First trip in 2 years - new snacks?

[Kath2003]

First trip in a while - haven't been since the WWoHP opened at Universal, nor since the bulk of the Springfield stuff opened. Also haven't been since the new phase of City Walk restaurants etc. opened.

We usually eat offsite but like to snack onsite. What new snacks/CS are not to be missed?

I plan to get my son a Flaming Moe's. He'll get a kick out of the smoke.

Isn't a a Flamingo Mo just orange soda?

The effects seem pretty cool.
From Orlando Informer: The Flaming Moe’s “flaming” effect is created using dry ice and a special cup that has a bottom compartment to hold the ice. When the drink is first served, it bubbles like it is boiling with smoke coming off of it. While the drink itself is just orange soda, the surprisingly fun and effective “flaming” presentation lasts up to five minutes — making the Flaming Moe possibly the first signature drink in any park that can compete with butterbeer in terms of overall appeal.

I just looked at the price though. $7.99 has me gasping. Even butterbeer is "only" about $5. Not quite sure $7.99 for orange pop and dry ice is "worth it" even though my son would love it.

i think the flaming moe is more of a novelty type of drink.
taste didn't suit me but some others enjoyed it.

Flaming moe was just a photo op for us......it was rank!! Far too sickly sweet........ I thought I might like it as I do drink orange fanta in The States.......no we didn't.

Took a picture then left the drink.......but you have to.......least once........
