Buzz on the Internet today had Universal Orlando serving a version of butterbeer WITH alcohol at its Wizarding World of Harry Potter attraction, set to open this spring at Islands of Adventure.
So not true, a Universal spokeswoman just told me. Butterbeer will be alcohol-free at Wizarding World, which is what the resort has been saying for months. (Note: folks of legal drinking age definitely will be able to enjoy an adult beverage on the grounds.)
The story came from an article in the Lakeland Ledger, which reported on a Universal sales coordinator talking up WizWoHaPo to the Central Florida Vacation Property Managers Association. The reference to an alchol-based butterbeer no longer appears in the online version of the article.
But wait, there’s more. The sales coordinator also spilled about two other things that Universal has not officially announced.
1. The much-rumored-to-the-point-we-believed-it-fact talking hogs heads will be on the wall of the Hog’s Head Pub and interact with guests.
2. A Frog Choir will perform five times a day, the Ledger reported. “This is very top secret,” the official told the group. “You’re the first ones to hear about it.”
