These holiday drinks near La Bamba were so good 🎄✨
Super refreshing and absolutely beautiful — especially the blue one with the added glitter 💙✨ It felt very on-theme for the season and was honestly as fun to look at as it was to drink.

🎄✨ Holly Jolly Wasabi @ Cowfish ✨🎄

Okay but hear me out — despite the name, this drink has ZERO wasabi taste 😂
The Holly Jolly Wasabi at Cowfish was actually so tasty. It’s made with New Amsterdam® vodka, Kahlua®, house-made gingerbread syrup, and milk, and it’s gluten free 🙌

We even asked the staff about the name and they said every single day people ask if it tastes like wasabi… and they feel totally vindicated because they told their boss it should never have been named that 😂

Moral of the story: don’t let the name scare you — it’s creamy, festive, and absolutely worth ordering.

Sipped my way through the Wicked-themed drinks at Universal and had some thoughts 🍹✨

We tried Popular Potion and Enchanting Elixir—and honestly, both were good! Not Epic-level good (those still reign supreme for me), but definitely better than your average theme park drink. These actually had flavor and balance, not just a straight punch of sugar.

Between the two, I preferred the green one—less sweet, more refreshing, and a little more interesting overall. If you’re expecting something nuanced rather than pure sugary punch, these are worth a try.

Fun, themed, and thoughtfully done—just don’t expect them to dethrone the Epic drinks 👀💚

Kayla’s GF Grinch Breakfast review 🎄💚
This year was even better than last year — and it’s officially one of my favorite meals of all time.

It truly felt like a special meal. Not theme park food. Not rushed. More like a legit city sit-down restaurant experience. The meal comes with an appetizer, entrée, and dessert, and there was so much food — I left absolutely stuffed.

I’m gluten free and ordered the chilaquiles (yes, GF!) and WOW. Basically chicken nachos in the best way possible. The chicken was delicious, the chips held up perfectly, and the sauce was unreal. Please, Universal, make the chilaquiles a forever thing because I am fully hooked.

I also got the GF muffin and fruit, plus the GF ginger cookies for dessert. Cookies were okay (I’m just not a big ginger fan), but I really appreciated having solid gluten-free options included throughout the meal.

Meeting the Who’s is always fantastic, and the Grinch line at 8:30am was only about 5 minutes — absolute perfection.

Grinch Breakfast, you’ve earned a permanent spot at the top 💚🎄

Sometimes it’s the simple things we love the most. Like rope dropping the Surfside pool with a coffee from Beach Break Cafe (sorry Brendan Fraser). What’s a simple universal thing you love?

Episode 24 is here! We blast through some news before embarking on the holiday tradition of Family Game Night. Join us for How May I Yelp?, where Kelly reads unhinged and out of context reviews of Universal restaurants, leaving Kayla and Shelby to guess what on earth reviewers were talking about. Then we wrap up 2025 (!!!) with a little UUOP Network Family Feasting!

Just a few of the Universal things we are grateful for this year- baguettes, spicy nuggets, magical opportunities, smoky carrots, Oak and Star naps, on-ride photos, grumpy dads, and so much more.

First and foremost, we are so thankful for the big and small moments with the people that make Universal feel less like a resort and more like home.

Happy Thanksgiving! If you’re celebrating today, we hope that the only thing fuller than your plate is your heart. We are so thankful for all of you!

Banana, pineapple, and soft serve — tropical perfection in a cup. Would you share it with your player 2 or keep it all to yourself? 🎮🍦💛

🌴 Cabana Bay Bayliner Diner 🌴
Seriously, this place has something for everyone!

🍣 AHI TUNA BOWL – $16
Seared tuna with wakame seaweed salad & pickled cucumber over furikake ginger rice. So fresh and flavorful!

🍗 MOJO CHICKEN – $17
Citrus mojo roasted chicken with your choice of two sides — and bonus: it’s dairy free for Kelly 🙌

🐥 Gluten-Free Kids Chicken Tenders – $8
Yes… Kayla got the kids meal. Yes… she’s an adult. And yes… she had enough food for like three meals 😆

Everything here can be made gluten free (yay for Kayla’s safe eats!), everything was super delicious, and the portions were huge. 10/10 would dine again.

Have you eaten at Bayliner Diner!? Any recommendations?!

Universal HHN food this year did NOT disappoint, but the Cram Tots? Still the GOAT. Even beat out Kayla’s favorite — those Minion Cauliflower Wings 👀💛

So who snagged Cram Tots first in their HHN food draft this year? Because whoever did… made the right pick. 💯

Family, frights, and food. In that order. Thank you . You were incredible.
