It’s another hot, sunny day here at the Universal Orlando Resort. We decided to make a quick trip over for the afternoon to check out the latest updates. Let’s see what’s new today.

It’s a beautiful day. The parks are busy, but not too crazy.

Looking for a unique souvenir? Take home this new Hagrid plush that we found in the Universal Studios Store in CityWalk.

Several popular items that had been sold out are now being restocked. This Marauder’s Map light-up ornament is really awesome.

Inside the Hello Kitty Shop, we’ve noticed more Universal merchandise has started to fill the shelves.

We stopped into Monsters Cafe for lunch. It was dead in there.

The seats are inspired by the bride of Frankenstein’s hair.

Scooby and Shaggy were meeting guests in KidZone and had quite a long line.

Donkey had a short wait time for his meet and greet. He’s even wearing his Mardi Gras outfit.

These appetizer trays are just $5 at the Mardi Gras booths.

We have got to try this Muffaletta Flatbread from the TODAY Cafe before Mardi Gras is over.

There’s also a new White Chocolate Strawberry Shortcake Mousse at the TODAY Cafe.

Gremlins figures can now be found at the 5 & 10 at Universal Studios Florida, in addition to the new Halloween Horror Nights Merchandise.

It looks like the parks are getting ready for the upcoming Grad Bash events. There’s lots of prep around both parks.

That’s all for this visit to the Universal Orlando Resort. Thanks for joining us around the parks today. Be sure to keep following along for all the latest updates from Universal parks around the globe.
