Thanks everyone! Have booked a nights stay! Hope I'm not too scared to go on FJ after all this...!!!!

Opps my previous post is kinda moot now you booked a hotel but could come in handy for later in the day. On the scared thing lol do you like spiders? I have a terrible fear of them and closed my eyes for 50% of the ride BUT the rest is incredible so don't be scared. It's beyond amazing.

I have piccies on my facebook but I have no idea how to show them here. If you search ButterBeer I am sure there will be some over on the Universal threads.

Like I say, I'm blooming addicted to the stuff. I tried both frozen and non and my personal fave is frozen although it took me a good 4 glasses of each before I decided LOL! To me it tastes like a mix of butterscotch, popcorn and cream soda. They put a ''head'' on the ButterBeer which is for sure the best bit! It's actually cream, a really thick flavoured cream which they pump on from a different dispenser and I always ask for extra because it is seriously good.

Sigh, I have another 8 weeks to wait before I taste that lushious nectar again. It's my very favourite drink of all time.

Universal hotel guests have to pay for parking at the hotel.

No way?! I miss Disney already!

O.M.G. That sounds pretty much like the best drink i will ever have tasted!! I cannot wait!!! Is there usually a line, or is that one place you can get in and out?

There is 3 places you can get it:-

There is a huge ButterBeer ''cart'' it's a massive red thing right in the middle of Hogsmead and has huge queue's both sides of it. I would of thought at least a 30 min wait.

There is a much smaller, much quieter cart that shows a small sign saying ButterBeer in the top corner by the FJ right as you come in from the JP side. We always bought from here. The first few times where I think no one really knew about it selling ButterBeer (it just looks like a drinks cart) there was no wait or litterally 2-3 people in front of me but the last 5 or 6 times we went in the wait was around 10-15 mins as more and more people knew about it.

The Hogs Head pub serves it. People report there is no wait what-so-ever but I don't know as I never knew about it until we returned. Also I don't know if it serves the frozen.

ENJOY!
