Now that summer is winding down and many of our AP's are becoming valid again, we're going to start having some new updates, and first up is Renée and Morgan's trip to Universal Orlando Resort yesterday where they got to check out the new Toothsome Chocolate Emporium. They were also able to check out Reign of Kong and the newly re-opened Hulk.

Our passes aren't blocked anymore, so we decided to stop by Universal Orlando Resort for the evening

Before the parks, we thought we'd check out the new Toothsome Chocolate Emporium at CityWalk

The quick service counter at Toothsome Chocolate Emporium is to your left as you enter, with lots of sweet desserts.

There are quite a few unique "steampunk"-ish items for sale in the gift shop as well. ​

​We were intrigued by the different types of marshmallows that they had, including absinthe

​The cotton candy display looks awesome and colorful

​You can also watch as some of the chocolate treats are made right in front of you

​Entering the actual restaurant at Toothsome Chocolate Emporium is quite impressive.

​The team members are great and interactive, including a robot going around to the tables to greet guests.
Picture
​With an hour wait at the restaurant, we opted to just get a drink at the bar upstairs, where you could also get food
Picture
​The chocolate stout beer is made exclusively for the Toothsome Chocolate Emporium. It's delicious!
Picture
​At the bar, there is a nice view of City Walk as well.
Picture
​The menu is basically a giant book, with several pages of food and drink offerings.
Picture
If you want brunch all day, you can have it here! ​
Picture
The drink selection is huge, and this page is only for the beer.
Picture
The desserts look amazing, and I definitely plan on trying at least one of these next time!

​It's really cool to see what they did with the former NBC City restaurant. Toothsome looks fantastic!
Picture
Picture
We ventured to Islands of Adventure to ride the newly updated Hulk coaster.
Picture
​The new locker system works out really well! Just make sure you keep your ticket with you and not in your locker.
Picture
​The new signs, queue and sound system are awesome!
Picture
Picture
​Hulk smash! It's great to have this coaster back!
Picture
​We also finally visited our friend King Kong at Skull Island. 75 minute wait posted was only 55.

We liked Skull Island, nothing amazing but a solid ride for IOA. Wish they used more animatronics than screens!

Had a great time checking out the new additions Universal Orlando Resort!
