Episode Description
Universal’s third* theme park, Epic Universe, is now open! Joe had the chance to experience it courtesy of Universal’s hospitality for a media event, but we wanted to bring on someone who paid for their ticket so Shawn from Miles to Memories and MTM Travel joined to discuss everything Epic Universe.
