The Minions Takeover Cannot Be Stopped at Universal Studios Orlando
There’s no stopping those yellow and blue overall-wearing Minions from wreaking havoc at Universal Studios Resorts, as long as their hold on the children doesn’t meet its match.
Illumination’s franchise hit characters are set to expand on their own turf at Universal Studio Orlando. Joining the Minion Mayhem attraction is Illumination Ave, a new family-friendly destination—or in my opinion, a boulevard of broken dreams for us Universal Monsters fans (RIP, Monsters Cafe). The new immersive area will add a new attraction—Illumination’s Villain-Con Minion Blast—as well as several themed dining destinations inspired by the animated universe of those silly idiots kids can’t get enough of, and apparently neither can adults (looking at you, relatives who can’t stop sharing questionable, unauthorized Minions memes).

The Minions land, which will be one of the first park stops, invites guests and their kids to get all hopped up on sugar at Pop-a-Nana and Bake My Day before making their way to the Minions Cafe, which will feature savory options to manage the comedown.
Here’s an early look at the design of the place, a new ride logo, and the interesting food on the way.
Minion Cafe
Yes, this was once Monsters Cafe. The monsters have left the building but here are the Minions!
Cute, crispy, and creepy
We love us some grilled cheese but those Minion tots look like the result of some misbehavior in the capital potato punishment sense.
Agnes’s Honeymoon Soup
Yes, let’s trust a child to dream up some “good soup,” which looks to be a pea base, bacon bits, and... a gummy bear? I mean, if you think it will get a child to eat their veggies, go to town.
Despica-bowls
That’s not a dig, that’s what they’re called. Here’s one which appears to be a deconstructed (Minion) ramen bowel kids can disem-bowl.
Despica-bowls II
Okay, this one looks appetizing save for the blue rice. It’s good to see a veggie option at least.
Cheesin’ it
A cheese-drenched meat sandwich before thrill rides? Now that’s truly villainous (we’ll take two)!
Go ahead... “Bake My Day”
I just really wanted to say that. Here’s a cute cupcake store which will likely feature those Minion Twinkie cupcakes that were all the rage.
Un-bear-able adorableness
Is this a cookie or a cake or a baked brownie ball? Who knows? We’ll get it for the content.
Illumination’s Villain-Con Villain Blast
Can’t wait to be jacked up on all the sweets for Universal Orlando’s new ride and land opening this summer!
