There’s been so much exciting news coming from Universal Studios in the last few months and fans of DreamWorks Animation are the recipients of today’s exciting announcement. Coming in 2024, visitors to Universal Orlando Resort will be able to interact with their favorite characters in the brand-new DreamWorks Animation Land.

“As guests step into this new land, their imaginations will run wild as they take in the vibrant colors, sights, and sounds that surround them,” announced Universal Studios via press release. “They will share special moments with their favorite characters like Gabby from Gabby’s Dollhouse and explore themed, interactive play spaces and attractions that bring popular franchises like Shrek, Trolls, and Kung Fu Panda to life in the most imaginatively fun ways.”

The land “is part of a collection of new entertainment experiences debuting at Universal Orlando Resort in 2024 and is a continuation of Universal’s commitment to rich storytelling that places guests of all ages in the most incredible and immersive environments,” Universal Studios stated.

This news follows the announcement of a new Minions Land coming to Universal Orlando Resort this summer along with the newly-opened Minion Cafe that’s serving up some of the cutest Minion-inspired treats in town. Also on the horizon for the Universal brand is the addition of Epic Universe to Universal Studios Orlando in the summer of 2025. At nearly double the size of the park, Epic Universe aspires to be the “most immersive and innovative park we’ve ever created,” according to the Universal Orlando website.

Earlier this year we learned that the North Texas city of Frisco will be the next location to receive its own Universal theme park, this one targeted at families with younger kids.

We can’t wait to hear more about all the exciting things to come!
