Aries (March 21 – April 19)
Must-Do Attraction: Revenge of the Mummy
Your Favorite Food Item: Spaghetti and Meatballs from Louie’s Italian Restaurant
The Photo Op You Can’t Miss: Mummy Pose with Egyptian Guards
“Are you insane?! Get out of here! The curse is real! This whole place is a trap! He’s after your souls!”
It’s no surprise that this fiery attraction would find itself representing Aries. Revenge of the Mummy is bold, fiery, and quickly plunges you faster than you can say “horoscope.” Just when you think everything is calm, you’re fleeing into your escape… kind of like the Aries I know. And hey, nothing cooler than being an all-powerful mummy, right? After leaving the tomb, see if there are any ancient beings walking around — they’re hard to miss. Strike a pose and finish it off with spaghetti and meatballs at Louie’s Italian Restaurant to satisfy a mummy-sized appetite!
Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
Must-Do Attraction: The Simpsons Ride
Your Favorite Food Item: The Big Pink from Lard Lad Donuts
The Photo Op You Can’t Miss: Bite into a donut at Lard Lad Donuts
D’oh! I didn’t give Taurus The Simpsons Ride just because the first thing I thought of was the massive pink glazed donut with sprinkles. All right, fine, yes, I did. But hear me out — The Simpsons just scream Taurus vibes, OK? Taurus has an appreciation for luxury and the finer things, just like Lisa Simpson.
Taurus’ love for comfort is just like Homer’s love for food and relaxation, whether he’s lounging on the couch eating a donut or grabbing a beer at Moe’s Tavern. And they’re loyal, like Marge’s unwavering love for her family. Once you’ve hung out with the Simpsons in Krustyland, grab the iconic Big Pink and snap a pic taking a bite in front of Lard Lad Donuts!
Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
Must-Do Attraction: TRANSFORMERS: The Ride-3D
Your Favorite Food Item: Mel’s Burger from Mel’s Drive In
The Photo Op You Can’t Miss: Pose with Optimus Prime
Just like how there are two sides to the world of Transformers Robots — the Autobots and the Decepticons — Gemini can also transform into different sides. Gemini is known for their duality and adaptability, kind of like how a Transformers Robot changes based on its needs! Regardless, both the good and the bad sides are pretty cool on TRANSFORMERS: The Ride 3-D. Continue your love of automobiles over at Mel’s Drive-In and grab one of Mel’s famous burgers. But before you leave, don’t forget to strike a pose with Optimus. After all, he’s the only truck who can pull off being both a hero and a heartthrob!
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
Must-Do Experience: Animal Actors on Location!
Your Favorite Food Item: Boss Baby Beignets from DreamWorks Imagination Cafe
The Photo Op You Can’t Miss: Paws up with your favorite furry friends!
KITTIES! DOGGOS! AND MORE. But seriously, Cancers are the perfect match for this show as it embodies themes of love, family, and the tender-hearted nature of your sign. Cancers, like adorable furry friends, thrive on emotional connections and enjoy creating a cozy, comforting environment.
After you’ve reached your cuteness limit, stop by DreamWorks Imagination Cafe to enjoy some Boss Baby Beignets. I know…I’m not defeating the crybaby allegations…but I promise the sweet treat is worth it. It’s a sweet experience, a sweet treat, perfectly curated for the sweetest of the zodiac.
Leo (July 23 – August 22)
Must-Do Attraction: Fast & Furious: Supercharged
Your Favorite Food Item: The San Andreas Combo from Richter’s Burger Co.
The Photo Op You Can’t Miss: Pose in front of your favorite fast car
Leos are like the “Fast & Furious” movies in so many ways. They’re all about bold moves, big personalities, and living life in the fast lane. Just like the intense action in the movies, Leos are full of energy and naturally draw people in with their warm spirits. Loyalty and family are huge for them, too, (just like Dom and his crew) making Leos the ultimate ride or dies. Plus, they have that same magnetic charm and confidence that makes them the center of attention. I mean, think of the part in the ride where they have to break up the party? That scene immediately made me go, “Oh, very Leo energy.” So, buckle up and embrace your inner Leo.
Make sure you get a glamor shot posing in front of some of the hot rods that are up for show outside of the Fast & Furious: Supercharged queue and then make a pitstop over at Richter’s Burger Co. to enjoy the San Andreas combo.
Virgo (August 23 – September 22)
Must-Do Attraction: MEN IN BLACK Alien Attack
Your Favorite Food Item: Churro from the food carts in World Expo
The Photo Op You Can’t Miss: Show off your focused face in the on-ride photo with your team!
Oh, you mean the most calculated ride with people in suits where the whole objective is to make sure you get the highest score? Agents K and J keep a sharp eye on extraterrestrial shenanigans, perfectly capturing Virgo’s romance for details. The Men in Black are all about saving the world, which totally vibes with Virgo’s helpful nature. Plus, their super-organized, secretive operations are just what a Virgo loves — everything in its right place!
Once you’ve restored order in the galaxy, take a peek at the attraction photo viewing center — silly faces are a must! After securing your team photo, reward yourself with a churro!
