since the parks are surrounded by a residential area, there is a noise ordinance involved.
this limits UO from a full out fireworks display that others have seen at disney.
there is the one event at the Studios around the lagoon with film and minor fireworks that compliments the film
it is the history of universal movies from their beginning to present.
if you are up on old movies that Universal produced, then you would enjoy it very much.
music and lights add to the film display.
not a long event but maybe 15 or so minutes.
i lose track of time when in the parks........lol
special events are done for specific holidays such as nye.
the only package, if you want to call it that, for food is the very basic one.
if i am at select eateries in the park, i buy the meal and drink and buy the coupon deal promo.
at the main potter eatery at IOA, i get the rib platter.
think it is about $18.
at check out there are signs to advertise a deal you can buy with your meal.
for $21.99 (?) this past october, i could buy the meal listed above and get two coupons to be used within 14 days.
one coupon is for a snack and the other coupon is for a beverage.
these can be redeemed at either park anytime before 14 days.
butterbeer was at $5.99 but increased one dollar this week
i would use my snack credit for the butter beer later in the week and the beverage coupon for a bottle of soda.
i came out ahead on the deal.
Louies, Monsters Cafe in the studios are two other places i remember where this can be bought when you buy a meal.
if you buy a high end meal, it is worth it.
the regular food plans i don't participate in as there has been no saving value for me.
some newbies like the basic meal plan as they don't have to carry money on them and just use the meal plan
drink cups i don't do as some rides require you to store all items in the free lockers.
