Favorite Snacks at Universal?

[Disneyhead]

The Kabobs in LC are quite tasty.

I wouldn't call this a favorite nor would I call it a snack, but I had no idea what I was in store for when my wife told me she wanted to stop by the NBC Grill thing for a 'slice' of banana cake:

Had that cake in December, really damn good.

My favorite snack is the Big Pink. That right there is good.

Is the top banana made out of marzipan?

Yes, it was marzipan.

Dining is going to have to expand as universal transitions to a primary destintination. It would make sense to include outside restaurants as the parks arent big enough to accomodate enough restaurants inside. Also as universal builds on site accomodations packages will natually make sense to expand to include universal dining as a way to lock in the money.

They need to make the in-park restaurants more attractive to guests as well. Finnegan's, Lombard's, and some of the quick service locations need real menu revamps.

I've always considered Finn's pretty solid if not very adventurous. Lombard's, Confisco, and many quick service locations I agree need help.

Yeah? I find a lot of the options there to be pretty bland in flavor. It hit me when I had Rattle & Hum in NYC recently. A lot of the same items, including a great Shepherd's Pie, just executed a lot better. Plus, let's face it, the Harry Potter quick service locations are doing this type of cuisine even better these days.

Confisco looks like it might have had a menu change pretty recently. I haven't been there in a few years but when I looked at the menu just now, I didn't recognize quite a bit of it.

It looks like all 4 in park table service restaurants have had recent tweaks to their menus. All of them but Finn's now have Beef Medallions. And Finn's now has a steak and a Seafood Pot Pie.

Has anyone ever stopped and asked, "what in hell are beef medallions?". Are they truly round? Are they a specific cut of cow? It is kind of like beef tips... tips of what exactly?

Ask for the potato/onion web from Finns with bacon and cheese. oh my God so good

Cinnabon roll. Yes, I can get them anywhere but I only get them at Universal. Sometimes I have one in place of a meal.

Anyone hear anything more about dining plan changes? I haven't used it since the last change.

I've been on the healthy vibe, this year I'll probably be bringing a lot of my own snacks. :look::cry:

I've been on a health kick the last 2 years and watch what I eat. But, it's still vacation so it's ok to splurge. I do try and substitute some healthy options in there though. Last year I had lunch in Springfield and rather than a Krusty Burger, I just had one of those deli style wraps. Pretty good actually.

As far as snacks go, I used to love the donuts that they used to have in the Kwik-E-Mart before Lard Lad opened. Something about them is different now though. Maybe it's just me.

Another one, simple but when it's lunchtime and the middle of the day, a Super Pretzel hits the spot

I absolutely love the strawberry slushie

Has anyone tried the Despicable Me Freeze Ray? I think it is a banana mango smoothie.
