We are never in the parks when these garage sales happen but we finally realized there's some discounted items at the small shops by the exits so we actually got some stuff for cheap on the last trip!
They typically have a number of discounted things for the season (towards the end) and then just randomly they will discount stuff. Or if you have friends or know people, you can always ask them to pick some items up from the garage sale!
@Dillon.Thomas unfortunately we don't know anyone personally down there but maybe down the road we will live there ourselves ha! My daughter's first job this year is a scare actor for SeaWorlds Hallowscream and her dream is to work for Universal!
@3Gads I would check some of the ap Facebook groups to start, yes! I also posted about it on Instagram and sometimes park news accounts post about it too. But definitely the ap Facebook groups is your best bet!
@1pt21gw I'm surprised it's not more announced to be honest. Seems like they would be more vocal about it since I'm sure they're wanting to move as much of that product as they can
I was watching the parade live earlier, but had to log off because it started lightning up here (we were outside and had to run inside). By the time I logged back in, you were packing up and it looked like it started raining. Did you get to see the full parade? As we were watching the video now, my friend told me that he heard the plane is being repaired or refurbished and should be back - not sure how accurate, so don't quote me! I'm missing it this year, but I love Universal's garage sale. Some of it is good - other stuff meh. I actually use some of it for stocking stuffers and Christmas/Hanukkah gifts. My friend called me earlier and showed me some stuff, so he picked up some of the Harry Potter stuff for me. Thanks for sharing - be well.
I think the glasses were pretty sweet! I'm hoping to try and implement them more in the future, I think they're a ton haha. We THINK we saw it all? The rain was coming down, and it felt like a pseudo ended abruptly? But that might have been the entire show, and it was awesome! I was hearing that from a few other comments! Apparently it's just getting touched up, so that's awesome it (hopefully) makes it return at some point! It's a staple of City Walk at this point. I was thinking that the entire time I was in there haha. I'm just like... what could I buy for Christmas presents here?? Too bad I don't have enough family or friends that are into much of the merch they offer, even Disney they probably wouldn't care for. They had a lot of the Harry Potter bags, too, from the same company that made the Slytherin fanny pack I saw in the morning. But they sold out quick it looked like. The prices are unbeatable honestly on most items. Always super cool checking these events out, I hope to visit them more! I think Universal does them 2 times a year at least from what I was researching.
Universals garage sale does seem much more organized than Disney's. Also you could of bought me HP stuff 😂. Do you know the dates for the fall garage sale
Haha lots of people were buying for friends and family! I'm not sure, I'll post on my Instagram I'm sure when I know. I follow a few news outlets for universal that announce it and Facebook groups.
@@Dillon.Thomas it's smart shopping because it's so cheap. I've seen on videos people go in buy what would be normally 600 and pay like 200. Personally it's smart but some will also buy alot and sale it on eBay or whatever for high high prices. What are the outlets you follow if u don't mind me asking so I can follow them to keep informed.
@artemiswild7448 for sure! I think if you can get the merch cheap it's better than paying wat more for the same stuff. It's kind if like specific event merch, they always discount heavy at the end. And I follow just the AP pages on Facebook mostly, there's like 100 of them lol. But any of the big ones will share it!
Honestly, I follow a few groups (mostly Facebook ap groups) that announced it. I typically announce things when I hear about them on my Instagram, too!
It's kind of hard, actually. I'd say follow Facebook groups, or Instagram news outlets. Or even people like myself would post when we know, but sometimes it takes a minute to find out haha
I think I'm confused, are you asking when Disney's garage sale is? If so, I'm not too certain, I imagine IF they do it, it'd be in October like it was last year! But I think that was the first time they ever did it, so we'll have to keep an eye on it.
Did you see anything you were surprised by?! Or anything you were hoping would have been there??
I want that E.T. plate.
@@1pt21gw I was surprised there was some ET merch there in general!

Oh dang, where do they announce the garage sales? On social media? I'm a Premeir AP holder and I would've splurged so much cash on this.

Aweeee bummer. I wish I knew about this! … and it were in the weekend
I think they do it a few times a year, so you may be in luck for the next one!
They should email uoap holders with dates!

@@Dillon.Thomas exactly. Sweet thanks, haha yea they are a few. I follow a couple groups but they are HP groups at universal
@@artemiswild15 Ya, I would join up in a few AP facebook groups, they're typically pretty good about keeping on top of the announcements!
Hey! Quick question, I am a new pass holder and wondering how you were notified about this event?
Honestly, I follow a few groups (mostly Facebook ap groups) that announced it. I typically announce things when I hear about them on my Instagram, too!
How do you find out when they have these garage sales and do they let anybody in?
It's kind of hard, actually. I'd say follow Facebook groups, or Instagram news outlets. Or even people like myself would post when we know, but sometimes it takes a minute to find out haha
When dose disney dose theirs this year?

Ppl are saying it's at an airport hanger getting touched up then it's coming back
That's what someone was saying! Hope it's true, it's such a staple of city walk at this point!
The plane is being refurbished and coming back next year.
Oh Perfect!! Thank you for letting me know. I heard they were just removing it, didn't hear if it was coming back. So that's awesome!
