All throughout their resort, there are sweet, savory, tangy and delicious snacks that deserve…

… I mean demand the public’s attention!

Not only do the Universal Orlando snacks deliver, but ALL of these that I mention are affordable at just under $10!

You simply cannot deny that at this point you are intrigued by the prospect.

Today, I ask you to be open minded and read on as I share Universal Orlando snacks that I believe you simply HAVE to try!

Please keep in mind that the prices are constantly changing and I’ll do my best to keep them up-to-date.

2025 Ultimate Guide to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter: Tickets, Rides, Tips and More!

Ready to take an adventurous journey to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter?

Wizards call it home. Muggles call it the Islands of Adventure.

And us Harry Potter fans?

We just think of it as our own personal heaven.

The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Orlando Resort is one of the most popular and iconic theme parks of all time.

With the films grossing over one billion dollars, the scrawny, green-eyed Chosen One has got many supporters in the Muggle world.

And if you are one of them good guys… WELCOME TO THE TEAM!

Here at ThemeParkHipster, we are totally obsessed with the ragtag bunch of teenagers that vanquished the Dark Lord.

Personally, I can recite the movies to you as they play– word-for-word (well, if I’ve had A LOT of coffee I can).

So, it is a small wonder that I know the Wizarding World like the back of my hand.

Luckily for you, I’m ready to spill the beans (magic or otherwise)!

THE BIG PINK Simpsons Donut at Universal Studios– It’s bigger than your face!

Are you ready to EAT the BIG Pink Simpsons donut at Universal Studios?

For a true Simpson’s fan, the Big Pink is a thing of legend. It is the ambrosia of the gods and the apple of Eden.

And yes, it is indeed Homer Simpson’s favorite food item.

I’m going to dial the drama down (a little) for you non-Simpson-loving creatures.

The Big Pink (as you can probably tell by now) is the donut that features in the much-loved Simpson franchise.

The protagonist of the series– Homer Simpson, loves them to the point of obsession. He even refuses to live in a world where donuts don’t exist.

Yes, the Big Pink is that good.

Don’t trust Homer’s taste?

You can go get yourself one at Springfield– the one that exists in the real world.

A Wizard’s Guide to Ollivanders Shop at Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure

Are you ready to take a secret trip with me to Ollivanders at Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure?

I was browsing through The Daily Prophet while my kettle was pouring me a cuppa. And Merlin’s beard, would you believe what I found?

Ollivanders in Hogsmeade!

Now, I knew that the Muggles actually pay to get into Diagon Alley in London (through the Portkey at Universal Studios, Florida), I also knew that Ollivanders was a huge success with the Muggles.

They love waving fake wands around while Ollivander secretly cast spells (the sly old fox).

But a whole new branch in Hogsmeade (in Universal Studios) was something I would have never predicted!

So of course, I packed up my truck (well, it packet itself), and decided to investigate both the shops.

And you, my lucky wizard/witch, are coming with me!

But hold your threstals!

It is of utmost importance that this piece of parchment does not fall into the hands of a Muggle.

So please keep it off that thing they call the ‘Ethernet’, ‘interweb’ or whatever alright?

Alright, now grab some Floo Powder, and off to Ollivanders we go!
