Domo Cafe

We picked a good weekend to be in So Cal. While we were down there for DCon, we took a chance and got on the wait list for the new Domo Cafe that just opened in Buena Park, CA. It's in the same spot that the Gudetama Cafe was at. The kept the Gudatema Egg that tells you if they are open or closed but removed Gudetama and replaced it with Domo. When walking in thru the doors when it was our turn to go inside is that all the employees will greet you at the same time. They had a good amount of merch available, a photo op with Chef Domo, photo booth and a claw machine that wasn't working yet. All of the Domo Cafe employees were very friendly. We were told that that they would be receiving new Domo merch every week throughout the summer so you'll have to check back each week to see whats new.

The food was really good!!! It was way better than the Gudetama Cafe food. The drinks were okay or maybe it was just the one that I had. I would go back for the food and try a different drink. The photobooth had a line so we didn't have a chance to get too close to it. Maybe next time. Hopefully their claw machine will be working then too.

USH Halloween Horror Nights Opening Night 2025

We went to the opening night for Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Hollywood. Tickets were sold out for the night as well as the express pass. This year there are 8 haunted houses, 4 scare zones, 2 shows, Terror Tram and various themed food/drinks and merch. We made it through all 8 haunted houses, scare zones and Terror Tram. Tried a few themed food and drinks and bought some HHN merch. We did all of this with the express pass. The only thing we did not do was watch Chainsaw Man at the Dreamworks Theater which was new this year. We skipped The Purge show since we had already seen it a couple years prior.  

Magic The Gathering x Spider-Man Activation at SDCC 2025 Recap

The Magic: The Gathering x Spider-man activation was pretty cool. We stopped by preview night which was a preview for press/media to check out. They had 5 different welcome decks that you could possible get. They had a comic book room where you can play the game or if you wanted to learn how to play they could teach you as well. They also had the Daily Bugle newspaper, comic book and plenty of photo ops. For press/media night, they served drinks, food and had a DJ. Overall it was a fun experience.

Southpark Activation at SDCC 2025 Recap

South Park had their offsite activation pretty far away from everyone else this year. They had a ticketed RSVP line and stand by line. The tickets went as quick as they were released. They were pretty strict on the food/drink policy and that we couldn’t bring in any opened drinks or food including snacks. Kinda absurd to make people throw their stuff away. We get that they wanted us to buy their food, drinks and merch but that’s asking for too much. We were there to experience their activation. They had some cool theming inside and a few photo ops. They had a stage that showed clips from the show. They also had a South Park Trivia contest. Not sure how people were picked for it. On our way out from the activation they gave us button packs. It was an okay activation but not worth waiting in line for.
