ORLANDO, Fla. – Adventure awaits at a new themed land in Universal Studios inspired by beloved characters from DreamWorks Animation, and Annual Passholders can get early access.

On Tuesday, passholders received an email notice about an “exclusive passholder preview.” On May 21, passholders can make a reservation for themselves and up to eight more passholders to experience the all-new DreamWorks Land.

Select times will be available May 24 - May 27.

Passholders will need their pass and ID numbers ready when making a reservation. Space is limited and is first come, first serve. Universal said the exclusive preview is a technical rehearsal subject to occasional delay, closure, or cancellation, and some elements of the land may not be available during this time.

DreamWorks Land — which takes over the former Woody Woodpecker’s KidZone area — will allow guests to explore Shrek’s Swamp, enjoy the Trollercoaster, and interact with Po in the Panda Village. Last month, Universal Studios announced that DreamWorks Land will be one of four new additions rolling out this summer, along with the Mega Movie Parade, CineSational: A Symphonic Spectacular, and Hogwarts Alley.
