I love that you are covering other parks besides Disney
Watch out Disney! The competition is real!
I love this! Universal is such a fertile area of expansion from DFB
For the longest time I thought Universal was part of Disney
DFB should just start doing all amusement parks. Maybe hit up Busch Gardens Tampa next time, then expand to Ohio and do Cedar Point and Kings Island. 🎢
Agreed can't stand Disney right now
This was great. Please, please, PLEASE put out more Universal content!!! We want all the tips and tricks for that resort too!
Also it would be great if you could do food recommendations (for both Disney and Universal) for people with dietary restrictions like vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, etc.
I've been WAITING for this video for 3 YEARS! Just in time for my family's Universal Trip!!
AJ! Best voice on the interwebs. I can’t tell you how happy hearing you makes me… plus the “ding” whenever you switch topics. So glad you’re doing Universal stuff as WDW has become cost prohibitive as of late. Now I get to hear you again as I plan our trip to Universal.
Man,this is so true! Really good voice for CZcams/broadcasting - one of the reasons I watch, lol
So happy y’all are covering Universal! We love both parks so much!
Chocolate pudding in Leaky Cauldron is incredible
Universal universal I cannot thank you enough for having a refillable drink option and having many of these machines throughout the park. You have saved my backpack from being filled with beverages and i thank you
Yes! The nostalgia is not there for me like at Disney, but Universal does SO many things better…
Banana pudding at Cabana bay literary brought tears to my eyes. So good!
Frozen butterbeer!
This is great-I never knew you guys had other park videos! It’s just nice to see other parks, but from your perspective, with your guys' style, the editing, narration, and of course, impeccable taste! Honestly one of my fave parts about Disney is the food, so this is incredibly helpful and entertaining. Thanks for doing these!
I'm definitely going to try Mythos, because I'm a lover of Greek food and I go on holiday to Greece every summer, so it'll be interesting to see how Universal does it. I'll be sure to give the food in the Leaky Cauldron a try too
So much was missed they was never tried. You guys have to go back and do a deeper research the feast at the 3 broom sticks and the brisket crepe 🤤
I love all of the universal content that we are seeing!
My favorite snack at Universal is at that stand that’s across from the Jimmy Fallon ride in the New York themed area of Universal Studios Florida - it’s an Apple streusel mousse cake! It’s delicious!
I hope they see some of these tips!
Loving the universal additions.
These videos lately are the some of the very very best. I alternate DW and USO each year and I'm at the point where I just have a playlist of your videos to relax to.❤
We’ve had a lot of fun making them! 💖 Thanks for being here!
As a Brit I always find the concept of British food being scary funny 😆
Bruh the breakfast you brits consume is nightmare fuel beans and blood sausage 🤮
Finally! You guys are amazing in making this videos. Change the channel to Disney and universal food blog❤❤❤
Chicken and waffles sandwich with maple mayo is my go-to quick service in Simpsons
Would love a best desserts video!
I love and adore Universal Orlando Resorts so much!!!!!!!
I still dream about the oat milk pineapple upside down shake at Toothsome. I can enjoy the whole thing, no problem! And Bice is the absolute best
Love this! I went to Universal last year kind of on a whim and when I got hungry in the middle of the day, I thought about DFB and Disney food and tried to look up an equivalent for Universal and found that there isn't really a good list of really worth-your-while food in Universal. So thanks for filling that void. And I can't wait until next year when you, presumably, cover Epic Universe.
A perfect disney trip is also a universal trip
Having been a watcher of DFB videos back when Joey used to do voice overs as well seeing you guys branch out in to universal is sooo surreal but nonetheless I’m super excited to hear your guys takes on the universal parks
Team members ... Lol we are called team members. Cast member is for Disney.
We’re going next year, so grateful for any recommendations you can give us!
Yayy glad to see more videos from universal they really do have great food
Getting ready for Horror Nights so this video is perfect
I’ve been waiting for a video like this for a long time and I’m so happy y’all showed the food and the menus !!!!! Ahhh perfect video for my planning ❤❤❤
You should also do standard videos of each section like you did with Epcot’s country food stands, like one on the Simpsons food stands, and another video on the superheroes stand. Those simpsons donuts delicious
Yay!! Universal content!!!
