Universal Studios wants to give you something more to feast on this year, other than butter beer and oversized sprinkled donuts. In fact, there’s a new report that suggests Universal Studios Orlando might be looking to bring a new food festival to its theme park this summer. Here’s what you need to know.
A New Food Festival Is Coming To Universal Studios
It seems like Universal wants to give its good neighbor Walt Disney World a good run for their money (quite literally) by giving guests a food festival that might rival that at Epcot’s International Food Fest each year. But instead of hitting one country after another at Epcot, Universal wants to have more of a summer evening vibe with food trucks and pop up tents.
Apparently, Universal wants to put on a new festival in order to balance out the park crowds. Here are some of the items that you can expect throughout the park:
- Arepas
- Beef Empanadas – $12.99 – picadillo beef-filled pastries, cucumber, and tomato salad
- Bud Light – $8.50
- Cigar City Jai Alai – $8.50 – an IPA beer
- Cream of Tomato Soup – $5.99 – side dish
- Corona Extra – $9.00
- Coxinha
- Dogfish Head Seaquench – $10.00 – sour ale
- Elotes Asados –
- Fruit Cups – watermelon and pineapple
- Lumpiang Shanghai

- Melts – $9.99-$11.99 – your choice of flavors melted together on a French load: 3-Cheese Classic, Smoky Brisket, Vegan
