"Opened as the first major U.S. theme park in decades, this destination treats food as part of the immersive storytelling: menus are playful and brightly colored but genuinely well executed, trading standard hot dogs and cotton candy for inventive ingredients like saffron labneh, coconut nectar and mango bread. The park is composed of five distinct lands (including a dark-monster wing, a Harry Potter–adjacent Ministry of Magic, Super Nintendo World, and a Celestial Park hub), and offers 25 food-and-drink outlets—enough to eat three full meals—so dining feels like another reason to visit. Some popular venues require advance booking, and overall the food balances whimsical presentation (black-bunned burgers, bubbling green mocktails, glitter-topped cones) with surprising flavor and fresh ingredients, turning classic theme-park indulgence into transportive, culinary storytelling." - ByAnnemarie Dooling
