This week’s Top Three Things you should be eating at Universal Orlando takes an interesting turn. In the height of the Halloween Horror Night season, our suggestions for things you should be eating at Universal Orlando do not involve Halloween Horror Nights food.

This week’s Top Three Things spends time at quick service locations at Universal CityWalk Orlando and even includes a beverage or two. In the strangest twist of all, this week’s things you should be eating at Universal Orlando have not even been tried by us at the time of writing. If you are brave enough, come along for this unusual selection of things to eat at Universal Orlando Resort.
New Brews in Wizarding World of Harry Potter
Though this suggestion does not count as a food item, it deserves some recognition. In the Hogsmeade area of Universal Islands of Adventure, the Hog’s Head Pub serves various beverages, including all three types of drinkable Butterbeer. We enjoy visiting this location near The Three Broomsticks quick service location.
Last week, some new alcoholic beverages “apparated” to the Hog’s Head for witches, wizards, and even muggles to enjoy. The two new beverages are Daisyroot Draught and Dark Forest Ale. They each cost $12.78.

In addition, for the Panda Express 40th anniversary, Panda Express rewards members can order an Apple Pie Roll. Panda Express celebrates its 40th anniversary with the introduction of the Apple Pie Roll, a sweet and fun American Chinese creation featuring a combination of juicy apples, fall spices, and cinnamon sugar like a classic American apple pie and wrapped in a crispy and flaky wonton wrapper, like a quintessential Chinese egg roll.
Panda Express will mark its milestone anniversary throughout October by offering all Panda Rewards members the opportunity to redeem one free Apple Pie Roll while supplies last. Sign up via the free Panda Express mobile app or online at PandaRewards.com.
