Meet the Grinch: 


Who wouldn’t want to reminisce about their heartwarming moments meeting The Grinch? Alright, perhaps “heartwarming” isn’t the right description. Maybe “hilarious,” or “spectacularly sarcastic?” Either way, this is your chance to get his autograph, shake his furry hand, and have your photo taken with him. It’s the perfect memento for those who like to do holidays their own way.


Holidays_IOA_Breakfast
Character Breakfast with the Grinch & Friends (not included with park admission) 



Want to get even more up close and personal with your favorite Dr. Seuss characters? Start the day with The Grinch & Friends Character Breakfast in Circus McGurkus Cafe Stoo-pendous™, a circus-themed eatery where strange creatures perform and acrobats twirl high overhead.

Dig into a delicious hearty breakfast hosted by the maven of mischief from Mt. Crumpit himself, The Grinch. Don’t worry, it’s perfectly acceptable to laugh with your mouth full!

The Macy's Holiday Parade:



                                                     For many of us, The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade® is a TV tradition this time of year. But most of us will never see it in person…or will we? Once the legendary New York City parade ends, many of its breathtaking balloons and floats are sent straight to us, for Universal Studios Florida’s very own holiday spectacular featuring marching bands, clowns, and an appearance from Santa himself! Afterwards, enjoy the spectacular tree lighting ceremony with music and a dazzling display of lights!

Parade Times:
Dec. 7 - 25 at 5PM
Dec. 26 - 31 at 8PM
Jan. 1 - 4 at 5PM
