Universal Orlando Close Up | UPDATES: Hurricane Irma and Universal Orlando Resort - Close Up

Our thoughts go out to all those impacted by Hurricane Irma and we stand ready to help our community recover.

Our destination saw relatively minor damage overnight involving fences, trees, signage and building facades.

We are hard at work inside our parks and we can confirm an on-time opening for Tuesday, September 12 at 9:00 AM for Universal Studios Florida, Universal’s Islands of Adventure and Universal’s Volcano Bay.

In addition, we can confirm that our Halloween Horror Nights event will begin as scheduled this Friday, September 15.

If you have additional questions, please contact a member of our Guest Services team by calling 407-817-8990 or emailing guestservices@universalorlando.com.

It does.

Stoked the Hurricane has passed. Now we can get on with the event...

I'm sure it will still rain opening weekend per usual.

Crossing my fingers and toes Jose avoids landfall and Florida.

I need a status update on the corn! Did it survive?

Looks like both events are sharing the same merch

Talk about the merch team not knowing where to have certain things.

Crossing my fingers and toes Jose avoids landfall and Florida.

From some models i've seen, it has Jose making landfall in FL around Daytona Beach this coming Sunday (9/17) after days of looping around. However, there's no reason for people to get too worked up about this one yet as the projections are 6-7 days out at this point and we all saw how much Irma changed over time. The only thing that has me slightly concerned as of now is that the European model has it coming here and it was spot on for Harvey and Irma.

So basically, don't get over worried about it just yet, but if you didn't use any of the Hurricane supplies you guys bought this time, keep it at the ready just in case.

Not sure which model you were looking at:

As I said, the European model. I don't trust the American models.

The likelihood is the storm will just spin out or go up the east coast though.

Us getting the same merch. With Chucky on it is actually extremely disappointing. So greedy and lazy imo.

So there's one shirt with a re-used logo on it. Dumb, bad mistake that will be gone in a week or two. Greedy? No.

I bet it stays through the entire event. This is not the first time Universal shared merch on both coasts even though it's incorrect to save a quick buck.

So did anyone here win the sweepstakes? Sure wasn't me.

Not I. I'm still waiting for the freebie item for signing up to be a Soul Collector.

Oh that! Lol.

 

[Thiago]

What is the front of the shirt with the houses on the back? Does anybody know any prices for the merch?

Well sort of. My wife got an email last night. She is one of the seven first place winners. I thought it was the Grand Prize at first.
Still pretty cool to win and the daily entries payed off. Congrats to the GP winner whomever it was.
