For the very first time, Universal
Orlando Resort has introduced an all-new Dining Card Vacation Package that
allows United States and Canadian residents to experience culinary adventures throughout
the destination.
As part of the Dining Card Vacation Package, the food and
beverage dining card worth up to $1,000 can be used at venues across Universal’s
theme parks, hotels and Universal City Walk. The card is available for purchase
for select dates from November 7, 2024, through April 10, 2025, and includes
accommodations at one of Universal’s hotels and theme park admission.
Package holders can use the dining card at more than 200
venues including:
- Full-service restaurants like The Toothsome
Chocolate Emporium & Savory Feast Kitchen at Universal CityWalk – known for
its delectable, photo-worthy milkshakes and Mythos Restaurant in Universal
Islands of Adventure – considered by many to be the best theme park restaurant
in the world.
- Quick-service locations like TODAY Cafe in
Universal Studios Florida – where guests can enjoy baked goods in a
one-of-a-kind cafe inspired by NBC’s long-running morning show and
Illumination’s Minion Café – serving up inventive fare with nearly 20 items
inspired by characters and staples from the Minions franchise.
- Hotel dining options like the award-winning
Strong Water Tavern at Loews Sapphire Falls Resort where guests can enjoy a
tapas-style menu and more than 100 types of rum, the newly renovated Trattoria
del Porto at Loews Portofino Bay Hotel offering fresh, modern Italian cuisine
and delicious desserts or The Kitchen at Hard Rock Hotel, known for its
amped-up American favorites.
"Our dining offerings are continuously evolving and we
work incredibly hard to deliver memorable food experiences that offer something
for everyone," said Chef Jens Dahlmann, Vice President of Culinary
Operations at Universal Orlando Resort. "From our original dining concepts
to themed food inspired by beloved stories and characters, our offerings play a
significant role in the overall storytelling of our theme parks and have become
as much of a "must-do" as our amazing collection of
attractions."
The Dining Card Vacation Package is available for four- or
five-plus-night stays at one of Universal Orlando Resort’s hotels. The value of
the dining card (one per room) depends on the hotel and the number of nights of
the stay.
The package also includes 4- or 5+ Day Park-to-Park Tickets
to Universal Studios Florida and Universal Islands of Adventure – boasting more
than 60 immersive experiences across both parks. Guests also have the option to
add access to the Volcano Bay water theme park.
Universal hotel stays come with a host
of benefits, including Early Park Admission to The Wizarding World of Harry
Potter and Universal Volcano Bay up to one hour before the park opens (valid
theme park admission required), complimentary transportation to the theme parks
and Universal CityWalk and more.
Guests can also use this package to experience fan-favorite
marquee events included with park admission such as the Universal Holidays
celebration running November 22 through December 31, 2024, featuring festive
experiences like Christmas in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, Universal’s
Holiday Parade featuring Macy’s, the Grinchmas Who-liday Spectacular and
Universal’s Mardi Gras celebration – where guests can let the good times roll
