There’s a NEW place to stay in Orlando, and this hotel (and everything in it) is STUNNING! The brand-new Universal Stella Nova Resort is opening on January 21st, 2025, and you can find this resort right next to the all-new Universal Epic Universe theme park, which opens on May 22nd, 2025.

We got to check out this hotel before it officially opens and you know we made a beeline straight for the gift shop! What’s for sale at Universal’s Stella Nova Resort, and are there any exclusive souvenirs available now? Let’s take a look!

Time to go shopping! A TON of Epic Universe merchandise is available at this hotel and we couldn’t wait to check it all out, so let’s do it!

Kicking things off with a TON of new Epic Universe-themed souvenirs including shirts, hats, mugs, cups, backpacks, pants, shorts, towels, and more!

We also spotted plenty of merchandise from each of the lands that will be featured at Epic Universe, like Super Nintendo World. It looks like you’ll be able to shop character headbands, shirts, pillows, water bottles, and more…

…plus, there are plenty of character-specific souvenirs! We saw Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, Toad, Donkey Kong, Yoshi, and Bowser, each with their own swag to take home depending on who is your favorite.

If you’re a fan of the new How To Train Your Dragon — Isle of Berk land coming to Epic Universe, you’ll be able to shop for those souvenirs here, too.

Who’s ready for Dark Universe and all things Universal Monsters?! We know we are, and so is the Stella Nova gift shop. You’ll find photo frames, backpacks…

…keychains, lanyards, magnets…

…shirts, hoodies, dolls, and more.

Don’t even get us started on how excited we are to see the Wizarding World of Harry Potter — Ministry of Magic at Epic Universe. But, we’ve got a sneak peek at the merch we can expect! Of course, there are house shirts, ties, headbands, and hats…

…plus a whole lot of wands!

We even spotted this new Dolores Umbridge wand! She’s the worst, but this wand is cool.

There are also new WAND HOLSTERS which might be the coolest thing we’ve ever seen.

There’s also quite a bit of Ministry-specific merchandise, like these Metrofloo shirts, hats, and cups.

We’re not kidding — there is SO much Epic Universe merchandise available here, we could hardly even handle it!

And, since we’ll get to explore Paris in the Wizarding World, of course, there are house BERETS!

The Stella Nova Resort has a gorgeous, open lobby. The color palette is light and bright, with a galaxy of colors represented in the artwork and decorations. The hotel is inspired by the “infinite vastness of the unexplored universe,” which fits in quite nicely with the new Epic Universe theme park next door. You’ll see gorgeous galaxies and shooting stars all around the hotel. It’s a real treat to see in person!

Universal confirmed that Epic Universe is accessible via a walking path or complimentary shuttle. If you want to visit Universal Orlando’s other theme parks or Universal CityWalk, you can take a complimentary shuttle.

We can’t wait to visit the new Epic Universe theme park! We’re getting closer to the grand opening every day. For now, it’s time to soak in the vibes and enjoy the new hotel. In the meantime, we’re always on the lookout for the latest Universal news, so stay tuned for more.
