The Minions Take Over Universal Studios Orlando

In the past Universal Orlando has been harped on for not being as kid friendly as Walt Disney World. This of course comes from the fact that some of the Studio's content is targeted more towards adults rather than children. However, opening Summer 2023 comes Minion Land! This land will be perfect for families to start their day at Universal Studios, immersed in the playfulness of the Minions’! 

Minion Land

Minion Land will be located towards the front of Universal Studios Park! Despicable Me Minion Mayhem has been in this area since 2012 following the popularity of the Despicable Me movie, released in 2010. This long awaited land will include a new attraction, a new restaurant, never before seen character meet and greets, and three new shopping and treat experiences! 

Illuminations Villain-Con Minion Blast is the new attraction opening in Minion Land late Summer 2023! This walk through attraction follows your favorite illuminations henchmen as they transport you to Villain-Con; the worldwide convention for criminals, where guests will be able to test their skills and see if they are qualified to join the Vicious 6 (a group of the most elite criminals)! When guests exit this attraction, they will be inside “Evil Stuff”, a gift shop where they will be able to buy Vicious 6 and Minion merchandise! 

Minion Cafe

Minions Cafe is a restaurant that highlights everything Minion! Menu items including various banana flavored items, classic pizza and burgers, and even a fluffy unicorn cupcake for desert! The vibrant interior gives a sense that you are in the world of your favorite minions! Bake My Day is a sweet shop inspired by the shop introduced in Despicable Me 2! Bake My Day offers Cotton Candy, Lollipops, and other merchandise such as Spirit Jerseys’ and stuffed animals! Freeze Ray Pops is a stand in Minion Land that has multi flavored Popsicles! Pop A Nana is a new popcorn stand that offers a new banana flavored popcorn, just like the minions love! Illumination Theater is the new character meet and greet hot spot! Characters from the movie Sing as well as Despicable Me will be doing meet and greets throughout the day! 

These vibrant and exciting new areas coming to Minion Land this Summer are going to be a hit with families from all around the world! The beloved characters kids love are coming to life in a whole new way with this addition to Universal Studios Orlando!
