Meet Poppy & Friends

Poppy, Branch and other favorite Trolls characters take center stage for a glitter-filled meet-and-greet experience. Rather than a traditional photo opportunity, Universal describes the encounter as a dance party, encouraging families to interact, move and celebrate alongside the characters.

King Trollex Techno Dance Party

King Trollex brings the beat to TrollsFest with a high-energy dance party featuring a mix of techno, funk and pop music. Kids and grown-ups alike candance, laugh and let loose in the middle of the festival.

Before the big show begins, guests can jump into the action by helping their favorite Trolls prepare for the concert. Families will lead sound check, practice dance moves and step into the spotlight during this interactive pop music experience that captures the joyful energy of the films.

Troll-ify Me! Experience

Take the celebration one step further at Troll-ify Me!, a makeover experience that lets guests transform into their own Troll-inspired alter egos. Located within TrollsFest, the experience has been described by Universal as the “ultimate Trolls makeover” for both kids and grown-ups.

Publicly released details have previously highlighted colorful wigs, headbands, makeup, apparel and accessories inspired by characters like Poppy, Branch and Guy Diamond. However, media materials also confirm that the experience includes face painting as part of the Troll-inspired transformation.

Pricing and package details have not yet been publicly announced.

Trolls-themed play area

In addition to its rides and entertainment offerings, TrollsFest appears to include a small, unnamed play area for younger guests. Based on concept art released by Universal, the space features a compact netted climbing structure with colorful stepping platforms where children can explore and burn off energy between attractions.

Adjacent to the climbing area is at least one hands-on interactive play element positioned at ground level. The concept art depicts a child using a wheelchair engaging with the feature, suggesting Universal designed the space with accessibility and inclusive play in mind.

With rides, shows, character encounters and hands-on experiences, TrollsFest offers one of the broadest appeals at Universal Kids Resort—giving toddlers, older siblings and parents opportunities to join the celebration.
