Shrek 4-D is one of Universal Studio's newest and most popular attractions. Princess Fiona and the rest of the Shrek gang lead viewers on an all new adventure that picks up where the Oscar-winning movie left off. An original 3D film is pumped up by OgreVision special effects that let audience members feel like they're part of the action. Grab a seat - this is your chance to get up close and personal with "Shrek's" loveable cast of characters!
What to eat while taking in all this movie magic? Universal Studios offers a variety of places to take a break and chow down on quality food. Universal Studio's Classic Monster Café , the theme park's signature restaurant, serves up salads, pizza and pasta. Chez Alcatraz is popular among adults, featuring seafood, sandwiches, snacks and a full bar. You can also enjoy a drink at Finnegan's Bar and Grill , an Irish style restaurant and pub. Fans of exotic cuisine flock to the International Food and Film Festival to sample a variety of dishes from around the world. Take a coffee break in style at the Beverly Hills Boulangerie , which serves bowls of frothy cappuccino and gourmet pastries. If a burger is your food of choice, head to Richter's Burger Company , where you can create your own burger or grilled sandwich. Wherever you decide to dine, save room for dessert - the ice cream sundaes and floats at Brody's Ice Cream Shoppe are hard to resist.
There's no doubt you'll want to take a piece of Universal Studios home with you. The Universal Studios Store is the place to go to find traditional souvenirs. Fans of "Shrek" will love Shrek's Ye Olde Souvenier Shop , where they can get a hold of stuffed Shrek toys, Shrek t-shirts and a wealth of other paraphernalia associated with the green ogre. Nickstuff is the perfect place for kids, featuring toys, games and apparel inspired by the likes of SpongeBob, Jimmy Neutron and Dora the Explorer. If you love Hollywood classics, you'll want to stop by Silver Screen Collectibles , an emporium of photographs, books, gifts and clothing featuring the cartoons and characters of golden age Hollywood .
After a visit to Universal Studios, you'll never look at movies and television shows the same way again. If the theme park is high on your Orlando to-do list, stay at the Quality Inn International , Clarion Hotel Universal or Springhill Suites by Marriot ; all are only a short drive away from the fun. Remember to allot a good chunk of time for your visit - once you arrive at Universal Studios, you'll want to experience as many of the spectacular attractions and rides as you can.
