Good morning from Universal Orlando! Let’s start our day off at Universal Studios Florida and see what we can find today.

Tarped structure near Fear Factor Live

A mysterious, tarped structure has popped up near Fear Factor Live. The area is currently used for a U-Rest and there are no shows, but we’re excited at the idea that this could be something to do with Halloween Horror Nights.

The fountain isn’t running today in front of Fast & Furious Supercharged. We really miss Beetlejuice’s Graveyard Review, but the fountain is a nice reminder of the past.

Speaking of throwbacks, we spotted some retro hip packs restocked in a few locations. These were found at the Universal Studios Store in CityWalk.

As we make our way over to Islands of Adventure, we notice a lot of signs out offering a special upgrade deal. If you upgrade your ticket to a UOAP, you get an additional 3 months free. We found out that we were eligible for the additional 3 months based on when we purchased our annual pass and Guest Services adjusted the ending date for our pass. We’re excited to have even more time to enjoy the parks and the many perks of being a UOAP!

Cinnabon inside the park is open, but has shorter operating hours. You can still find Cinnabon open in CityWalk, but if you’re looking to grab a cinnamon roll at Islands of Adventure, be aware that they close in the afternoon. Today, they closed up at 3 PM.

Not that anybody really wants 2020 merchandise, but Spider-Man is doing his best to make it through the year. This pin is $10 and can be found in the Spider-Man Shop at the exit of the attraction.

  1. That Spider-Man pin from UOR should had never been produced, and that contract and island should had closed permanently when Universal reopened before WDW…… MSHI wasn’t supposed to be a current topic in theme parks anymore