Libra (September 23 – October 22)
Must-Do Attraction: Race Through New York Starring Jimmy Fallon
Your Favorite Food Item: Irish Fish & Chips from Finnegan’s Bar & Grill
The Photo Op You Can’t Miss: Toast to the Finnegan’s sign
Hop on the ride of your life while you race through New York City with Jimmy Fallon. It only makes sense that Libras would be caught up with the celebrities living through the glitz and the glamorous. The city thrives on its social energy, much like Libra’s love for relationships and connections. The city’s vibrant nightlife and elegant architecture reflect Libra’s appreciation for balance and beauty.
After you’ve worked up an appetite, head over to Finnegan’s to grab some fish and chips. Also, what would New York be without a socialite and a drink? Raise your glass to the Finnegan’s sign, whether you’re toasting solo or with a friend!
Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)
Must-Do Attraction: Universal Orlando’s Horror Make-Up Show
Your Favorite Food Item: Strawberry Hazelnut Crepe from Central Park Crepes
The Photo Op You Can’t Miss: Strike a pose with your favorite horror prop!
Scorpios and horror? No…who would’ve paired the two together? Evil smirk >:) In this outrageous live show, you’ll witness how top spooky makeup and special effects professionals craft some of the creepiest (and coolest!) characters you’ve seen on the big screen. Channeling the intense and enigmatic energy of Scorpio, this experience dives deep into the art of transformation. The villains featured in the show, despite their notorious reputations, often steal the spotlight with their charisma and complexity — traits that Scorpios share.
After you’ve witnessed the horror makeup greatness, take your super cool villain self across the way to grab a crepe, conveniently located right across from the show! There’s something amusing about transitioning from an intense horror environment to enjoying a delicious crepe. The strawberry hazelnut is my favorite, and I believe a little sweetness goes a long way with my Scorpios.
Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)
Must-Do Experience: The Bourne Stuntacular
Your Favorite Food Item: Milkshake from Schwab’s Pharmacy
The Photo Op You Can’t Miss: Fists Up
He dangles from a helicopter, so of course I’m assigning Sagittarius to Jason Bourne. Known for their adventurous spirit, Sagittarians are often driven by a quest, much like Bourne’s relentless pursuit to defeat his enemies. Sagittarians are also known for their independence and resourcefulness — qualities that Bourne demonstrates through his ability to survive and adapt in various challenging situations, like jumping from rooftop to rooftop.
Despite the chaos around him, Bourne’s determination and optimism reflect the quintessential Sagittarian spirit. Oh, and did I mention there are fistfights, shootouts, and danger at every turn of this stunt show? Show off your best fighter stance by snapping a pic with your fist up, and cool off that fire sign in you at Schwab’s Pharmacy with a milkshake.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)
Must-Do Attraction: Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts
Your Favorite Food Item: Bangers & Mash from Leaky Cauldron
The Photo Op You Can’t Miss: Pose in front of the fire-breathing dragon
Capricorns. A bank. That’s the post. Well, besides taking the traditional route, the bank symbolizes structure and balance, much like the cardinal sign nature of Capricorns. And the massive fire-breathing dragon on top of the bank? That’s also very representative of the nature of Capricorns being strong-willed and confident.
Speaking of; this is a perfect photo opportunity for you to truly embrace the Capricorn nature of status and ambition. After you’ve journeyed through the vaults and worked up an appetite, be sure to travel through Diagon Alley and head over to the Leaky Cauldron (also in Diagon Alley) to eat like a true wizard!
Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)
Must-Do Attraction: E.T. Adventure
Your Favorite Food Item: Crepe from Central Park Crepes
The Photo Op You Can’t Miss: Finger touch
“Welcomeeee homeeee, you’ve arrivedddddd!”
Aquarius and E.T. are like cosmic twins: both sharing compassion and uniqueness alike. They thrive on curiosity, with Aquarians’ love for the undiscovered and E.T. exploring Earth with wide-eyed wonder. The heartwarming compassion of Aquarians is mirrored in E.T.’s healing touch and his deep bond with humans. Both are true originals, standing out in any crowd — Aquarians with their unconventional flair and E.T. with his extraterrestrial presence. Together, they make the universe a more fun place!
On your way out, snap a pic mirroring E.T.’s iconic finger touch moment — the extraterrestrial version of holding space, if you will. Finish it off with a sweet (or savory) crepe from Central Park Crepes!
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
Must-Do Attraction: Trolls Trollercoaster
Your Favorite Food Item: Poppy-licious Pink Ice Cream from Trolls Treats
The Photo Op You Can’t Miss: Snap a picture with your favorite Troll!
Pisces are the stars of this attraction since they share deep emotional connection and sensitivity. Just as the Trolls live in a vibrant, imaginative world filled with music and color, Pisces are incredibly creative and have a rich imagination. Both Pisces and the Trolls are known for their optimism and positivity, spreading joy and seeing the good in every situation. They value deep connections and community, thriving on the love and kindness they share with others. With their dreamy and idealistic nature, Pisces, like the Trolls, believe in the power of love, music, and happiness to overcome any obstacle.
