Grinchmas 2016

[Alexshow.]

Might as well start this now.


From the most recent Photo Update from Inside Universal; preparation is already beginning for this year's show, with Christmas lighting already starting to come up for Universal Blvd, Minion Way, the Lower Lot and French Street.

(You can find more pictures of the current work being done in the most recent Photo Update linked Here)


Are you all excited for the return of Universal's offerings for the Holiday? What are some things that you guys are hoping happens for this year? I would love to hear those down below!!

I wonder if they will eventually change the aesthetic to match the upcoming Grinch movie next year, or possibly even change the theme to Rudolph anytime soon due to the recent Dreamworks acquisition.

I believe that the upcoming Grinch Adaptation has been delayed a year..and if SWO is like anything; don't expect to see Rudolph anytime soon.

I feel like the Grinch when I see Christmas lights in October -__-

Some days over December, USH closes early like 7pm. Will the lights be on by then ?


Sorry, I am from abroad, and it gets dark only by 7.45pm over here in this part of the world.

^ oh yeah, the sun will have set by 5 PM in December in L.A.

 

[wongck]

That's great. I be at USH on a 7pm close day.

They're starting to prepare Universal Plaza for Grinchmas:

Our first Grinchmas since the opening of Potter. Anyone else as excited as I am?

 

[HereWeGo]

I would love to see them decorate the Potter land for Christmas but as far as I know they've never done that in Orlando, have they? Seems like a missed opportunity to make it look really amazing for the season.

For what it's worth, there have been multiple rumors that Orlando would get some Holiday festivities for this year as Japan has been celebrating the holidays in Hogsmeade as well.

*Crosses fingers they decorate Universal Blvd. with more than just christmas lights along the edges.* 

 

[wongck]

Oh.... is there any parade at USH ?


When I was at USF years back, they had a Macy's parade.

They haven't offered any sort of holiday parade for the park (which I assume is due to that it'd take too much space when the park lacks space as it is).

^ they did have one once back in the 2000s. I don't remember the specific year.

 

[Alexshow.]

Grinchmas will start on December third as it will go from December third to the fourth, the tenth to the eleventh, and the sixteenth to January first.

 

[wongck]

Other than the Xmas decorations and lights, what do I expect to see for Grinchmas ?


No parade but what's the special events and activities?

 

[ItsAtrap]

The same as last year. No changes or additions at all.
