Port of Entry Christmas Shoppe — Local services in Orlando

This is an all year round Christmas Shop. I wasn't expecting to find that kind of shop but I was pleasantly surprised, since I love Christmas! It is sooooo beautiful, near the entrance of Island of Adventures. It has a lot of merchandise and most of it is themed with elements from Island of Adventures and Universal Studios Florida. I noticed mostly a lot of Dr. Seuss (The Grinch, obviously) and Harry Potter, which I was very happy about. There are hats (Sadly no regular santa hats though), ribbons, Christmas stockings and mostly ornaments, but a lot more stuff too. The HP sections had House themed decorated trees and a bit more (including a miniature Hogwarts Replica and ornaments already sold in the Wizarding World) Overall, a very cute and pleasing Christmas shop. But obviously, the prices are pretty high just like the rest of the parks. There is also pretty much the same shop in Universal...

Much like the connected candy store, I had walked through here many times without paying any attention to this store. On this particular visit, I decided to look at it, however.

As the name sounds, it is entirely focused on Christmas decor. The store is open year round, so you can get your fix on any time of the year, or simply beat that last minute rush to decorate, starting in February.

As you might expect, much of it deals with Universal movie themed items, but it is not exclusively. In fact, I located at least one gift idea for a recipient on my list and it has nothing to do...

Stopped in for cookies and found so much more. It is a huge shop with a wide var5of goods for all ages. It's a little tight in some aisles and may be difficult for some patrons to navigate. The cookies are awsome. We did the Earl the Squirrel scavenger hunt and looked here for clues. That is the point to find new places and things. Lots of fun.#ADA #cookies #Earl #scavenger...
