Universal Counter Service: Can You Break Up a Combo?

[Weather_Lady]

The "combo meals" offered at WDW often prove to be way too much food for me, and I suspect it will be the same for Universal, since in browsing Universal's menus I see tons of entrees that come with, e.g., fries and a milkshake. My question is: is is possible to order entrees "without" side items for a small discount (as at WDW), or will Universal charge full price even if I don't want the whole meal?

I think you can but I am not sure. I am going Wednesday so if you don't get an answer by then I will try to remember to check it out.

Thank you!

Yes- if you order just a burger you'll only pay for the burger. If you do burger and fries you pay for the burger and fries etc.

I don't know of any meals combos that include a milkshake. That said, you can certainly buy items a la carte.

Maybe it's a more recent change, but there are meals at Mel's Diner, Richter's Burger Co., the Classic Monsters Cafe, and Krusty Burger (and probably others -- those are just the ones I remember from browsing the current menus) that include fries and a milkshake, and almost all of the entrees everywhere include fries or another side. Because the menus don't give an alternate price for the entree alone, I wasn't sure if separating them was even an option. I'm glad to know I can take or leave portions of the combo.

I think you have your answer but if there are any specifics you want me to check tomorrow I will

I think I'm all set -- but if you do end up ordering anything "without" a side, let us know how it goes and how much you saved. Have a wonderful day!
