Universal Kids Resort
We’re exploring one of two Shrek-themed lands in the park, Puss in Boots Del Mar! This land is set in the seaside town of Del Mar, Spain, seen at the beginning of Puss in Boots: The Last Wish. Now, let’s adventure!
When you enter the land, you’ll be greeted by artwork of a young Puss in Boots and Spanish-inspired signage. Let’s go explore!
Hey, Puss!
First, we rode Swings Over Del Mar, which carries guests high above a festive kitty adoption day celebration alongside Puss in Boots, Perrito, and Mama Luna. We really felt like this was a sleeper hit attraction! It’s surprisingly fast and a little bit scary as you swing out sideways and get views of the whole land. Kids and parents alike were loving this one!
Swings Over Del Mar
Then, we stopped for lunch at Comidas y Leche. This is a Mexican restaurant with some fun items on the menu.
Comidas y Leche
We ordered three treats and got to sit down inside and enjoy some air conditioning. This is the Puss in Bootsicle beverage, the Churritos and Chocolate, and the Big Jack Horner’s Wrap.
The spread
They also have a Coca-Cola Freestyle machine inside the restaurant with an exclusive beverage for this land — the Easy Peasy Orange Squeezy. Make sure to try it out!
The specialty Coca-Cola Freestyle flavor
Looking for dessert? You can head over to Tienda de Dulces, Del Mar’s candy shop! You’ll also find some public
The shops
After our snack break, we watched Mama Luna’s Adopt a Kitty Day!. This live show features puppet performances and some Spanish-language moments worked into the fun.
For another entertainment option, you can actually meet Puss in Boots, live and in the fur! We didn’t get the chance during our busy media day, but the famous cat will likely be a popular offering in his own land.
Mama Luna’s Adopt-a-Kitty Day
To wrap up your visit with some shopping, you can stop by Mercado de Perrito, Del Mar’s store. You’ll find accessories, headwear, and cosplay items that let kids transform into beloved Del Mar characters.
Around the land
Other highlights of this land are the interactive game area and the sensory gardens. Plenty of in-between activities that aren’t rides to keep your kids entertained and active.
