Guests Can Add Their Photo to a Halloween Tribute Store Mausoleum Plaque at Universal Studios Florida
Guests can now sign up to add an “In Memoriam” style photo of themselves to their own Halloween Horror Nights Tribute Store mausoleum plaque at Universal Studios Florida!

The upcoming Halloween Horror Nights Tribute Store at Universal Studios Florida is planning a mausoleum-themed hallway where those “laid to rest” will be guests themselves! For $129, you pick your name and send in a photo of yourself to be featured on a plaque in the hallway. The guest will select their own “birth year” and “death year;” however, both dates must be prior to 1954 since the use of mausoleums was primarily before that date. We love the commitment to theming!

There will be three different types of plaques with various epitaph phrases that will be selected for each guest.

Once the Halloween Tribute Store closes, guests have the choice of picking up their plaque in person at Universal Studios or paying to have it shipped to them directly. These plaques can be ordered at Five & Dime, the Tribute Store, or All Hallows Eve Boutique.

PHOTOS: 5 Disney World Construction Updates You Need to See
Between the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival, Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party coming up soon, and the continued 50th Anniversary Celebrations — now is an excellent time to plan a visit to Disney World!
But, things are constantly changing around the parks and beyond and it’s important to stay in the know when it comes to current construction projects happening in Disney World. Luckily, we’ve rounded up the biggest Disney World construction updates from this week so you’re prepared on your next visit!
Magic Kingdom
TRON: Lightcycle Run
Construction continues on the Walt Disney World Railroad train tunnel being built over at TRON: Lightcycle Run. More concrete walls are being installed on either side of what will eventually be the railroad tracks.
You can check out the train tunnel and wall from the other side in the photo below. It also looks like crews are working on building more concrete structures, but we’re not totally sure what those will end up being!
We’re keeping an eye out for the latest TRON news and updates — like when it might actually open — so stay tuned for more!
Check Out the Latest TRON Update Here
EPCOT
Mitsukoshi
The pick-a-pearl area at Mitsukoshi in the Japan pavilion has been closed of for a bit now, and it’s completely blocked off by black tarps.
Disney hasn’t shared any plans for this area or what might be happening behind the scenes, but we’ll keep an eye out for more updates.
Land Pavilion
Don’t get stuck in the Land Pavilion in EPCOT! The escalator is closed, so for now you’ll have to use the elevator or stairs.
Luckily, there’s plenty to do in the Land Pavilion should you find yourself in there — check out Soarin’ Around the World or Living with the Land!
Journey of Water — Inspired by Moana
The (rather large) Journey of Water — Inspired by Moana attraction is coming together piece by piece — literally. Crews have been working on installing all of the rock formations that will be home to the “immersive water-based attraction.”
Slowly but surely, things are starting to take shape. We can’t wait for this attraction to open — so be sure to stay tuned for even more updates!
See the Latest Journey of Water Construction Update Here
Disney Resorts
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort
There’s almost no trace of what once was the Spirit of Aloha Dinner Show building at the Polynesian Resort. We’ve been watching crews demolish the structure and smooth all that dirt over for a few weeks. Disney is preparing to start construction on the Polynesian Village expansion which will include new rooms, restaurants, and merchandise locations too!
Thinking about planning a Disney World vacation? We don’t blame you! Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is returning later this year and promises fun and fright. Not only that, but guests can celebrate the holiday season at Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party and the EPCOT Festival of the Holidays too!

GAWRSH! Set Your Alarms NOW For The Release Of A New Disney Collection
GAWRSH! One of our favorite Disney Dads is about to receive the spotlight.
![](https://www.disneyfoodblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/2022-dcl-disney-wish-cruise-captain-minnie-mickey-goofy-fab-5-2-560x600.jpg)
Goofy
Thanks to various treats, merchandise, and Disney+ shows, we’ve seen some underappreciated (in our humble opinion) characters get some well-deserved attention. And now, thanks to Harveys, we’re about to get an entire collection that’s inspired by one of the goofiest characters ever. Yes — GOOFY!
Harveys took to Instagram to share the exciting news about their new Disney Goofy collection! Take a look:
On August 5th at 8AM PDT, you can find this collection online on the Harveys website! All items are limited to one per family or household. For in-store pickup, choose the “curbside pickup” option at checkout. And if you choose in-store pickup, you’ll want to head over to their Santa Ana shop on August 6th from 8AM-10AM PDT, as they’ll be hosting a party during those hours. You’ll be able to take a photo, grab coffee, and meet the Harveys.