No mention of our favorite pasta place that is handmade and kid friendly… Vivo! The service is so amazing there and they even took my kiddos up to have them watch the cooks make pasta.
That sounds very nice!
Can’t wait!! We head to the parks in mid May for our first visit. So many great food choices. I love how you can hear the smile in your voice when you speak, AJ. Great video ☺️
Thanks for covering this park too! I watched your Disney videos and you saved my family a fortune. Surprised to see this video today in this park! Who else thought this?! 😂🎉
Thank you for this video ❤ maybe you could expand to other parks in the future too
REALLY looking forward to more Universal content! Florian's does have the best ice cream!
Thank you for posting this! Going next Saturday so this is perfect
Universal definitely needs more coverage, especially by a blog of your caliber!
I have not been too universal in over 25 years
When cider ferments it becomes vinegary. The cider may have been left open and out in warm temperature. (Not following food safety procedures)
Love this!
Quincy is the Universal Orlando go-to person, I think and her being in the team visit is a loaded asset.
And I think the Universal crew are called "Team Member" instead of "Caste Member" to differentiate with Disney.
Some quick service musts at Universal CityWalk are Hot Dog Hall of Fame, Bread Box, and Red Oven. Also be sure to grab an ice cream at Hard Rock's Emack & Bolio's and a fresh brick oven baked pizza at Sal's at Portofino Bay. Universal may not have Disney's expansive options, but it has its share of gems too
Fishy green ale is one of my absolute have to haves. Also the clotted cream ice cream
I heard the same complaint about lard lad donuts
I love the frozen butterbeer
I’m happy to see more Universal food recommendations. I’m a Disney AP, and live about 80 minutes from the parks. We actually have a lot of date nights at CityWalk, without even going into the parks. I’ll look forward to seeing some of the food suggestions there, as well as my regular Disney spots!
I enjoy a good butterbeer but I love and dream about pumpkin juice and the fizzy otter.
Nice to see you branch out to more theme parks. One note on this video, I had to divert my eyes throughout watching it on a large TV. The MANY close-up shots which zoom and pan was giving me motion sickness. Which is odd, I do not normally get ill on aggressive rides, but this was more like a feeling of sea sickness.
Take a shot every time AJ says "anyway"
Thanks so much for doing Universal!!
I would love to see a video of the seasonal options, like Mardi Gras and Halloween Horror Nights. Universal really shines with event foods! (Pizza Fries are amazing)
Mytos restaurante is amazing
We loved Minions cafe! Kevin’s salad was so good I came back to get it on two other days during our trip. One of the “minions” played a prank on us. We got a giant fork with our silverware. Can’t wait to go back again in 2025.
Seriously, where can I buy one of the yellow minion tables? This cafe was ADORABLE. 💛💛
Thank you for sharing information about Universal Studios. Circa 2000, my mother, my brother and I visited the Universal Citywalk. It was a lot cheaper and still immersive. I am a big fan of “Back to the Future” and other Universal Studios I.P.s.
I'm absolutely drooling just thinking about all the delicious eats you uncovered at Universal Orlando! Your dedication to sampling everything to find the best of the best is truly impressive. Can't wait to follow your curated list and indulge in some of the most mouthwatering treats on my next visit to the Universal Parks. Thanks for always keeping us informed and satisfied, DFBGuide! 🍔🍕🍰
There are a lot of sit down places at both parks and with city walk right in between their are even more
I really wanna try the tots at green eggs n ham
I have the perfect gift to give Homer, then. Thanks.
I have yet to have a meal at universal I’ve liked, let alone loved. I’m looking forward to trying again with this list!
Thank you for the cilantro warning!!
Butterbeer: I'm good with all 3, but I do prefer the hot or frozen options, depending on the time of day.
Hot ButterBeer all day, every day. will be in the parks in 30 days
The orange moose juice at Seuss landing is really good and a good price.
One of my favorite donuts ive ever had is from voodoo. Its their grape soda donut, its so good, ive only tried like 3-4 of their flavors, but the grape soda was by far my favorite.
I know I won't be going to universal for atleast another 2 years, but I had to check if you had recommendations for their food options as well. The only time I went was almost 15 years ago and it looks like the options are definitely better and I'm excited now
I tried a lot of these items during the Orlando Informer Meetup in February. It’s a higher priced ticket, but a great way to try a number of specialty food items - unlimited.
