Universal Orlando adds two new dining and entertainment packages

April 30, 2012, 2:35 PM · Universal Orlando is offering two new meal packages for visitors who want VIP seating for its new summer shows.

Universal's Cinematic Spectacular

Universal's Cinematic Dining Experience will include dinner at Lombard's Seafood Grille in Universal Studios Florida, as well as dessert on the restaurant's waterside boardwalk area, where diners can watch the new Universal's Cinematic Spectacular show. Universal's Superstar Character Breakfast will include breakfast (*update: the restaurant isn't specified) with characters from the new Universal's Superstar Parade, including SpongeBob SquarePants, Dora the Explorer and the Despicable Me Minions, as well as admission to a reserved viewing area for the day's parade.

Both packages will be available only as add-ons to Universal Orlando vacation packages, which are arranged through Universal's website. The dinner package will be $44.99 per adult and $12.99 per child and will begin June 1. The breakfast package $26.99 per adult and $10.99 per child and will begin June 15.

Currently, there is no real sit down breakfast available at studios - you can get food at bolaungerie (I know I spelled that completely wrong, I still don't know how to pronounce it!) or out in Citywalk plus Islands has Confisco and 3Brooms. I also wonder how this will affect park open at studios since normally it's pretty calm (read: completely dead) unless it's a national holiday.

Yeah, we know, anything to take a crack at down playing any Universal news with negativity. Stick to your 2 hour lines at MK, I'll be sitting pool side sipping a daiquiri by 2PM after riding eveything in both parks come June 21st.

You may get on Space Mountain by that time if you arrived at rope drop.

I was just pointing out a behavior pattern. I can't figure Dom out. He claims to be a Disney fan, and if my memory serves correctly, he voted for Tower of Terror over Forbidden Journey (but had never ridden ToT). I could be wrong, I am too lazy to back and read all those comments.

Either way, I doubt he has seen the new Universal night time show in person.... he just likes to make comments to get a reaction. I simply like to point out his nonsense.

The old 360 show was pretty cool, but I am sure the new one is much better. I will find out soon enough.
