Whether you’re a Broadway fan, a movie buff, or have seen the viral marketing for it — you probably know all about the Wicked movie releasing on November 22nd.

Well, Universal Studios is getting in on the festivities by featuring all sorts of Wicked offerings around the parks — including a brand-new Wicked: The Experience! We got the chance to check it out before it officially opens and are bringing you along for a sneak peek!

Wicked: The Experience will be a hit with fans at Universal Orlando Resort when it officially opens on Saturday, November 16th! This all-new, immersive experience invites you to step into the world of Wicked before the film hits theaters on November 22nd. We got the chance to preview Wicked: The Experience before it opened and are giving you a sneak peek! Follow along to see characters, costumes, eats and drinks, merch, and more.

We kicked things off with a meet and greet with the two main characters from the film — Elphaba and Glinda! You’ll be able to chat and take pictures with these two while Wicked: The Experience is around.

There are TONS of costumes and props on display throughout the experience, including this gown of Glinda’s…

…an outfit of Elphaba’s…

…and even a costume from Nessa, Elphaba’s sister. There are SO many different costumes and props from the movie to explore!

Not only that, but you’ll find lots and lots of merchandise — everything from apparel and accessories to home goods and more — in the experience as well.

We love this Wicked-themed tumbler…

…and this Emerald City Spirit Jersey!

We were able to try a few of the eats and drinks available throughout Universal Orlando as part of the Wicked event as well, starting with the Ozvocado Toast! This is an artisan-style black bread with smashed avocado, sweety drop peppers, pickled onions, and feta cheese.

We also tried the Strawberriful Waffle — a pearled sugar waffle with strawberry whipped topping, strawberry cream crumbs & sparkle dust. Consider this our official petition to have more sparkle dust in our lives.

We had the Shimmering Spritz to wash it all down…

…and the Perfectly Pink Donut for dessert!

You’ll find Wicked: The Experience inside Universal Studios Florida just steps away from the front gate — follow the yellow brick road into the fantastical Land of Oz to visit iconic Wicked locations from Shiz University to the Emerald City. Make sure you check out the costume and prop replicas created by the designers from the film on display, immersive photo opportunities, spectacular scenic and theming, and an exciting variety of new merchandise including elevated apparel, home goods, accessories, toys, and more.

In the meantime, we’ll be on the lookout for the latest updates from Universal Orlando and more theme parks. Make sure you stay tuned to the Disney Food Blog for more news!