Great video!
Could you also include other area parks, and also (non-park) resort hotels?
Thanks for the info. Planning a trip end of September for HhN and Harry Potter. Staying at Hard Rock hotel. I will be looking forward to more of your Universal and IOA videos. I especially want to watch the food reviews. This will be our 4th trip but our first for HHN.
Thank you so much! Just in time for our first-time trip to Universal in 2 weeks!
Hi, how did it go? Was it worth it?
@@Zee-mu1zj it didn't for us. No one in our party is a fan of Harry Potter. My teenager enjoyed crazy rides, but my 7 yo and I were suffering waiting for him. Definitely do 1 park per day if you travel with more than 2 people or you will miss out. We just didn't have enough time to explore and spent a lot of time waiting even after paying hundreds for the express pass.
@@mariamoiseeva9685 Aw! How long did you go for?
@@Zee-mu1zj unfortunately, we had only 1 day for both parks. That's why I invested in express pass.
@mariamoiseeva9685 Oh, I see- Yes, you would definitely need more than one day, because it does appear to be quite a vast place, & you got the express passes too! Just Imagine if you hadn't! Hopefully you will get the opportunity to spend more time there in the future 🙏🏽
It is about time.....better park for a lot of people.
would love to see a video about the vegetarian options at universal!
Team Frozen Butterbeer!
Fun fact sticky toffee pudding often doesn't actually contain toffee traditionally its dates that are used instead but most people assume it is toffee and its so delicious no one ever questions it normally it has a more butterscotch sauce
I’m surprised they’re giving purple minions some attention because despicable Me two came out years ago. Also, it’s kind of like the grimace shake.
Hot butterbeer > frozen > original!
I just recently had a Lard Lad's giant pink donut over at Universal Studios Hollywood and it was absolutely delicious. I'm wondering if they also source them from a local Los Angeles bakery.
Those baked potatoes are SUCH a good idea when seeking something that isn't deep-friend HAHA!
Baked potato = the real MVP
I don’t know if this has been mentioned but at Green Eggs and Ham in Seuss Landing, you can order the Who Hash with the can on the side. That way you can keep the can but not have to worry about cleaning it out at the park.
Wow!
Hot butterbeer is the best version!
great video! I've been going to Universal for years and a personal favorite is Finnegan's. The apple butter with bread for their free appetizer is insanely good (it also comes with regular butter). I would usually either get the salmon or chicken breast but they changed the salmon dish- not sure how the new one is, but the chicken is great. Simple but delicious. Also the Coca Cola freestyle is so worth it. We don't drink a lot of soda but we got our money's worth with all the Powerade (gotta stay hydrated in the heat) and got some icee too with it.
Whenever I visit universal I always go to thunderfalls terrace and during the Jurassic Park 30th anniversary they had these amazing giant sweet chili wings but im not sure if it's still there🥲
Au tell me more about the London hut.
Sorry AJ, I'm team, frozen butterbeer and I love cilantro, lol.
10:32 wish they would bring back the original moose and goose juices.
When do universal have discount park tickets, such as buy 3 day park ticket and get 2 day free?
The Lard lad donut is best from the cart. The donuts in the stores are not always as fresh.
I never got to try the hot butterbeer (didn't know it was a thing for that matter), but I definitely prefer the frozen over the normal one. Normal just felt like drinking a flat cream soda for me.
Oh I'm tapped in 💅🏾
29:03 I was disappointed with the shakes at Toothsome as the Ice cream seems more like a custard rather than an icy refreshing ice cream. Now that I’m vegan, I haven’t tried any shakes on property recently.
Frozen Butterbeer but then the last time I was there they didn't have the hot version
I'm Team frozen butterbeer!
Broccoli on a baked potato?? What an abomination!! 😂
I’ve been to universal for all my life, and never knew they had a crepes spot😱I mean most of these actually I’ve never tried but I just never they sold crepes. Fresh as well!🤤🤤
I also love all the little notes about each food, like the cheaper price for a simple baked potato, and the loaded tots toppings, etc. I love all the tid bits of information😍😍
What is a London Taxi Hut?
I had a krusty burger and a Simpson donut.
Hot butterbeer all the way! Best taste of the three. Frozen actually has almost no taste.
I’ve never had a hot butterbeer. Where is hogsheads?
