Universal Kids Resort has added a new bookable experience for families, and this one is going to be very tempting for little Trolls fans.
The new Troll-ify Me! Experience is a Trolls-inspired makeover offering colorful character face paint, with optional in-venue upgrades for kid-size headwear and costumes. Reservations are now available online, and Universal says advance reservations are highly recommended.
Here is what families need to know before booking.
What is Troll-ify Me!?
Troll-ify Me! is a makeover experience at Universal Kids Resort where guests can get colorful character face paint inspired by the world of Trolls.
The experience is described as photo-worthy and takes about 15 minutes for the makeover itself. Universal recommends planning for up to 25 minutes total, which includes check-in, briefing, and the makeup experience.
This is a paid add-on experience, so it is separate from regular theme park admission.
How much does Troll-ify Me! cost?
The online booking price for Troll-ify Me! Package Level 1 is:
$25 per person, plus tax
That Level 1 package includes face paint only.
Theme park admission is still required, so families should think of this as an extra experience on top of the park ticket.
What package levels are available?
Universal lists three package levels for the Troll-ify Me! Experience.
Package Level 1
Face paint only
This is the package available for online booking. It is also available for purchase in the venue.
Package Level 2
Face paint plus kid-size headwear
This package is only available as an upgrade inside the venue.
Package Level 3
Face paint plus kid-size headwear plus a kid-size cosplay dress or shirt
This package is also only available as an in-venue upgrade.
Can you book Troll-ify Me! online?
Yes. Reservations can be made online at universalkidsresort.com, and Universal says advance reservations are highly recommended.
One important thing for parents to know: online booking reserves Package Level 1 only. That means the online reservation covers face paint, but upgrades to Level 2 or Level 3 would need to be purchased at the venue during check-in.
In other words, if your child may want the headwear or costume option, be prepared for an in-person upgrade decision.
Is full payment required when booking?
Yes. Payment is required at the time of online booking for Package Level 1.
Upgrades to Package Levels 2 and 3 are available at Sparkle Shine Glitter Glow during check-in.
What age is Troll-ify Me! recommended for?
Universal recommends the Troll-ify Me! Experience for guests 5 years or older.
Guests under 18 must be accompanied by a guest who is 18 years or older. Universal also notes that the adult may be asked to assist during the experience.
Can adults participate?
Yes, but with limits.
Adults can participate in Package Level 1 only, which is face paint only.
The headwear, cosplay dresses, and shirts are limited to kid sizes.
How early should guests arrive?
Guests must arrive on the date and time listed on their Troll-ify Me! ticket.
Universal notes that late arrivals may result in forfeiture, and rebooking is at the discretion of Universal Kids Resort.
Translation for parents: treat this like a scheduled experience, not a casual walk-up activity. Build in enough time to get there, check in, and handle any kid decision-making before the appointment.
Is there a Passholder discount?
No. Universal states that there are no Passholder discounts for Troll-ify Me! packages.
Is Troll-ify Me! worth booking?
For families with Trolls fans, this could be a fun photo moment and a sweet way to add something special to a park day. The Level 1 price is clear online, but families should keep in mind that the more dressed-up package options are only available as in-venue upgrades.
That does not mean families should avoid it. It just means this is one of those experiences where it helps to set expectations before you arrive.
If your child is happy with face paint, Level 1 may be enough. If they are likely to spot the headwear or costume options and immediately develop deep emotional loyalty to them, you may want to budget for a possible upgrade.
We will update this article after our opening coverage with a firsthand look at how the experience works in the park.
