Universal Fan Fest Nights Is Offering Up Some Fun New Dining Experiences

Universal

The themed food out at Universal Studios during the Universal Fan Fest Nights has been shown off with a new Dining Pass

Part of the fun of going to theme parks is always the various food and treats you can sample while in the mix, and it looks like we are getting some extra new options for those partaking in the Universal Fan Fest Nights in the coming month. Not only will many of the usual options be available out there in the park, but it looks as if they are doubling down on all of the fun to further immerse us all in the various IPs we can head out there to see. Even if it will be for a limited time between April 25th to May 18th. During that time, though, to have some extra incentive to head on out to the Universal Studios Hollywood park, we have a massive list of things to try and even a few extra grown-up beverages for those who might like to partake in all of that.

There is a massively long list of options that you can see below with Dungeons & Dragons getting more of the beverages in the mix and Back To The Future getting the soda shop treatment in Universal Studios out there. Not to mention that The Wizarding World will have a full line of meals that take us through three courses in the mix, along with various treats at the carts all around the park too. If that is not enough, though, we will all be able to pick up a new Dining Pass during the Universal Fan Fest Nights for an extra price that will give us access to six different items during the trip out there. Allowing us various drinks and two different entrée items, deserts, and various other snacks while we are running about the part. You can have a look at the full menu a bit lower with some sample looks at how tasty some of these things might be. It includes a fun Fireball for us to take in and Yoshi getting some highlights in the park after waiting so long for it. All of them look like they will be amazing.

Walk on down to the comment section and let us have those thoughts about all of this there while giving up some fun discussion.
