    I’m a vegetarian with an annual USJ pass, can confirm the best options are the cheese/mushroom pizza set at Louie’s and The Three Broomsticks in Harry Potter land has tasty potato and leek soup with soda bread! Have yet to see any vegan options…
    Also, highly recommend the themed desserts they have in the restaurant opposite space fantasy, when there’s an anime VR ride, e.g. Kimetsu - Some of the best desserts I’ve eaten in Japan!

    I will be so disappointed if they don't bring over the food for Super Nintendo World! It seems Halloween Horror night food is popular so maybe Hollywood/Orlando will give themed food a chance?

    I’d say the turkey leg is great if you’re living in Japan cuz as a resident, seeing turkey in stores and restaurants is RARE. It is a little pricey for the size but I love the turkey leg personally.
    And I’m surprised you didn’t mention the shark meat sandwich. It’s fishy but it’s absolutely delicious.

    • @UrSammich
      @UrSammich Рік тому +5

      Huh, that's odd turkey would be rarer in Japan. My guess is maybe its not as popular of a meat and might be harder for natives to work with cooking wise. It's a guess. Turkey here in the states is usually easy to come by, mostly in sliced form for sandwiches. It's really only during the month November you'll see whole turkeys for sale. Before and after is harder to come by, but not possible. Still, $10 for a turkey leg is kind of steep, but then again Disney charges the same thing, 11.99 + tax and is considered a "snack".

    • @anneelizabetheasterbrook
      @anneelizabetheasterbrook Рік тому +7

      @@UrSammich it’s actually under $7 with the current yen rate. But yeah Turkey really isn’t a thing here at all. That’s why KFC for Christmas is so popular, because it was the closest thing to the traditional American Turkey dinner available in Japan. I don’t think I’ve ever seen turkey for sale or on a menu here now that I think about it. Maybe subway has it but I haven’t eaten at a Japanese subway so I can’t confirm or deny.

    Chris, rewatching this with kids. Question about the unlimited drinks, is it disposable cups? Do you get a new cup each time? Australian parks always make you use the same cups and they are a pain to carry around because they don’t seal well.

    Hi, Chris, 'hajimemashite'.
    I've been a big fan of your videos (as well as Podcasts) for the past two years. Your presentation never fails to make my day. Thanks a million!
    I sincerely appreciate your respect and love toward Japan. All your comments are very thoughtful even when you are in awkward situations, and it makes me think I should be like that.
    BTW, I really wanna try Mario's cake. It looks super-duper delicious.
    -PS-
    'jouzu' means "be good at ..., be skillful at ...", so 'Jaws, jouzu desu yo' means "Jaws is good at (something)". 'yo' implies "..., you know? / ..., I tell you / ..., I'm convinced of it". (Sorry for being a busybody ...)
