Goodbye Lucy, Hello Kitty at Universal Orlando<\/strong><\/h1>\n

In August 2015, Universal Orlando suddenly and without advance public notice shuttered one of the last remaining original attractions from park opening 1990:\u00a0 Lucy \u2013 A Tribute<\/strong>.\u00a0 This iconic (yet dated) tribute to Lucille Ball left the park to make way for a new merchandise shop dedicated to Hello Kitty<\/strong>. \u00a0The Lucy tribute was a walk through display of Lucy’s career, mostly from the I Love Lucy<\/em> days. \u00a0It was a prime piece of theme park real estate just past the Universal Studios Store and park entrance–and I am sure many people just kept walking. \u00a0After 25 years\u00a0I’m sure the folks at Universal decided it was time to move on and do something new. \u00a0That ‘something new’ is a Hello Kitty shop which you can\u2019t help but notice as you make your way to Diagon Alley<\/strong> and points yonder.<\/p>\n

Despite Hello Kitty being created in Japan in 1974 and crossing to the United States in 1976, I missed the hype when I was a kid growing up in Newtown, Connecticut.\u00a0 The Los Angeles Times<\/em> has a fantastic piece on Hello Kitty history here<\/a><\/strong> which explains a lot of the back story on her so I\u2019m going to spare you the details.\u00a0 I don\u2019t think I even saw Hello \u00a0Kitty merchandise until I was an adult living in California.\u00a0 At Disney, Hello Kitty has a small portion of the Mitsukoshi Department Store in Epcot\u2019s Japan<\/a>\u00a0pavilion\u00a0and I thought the merchandise was cute but never something I would buy.\u00a0 Nor did my young daughter ever want anything with Hello Kitty on it (but show her a Disney princess item and chances were pretty good we\u2019d be parting with some money to indulge her wishes.)\u00a0 While Hello Kitty gets just a sliver of the massive Mitsukoshi, at Universal Studios Orlando she has an entire shop filled with merchandise that appeals to most everyone.\u00a0 As I saw this store for the first time, I felt myself being drawn to it by the display windows which were lit up on an otherwise dark street after the park closed.\u00a0 Since I thought those displays were so nice I decided to browse through the shop the next day.<\/p>\n

Isn’t this a great display?<\/p>\n

\"Hello
Hello Kitty store windows at night\u00a0<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

So who (or what) is Hello Kitty?\u00a0 Well, first of all she is not a cat from Japan:\u00a0 she is a cartoon girl<\/u> from England according to this article in Time Magazine<\/strong>. <\/a>\u00a0Sanrio, the creator of the Hello Kitty phenomenon actually has a bio for her which can be found here:\u00a0 Hello Kitty bio<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n

So now that we know Hello Kitty is not a cat and her real name is Kitty White and she has a family and friends and likes to bake cookies and make pancakes, what gives her so much appeal?\u00a0 Hello Kitty is basically a simple character with a blank expression so she can take on any emotion the viewer wants.\u00a0 After spending a bit of time in the Universal Studios shop, I can tell you I think Hello Kitty is incredibly cute and my mood got happier after being in there and taking these photos.\u00a0 From the way the merchandise was attractively\u00a0displayed to the bright colors, I just liked being in this place. \u00a0It was well\u00a0organized with plenty of space to walk. \u00a0Racks were filled, price tags were hidden and it was very cheerful.<\/p>\n

Hello Kitty – The Store<\/strong><\/h2>\n

From the Rodeo Drive side, you see this awning with Hello Kitty surveying her domain.<\/p>\n

\"Hello
Hello Kitty Storefront<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Inside there’s a marquee drawing you in:<\/p>\n

\"Hello
Hello Kitty Marquee in store. \u00a0Its Neat! \u00a0Its Bright! \u00a0It just drew me in.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

You’ll find purses, tote bags, luggage, candy, pajamas, mugs, school supplies, slippers, flip-flops and toys. \u00a0(You know, typical theme park stuff.) \u00a0Here are some of the items offered:<\/p>\n

\"Its
Its All About the Bow–my favorite shirt but not age appropriate for this mom of college kids. \u00a0<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\"Hello<\/p>\n

Hello Kitty Toys<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Hello
Hello Kitty Purse and Wallet (March 2016). I’m a Dooney and Bourke and Cole Haan gal, but these were cute.\u00a0<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"Hello
Hello Kitty Pajamas (March 2016.) I would have bought this night shirt.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"Hello
Hello Kitty Mug (March 2016). \u00a0Going to buy this on my next trip.\u00a0<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"Hello
Hello Kitty Dress for little girls and Plushies (March 2016)<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"Hello
Hello Kitty themed candy and treats. \u00a0<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\"And<\/p>\n

Lots of merchandise in this shop. \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

While it is always sad to see an iconic theme park attraction be replaced, I think Hello Kitty has great appeal and will tie in nicely with the\u00a0future Nintendo plans at Universal Orlando.<\/p>\n
