Universal Orlando Resort just closed another venue, Williams of Hollywood, antique prop shop, at Universal Studios Florida this week.
If you don’t know Williams of Hollywood store, it’s actually one of my favorite store when I visit the park. It’s one-of-a-kind shop that you don’t normally see in other parks from my knowledge. It opened in 2015 and has a variety of vintage items for sale such as set pieces from former attractions, movie props, posters, and costumes. It’s constantly restocked with new items as well they have items that was used from seasonal events like Halloween Horror Nights, Mardi Gras, and Holidays.
Halloween Horror Nights has been something I have been following for over a decade and the shop has little sections that is dedicated to Halloween Horror Nights. Like throughout the whole shop, you would find posters, props used from past events and more.
It is a definite a retail museum where you can buy the set pieces or products. It’s sad to see this shop close for good. Here are a few cool findings from my visits in the past at the shop.
The shop is the latest closure after Shrek 4-D and Monsters Café permanently closed earlier this year. Universal hasn’t officially announced what will be taking places.
Universal hasn’t officially announced what will replace Shrek 4-D or Monsters Cafe, but construction walls surrounding both locations feature Minion characters. Universal officials said details will be shared in the coming months.
