Welcome to Unlocking the Magic! In episode 497, we're diving fork-first into theme park food with our signature Crush It or Flush It style. We're breaking down all the must-try snacks, overpriced slices, and hidden gems across Universal Studios and Walt Disney World. From tots and tacos to falafel wraps and freaky food names, we’re serving our honest takes (with a sprinkle of sass). Did Universal finally outdo Disney on food? Is the $18 slice really that bad? Let’s find out together.
