Universal Orlando Hires Danny Elfman to Compose the Music for Epic Universe

Universal Orlando Hires Danny Elfman to Compose the Music for Epic Universe

Legendary composer Danny Elfman has been tapped to compose music for Universal Orlando’s Epic Universe

Dark Universe, a Universal-Monstors-themed land that will call the upcoming Epic Universe theme park home, is seemingly getting an epic musical score. Danny Elfman, renowned for his collaborations with director Tim Burton on films such as “The Nightmare Before Christmas,” has been tapped to compose the music for the new land.

Elfman, in an interview with Deadline, mentioned that he is currently dividing his time between various types of music projects, including classical, rock and roll, and notably, “monster music” for a theme park in Orlando. Given the context and the development of the Epic Universe, it seems the only park Elfman could be plausibly referring to that this music is Epic Universe.

Elfman is widely known for his involvement in a myriad of other notable projects. In the same interview with Deadline, he noted he is excited about returning to the world of “Beetlejuice” for a sequel and has also worked on the score for the TV series “Wednesday,” executive-produced by Tim Burton. Despite his success, Elfman related he is never happy with the status quo and is always pushing himself to “keep working on new, challenging things.”

Elfman’s expansive career includes work with other directors like Sam Raimi, contributing to films such as “Spider-Man,” “Spider-Man 2,” “Meet the Robinsons,” and “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.” His versatility across different genres of music, from film scoring to theme park attractions, continues to demonstrate his significant influence in the world of music and entertainment.

We have your first look at the resort hotel rooms now available for booking at the all-new Stella Nova & Terra Luna Resorts

Universal’s Epic Universe Theme Park is currently slated to open sometime in 2025. The massive theme park will contain a variety of themed lands, including Super Nintendo World (confirmed), How To Train Your Dragon Land (rumored), and an extension of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter (rumored). While we do not have a confirmed opening date for the park, we recently learned two of the Epic Universe Resort Hotels, Stella Nova & Terra Luna Resort, are now accepting reservations for stays beginning January 2025. We have your first look at what the hotel rooms will look like in these new resort hotels.

Stella Nova Resort

Stella Nova Resort, which will open to guests on January 21, 2025, will feature a total of 750 guest rooms. Rooms are available in either standard or pool view, and all are 315 square feet and sleep up to 4.

Both room types feature amenities such as 2 queen beds, a flat-screen TV, a mini-refrigerator, and a coffee maker. The decor of the rooms features sleek curves and subtle colors which are designed to invoke thoughts of traversing through space.

The bathrooms will contain your typical sink/toilet/shower layout, and have a modern look and feel. The resort will also feature Mobility Accessible and Hearing Accessible rooms, both in the standard and pool-view categories, upon opening. Mobile accessible rooms contain a tub with grab bars, handheld shower, toilet with grab bars, and doors with 36″ wide openings. The hearing-accessible rooms include a visual alarm and doorbell, a flashing light on the phone, and an outlet near the phone for TTY access.

Terra Luna Resort

terra-luna-room

Terra Luna Resort is slated to open to guests shortly after Stella Nova, on February 25, 2025. The resort is a sister resort to Stella Nova and also features 750 guest rooms with similar amenities. The main difference guests will notice between Terra Luna and Stella Nova is the aesthetics, with the rooms at Terra Luna resort being styled with “sweeping curves, terrestrial tones, and an eye-catching, spaceship-styled window, inspire thoughts of exploring new worlds.”

The layout, size, and amenities of the rooms at both resorts are the same. Terra Luna will also offer both standard and pool view rooms that are 315 square feet and will also have both Mobility Accessible and Hearing Accessible rooms available.

Both resorts are now accepting reservations for their opening dates. While the hotels will open before Epic Universe, guests will still be able to enjoy early park entry at Islands of Adventure and Universal Studios Florida, as well as complimentary resort transportation, while staying at these new resorts.

Construction on Universal Orlando’s Epic Universe is continuing at an impressive pace. We recently revealed the two on-property resort hotels are now taking reservations for stays beginning in January 2025, with the entire Epic Universe theme park slated to open at some point in the same year. As we enter into 2024, bioreconstruct has shared updated photos on X which demonstrate some impressive progress at the park.

The buildings in Super Nintendo World are beginning to take shape, with Peaches Castle coming together nicely. Just above Peaches Castle, you can see one of the domes that will make up the center of Epic Universe.

Yoshi’s Adventure, one of the attractions that will be found in Super Nintendo World, has cars installed on the track.

This location is believed to be the extension of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter to the new park, which will be set in France and contain the Ministry of Magic.

The facade of Dark Universe is also being installed, giving us a view of how this area will look when the park opens. You can see the frame for the pool bar for the resort that will be located INSIDE the park just above Dark Universe.

This closer look at the new in-park resort shows the lobby entrance will guests will enter the hotel.

This image shows how close the in-park hotel will be to the rest of Epic Universe.

Disney Vacation Club Plans on Bringing More Exclusive Spaces to Members

Disney Vacation Club is set to expand member-exclusive spaces

Disney Vacation Club (DVC), known for offering magical experiences to its members, is reportedly planning to expand its exclusive member spaces soon. These members-only lounges have become a hit since the first one opened in 2016 at EPCOT, offering a cool and quiet escape from the hustle and bustle of the theme park. These member lounges allow a respite from the hustle and bustle of the parks where DVC owners can enjoy complimentary refreshments, charge their devices, and even get assistance from Cast Members for various needs.

In 2023, Disneyland’s Star View Station brought these popular features to the west coast, offering similar amenities. The previous year, the Top of the World Lounge – A Villain’s Lair, reopened at Walt Disney World with a fresh theme and special events exclusively for qualifying DVC owners. These lounges have not only provided a place of relaxation but have also created a sense of community among DVC members.

At the 2023 Condo Association meeting, Bill Diercksen, the VP and General Manager of Disney Vacation Club, acknowledged the popularity of these lounges. He hinted at plans to create more such community spaces, particularly at Walt Disney World, further enhancing the DVC membership experience.

While the details about these new spaces, including their locations and features, remain under wraps, the possibilities are exciting. They could pop up anywhere across Disney’s vast array of parks and resorts, from theme and water parks to Disney Springs and various DVC resorts. Remember the Attic at Disney’s BoardWalk Inn & Villas? It once served as a DVC lounge, and its current use for private events shows the potential for such spaces.

DVC owners looking to access these exclusive lounges need to qualify for Membership Extras, which generally requires ownership of at least 150 points purchased directly from DVC. For those who met earlier criteria, they might already be eligible under the grandfathered rules.

Although no specific timeline has been set for revealing more details, Diercksen’s promise of “soon” keeps the anticipation high. This expansion is a clear sign of DVC’s commitment to enhancing its members’ experiences, making their Disney adventures even more special and community-focused.
