Happy holidays from the Universal Orlando Resort. We’re back to face the crowds around the parks and check in on all the latest updates, so let’s get going.

It was no surprise when the parks hit capacity early this morning.

The parks are packed with visitors from all over ready to celebrate the holidays at Universal.

The Wizarding World is always crowded.

There are long lines for food all around the park, especially in Springfield.

The KidZone Pizza Company has reopened. It’s nice to have more food options open during this busy holiday week. They even have pizza fries!

Some of Santa’s helpers have taken to the stages around the park to inform guests of holiday activities like the Macy’s Balloons and the Holiday Treat Trail.

Since the parks are at capacity, we’re going to take the backstage path to travel between parks with ease. It’s open both ways today, so we walked over to Islands of Adventure next.

In Seuss Landing, the lamp post outside of the Mulberry Street Store is back. There has been a Gertrude McFuzz themed box here for a while, but now the lamp has returned.

Crazy crowds in Hogsmeade as usual.

A lot of people were waiting in line to meet Blue at the Raptor Encounter.

The new fence that has been built near the bypass bridge and the Jurassic World VelociCoaster is getting a coat of brown paint.

Thanks for following us around the parks today. We’ll be back again soon, so be sure to keep following for more updates!
