Universal announced this week that the brand new Today Cafe will be opening in just a few days on May 16th. Designed to look and feel like Studio 1A in New York City where TODAY broadcasts daily, the new TODAY Cafe will serve grab and go meals, snacks and coffee. Guests can sit inside and watch a live TODAY broadcast or sit outside in a specially designed area meant to recall the TODAY plaza in New York City. 

This new dining location is replacing the former Beverly Hills Boulangerie quick service stop at the front of Universal Studios Florida, and across from the Universal Studios Store. This dining stop will have plenty of sandwiches, salads, and coffee drinks for guests to enjoy. 

8. Universal Monsters Halloween Horror Nights house announced

Universal Orlando Resort announced the third house for this year's Halloween Horror Nights this week. In the Universal Monsters house, guests will come face-to-face with Dracula in his gothic castle, the Wolfman in a dark Bavarian forest, and the man-made monster within Dr. Frankenstein’s lab. And if you survive them, you still may encounter the vicious Creature of the Black Lagoon, the ancient evil of the Mummy and more.
