Universal Character Site: UPDATED MARCH 2016 PG 7

[atlfan4]

I tried to meet ParaNorman on Wednesday and was told he is only out Thur-Sat in the late afternoons (which are when I work). It was a bummer - hopefully he'll be out more frequently as it gets closer to the movie!

Any word if he is out more often now? I gotta think those characters are an obvious one to have out during the Halloween season, right?

Thanks!

Went to IOA/US on 10/21 & 10/22 and met many characters and got their autographs. We saw Hogwarts Express Conductor, Cyclops, Wolverine, Rogue, Storm, Captain America, Spiderman, Dr. Doom, Popeye, Olive Oyl, and Betty Boop at IOA (didn't make it to Suess until after the characters left for the day). At US we met Curious George, Woodie and Winnie Woodpecker, Scooby, Shaggy, The Simpsons (Bart, Homer, Marge and Lisa), Shrek and Fiona, Lucille Ball, Marilyn Monroe, Men in Black Agents, Dora, Diego, Boots, EB, Pink Berets, Phil, Carlos, Spongebob, Squidward and Patrick. Despicable Me characters were there as well but we didn't do a meet and greet though DD danced with a couple of Minions.

Does anyone know if any of the characters will be out in Holiday outfits this year. I know last year they had some out at KidZone after the Star Toons show, but was unsure if anything like this would be happening again:

Has anyone seen any characters (besides those at Seuss Landing for Grinchmas) decked out for the Holiday season yet?

We only have time for one day at universal....so if we do IOA we won't see the DM characters? I picked IOA because my son is a die hard superhero fan, but will be sad to miss some of the other characters.

As far as I know that's correct Despicable Me is over at Universal and Marvel characters are at Islands of Adventure. I don't remember ever seeing the 2 .parks characters together

 

[Berlioz70]

I agree with Truck - I've never seen those particular characters cross parks (though some others do - Lorax and Popeye come to mind).

 

[Berlioz70]

Great day at Universal - posted 12 new photos and spotted an additional 20+ characters. New page for Men In Black Agents (I've never seen them before) plus new Minion Kevin!

 

[Berlioz70]

Sounds like some the Performers weren't available for the last show?

I was waiting for Blues Brothers couple years ago and we were told the show was cancelled due to Technical Difficulties... so the Performers came out for photos. There was only 1 brother. I guess that's a pretty big difficulty when you're missing half the brothers.

New Transformer Characters are out:

Talking Optimus Prime and Bumblebee meet guests

I feel so silly - I went to IOA this morning, but didn't go to UO.... now I have to go again tomorrow!!

In US the depending in the characters they are usually in front of the Character store by DMMM and the block in front of terminator. Other places they are for the Blues Brothers are in front of the shop where they perform, Bettlejuice and his crew are in their own theatre by Disaster and during the day some of the parade floats will have characters by the horror make up show Intersection. Other characters will be near the animal show theatre and in the playland area. On the map it will tell you for the most part the times. I'm not sure on IOA

 

[texasteacher35]

Can u meet the Despicable Me Minions?


Are Cat in the Hat and Thing 1&2 always out? Or is it more rare? My DS7 is little and very alive and he loves the characters...some super heroes, but more little "happy" or silly characters. LOL with the exception of the Transformers. Haha

Minions are at the Dance Party, which is all day.
Cat & Things - yes, specific times listed on the map.

Planning our first trip to Universal. I missed Barney on your link. Is he still there? I will have one very disappointed little girl if not.

He still has his show, I had no idea there was a Meet & Greet with it: https://www.universalorlando.com/Shows/Universal-Studios-Florida/Day-In-Park-With-Barney.aspx

My three year old would love to meet spongebob, is there anything else for him at universal? it would only be a one day one park thing? Also, are tickets cheaper online or at door

 

[Akwafunk]

My former three-year-old, now almost 5 loves Universal. There's loads to do at both parks - water play areas (curious george at US and If I ran the Zoo IOA) The Seuss section in IOA is just right for that age, as is the Jurassic Park play area and Pteranodon flyers (lines can get long here though). My little loved Hogsmeade too, depending on height, Flight of the Hippogriff may be in play. Oh! Also the storm acceletron (teacups) in the Marvel section.

At the other park, there's Despicable Me (non-moving section depending on your kid's height), Woody's Nuthouse Coaster (near the Spngebob Meet and Greet), Fievel's Playground, and while we've not done it yet, the live animal show.

There's more I'm not thinking of, that's just the stuff he likes.

And yes - online is cheaper than at the gate.

Spongebob does meet and greets at the studios.There is plenty in both parks to do at his age

 

[deeluvsdisney]

We got autographs and had pictures made with Spongebob at the character breakfast at US

 

[3Miracles]

My Kids Love SpongeBob too and I found that you can See him at the Character Breakfast and get Special Seating at the Parade!!
Also Buy Tickets from Undercover Tourist!! Cheapest Site around that Already Included Tax and Free Shipping!!! Right now Universal Just put up Price Increases for their Tickets and Undercover Tourist for a Limited Time Now has the Old Prices on their Site!!!
Good Luck!!!!
