We Tried All The Doughnuts At  Voodoo Doughnuts

6/3/2022

Comments

 
    Slightly over four years ago, a Portland based doughnut shop, opened a location at Universal Orlando CityWalk. This themed doughnut place already had a location at Universal Studios Hollywood. This doughnut place, Voodoo Doughnuts, quickly fit in nicely at Universal Orlando Resort. The queues for these doughnuts can grow long depending on time of day. In recent months, a separate mobile order pickup area was designed for guests.
​

               Currently, Voodoo Doughnut sells over fifty different types of doughnuts. Thirteen of those doughnuts classify as vegan doughnuts. As a result of this place, a strange idea developed in the minds of the Universal Food Blog team. What would it be like to eat most of these doughnuts at Voodoo Doughnuts all at once?

Breakfast at Universal Orlando Resort

11/4/2021

Comments

 
It's 8 am, and you and your family have been up since the crack of dawn. You guys are hungry, but where do you go? Today, we will present our recommendations for the best breakfast locations while you guys are at the parks. During this article, we will be mentioning certain items that can be used as a Universal Dining Plan credit. 

Keep in mind that Universal Orlando stopped selling the Universal Dining plan. All current credits officially end this year. So if you have been frantically looking for where you can purchase this plan, I have bad news that you can not buy the dining plan now. We are hoping it will return soon.

What Is Different at Universal Orlando Since March 2020?

6/26/2021

Comments

Since March 2020, we have learned to speak words like pandemic and unprecedented in everyday sentences. We started using phrases like “flattening the curve” and “social distancing” casually. The past fifteen months have created stress in ways most have never experienced. Humanity has been shown still needing to work on simply being “human” to one another. Our differences in thought and deed have divided governments, families, schools, churches, and employment situations.

There is good news. Based on newest data, we can all agree on something…we want to go on vacation! Many people are expected to spend more money on their next vacation than on previous vacations. The Orlando area attractions are anticipating some of the largest crowds in years from September through December 2021. This is even though few international travelers can visit Orlando currently waiting on government officials to allow travel.

For the 30th Anniversary of Universal Orlando this retro donut from Voodoo Doughnuts Orlando. This Doughnut is Yeast long-john filling with a raspberry jam. It was too pretty to eat but once we did it was totally worth it.
