Universal celebrates Day of Giving as Grinchmas prep continues

Picture
Last week was the Universal Studios Hollywood Day of Giving (Click link for more info) so we were at the park for the tail-end of the event. It's always great to see parks going out of their way to help the community. 

So while at the Day of Giving we decided to head into the park to get a quick update. 

Grinchmas

We'll start off with Christmas decorations out at CityWalk, which isn't a part of "Grinchmas" but just regular Christmas stuff. You've gotta go into the park to get Grinch'y with it.

Even Andy Dick thinks it's too soon for Christmas decorations

Some new decorations under the Universal arch. Wonder how these have been holding up with the high winds we've been having here in Southern California

The Universal Plaza is closed as they prepare to set up trees and other things for Grinchmas

More decorations and icicles have been added to the various buildings on the upper lot

Not sure if we'll see any additional decorations around Despicable Me

The Whoville sets on the tram are getting decorations as well as a MUCH needed paint job.

Springfield/Harry Potter

Not too much different on Springfield and Wizarding World since our last update, but enough for a few pictures.

Coming soon to a theme park near you ... Panels!!

Sorry, Panels AND Windows

Ben & Jerry's and Louie's are still standing

They've started expanding Wizarding World to the empty area

And lastly, since there was no other place to put it, the water play area for Super Silly Fun Land is closed for refurbishment.

When is the build out for Harry Potter going to be complete or when is Harry's World schd for opening (meaning 2105/2016?) as might be time to reinvest in a season pass for Universal.
