 Yesterday we headed out to Universal Studios Hollywood to cover the Jurassic World 5k (we promise, one of these times we'll actually run the race) and of course stayed after a bit to do a park update. Lots of activity at the park as they prepare for the Holidays and Grinchmas, as well as Secret Life of Pets and Super Nintendo World. Let's head in!! Written by Gregg Condon Jurassic World 5kSomething truly magical about heading into a theme park before it even opens.    It was in the low 50's and perfect at the start of the race. It got up to the 90's later in the day. Winter in SoCal!!  They used the digital boards to help the runners which was awesome.  And of course, no theme park race would be complete without characters!!  Lots of runners heading down to the lower lot. Be sure to check out our highlight video too.     Some were going for a fast time, others were just enjoying the park and course.     I'm sure people were flying down this hill!!   We moved over to the finish  The kids race medals   Congrats runners!! We didn't hear that the T-Rex caught any of you, so that's good.  Park Update Let's head into the park and check out what's going on. Now that HHN is over, the park has quickly switched to Holiday mode.   Lots of awesome Holiday merch      A collection of shirts, hoodies, characters and more.  It snowed at the park apparently.   Always love the Minion tree  They're getting ready for Grinchmas  Taken before the park opened as we were headed to the finish of the 5k, but totally loved this pic.  Even the Wizarding World is celebrating the holidays  
Secret Life of Pets is coming along quite nicely  The amount of detail on the building is impressive    Super Nintendo Land is growing each and every time we visit the park    Impressive, most impressive.   The decorations are also all around CityWalk  Tony Roma's is closed, NBC Sports Grill/Brew is coming.  Cool new (to us at least) mugs at Voodoo Doughnuts  And even some Universal Running doughnuts  King Kong wishes you a GrrrGrrr Grrrrrrmas.  We'll be back in a few weeks for Grinchmas!! Hope you enjoyed the update!! Related Videos:

 Last weekend we were invited out to Universal Studios Hollywood to check out the holidays. This year the event is expanding and is better than ever with an all new Grinchmas show, more food and treats in Wizarding World and of course lots of great decorations throughout the park. Written by Gregg Condon Welcome to the Holidays at Universal Studios Hollywood  It was an absolute gorgeous day   Our first stop of course   We did single rider, then got stuck for about 30 seconds and then got to ride again. Score!!  We hadn't done the Tour since April, so we had to make it a priority   The new soundstages look awesome  Heading back into the park. Jurassic World is getting a LOT of work done   A crane is on-site  We are getting even more excited about this than we were already   There's also a crane on-site for whatever this is going to be. =)  Let's head in and take a look at Grinchmas    Show times for your planning purposes  More construction going up upstairs for the rumored Secret Life of Pets ride  It's even invading the Walking Dead queue  The characters at Universal are amazing   Always nice to see new food options in Wizarding World  And of course old favorites   As the sun goes down, the snow shows up on the castle (Really wish some other parks would do this as to not have snow on their castles in the middle of October)   Who's ready for Who-Bilation?!?!?!  Looks fantastic   Trying to get pictures of stuff in 2018. Lol.  It's beautiful   We've got some great video of the tree lighting and other decorations throughout the park  It was even snowing in the Harry Potter store!!  Decorations all over the upper lot       Mistletoe Minion    We had a great day at the park and will be back before the end of the year  Out in CityWalk, some new (to us) Lego decorations (gonna guess this has been here since Jurassic World 2 came out?)   Santa photo spot   We had to also make a stop at Voodoo Doughnuts on our way out of course. =) Thanks for checking out our update.

Related Updates:  Today we're back in Florida as we take a look at the Holidays at Universal Orlando Resort. Both parks are decked out for the Holidays and look amazing. Let's take a look!! Written by Renée Girard Stopping by Universal Orlando this afternoon for some holiday entertainment.  The old Terminator building is all decked out for Christmas.  It’s snowing in Diagon Alley!  Christmas decorations are up in the London area outside of Diagon Alley.    The holiday additions to Diagon Alley are pretty subtle but nice.     Fast & Furious Supercharged construction progress.    It’s time for the all new Universal’s Holiday Parade featuring Macy’s.   The minions and the rest of the gang from Despicable Me kick off the Universal Holiday Parade. 
Characters from Madagascar and Shrek featured in balloons and floats for the parade.     Santa Claus comes to town for the grand finale of the Universal Holiday Parade, and the tree lights up for the evening.     I loved Puss in Boots’ Santa costume!  We didn’t make it in time for a Grinchmas show, but still took in the sights of Seuss Landing.    Oh, and the lines today? Super short to non existent. It’s the most wonderful time of the year!  Took in another viewing of the holiday show on Hogwarts Castle, and it’s such a wonderful addition.   
    It’s been great to see new things for the holidays this year at Universal Orlando!  Related Updates: |
