Welcome to a rainy day here at the Universal Orlando Resort. It’s a brand new month, so we’re making our way over to the UOAP Lounge first to get our new button.


Annual Passholders can pick up July’s button featuring the big pink donut. Each month, a new button is released exclusively for UOAPs. They’re free and can be picked up at the UOAP Lounge at Universal Studios Florida or Toon Extra in Islands of Adventure.


We’ve noticed a lot more photographers around the parks lately. A My Universal Photos package is a great way to capture your day in the park.

Good morning, Marilyn!

We spotted a new collection of Dark Mark bags in the Wizarding World. Check out the entire collection with more photos and prices in our post here.

Retro paint splatter shirts have been restocked. These are very popular, so grab one while you can!

The climbing wall in New York has reopened for guests.



Looks like it’s going to be a raining off and on today. At least the crowds are low!




Islands of Adventure is also quiet this afternoon. Lines for food around the park are very short. The weather might not be great, but the crowds are perfect.

VelociCoaster was posted at a 45 minute wait. We decided to take a ride in the rain and we were on and off the ride in less than 25 minutes!

A quick stop at the Watering Hole in Jurassic Park for a Predator Rocks. We usually go for the Bird of Paradise but we decided to switch it up today and have no regrets.


The Nighttime Lights at Hogwarts Castle has returned to Islands of Adventure. We grabbed a spot in Hogsmeade and watched the show in the rain. You can check out the full video on our YouTube Channel or in our post here.

Thanks for joining us today around the parks. We’ll be back again soon, so make sure you keep following Universal Parks News Today for all the latest updates!
