Universal Plants Playful Dig at Disney on Closed Islands of Adventure Shop

The small joke shows brand personality without signaling any change to the shuttered space.

Overview

  • The closed Wossamotta-U storefront at Islands of Adventure, which got new speech-bubble decals Tuesday, now features the line “Is this the park with all those mountains?”
  • Fans and outlets read the line as a wink at Magic Kingdom’s signature “mountain” rides, including Space Mountain, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, and the former Splash Mountain.
  • The shop has been closed since October 2025, with purple panels over its windows and no announced plan for a replacement or reopening.
  • Photos of the decals spread across theme-park social accounts Tuesday, drawing laughs and fresh attention to a corner of Toon Lagoon that has sat quiet for months.
  • The light touch fits a long-running Orlando rivalry, where small on-site Easter eggs let Universal and Disney trade gentle jabs that engaged fans quickly spot and share.
