suffered through injuries to franchise cornerstones Paolo Banchero, Franz Wagner and Jalen Suggs, and still manage to hold a 23-21 record and sit just four games back of third place in the Eastern Conference and 4 ½ back of second place.
