I mean its pretty well documented if you want good food you either go to citywalk or three broomsticks

Citywalk is never an option. I'm not leaving the park just to eat. I ONLY grabbed food from H&D because it was already 4pm & right next to Waterworld (which was at 430pm).

Mentally, Three Broomsticks is a sit down & relax type of dining. Not devour my food fast & furious so I can move onto the next thing.

Minions was just too far out of the way & I had forgotten about Nintendo Cafe (I'm so used to it being a defunct candy store)

I'd love to see it re-themed it to a Drifter's Cantina. Obviously it wouldn't be the same size/scale as Beijing, but the menus are extremely similar and I feel like it wouldn't be a huge lift to add some production design to the place.

Sure but can the food be improved

I never thought Disneyland food was that great but....compared to most of USH. I just wish they could take it up a notch for the prices your paying

I've never found the food at the Universal parks to be objectionable. Gourmet? No. But it's always decent, and sometimes legitimately good depending on where you are. Plus, if you take the food quality up a notch, you can expect the prices to follow suit, and probably at a rate that's still disproportionate. So I get what you're saying but the solution you're looking for isn't on this particular path.

So I wanted a fancy drink, didn't need to be alcoholic (would've been nice though), so I decided to give this 60th Anniversary offering a try. Worth it.
20240812_121923.jpg
"Cosmic Pop" - $11
(Sprite, blue curacao syrup, grenadine and sparkling cranberry juice topped with blue raspberry pop rocks. (Non-Alcoholic)

It was actually really good, it would've been better with less ice & included vodka. I'd consider this a "virgin Jurassic Water". They gave the pop rocks in a small cup to add them yourself.

***If I remember correctly, I also saw this offered at Mel's since I almost got it there when passing by

It's that time of year again- "Happy Lunar New Year" (as of yesterday officially).

I sadly realized we won't even get the half-assed overlay at H&D this year due to "WICKED", especially with the recent casting audition.

They could've easily pushed the "Year of the Snake" with Slytherin inspired food/merch!
RIP USH LNY! (at least give Hello Kitty her LNY dress)

It's truly a shame they're only barely acknowledging the holiday this year. Makes me miss the pre-pandemic event with Mr. Ping.

I think I'm more annoyed by the fact Mr Ping didn't become a permanent meet-n-greet in the park (along with his Noodle House.... yea I'm looking at you Power-Up Cafe)
