Here in 2025! Lol
Thank you!
You are so welcome! We hope it helps!
I ended up making a Cowfish reservation like 2 months in advance to prepare for my trip. Of course I knew it was silly to do it that far in advance but it was fun to get it set up and have that to look forward to! And it was quick, but did I hear that y’all are planning on moving to FL? If so I hope everything goes smoothly, and it would be awesome to get more content and videos from you guys! 😊
It gives you something to look forward to! What have you thought about the menu? We are! Timeline tbd but getting closer every day!
F&F always on my wait time alert
Because family!
Great content guys. Keep it up!!
Thank you so much 🙌🏻
I use the app at home while planning a universal trip and I go into the parks thinking this app will be so helpful but as soon as I step foot in the parks I transform into a 9 year old. Lol good times
Haha that’s so true…..what plan?! Just run around and have fun!
Great video! I check the app and the weather all the time too, and I am in Minnesota!! One thing to note though, when you put your tickets in the app on your phone - which I do all the time too - you will still need to carry the paper one in your pocket when you use a locker before getting on a ride. Because when you scan your ticket to access the locker, and then put your phone in the locker, you won't have any way to open the locker up when you are done at the ride. Learned that the hard way! A great team member opened the locker for me, and I had to show him my ID - which was in the locker - before he would let me take anything out of it!! Oh, the memories!!!! LOL!
That’s a great tip! Usually team members will have single use tickets for the lockers if you need it!
Now if we could just get UO to add the option of using those food gift cards to the mobile order ap!! 🤗
Oooo that’s a good idea!
I've been using the app for over a year and honestly didn't know you could make restaurant reservations on the app. Thanks for the tip! I love the option to save my card info so I don't have to pull my wallet out, and the parking space saver is super helpful. I absolutely am that person after 12 hours of being in the park wandering around trying to find my car😂 Just a few more weeks until Mardi Gras 🎉
Haha you don’t need any more extra steps after a day at Uni! We are so ready 💚💜💛
This app saved me from a panic attack no joke. It was my first time to hhn and universal, between not being familiar with the park, the lights, noise and rain. I was overwhelmed and lost. The app told me where I was and how to get to each house I was looking for. It was also great to see my tickets in my wallet, I didn't have to make sure I had all my tickets with me while I was traveling. Being able to look up menus of the resturants before going was also great. Resort dining is not cheap, being locked into a place that might not have great options for me is just not great. 1000% recommend the app.
Just yesterday i was checking the app for ride wait times. I was sitting on the couch at home. :)
Omg…. We do that too! 😅😅😅 I love it!
@@fudge_factor 🤣
Same
I wish the Epic Preview Center app worked away from Citywalk. I would be on that constantly 😂
That would be so cool!
I came onto your video on TH-cam while scrolling through. I Note One thing: your content is excellent, and I enjoy watching your videos. You're doing quite good. I've spent the last five years working as a graphic designer & video editor. One thing caught my eye on your channel. The thumbnail for your video does a poor job of drawing the viewer's attention. It negatively affects channel CTR. I therefore decided to redesign the thumbnails for your videos and create additional thumbnails for them. If you are interested then let me know Keep creating content.
Thanks for the feedback!
Not me realizing your channel is named Fudge Factor because it’s your last name. Lol I’m silly.
😂😅🤣 that’s funny! At least you know now!
Finally able to watch your video and yes I am on the beach 😂😂😂
☀️🏖️
What months do you think of as spring? In New England spring is April, May, part of June.
Haha that’s a great point! Ben’s from Ohio so spring doesn’t really start until April also! Down in South Georgia and Florida is starts getting warm again later in February, early March! We use ‘spring’ as basically the Mardi Gras season prior to the rush of summer
0:21 What the actual fuck is that?
Wooo thank you 🙏
We're here to keep you updated! Are you excited for Mardi Gras?
@ so excited !! I’m taking my daughter and surprising her with one day of unlimited fast pass and another day we are doing the dine and ride the float thing . I’m just confused. You have to eat before the parade right ??
Correct! You eat before the float ride. Give yourself plenty of time to eat and get over to check in for parade!
@ thank you so much for the clarification 💗
Where did you choose to eat?
I know this is seasonal, but without doing VIP or Breakfast, how long would you wait for The Grinch?
Ooooo that’s a tough question, maybe an hour or so. 2 hours would be a stretch. It boils down to what’s my time worth in the park. I could buy an OI meetup ticket and wait 10 minutes plus get food and rides included 🤷🏻♂️
So excited!!! Feet don’t fail me now!
💃🕺
Why are you guys so convincing?!? It makes me want to go back again sooner than I planned. Is my 8 hour drive really that bad? 😂
Not at all! We do 6 hours every time we go 🤣😬
We are on january 2025 now and I tried to see the dates for the tickets, is the option to buy not available yet? If so, when does it usually appear. Thank you!
It is not available yet! Tickets will usually be available in the summer!
I had hoped to get there during Mardi Gras but my husband couldn’t get the time off😢so we are going to go in mid May. Gotta be better than the first time we went which was the last week of July or the last time we went when Milton ran us back home!
Oh no!! That’s not a fun way to end a trip!
Other than the week the Florida Orange County kids have spring break and its busy, everyone is different around the country unlike Christmas time sovI think it's manageable.
That’s true there is a bit of an offset between schools across the country! Those express passes during spring break get expensive!
We only stayed one night here last week and then we went to Royal Pacific. I wish I would have booked all of our nights at Dockside! I will definitely be staying here again. Great video! We didn't get to check much out since we were only there one day.
