Why We're Even MORE Excited About Universal's NEWEST Theme Park Opening

We’re just a few short weeks away from the long-anticipated opening of Universal Kids Resort in Texas, and you can bet we’re so looking forward to being able to check out the park for the first time!

Merchandise sneak peek!

We can’t wait to check out the attractions available for kids of all ages and their families, as well as what dining options can be enjoyed around the park, and, of course, we can’t forget about the merchandise. Turns out, though, we didn’t have to wait too long for that last one, because we just got a sneak peek at some of the items that you’ll be able to purchase soon!

There are six lands in the new park, each of themed to a different Universal IP. There will be merchandise locations in each one, so you can check out the offerings in multiple locations. While we got a bit of a look earlier at some of the items that will be available for purchase, things got even BETTER when a surprise package showed up at our door!

A surprise package!

Inside, we found TONS of goodies, all being merchandise that will be available inside the park when it opens!

Eeek!

Each of the six lands was represented, which we love, because we know some people are more excited about some lands than others (personally, we’re looking forward to it ALL!). In our box, we got:

Grouchy Minion Drawstring Bag

We can’t wait to rock this attire as we get ready to step into the park for the first time — you can bet with that Texas heat, we’ll be keeping the water bottle full of ice cold water, and will be using that fan like no tomorrow. The drawstring bag will be perfect to keep our cooling towels in as well! We’ll be able to get a sneak peek at the park before many others, so be sure to stay tuned to our socials for all our latest adventures.
