As a seasoned Universal Studios enthusiast with a penchant for all things spooky and delicious, I must say that the offerings at Halloween Horror Nights 2024 have my taste buds tingling with anticipation!
It’s more frightening for me, as someone who enjoys Universal Orlando’s Halloween Horror Nights and movies, to ponder over ranking the haunted houses in 2024, than it is to manage my diet carefully due to being a Type 1 Diabetic. You see, I need to be mindful of my food choices because they play a crucial role in managing this condition.
In much the same way that I argue the significance of Universal’s character appearances, I’m constantly seeking small pleasures to brighten my day without causing an increase in numbers. Similarly, when I experience a dip in blood sugar levels, a thoughtful indulgence is necessary to keep me feeling good.
Rest assured, the rankings for Universal Studios Florida’s rides weren’t formulated on a whim or after a fast. Considering that, let’s discuss three options – two relatively healthier choices and one undeniably indulgent delight – I anticipate will still be available post-Universal Halloween Horror Nights 2024!
A Quick Disclaimer
Much like how I don’t hold any formal qualifications as a Ghostbuster or an official representative for New York City, County, and State, I’m not a certified dietitian or medical professional either. However, I have learned what seems to work best for me and my body in certain aspects. It’s important to remember that diabetes is not a one-size-fits-all condition; numerous factors influence the types of diets that people can follow successfully.
Upon examining the samples collected by our ground reporter Tiffney Ma for TopMob, two snack options stood out as somewhat healthier choices. However, if you have diabetes or are simply mindful of your dietary intake, remember to consider the usual pros and cons when making your food decisions.
After ensuring everyone is aware of our theme park safety guidelines, let me address the intriguing question echoed by John Hammond in the Jurassic Park Universe: “Who’s ready for a meal?” (By the way, I wonder if it’s possible for colleagues at Universal Parks & Experiences to maintain the tasty treat called Ghostbusters Mini Stay-Puft S’more on your menu as well?)
The Five Menu Items Worth Spending Your Halloween Horror Nights Money On
According to Tiffney’s observations from the Halloween Horror Nights 33 press event on its opening weekend, several options really caught her attention as the cream of the crop. To be honest, I found myself salivating while going through her notes, as they all seemed like potential winners to me.
But as you’ll see below, some options are a bit more carb/sugar intensive than others. With that in mind, here’s the all-star class of HHN 33’s food tasting:
- The Red Door – Insidious: The Further – “A hand pie filled with onion and potato. It looks sweet because of the red coating, but is actually savory. Great to grab and keep moving.”
- Poison Apple – Major Sweet’s Candy Factory – San Francisco – “Streusel caked with apple filling and caramel mousse. Definitely for those with a sweet tooth.”
- Ropa Vieja Walking Taco – Slaughter Sinema 2 – “This was one of my favorites. It had Doritos, ropa vieja, salsa roja, lettuce, sour cream, and Monterey jack cheese. It was hearty and delicious.”
- Heart “Beet” Tostada – Monstruos: The Monsters of Latin America – “Red beet tartare with hummus, vegan feta cheese, watercress and a crispy tortilla. Very light, but very flavorful.”
- Slashed Siblings Sweet Sampler – Triplets of Horror – Springfield – “If you can’t decide on one big item, this is a great option for you. You get a small bubblegum mousse balloon, a funfetti cupcake and chocolate cheesecake cone.”
As an unlimited feast enthusiast, if there were no boundaries, I’d gladly sample a bite of everything laid out before me. However, my experience at Universal’s Mardi Gras 2024 food tasting taught me that such indulgence isn’t quite feasible. In retrospect, I should have opted for just the delectable Piña Colada as my dessert choice, especially when tackling those Pastelóns. The subsequent sugar rush was entirely my fault; it didn’t completely ruin the rest of my evening.
It’s fortunate that theme parks provide ample opportunities for walking, so I took advantage of this by quickly hopping onto some late-minute rides before my leisurely return to the hotel. My insulin routine and a bit of strolling were also part of the plan, ensuring everything went smoothly. With that background in mind, let me share with you two tasty treats I hope will still be available after Universal’s Halloween Horror Nights 2024.
My Healthy-Ish Universal Halloween Horror Nights Snack Picks
I’ve mentioned it before, but I’m eager to come back to Universal Studios Florida so I can sample two food items that have caught my eye. The first is the Ropa Vieja Walking Taco from Slaughter Sinema 2, which offers a tasty combination of either Doritos or vegan-friendly Fritos, along with plenty of vegetables and protein.
Because the name includes “walking”, it’s evident that’s what I’ll be doing while enjoying it, especially if the wait time on the VelociCoaster is manageable. If a vegan option from Halloween Horror Nights 2023’s haunted houses is worth bringing back, then undoubtedly it must taste great!
Currently, I’m craving for the bite-sized treat, “Heart Beet Tostada” from Monstruos: The Monsters of Latin America. And I can’t wait any longer! Have a look at the picture below and you’ll understand why.
It appears the dimensions in that official image make it an ideal choice for either a quick snack or a substantial bite, striking a nice balance between being too little and too much. This balance is crucial when deciding what dishes to choose and which to pass up. While there are instances where indulging in a sweet treat can be a dream come true, I’d also like to suggest an option for those who genuinely crave something sweet.
The Halloween Horror Nights 2024 Dessert I’d Totally Grab As A Sweet Treat
Sure thing! It seems like everything is going smoothly with my diabetes management today. I’ve been drinking plenty of water, spending the entire day at the park, and only had three rides on Revenge of the Mummy before lunch. In the middle of the day, it would be ideal to enjoy a sweet snack, especially if all that activity has kept my blood sugar levels within the lower range.
Given the information provided and considering my preferences, I would most likely choose the Poison Apple treat you mentioned earlier. This delight is sold by Major Sweet’s Candy Factory in San Francisco, but its seemingly innocuous image might lead to unexpected consequences if consumed carelessly.
In case I’m managing my sugar levels effectively at the moment or require something quick to counteract an unforeseen low, this is what I would opt for from the options presented. Essentially, being well-informed and prepared is crucial for enjoying even foods you might think are off-limits. Additionally, if you’re lodging in suitable accommodations, there are handy walking trails for those seeking to burn off their sweets.
Just like how various terrifying attractions such as scare zones and haunted houses differ at each Universal Studios park during Halloween Horror Nights 2024, the food scene is also expected to be equally varied. I always get excited about this aspect when preparing my trips to these entertainment spots, for creativity and attention to detail can lead to delicious dining experiences.
Even if these mouth-watering options aren’t available when I arrive at the main entrance of Universal Orlando Resort, I’m confident I’ll find something to satisfy my hunger safely. Regardless of being hungry or not, it’s definitely worth visiting Universal Studios for Halloween Horror Nights 2024!
The festival is running concurrently at the Hollywood and Orlando parks within the U.S. right now, and it will continue until the closing night on November 3rd. Don’t forget to catch the latest Wolf Man trailer; you might just encounter a creature similar to that when visiting the park!
