 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 taking our first look at Halloween Horror Nights Orlando for 2018. Well, really, this is the culmination of 3 different trips to HHN, but who's counting!! We hope you enjoy this extended look at HHN Orlando, be sure to check back for more pics as we make more visits!! Written by Renée Girard We couldn’t make it to opening weekend of Halloween Horror Nights in Orlando this year, but we’re here tonight for the first of many this season!   First house of the night was Slaughter Sinema, a great comedy horror house. Really fun!   The colorful and cute characters in the Revenge of Chucky scare zone.
We didn’t do Stranger Things on our first night, but honestly, a 45 minute wait isn’t so bad! Expect peak nights to be much higher, I’m sure.  Wait times stayed fairly low and we did every house except Stranger Things.  Had a blast watching the dancing in the Vamp 85: New Year’s Eve scare zone. Gotta love Thriller!  Beware of the Killer Klowns from Outer Space!   Twisted Tradition is another awesome scare zone, and one we’ll need to go through when it’s dark out next time.    The Trick r Treat house is SO good! I loved the scare zone last year, and it’s so fun to see it back as a house.  It looks like another fantastic year at Universal Orlando’s Halloween Horror Nights! We’ll be back for more real soon!  I’d say that the Stranger Things house is a little popular, with a wait time of 105 minutes immediately after the gates open.  In addition to the awesome houses and scare zones, Horror Nights has some pretty tasty treats and snacks you need to try!    I really love the look of this bar setup at Horror Nights. I haven’t tried the specialty drinks yet!    And it’s still Dufftoberfest in Springfield! Pretty cool that they offer a seasonal beer there.  We also tried the Horror Nights doughnuts from Voodoo Doughnuts at CityWalk. Yum!  The scare zones and scare actors of Horror Nights have all been terrific!     And finally at Horror Nights tonight, we’ll count down and party like it’s 1985 with a bunch of vampires.  It’s a busy night at Horror Nights but I did 5 houses before 7pm! The front of the park is much more crowded at the moment.  I love these!  Stranger Things house wait time as of 7:30pm. Yikes!  We'll be adding even more pics to this update on our next visits!! Stay Tuned!! Related Videos:
