Disney4me Posted 9 hours ago Report Share Posted 9 hours ago Epic Universe is opening on May 22nd, and we’ve been celebrating this major achievement by trying as many restaurants and snack stands as we can so we can give you all the best information for your upcoming trip. Celestial Park We stopped by Comet Dogs in Celestial Park to bring you a full review so you can decide if you need to visit on your day in Epic Universe. Come with us and let’s try one of the ultimate theme park foods! Atmosphere Comet Dogs is located in the shadow of the Constellation Carousel, a stunning carousel where guests can climb onto different animals and “whirl and twirl together across the Milky Way.” Celestial Park This is a snack stand with no designated seating, but we were able to find a table in Celestial Park, just a little further away from the stand. You might need to look for a more shaded spot, but we appreciated how big the cover was on the actual snack stand for shade while we were ordering and waiting for our hot dog. Comet Dogs Let’s talk about what’s on the menu! Menu This snack stand had a limited menu of hot dogs and a few drinks. There are currently three different hot dogs available: the Bulgogi Dog, the Comet Dog, which is a classic chili cheese hot dog with onion, and the Smokey Carrot Dog, their vegan option made with carrots and seasoned to taste like a traditional hot dog. The Team Members also told us we could get the Comet Dog with some of the toppings off to get a classic hot dog, a cheese hot dog, or any variation you enjoy. While there are only three hot dogs on the menu, the staff informed us that some might change seasonally, so we’ll be sure to check back to see what they add in the future. Comet Dogs For drinks, there are several beverage options: seltzer, soda, bottled water, and energy drinks. You won’t find any sides like chips or fries here because they’re focusing on the hot dog. Constellation Carousel Enough about the menu, we’re ready to eat. Eats We had the Bulgogi Dog for $13.99. Bulgogi Dog This hot dog is served with kimchi slaw, salsa verde, and yuzu aioli in a bun. Yum! The bun was more like a sandwich roll, buttered and toasted, inside and out, which got us off to a good start for this hot dog. The actual hot dog was more of a beef sausage, but with the strong seasonings of bulgogi. It starts as a round sausage but is then cut in half and grilled, adding a beautiful texture to the dish. While it was heavily seasoned, it wasn’t spicy, but had more of a peppery bite, which we really enjoyed. Bulgogi Dog When combined with the other toppings, we were in for a real treat. The kimchi slaw had a strong vinegar taste with a pickled crunch. We loved this slaw so much that we would eat it on a classic hot dog (and probably in a bowl on the side as well). The yuzu aioli was creamy with a bit of sweetness and tang that matched the slaw beautifully. So many toppings! The size was filling, which we appreciated for a higher price than we’re traditionally used to for a hot dog, but this hot dog was also taken to the next level and gave it a more upscale feel. Nosh or Not You have to visit Comet Dog when you go to Epic Universe if… Hot dogs are one of your favorite foods You want a quick meal that you can take on the go (Make sure to bring napkins!) You’re looking for traditional theme park food taken to the next level You might want to skip Comet Dog if… Hot dogs aren’t your thing You want a wider variety of food offerings You want designated seating and to stay indoors Bulgogi Dog Overall For us, having a hot dog in a theme park is a deeply nostalgic experience, and Comet Dogs took our childhood love for hot dogs and elevated the flavors. The flavors were on point and combined well, and we can’t wait to go back and try the other items on the menu. Whenever we need a quick snack that will fill us up, we’ll be running to Comet Dogs to grab a hot dog before racing back to our next attraction.
