The Whos of Whoville are kind of like the scareactors of Grinchmas. They’re seasonal characters that have cool makeup, wear cool clothes, and wander the streets of Seuss Landing (in between shows) interacting with guests and getting into mischief. The first video is from 2009. You can really see the […]
That time Mikey went a little Christmas crazy…
For those of you who don’t know, I worked at the Hard Rock Cafe here in Orlando for about 13 years. During that time, I participated in numerous charitable events. One of the things we did each year was called “Breakfast with Santa”. We’d bus in a bunch of underprivileged […]
Something I miss at Universal this year…
Universal has done a phenomenal job this year stepping up their holiday offerings game! New parade, everything is new in the Wizarding World as far as the holidays go, and of course Grinchmas and Mannheim Steamroller are back too! But something is glaringly missing for me this year. The parade […]
Harry Potter Christmas Wonderment!
Usually the end of HHN bums me out for months. I sink into a dark hole of Sadistic Wonderment withdrawal that consumes me until after Mardi Gras comes along. Well, this year was a little different. Universal changed up their holiday offerings and introduced all new experiences and freshened up […]
Christmas arrives in Hogsmeade!
Since Halloween was yesterday, it’s ok to start talking about the Christmas season now…right? Technically there’s still two more nights of Halloween Horror Nights, but Universal has already fully dressed Seuss Landing and decorations have started popping up in Hogsmeade at Islands of Adventure! This will be the first year […]
SnapChat Spectacles Available at the Universal Orlando Resort
Three SnapChat Spectacle machines have popped up around the theme parks and Citywalk over the last week. They’re sunglasses with HD video cameras attached to them. You can record 10, 20, or 30 second videos with them. They will connect to your mobile device via Bluetooth, and you can either […]
Terminator Closed Forever
It was announced about a month ago that Terminator 2 3D would be closing forever. Replacing it would be a live action show based off of a “high-energy Universal franchise”. They have yet to announce what the replacement will actually be, but obviously rumors are swirling! The last day […]
Citywalk Update
Walking through Citywalk yesterday, I realized there was a lot going on but a lot going on quietly. Hurricane Irma claimed most of the Toothsome banner and Bubba Gump signage you see when you first enter Citywalk. Both of them are still missing with the Toothsome banner being removed completely. […]
Dismantling of the Dragons
I know they started removing the tracks of Dragon Challenge almost immediately after it closed. I saw the photos where they were sawing metal apart and sparks were flying. I saw the photos of the tracks missing. But it feels so much different actually seeing it in person. I compare […]
HHNstagram Grows Again
I created a separate Instagram account for my Halloween Horror Nights photos for a couple reasons. One, I realized not everyone enjoys having that kind of imagery pop up on their timeline on a daily basis. And two, after one evening at HHN 25 I had taken over 300 photos. […]
