3	* After the tragic 2016 Pulse nightclub shooting, which claimed the lives of several Universal Team Members (Jonathan Camuy, Anthony Laureano, Xavier Serrano, Shane Tomlinson, Luis Vielma, Jerald Wright), Universal Orlando held an employees-only memorial event the following Thursday that paid to tribute all those who had fallen; and broadcast the event to the employees at the Universal parks in Hollywood, Japan, and Singapore. Along with that, they also began to use the slogan, "Love is Universal", around the company. Later on in September of that year, Universal further paid tribute to the victims by placing their names on a window (pictured) that can be seen near ''Theatre/UniversalsHorrorMakeUpShow''.
4	* When Universal Studios Florida opened in 1990, Disney took out a full page ad in the Orlando Sentinel to formally welcome their new neighbor.
5	* Any little kid that's overwhelmed with joy when they first meet the likes of Spider-Man, [=SpongeBob SquarePants=], The Simpsons, Optimus Prime, the Mario Bros., or a Minion. Or going through "The Wizarding World of Harry Potter", ''Ride/DespicableMeMinionMayhem'' , or ''Ride/SuperNintendoWorld''.
6	* The ending of ''Ride/ETAdventure'', with the titular character wishing you farewell (and actually saying your name!)
7	** If you're walking through the exit hallways at the right time, you'll hear, ''[[AlwaysWithYou "I'll be right here..."]]''
8	* There's also the ending of ''Ride/DespicableMeMinionMayhem'', where Gru saves the girls, reveals to the trio his 1st Anniversary gift to them and happily declares how much he loves them.
9	* The ending to ''Ride/BackToTheFutureTheRide'', while quick, somewhat qualifies too, just because of Doc's final words to the riders:
10	-->'''Doc Brown''' (gleefully): You did it! Not only did you catch Biff and save the universe, but you proved that my latest invention is a success! Go forth, time travelers, and remember the future is what you make it!
11	* The Universal 100th show, which is essentially a giant and lovingly-crafted homage to the company's legacy of films. It's especially moving to any big film fan or historian.
12	* The fact that the Studio Tour queue and its starting area contains tribute posters to some of their oldest films, like ''Film/ThePhantomOfTheOpera1925'' and ''Literature/AllQuietOnTheWesternFront'', plus featuring the latter in a homage video to all their Best Picture winners, shows that Universal still loves them very much, and hasn't forgotten about them in favor of more popular films like ''Franchise/DespicableMe'' and ''Film/JurassicPark''.
13	* At the end of ''Ride/TransformersTheRide'', Optimus Prime thanks the riders for their bravery during the mission. For any Transformers fan, it's just beautiful to see their childhood hero thank them.
14	** Heck, just Prime having ''unconditional'' faith in the riders:
15	-->'''Optimus Prime''': Evac believes you can help him protect the [=AllSpark=]. I believe you can, too. So the fate of the earth is in your hands.
16	* ''Ride/TheSimpsonsRide's'' Springfield area has Moe's Tavern, with a 2nd level that shows drawings of the many guest characters from the show, but the heartwarming part comes with two pictures: [[TearJerker Homer embracing his late mother, Mona,]] and Krusty with his daughter.
17	* As on the [[Series/BarneyAndFriends television series]], ''A Day in the Park with Barney'' ends with "I Love You," an already heartwarming song to fans of the purple dinosaur. As an added touch, {{heart\|symbol}}s come down from the ceiling during the song's second stanza. In other words, the show ends with love literally in the air.
18	** A lot of the reason the ''A Day in the Park with Barney'' show ultimately stuck around for such a long time is fairly endearing. It was hailed for being one of Universal's only really sensory-friendly attractions. Especially later on in the attraction's life, it was common for guests with disabilities to be treated like royalty by team members who worked the show, making sure they got as much time with the dinos as they pleased.
19	* Following the death of Creator/StanLee in November 2018, fans created a makeshift memorial in the entrance of ''Ride/TheAmazingAdventuresOfSpiderMan'' at Islands of Adventure.
20	* While it blunts the impact of the original book's ending, but a section themed to ''Literature/TheLorax'' in Seuss Landing adds one more verse to the story, with the truffula trees blooming again along the Street of the Lifted Lorax, and the UNLESS stone now reads "BECAUSE".
