Universal Orlando brings a taste of Paris to the NBC Sports Olympic Zone

As the world converges on Paris, Universal Orlando is ready to bring a taste of that sports spectacle to the theme park. From Parisian food delights to cheering on all the action, the Universal Team is ready to bring the party to the plaza.

With the world turning to the City of Lights starting this weekend, everyone is excited to see the athletes achieve their dreams. From new stars like Sunny Choi, who smashes barriers in the breakdancing world, to Katie Ledecky, who is poised to become the greatest in her sport, the time, dedication, and perseverance that these athletes, and their families, bring to the competition should be admired.

Although Universal Orlando is a little removed from the European destination, the NBCUniversal property is ready to celebrate the world’s big moment. Similar to the other NBCUniversal organizations that will be showcasing all the action, the Orlando based theme park will have their own way of bringing a taste of Paris to guests.

According to a Universal Orlando representative, the Music Plaza will be transformed into the NBC Sports Olympic Zone. The special event will include photo ops for guests as well as a NBC Sports watch party. Some people might recall that the Orlando theme park had a similar offering for the Tokyo Olympics.

Since it is a party space, any celebration needs some delicious food and beverage options. Universal Orlando guests appreciate that the culinary team has been raising the bar with its recent additions at DreamWorks Land as well as the highly anticipated Halloween Horror Nights event this fall.

At the NBC Sports Olympic Zone, there will be a food truck with some Parisian inspired menu items. In addition, there will be some specialty Coke cocktails.

Some people might remember the special Coca-Cola menu during this year’s Mardi Gras event. It will be nice to see how some classic beverages can be transformed into this Olympic theme.

Lastly, the Today Café will feature a special medal-themed macaron. Given the restaurant’s close ties to the NBC show, it will be the perfect spot to celebrate all those gold medal worthy performances.

Guests should see these special Paris Olympics offerings around the Universal Studios theme park soon. Check with Universal Orlando team members for operating hours and availability.
