The wands were released last summer to coincide with the Mega Movie Parade. While the parade is on hiatus, guests can use their wands at these windows of the Universal Studios Store in Universal Studios Florida. There are four interactive windows, one themed to each of the three IPs and one featuring all three. From left to right in the photo above: “Trolls,” all three, “Despicable Me” / “Minions,” and “Jurassic World.” Another “Jurassic world” display window is on the far right but this does not interact with the wands.
