No one who books a new hotel wants to hear the words “delayed opening.” However, it is an unfortunate reality from time to time.

Today, Universal Orlando announced a delayed opening for one of the new hotels. Universal Terra Nova Resort will have a delayed opening.

Universal Terra Nova Resort was originally scheduled to open on February 25, 2025. However, now it will open on March 25, 2025. The delay is a full month.

What this Means for Guests
