      i would send this video to Universal Studios management, clearly ripped off and could hardly call that a buffet, also the staff rushing you makes me think there's a middleman in between controlling what the customers get and what is not available but the staff get. you are paying for the staff buffet, they get all the best stuff you paid for for free and i bet management with the money don't know or don't care about it as long as nobody lets the secret out.

    This is the most lame pathetic excuse of a dumpster fire buffet I have ever seen in my entire life. I would have taken one look turned around and demanded a refund then left. ESPECIALLY if the food tasted that disgusting dry over cooked and bland. They robbed you blind and were nasty and rude to boot. They tried to rush you out so you didn’t eat all their DISGUSTING CRAPPY joke they called food lol they should be ashamed of themselves and should publicly apologize to not just you but every one they fleeced.

    buffet is prolly worth 30 to 40ish usd. but they have to jack it up to 400 to price most people away.

    The "buffet" is thrown in your $400 package. You are the only person on the planet going to Universal for the food. Yes the buffet is bad but it's like complaining about the price of popcorn at the movie theatre. You don't go to the theatre for only the popcorn. Anyone that can afford the $400 for the line cutting alone knows it's worth it, the food inside all parks is average at best.

We were camped in the Armies field tested, battle approved general purpose tents also known as (GP mediums). Dirt floors and roll up sides! Luckily we had army issue cots! I’d never had any issues with anytype of foot odor until after that and standing, walking and living in 4-6” of water for 14 days! Not a good time for your feet! Hawaii rain and humidity makes it impossible to keep feet dry! Anyway, that’s my wet foot story! Wouldn’t change any of my time living there because Hawaii was a blast! Great videos brother. I also joined the Army at a later stage in my life (32 yrs old)!

    For 400.00 that buffet is not very clean. Seen better cleaned buffets at Golden Corral.

    This Title is Click Bait, The Buffet is NOT why you pay $400.00, It's part of the VIP experience which includes the Buffet, The VIP experience, It is well worth the $400! You will spend that money easy on just simply entering the park and paying for snacks/meals etc...

    If there’s a time limit then so be it! Eat faster and less talking!

    There literally is a better buffet at any gas station across America. Yeah, those spinning hotdog things.

    You don't pay the 400 bucks for the food itself brother. It's mostly for everything else you do
