Universal Orlando Resort has opened a new clearance store at Universal Studios Florida, offering 60% off merchandise.
UOAP & TM Clearance Store
The store entrance is the Williams of Hollywood facade and the exit is the Studio Styles facade, the usual location of a Summer Tribute Store. Team members didn’t know how long the clearance store will be open but it does cast doubt on a Summer Tribute Store happening this year.
This replaces the former discount store down the street at the Brown Derby Hat Shop, offering more space for more merchandise. Unlike Brown Derby, this store is open until park close.
At the door, Team Members will check for your annual pass or team member ID.
Merchandise in the first room includes generic swimwear and apparel.
This may not be a Tribute Store, but it features several props and set pieces from past Tribute Stores and Halloween Horror Nights offerings. A Major Sweets banner hangs in the first room.
There’s an Earl the Squirrel cutout on the wall of the next room. Unfortunately, these props are not available for purchase.
This room has Universal Orlando Resort apparel, including some of last year’s “Love is Universal” collection.
Merchandise and apparel from the 1912 yellow and blue collegiate collection are available.
On the merchandise displays are UOAP & UOTM decorations and signs advertising the 60% off. The shelves in this room are topped with plush props.
A newspaper stand between the shelves showcases the headline: “Announcing the official opening of Universal Studios Florida!”
This door has a Legends of the Bayou bumper sticker on it from the most recent Mardi Gras Tribute Store, which was in this same location.
Between two rooms is Bill and Ted’s phone booth, which sat outside last year’s Summer Tribute Store.
The next room has several Christmas props on display, as well as Christmas merchandise available for purchase.
There’s another Major Sweets Candy Co. banner. This banner and the first hung inside San Francisco Candy Factory during Halloween Horror Nights 33.
An Earl the Squirrel flat is above the doorway.
Some schematics are hanging on the wall behind light-up Christmas figures.
Merchandise in this room includes Hogwarts house apparel and some of the Hogsmeade for Christmas collection.
Discounted prices are not listed on individual items, but everything in the store is 60% off. We did notice some Loungefly items we purchased rang up even cheaper as they had already been marked down before the 60% off was added.
Over the windows are tapestries of the Universal Studios Florida archway and Universal Islands of Adventure tower.
A Mr. Tape cardboard cutout from last summer’s Tribute Store welcomes guests to Mega Video Rentals.
This cutout of The Curator is from the Halloween Horror Nights 32 Tribute Store. The Curator, inspired by The Cryptkeeper, told the “Tribute to Terror” comic book stories that came to life in the store.
Other discounted items on offer include headgear and Mardi Gras merchandise.
Above the next doorway is a poster for the Dead Coconut Drive-In and the HHN 32 Tribute Store’s reference to the Great Movie Ride.
This store has several decorations hanging from the ceiling over the merchandise, which includes “Harry Potter” and Minions plush, Marvel Loungeflys, apparel, and more.
Among the hanging decorations is a shark cutout and ads for various Halloween-themed games.
Signs and cutouts on the walls include a Monster Gram Pictures sign from the 2023 All Hallows Eve Boutique overlay, a Universal Studios Monsters Banner, and another depiction of The Curator.
This “Welcome to Duloc” sign is straight out of Shrek 4-D, which closed in 2022 to make way for Illumination’s Villain-Con Minion Blast.
The dinosaur-shaped wood cutout appears to be from the Jurassic Park 30th anniversary Tribute Store.
There’s another Major Sweets sign. A poster for “Revenge of the Red Planet” is also from the Monster Gram Pictures overlay. There’s a sign from Revenge of the Dead Coconut Club 3D and another for Earl the Squirrel’s Tree Farm.
There are Minions plush and costumes for sale.
Other Illumination merch items include Villain-Con T-shirts and Bake My Day apparel.
Lil’ Boo appears in the clearance store in the form of one of the cutouts from the 2023 Lil’ Boo Trick or Seek scavenger hunt. Like the other signs and decorations, Lil’ Boo is bolted to the wall — we checked.
There is Shrek merchandise, including apparel, bottles, and a drawstring backpack.
One display is dedicated to Marvel merchandise, including items inspired by Captain America and Spider-Man.
There are discounted Loki and Spider-Man Loungefly mini backpacks and wallets.
Another shelf is full of “Jurassic World” merch, including plush, apparel, and bubble wands.
More discounted “Harry Potter” merchandise includes jewelry, T-shirts, notebooks, and backpacks.
Above the next door are vibrant comic-style images of Universal Monsters.
The final room has props and set pieces on platforms raised above guests. There are two check-out counters with several registers. When checking out, guests don’t need to show their Annual Pass because they already showed it upon entering.
A large Oscar statue sits next to this room’s entrance.
Four banners show off various Halloween Horror Nights icons.
There are busts wearing 3D glasses and a coffin shelf filled with various Halloween knick-knacks.
The set pieces include crates, birdcages, bikes, and a large Mardi Gras sign.
On the other side of the room, a smaller Mardi Gras room sits in a purple chair. The two director’s chairs for The Mummy and The Wolfman are also from All Hallows Eve Boutique.
A dismantled plane features an Earl Airways logo.
Hanging above the check-out is a banner for the Halloween Horror Nights R.I.P. Tour.
Next to the banner is a large gear and clock from “Back to the Future.”
This room has various discounted apparel like T-shirts, hoodies, Spirit Jerseys, button-ups, and bathrobes.
Shelves at the start of the check-out queue hold small items including photo frames, bottles, tumblers, Funko POP! figures, and postcards.
Behind one set of checkout counters are instruments, seemingly from the Mardi Gras Tribute Store.
A pair of graves on the fronts of the counters honor Eleanor Stokes and Baynor Cramston. Next to the former is a book of the 1969 Federal Tax Regulations.
Several empty picture frames hang behind one counter, alongside framed black-and-white photos, pictures of Earl the Squirrel, and a poster for The Mummy’s Curse.
The windows framing the exit hold luggage and crates.
A large decal mural showcasing the icons of Universal Orlando Resort (including the Epic Universe entrance gate) is at the exit.
