If you love going to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter in Universal Orlando, you have probably fallen in love with the sweetest of beverages, good old butterbeer.

However, you might also know that there is only one way in Orlando to get that butterbeer — and it’s by visiting one of the three Wizarding World of Harry Potter lands (including the one in Epic Universe). That means if you want to enjoy that sweet nectar preferred by witches and wizards, you need a Universal Orlando park ticket. Well, we’ve got BIG news — NOT ANYMORE. You can now get butterbeer outside Universal’s parks; no park ticket required.

Okay, you’re probably familiar with CityWalk, Universal Orlando’s shopping and dining district. You don’t need a ticket to enter, meaning it’s free to, well, shop and dine there! Well, if you find yourself craving butterbeer and you don’t have a park ticket, head on over to the newly expanded Universal Studios Store…because butterbeer is on the menu there!

Universal Studios Store

The Universal Studios Store has more than doubled its size and now has an all-new dedicated area for The Wizarding World of Harry Potter with merchandise from all THREE Harry Potter lands at Universal Orlando, including Hogsmeade in Universal Islands of Adventure, Diagon Alley at Universal Studios Florida and Cachée in the Ministry of Magic at Epic Universe. A new butterbeer counter has been added where you can order butterbeer treats, including cold and frozen butterbeer itself.

The Universal Studios Store has also added a Super Nintendo Section with an all-new dedicated entrance featuring landscapes and characters from Nintendo video games to celebrate the opening of Super Nintendo World in Epic Universe. Inside, you’ll find a variety of Nintendo merchandise, including characters like Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, Yoshi, Donkey Kong, and more.
