It’s time to go bananas because Universal Orlando announced this morning that Minion Land will be opening on Illumination Avenue THIS summer! Guests will discover fun and inventive cuisine at Illumination’s Minions Cafe, sweet treats at Bake My Day, and Freeze Ray Pops, and sweet and savory popcorn at Pop-A-Nana (such a cute name!). Of course, there will also be a spot to grab some insanely cute merchandise where you can get a Minion of your own, a toy blaster and other gizmos, and other souvenir items. Guests will also be able to pop on over to Illumination Theater to take pictures with favorite characters from “Despicable Me.” So much is in store at the new Minion Land!
