🪄5 Must-Try Bites at Epic Universe (And a Few To Skip)

Between dragon dens, dark castles, and toadstools, we tried lots of good food at Epic Universe. Some bites were so good I’m still dreaming about them. Others, not so much. Here are 5 things we loved at Epic Universe (plus a few side notes of what we didn't.) 🐉 1. Meatlug’s Chicken Bowl – Spit Fyre Grill (Isle of Berk) Spit Fyre Grill is a counter service spot near the ride Fyre Drill. You can mobile order or walk up to order at the window. The Chicken bowl? Absolute fire. Meatlug knows what’s up. It was savory, and flavorful and just felt right in Berk.  It was a chicken breast on a stick, with a delicious drizzle of paprika sauce, grilled brussel sprouts, roasted red peppers, shredded cheddar, and ancient grains. Healthy, but satistfying! I also tried the Rekorderlig Strawberry-Lime Cider, it’s basically summer in a cup. Highly recommend if you like your drinks sweet and a little sparkly.  Meatlugs Chicken Bowl & Cider  Meatlugs Bowl SpitFyre Grill seating area Stoi...

I recently stayed there and couldn’t wait to spill all the details.

Helios is located adjacent to the new park, but furhter away from the original two Universal Orlando parks.  Lobby Desk 🌟 Theme: Mediterranean Magic with Modern Luxury Helios has a stunning Greek-Mediterranean theme that feels both upscale and relaxing.  The hotel is one main building with only 500 rooms, not a resort style layout with multiple wings or buildings. There is one pool, within close proximity to the back of the resort. There are ample loungers, umbrellas, complimentary towels, sunscreen, and cold water. They have roaming servers to bring you drinks as well. The pool has a zero entry area for kid...
