Welp, After This Announcement, I Know Where My Paycheck Is Being Spent at Epic Universe

We can’t contain our excitement! We are heading into Epic Universe, and we will be sharing a first look inside Universal’s brand-new theme park with all of you.

Before we headed into the park itself, we got a chance to check out the brand-new hotel, Universal Helios Grand Hotel.  We also got a look at some of the new wands coming to Epic Universe!

These new wands can be found at Cosme Acajor Baguettes Magique in Place Cachée in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter — Ministry of Magic at Epic Universe! We got a chance to get a sneak peek at some of the new wands that are coming to the store, and we think they look beautiful.

The owner of the wand shop, esteemed artisan wandmaker Cosme Acajor, believes the wizard should choose their own wand instead of letting the wand pick the wizard. Universal revealed, “Her unique approach to wandlore and Parisian couture influence come together to create not only a fine wand, but a work of art.”

While Universal previously gave us a first look at the new wands coming to Epic Universe, we loved getting to see them in person! Back in February, Universal gave us a look at nine designs that will be coming to Cosme Acajor Baguettes Magique.

Not only are the wand designs gorgeous, but we also think the boxes are fantastic looking! We can’t wait to explore the new Wizarding World of Harry Potter — Ministry of Magic and give these new wands a try!

In addition to these new wands coming to Epic Universe, you can also grab brand-new second-generation wands right now at Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure.

The second-generation wands feature new light effects, as well as an app feature that tracks your progress as you complete adventures with your wand. Also, there were new spells added in the parks. We tested these new wands out recently and had lots of fun!

Epic Universe officially opens on May 22nd, but we are getting the opportunity to head inside early as media, and we are taking you all along with us. Make sure to stay tuned to AllEars as we are bringing you FULL coverage of Epic Universe!

We Just Went to Universal Helios Grand Hotel for the First Time. Here’s an EXCLUSIVE LOOK Inside!
