Butterbeer?

[DizneyFreak2002]

We just got back and while there were lines for Butterbeer, we did not wait in them. Tip: don't stop at the first stand nearest the train, move further in, there will be a second stand that IMO doesn't get as crowded.

Also, it may have helped that we were moving OUT of WWOHP just as everyone was coming IN, and because everyone was more interested in getting into the lines for Forbidden Journey, the wand show and Dueling Dragons, we lucked out in our quest for Butterbeer (thank you, on-site perks!)

Is that 2nd stand new??? I don't recall a second stand further into Wizarding World... The only stand I remember was the one by the train prop which had two lines....

I thought I heard about them adding more stands and places to buy butterbeer to keep up with demand, lower lines, and please the customers who were waiting on those long lines and missing out on the other things in the parks... If true, maybe that is why the lines are shorter (and if so GREAT business decision!!!)... I can say sales of butterbeer (and potter merchandise in general ) have not decreased in the slightest...

There is a stand/cart up by the bridge near the entrance to Forbidden Journey.

Ok, I think I remember that one too... I admit, mid is a bit fuzzy in that regard... I purchased the butterbeer at the cart by the train prop, that's why I remember it so much...

I haven't noticed the lines to be too bad lately. Our favorite is the frozen. Mmmmmmm! It's worth the drive down I-4 just for that!

I have a very low tolerance for sweet foods, so that may have been why the frozen butter beer was so unappetizing to me, Christine--too caramelly. I would like to try the fizzing whiz-bees you mention. What does it taste like?

They're chocolate covered pop rocks! I have found there's a special way to eat them : break them into quarters ! If you eat the whole thing at once, the effect is lost. Break a bee's wing off and let it sit on your tongue. The chocolate melts and the poprocks start going crazy!

Mmmmmmm. Fizzing whizbees!!

Just got back from trip to Universal and Disney. The lines for butterbeer were not too bad. I stood at outdoor cart for 10 minutes. It would have been quicker if the man in front of me didn't have 5 family members (all adults) join him as he was being waited on! There were two outdoor carts or can go inside Three Broomsticks. We shared the frozen it was very good. With souvenier cup you can get drink refills for .79

I doubt it,since it's very much a part of the theming.

The wait on a Sunday was anywhere from 10 - 20 min at the outside carts. Near lunchtime, the line inside Three Broomsticks was much longer.

The kids and the hubby loved it (non-frozen version) but I thought it was much too sweet and didn't care for it.

Probably not yet... You know they will once they get their version of Hogwarts though.... However, Universal Hollywood has their own specialty drink: Energon from Transformers...
