Po Live!, the interactive Kung Fu Panda character experience in DreamWorks Land, remains closed through an extended refurbishment even after neighboring Po's Kung Fu Training Camp play area reopened in early July. Universal has said it returns "Winter 2026"; December 1 is an estimate and not yet confirmed.
Friday at Universal Studios, with Universal Mega Movie Parade, CineSational: A Symphonic Spectacular, Horror Make-Up Show — Reimagining and Po Live! — Extended Closure today. Expect light-to-moderate crowds under sunny with a chance of afternoon thunderstorms.
