Welcome to another bright, sunny day here at the Universal Orlando Resort. The crowds have been picking up steadily throughout the week, but wait times aren’t too bad around the parks. Let’s start our morning at Universal Studios Florida.

You can now grab a beer and a new face mask at the same time. We’ve noticed multiple food locations selling masks.

The custom airbrush kiosk inside Custom Gear Shop is closed during the week, but we heard they’ll be open on weekends. You can still find airbrush products out in CityWalk, though.

We needed a little pick-me-up today, so we stopped into the Starbucks at Islands of Adventure to try the UOAP Candy Bar Frappuccino. It’s a caramel ribbon crunch Frappuccino with toffee nut. It’s available at the Starbucks locations at Universal Studios Florida, Islands of Adventure, and CityWalk through October 31.

The dinosaur that makes up the Camp Jurassic entrance sign is now completely painted this off-white coloring. We’re not sure if this is the final product of the refurbishment, but it looks like it might be finished.
