Universal Orlando Resort’s new nighttime spectacular wasn’t the only thing putting on a show this week.
Greetings, friends. It’s Haley.

When Universal Epic Universe opened its doors, it immediately set a new standard for theme park experiences.
But there was one thing missing: a fitting finale to close out the night in style.
I was invited to experience the debut of Universal Celestial Goodnight.
Like Epic Universe itself, the show blends groundbreaking technology, stunning visuals, and immersive storytelling into an unforgettable experience.
The show runs approximately 10 minutes — shorter than the typical 20-minute nighttime spectacular — but manages to hold attention from start to finish.
Fireworks are woven throughout the entire show rather than saved for a single grand finale. The result is a consistent, powerful display that keeps energy levels high from the opening seconds to the closing burst.
Pretty much any spot in Celestial Park offers a solid view of the show, but the terraced seating near the Cosmos Fountain — facing the Helios Grand Hotel — delivers the full experience.

Saharan dust at Berk
I attached the full video of Celestial Goodnight in this web story.
Leading up to the show, I spent a decent amount of time obsessing over the sunset due to the Saharan dust haze.
