Food Review

3.5/5
Loaded Tots

It's your typical tater tots with chili sauce. I thought the chili was a little salty and the sauce was not thick and hearty enough. The tater tots were fried well.
They did give you a good portion.
It's the upscale version of your school cafeteria food.

5/5 
Butterbeer (Cold, Frozen or Hot)

I had a frozen butterbeer.
I love this it was a light, creamy and frothy version of a root beer float. I thoroughly enjoy it and it's a fan favorite.
It hit the spot on a sunny day, like today. Plus, you can enjoy yourself while walking around. Cheers!

2/5
Spiced Cashew Brittle

It was horrible. It was hard as a brick and cut too thick. It tasted fake and sweet.
Hands the down worst thing I tasted today.

5/5
Loaded Nachos (Chicken Tinga, Pork Carnitas or Beef Birria)

The best thing I tasted I got the beef birria as the topping.
It was covered nicely and had a side of guacamole.
It was a great choice and very filling. And, it was pretty to look at.

4/5

Personal Gourmet Pizza (Pepperoni or Cheese)

I didn't get a chance to eat it there, it was for to go. I got the pepperoni pizza. It was good for amusement park pizza, nothing to write home about.
It had the typical oily texture but not too oily and had the pepperoni pizza smell. It was good portion size. I was satisfied.

4.5/5
LARD LAD DONUTS
Giant Donuts (The Big Pink or Chocolate Glazed)

I bought this and took this home. 
I got the big pink donut.
It was big and good. And the donut was fluffy. The pink glaze was very sugary. It wasn't the best donut in the world but I was satisfied and I understood the hype. It's worth it, you probably can't finish it by yourself so share it with friends.

Overall:

This is typical amusement park food so don't expect too much but it's still good.

I had a slice of my friend Sticky Toffee Bread Pudding and Shepherd’s Pie that was good.

If your going with friends everyone gets something different and gets a "tasting" of all the different options. 

One thing I liked was they put the prices of the items on the tasting menu so you know what you're getting.

From what I had I recommend the nachos and butterbeer.

*** Today was rehearsal rides day, they had a technical ride day to test all the rides since
We came on a good day. I got to ride most of the popular rides the transforming ride and a few glitches toward the end. The mummy ride was my favorite. On a normal day, it would take forever to ride the rides.
Today was a surprise I didn't expect a chance to ride the rides.

Tips:

-Use your own money for drinks and desserts to not waste o

 your stamps. Use it only on food.

-Download the Universal Hollywood App.
It's very informative and user-friendly.
It has everything you need to know.

-If you want to learn about different packages and VIP information, you have to do a little research on your own because they don't promote it as much as other amusement parks.

And, you can go on the website and call customer service, and ask around.
