Haven't been to Universal in years. Recommendations for counter service in both parks with kids?? TIA

[TwingleMum]

My kids are 9,7 and 3. Huge Harry Potter fans. We have 2 park passes. Looking not to break the bank. Any recommendations for counter service. And if you don't mind favorite rides in that age group?? I'm kinda lost. It is a bit overwhelming. Thank you!

In terms of favorite counter service food, for an actual meal I love BumbleBee Man's Tacco truck. As a snack/drink to cool down, I love the banana Icee near the King Kong ride.

Favorite rides are harder because some kids that age are total thrill seekers and will ride anything, and others are more timid. What are your kids like when it comes to rides? More information about your children's likes and dislikes in terms of ride tolerance will allow people here to give you better recommendations.

I have a 7 & 9 year old. Race through NY gets a lot of hate, but they love it. We aren't Fallon fans at all, but the ride is cute and we always enjoy it. Kong and Simpsons are fine, but the loud noises bother them. They like the thrills too. The 7 y.o. loves Hagrids so of course the 9 y.o. complains about it, same with ET. The 9 y.o. loves VelociCoaster but the other one can't ride it yet. They will ride anything they are tall enough to with the exception of RRR.

Another vote for three broomsticks and leaky cauldron. These were our favorites even with very picky eaters.
