Volcano Bay Food & Drink Discussion

[GadgetGuru]

There's a recent amount of regular theme park food (chicken + ribs...), but quite a bit of out-there food. I wonder if the stereotype of "theme park food" will change in the coming years

From the Orlando Sentinel in regards to food prices and future menu

Prices for food items have not been settled, but expect them to be in the “moderate theme park range,” Florell said. Universal is also considering ways to have food delivered within the attraction and may add breakfast items going forward.

I wonder what they mean by this, like have it float to you by canoe while relaxing on the lazy river?

I'd guess it's just delivery to cabanas and lounge chairs.

I thought that in the beginning until I rewatched the video with Ric explaining the food choices and he says quote:

...Its all about the experience though, that what part is our experience. For the food group. its all about the senses, all of the senses. We don't want you here just to eat, we want you to be able to enjoy unbelievable cuisine and unique pieces. We want you to enjoy incredible new restaurants and locations to get your food and new ways to get food to you. We want the food service piece to be the huge piece of the experience, and not only a huge piece of the experience but for us in particular we want it to be the exclamation mark to the experience. Its not going to be a separate thing because its totally integrated because you are going to spend a lot of time at Volcano Bay....(60 dishes blah blah blah)....I want to go back to this experience again because it isn't just getting food is the overall experience. Think back to what we've done when I talk about we put the same effort and passion into developing this as we did the WWOHP. Imagine walking around and not having a butter beer because you're going to be able to experience the incredible experience.

He then talks about toothsome and characters they developed to create world class dining. I think maybe I reached with the canoes but I think there may be some unique presentation and characters involved when it comes to dining here.

I may have missed this and my apologies if I did.. Has there been mention of if small coolers will be allowed like the Disney parks?

They are going to have a few picnic pavilions, so I would assume that outside food and drinks would be allowed.

Yeah, those most recent buildings next to the Cabana Bay service road remind me a bit of the oncs at Flame Tree Barbeque, sans the view.

Maybe they will have the CBBR assistant expand the range and find your TapuTapu with your order. Would be a triumph

Coca-Cola has developed a Kunuku soda for the park:

Thanks for that! In some ways I have not been paying attention to VB, but I am now thinking about days where I may find myself in Orlando next month...this was a good time for me to read this.

Where are the logos posted? I saw some ride logos too? I cannot find them on the Universal site.

 

[quinnmac000]

I had them in my email. One of my friends is there for the media day and sent it to me.

Thanks. If you get the ride logos let me know! Still looking for those.

The tacos and the ice cream look amazing. Were those announced earlier?

They were at the taste test for the media. And the tacos were announced on the Universal blog and social media long ago.
