Food Policy During Halloween Horror Nights 33

While Universal Orlando allows small snacks that don't require heating to be brought into the parks during the day, that's not the case for Halloween Horror Nights. Outside food cannot be brought in. The sole exception is for frogs with dietary needs. You'll need to partner with security upon arrival to authorize the food you want to bring in.

As for drinks, no beverages are allowed — including bottled water. Empty refillable bottles are permitted and can be filled with water at any water fountain or Coca-Cola Freestyle machine around the park. Orlando is still pretty hot in September and October. Remember to stay hydrated!

Tips for Eating During Halloween Horror Nights 33

Whether you stop at a restaurant in CityWalk or want to try an eerie event-exclusive entree in the park, plan on eating early. Food lines get significantly longer as the night goes on. It's a great way to maximize your time at Halloween Horror Nights! It's also important to note that food locations close at 1:30 a.m. so, if you're feeling hungry, be sure to grab one last bite before hitting your final house or two.
