Universal Orlando Resort has shared new details about the highly anticipated Minion Land on Illumination Ave. – an immersive new area created in partnership between Universal and the filmmakers from Illumination. Opening this summer at Universal Studios Florida, the new land expands upon the popular Despicable Me Minion Mayhem attraction and the beloved Minions franchise.
As soon as guests enter the land, they’ll be greeted by a fun, photo-worthy “Minion Land” marquee featuring 22 Minions before embarking on the mischief that awaits along Illumination Ave.
Here are some of the details about the exciting new experiences Universal has added:
Villain-Con Minion Blast is an all-new attraction where guests compete against each other in a fully interactive gaming experience. Afterward, guests exit through Evil Stuff, an all-new retail location where they can stock up on Villain-Con and Minions merchandise.
Illumination’s Minion Cafe – the marquee dining location within Minion Land – offers something for every palate. This highly-entertaining dining experience features three themed areas designed after beloved Minions Kevin, Stuart, Bob, and Otto: the Kitchen – where guests will get a glimpse of the equipment and gear the Minions have used to whip up the cafe’s menu; the Breakroom – where guests can dine in the Minions’ break space that includes everything from “Office Safety Tips” to a vending machine stocked with mischievous items; and the Dining Room – a vibrant space adorned with colorful artwork courtesy of the Minions and more. Guests can also enjoy their meal on an outdoor patio that overlooks the rest of Minion Land.
Universal Orlando’s award-winning culinary team continues to raise the bar when it comes to theme park dining. At Minion Cafe guests of all ages can enjoy inventive, family-friendly fare featuring nearly 20 items inspired by memorable characters and staples from the Minions franchise, including eclectic “despica-bowls” such as Otto’s Noodle Bowl, Agnes’s Honeymoon Soup and Carl’s Crispy Cauliflower (vegan offering); delectable handhelds such as the Steak & “Cheese Ray” Sandwich; adorable desserts such as Bob’s Teddy Bear Chocolate Cream Puff; a kids’ menu for the “mini Minions” in the family that includes items like the Mini Boss’ Mega Melt; and so much more.
The Minion Cafe will also feature an express window with a limited menu for those looking to satisfy their cravings quickly and return to their day!
Minion fans can pair their time at the park with a stay in one of the minion-themed rooms at the Loews Portofino Hotel on the property.
