It was an absolutely gorgeous day at the Universal Orlando Resort, even with the holiday crowds. We came across a couple of new updates around the parks. Let’s jump right in!

We headed into Universal’s Islands of Adventure and found a colossal surprise. 

You can now carry around your very own Blue with this new Jurassic World Funko Pop! Loungefly backpack.

Jurassic Park River Adventure is a 60-minute wait. The temperature outside has been pretty hot today. We might just have to hop in line.

This family definitely got an Instagram-worthy shot in front of the butterbeer cart sign. So cute!

The streets of Marvel Super Hero Island were very crowded today. 

The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man was a 110-minute wait. Looks like we will catch the most dangerous night of his life another time. 

Check out these new Hogwarts house mascot plush we found in Island Trading Co.

Each plush has a scarf representing their house. 

Let’s head next door and see what’s happening at Universal Studios Florida.

As we started our loop around the park, we ran into the Mystery Gang! They said they were taking a quick break from solving mysteries to hang out and meet guests. 

Select Halloween Horror Nights merchandise has now been discounted to 70% off. 

Did you know you can see Kreacher the House Elf peek out the window of 12 Grimmauld Place? These guests spotted him! Make sure to look out for him next time you find yourself in the streets of London. 

Diagon Alley was crowded today. It was definitely the busiest area of the park. 

Shrek 4-D Farewell tees have been restocked. We aren’t sure how long these will be around so get yours before they are gone for good! 

A new Marvel Comic merchandise collection appeared in the Universal Studios Store at CityWalk. Make sure to check out the full details of the collection here.
