New merchandise featuring the Creature from the Black Lagoon and the Wolf Man is available at Universal Orlando Resort. We found these in the All Hallows Eve Boutique, the year-round Halloween store at Universal’s Islands of Adventure.
Creature from the Black Lagoon Mug – $13
The mugs are both black, with monster artwork in a rectangle on the side. The Creature from the Black Lagoon art sees the creature emerging from the water. Printed in the top corner of the art is “From the Amazon’s forbidden depths came the… CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON.”
The Wolf Man Mug – $13
The Wolf Man is pictured in a close up on his mug, with a smaller image of him behind “The Wolf Man” in the corner.
Creature from the Black Lagoon Print – $15
The Creature’s artwork is also available as a flat print.
Creature from the Black Lagoon Tee – $27
The artwork is made vertical like a poster on the chest of this T-shirt, with the Creature seeming to pop out of the design. The background of the shirt is dark blue.
The Wolf Man Tee – $27
The Wolf Man’s shirt is dark brown, and he’s depicted in a similar poster design, with the woods behind him and claw marks next to his name at the bottom.

The same artwork from the mugs is printed on these black shot glasses.
The Universal Monsters franchise has been ongoing since the 1930s, featuring characters like Dracula, the Wolfman, the Mummy, Frankenstein’s Monster, and the Bride of Frankensteins. The movies aren’t necessarily connected in one universe, just feature the legendary monsters.
Universal’s Classic Monsters used to be represented in Universal Studios Florida with Monsters Cafe and the Bone Chillin’ Stand, but both have now closed to make way for Minion Cafe.
At Halloween Horror Nights 2022, there were two Universal Monsters houses, one in Universal Studios Hollywood and one in Universal Studios Florida. Though different, the houses were connected in one big story. Other than these interconnected houses, various Universal Monsters houses and mazes have been present at Halloween Horror Nights over the years, including at Universal Studios Japan.
In early 2022, while Revenge of the Mummy was closed for refurbishment, its gift shop, Sahara Traders, became a Classic Monsters Tribute Store. Classic Monsters merch is still available in the store.
Universal Monsters is rumored to be the theme of one of the new Epic Universe lands. Universal Destinations & Experiences recently filed trademarks for Curse of the Werewolf, which could be an attraction, and Dark Universe, which was the name of a canceled series of Universal Monsters movies. Dark Universe could be the name of almost anything in Epic Universe, including the overall title of the Monsters land.
Radio Silence, the production company behind recent “Scream” films, signed on to a new untitled Universal Monsters thriller. Recent Universal Monsters films include “The Mummy” (2017), “The Invisible Man” (2020), and “Renfield” (2023).

Whether you’re a rookie or a seasoned pro, our insider tips and tricks will have you exploring the parks like never before. So come along with us, and get planning your most magical vacation ever!
Disney truly has a way of making us all feel like royalty from time to time.
Just living out the royal fantasies
While some of you might be imagining sweaty humans all packed together in a closely-quartered queue to ride a children’s ride and thinking that it doesn’t seem like royal treatment, we’re talking about some special events that Disney hosts that just seem to make things a bit more… magical. One of those occasions is World Princess Week!
World Princess Week celebrates Disney Princesses, real-life princesses, and the spirit of girlhood by showcasing all that we are and all that inspires us to dream big, live courageously, and love those around us — just like the Disney Princesses in the films! (That was a little cheesy, but sometimes it’s about more than just a theme park and some cool movies, yanno?) Disney World celebrates all week long with snacks, special merchandise, and this year — a royal ball.
Anna and Elsa Cookie
This year, Princess Week will take place from August 20th through August 26th. While we don’t have many specific details yet, we do know a few specifics on the ball that will debut this year.
Princess Tiana
The Once Upon A Wish Party will be thrown by Disney in collaboration with the Make-A-Wish Foundation. This event will be thrown specifically for Wish families and will include a full day’s worth of “enchanting surprises, inspiration, and adventures fit for a hero or heroine.”
Disney says we can expect tea and treats, character meet-and-greets, and Wish kids from all over the country! The very first Princess to be invited was 7-year-old Scarlett at Ventura Elementary School in Florida, who was personally visited at school by Minnie Mouse and her Cast Member friends.
We’ll continue to keep you updated as we find out more details about this year’s Princess Week Celebration as well as the Once Upon a Wish Party. Stay tuned and follow along for more!

We can appreciate the beauty of a Disney accessory, especially if it’s shiny.
BaubleBar Snow White Ears
BaubleBar is a brand that often collaborates with Disney to make beautiful pieces. We have seen gorgeous BaubleBar Minnie ears, like the Snow White ones above. They also make earrings and necklaces featuring Disney characters and have adorable bag charms as well. Now might be the PERFECT time to finally snag that Disney x BaubleBar item you’ve had your eye on!
BaubleBar is having its Disney Jewelry Sale right now and items are up to 70% off. Yes, that’s right — 70%. So let’s look at a few pieces that are a part of the sale.
Next, we know there are Disney Villian fans out there (OK, so maybe we are too!). We found these Cruella BaubleBar Earrings as a part of the sale. They show Cruella’s iconic black and white hair and her red lipstick.
While Halloween might seem far away, it’s coming up sooner than you think. Disney World already announced party dates for Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party and those start in August. Grab these now and you could even go as Cruella herself. If Cruella isn’t your thing, don’t worry, they also have Evil Queen and Ursula earrings!
Next, we love how cute the BaubleBar Bag Charms are and this one is no exception. This Mickey Mouse Nutcracker Bag Charm is currently on sale. This adorable charm features Mickey Mouse as a nutcracker with snowflakes on his ears.
It’s never too early to think about the holidays and this would make the perfect addition to your bag during the holiday season. It can also be used as a gift for a Disney fan. So go ahead and start knocking out that shopping list now.
Finally, this Disney Princess Necklace Set is on sale for 40% off. The set includes 5 necklaces each featuring a Disney Princess. There is a Moana, a Belle, an Ariel, a Snowhite, and an Aurora necklace in the set.
You get 5 necklaces for one price, that’s a good deal. You can even break up the set if you have multiple people you would like to give a necklace to. Everyone has their favorite Disney Princess right?
