We were able to spend the morning of January 24, 2019 hanging out with the Minions Tim, Tom, and Stuart, observing their preparations for the #RunningUniversal 5k! We observed the three, going through their calisthenics, practicing running through the finish line, posing for pictures, etc. The inaugural run event will take place May 11, 2019.
We discuss this event on the podcast, Episode 371 - Running Universal Preview, Disney Lunar New Year, Pasadena Comic Con, & Cal Comic Con 2019.

Preparations to celebrate the Year of the Pig during Lunar New Year, February 2 – 18, are underway.
Characters were out and about on a very mild crowd day. The combination of low crowds and amazing weather made for a great USH visit!
As usual, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter merchandise is quite impressive.
Hogsmeade looked particularly dapper in the winter sunlight.
No USH Park Hop is complete without a Springfield visit.
