Tribute stores at Universal Orlando earn status worthy of being full-fledged attractions. Considering these stores are temporary structures, the skills displayed by Universal Orlando continue to impress. Until late summer of 2021, these walk-through merchandise attractions appeared only in Universal Studios Florida. In late summer 2021, Universal Orlando revitalized a shop in Lost Continent area of Islands of Adventure. They named it the “All Hallows Eve Boutique.” This well themed merchandise location connected Islands of Adventure to Halloween Horror Nights. That temporary store transformed into the “All Hallows Holiday Store” for the winter holiday season.
Over last week or so, Universal altered the location into “All Hallows Voodoo Store.”
As you might imagine, this store links Islands of Adventure to the upcoming Mardi Gras celebration. Lots of familiar pieces of theming reside within this “voodoo” store. In addition, the mixing of Mardi Gras and eerie elements continue with this store. If you experienced the Mardi Grad Tribute Store in 2020 and/or the Skeleton Bar during #DietHHN in 2020, you would notice some familiar friends.
As usual, this merchandise location features excellent lightning and overall theming. If you need some “voodoo” theming while in Islands of Adventure, this store meets that need. For those of you with seasonal level annual passes to Universal Orlando blocked-out from Universal Studios Florida on concert nights, this small pocket of Mardi Gras should suffice for a day or two.
As you would expect, this merchandise location sells products. Moreover, this store housed the clearance items from Halloween Horror Nights. As of time of writing, a small amount of HHN merchandise remains being sold at 70% off. Also, in this store, we find a few first glances at 2022 Mardi Gras merchandise. You can expect to find clothing, beverage containers, magnets, Mardi Gras themed masks, and themed candles. These candles continue being popular with Universal Orlando guests. If unaware, guests stumble upon the theme of Mardi Gras 2022 parade seeing out of this world designs.
As always, Universal Orlando knocked another creepy “bayou” style themed store out of the park. If visiting Islands of Adventure in next few months, give this version of the All Hallows store a gander.