How was getting express pass from RP though?
@@fudge_factorthe express passes were definitely great!
When do you get to go back?
@@fudge_factor hopefully May! Or maybe August.
Fingers crossed for may!!
I'm changing things up a bit and will be going next week instead of Mardi Gras to see if the crowds are less. Do you think the Mardi Gras Tribute store will be up by next week?
You might be able to see it, but UOAPs won’t have access until January 30th 🥲
Thanks
You are quite welcome! We hope you enjoyed it!
always
💛💜💚
Mardi gras looks like blast. Sadly i unusally only go one time a year for hhn, im thinking about an oi event in the future though. Maybe feb 2026.
Ooooo hhn is so much fun! We will say, the opening day of Mardi Gras does feel a bit like the opening night of hhn if that’s a selling point! Not quite as good as hhn, but close 😉
Not long now.. we are ready!!
It’s going to be here before we know it!
I would avoid mid-late march to early April, which is spring break season. The parks will get slammed during that time. Though this spring, I'll be visiting the disney parks.
Oooo tackling Disney during spring break? How do you feel about that?
@@fudge_factor Oh I'm going mid april after the spring break season. There's crowded and then there's disney crowded lol
Hahah I was gonna say! You are bravvvvve if you’re going to Disney during spring break!
If you’re purchasing the Military Freedom pass, Spring Break is blockout dates. I rather avoid the Spring Break crowds.😊
That’s a great point!!
Food festival esp when lines up with mardi gras is like a 2nd christmas
Mardi Gras is electric at time! That first day of Mardi Gras is something to behold!
Another great video! Can't wait to visit soon again!
When do you think you’ll be able to?
Which weeks in February or March do you recommend for lowest crowds? Thx 😎
Earlier the better in order to avoid Spring break. Mid March until April is going to be packed with spring break. Opening weekend of Mardi Gras is going to be busy but super fun! It’s like the opening day of hhn
Awe man. We are going the third week of June. Darn kids schedule. lol.
That will still be a lot of fun! A little warmer but still fun regardless! Are you excited?
@@fudge_factorsuper excited. My son and I are using yalls video as prep. Thanks for the quality videos.
Absolutely! We are glad they are helpful! What are you most excited for?
I wasn't sure how much y'all like the Mardi Gras parade, maybe you need to say it a few more times😂 Super excited to see what they do with the parade this year, and I can't wait for the full food booth menu to come out so I can start planning.💜💛💚 One more month...
Have we told you we enjoy the Mardi Gras parade? 💜💚💛 we feel like missionaries trying to get other people to love it as much as we do 😂🤣. What are you looking forward to trying from what they’ve released so far?
@@fudge_factorThe duck a l'orange crepes and the Cajun mac and cheese look amazing. And of course, the beignets (shaking not optional😂)
Shaking is required….also getting powdered sugar all over yourself…not optional 😂
Can't wait until spring. Never been to universal in early spring before. May have to give it a shot
Do it!! It’s so much fun!
Epic messed up my normal schedule. HHN is a given, but i sometimes sneak in a May trip. The week before Memorial Day. I'll leave that for y'all. :)
Haha when are you going to visit epic?? We are going into it not expecting to be able to get much done! Just capturing the history of it all!
@@fudge_factor Probably not until Sept or Oct during HHN. Can't wait to see your videos of the new park, i know they'll be "epic". :)
It’s going to be fun!! What are you thinking will be at hhn this year?
@@fudge_factor I don't worry too much about what houses are there. I enjoy the atmosphere. Weird electricity in the air. It's like the awe you get the first time you walk into Diagon Alley.
Totally get that! The hhn vibes
Thank you needed!!
We are glad it was helpful!! When’s your universal trip??
@ We are going in mid February staying at Royal Pacific for three nights!!! A little nervous about the weather, yet super excited!
Ooooo that will be a great time! You might have a chilly evening but it’ll be fun!
🎉🎉 Looking forward to your food review!
It’s going to be so much food! 💜💛💚
I’m ready for my spring trip!! 💜💚💛🐊👑
Woot woot!! It’s going to be a blast 💜💛💚
Aub! Those sunglasses looked so good on you! This was very informative! Great job!
Awww thank you! 😎 when the heck will we see you at the Uni Orlando parks?!
Best Time is Always Great at UNI but the most and best is with Awesome Family and Friends!! And when your with your CREW!! :) Spring is Awesome! and Yes Mardi Gras!! and the FOOD!!! Not to mention some budget friendly prices for those hotel stays. Weather it is a Signature or other hotels, but some come with that Express Pass! Don't forget your even MORE savings if your an AP holder!
Great points!!
Still jealous yall get to see tpain but its fine. Ill just be miserable eating free food and not waiting in ljnes i guess. Thanks for the updates! Need to know how that burger is so keep me posted lol
haha we'll live vicariously through you for the meetup and you can live vicariously through us for tpain!
Is there just one parade per day, or multiple parades? And if just one, what time does it start and what is the parade route? We will be there opening day and definitely want to catch the parade.
There’s only one parade per night! When it occurs will vary depending on the day. The parade will come out by cafe la bamba, take a left down Hollywood, around to New York, and then back to cafe la bama by transformers
I wasn't sure when my next Universal trip was going to be, but y'all got me excited about Mardi Gras. Coming down my birthday weekend in February and staying at Stella Nova🎉 That Cajun mac and cheese sounds delicious, and another video about Mardi Gras mentioned a spiked affogato at Louie's that I have to try 😁
Doooooo it!!! 💚💜💛
