INSIDE THE NEW DREAMWORKS LAND AT UNIVERSAL STUDIOS ORLANDO

June 11, 2024

This past week we got to see the new DreamWorks Land at Universal Studios Orlando!

While I’m always gonna miss the old Fievel and Woody the Woodpecker area since that was so nostalgic to me … the new area is cute for littles!

Before we move on let’s just reminisce about the old area real quick

FORMER FIEVEL AREA

Fievel’s Playland at Universal Studios Orlando was a charming and nostalgic homage to the beloved character, offering immersive experiences and attractions inspired by the adventures of Fievel Mousekewitz.
