As an out of state pass holder I like to book a night at a cheaper hotel between two nights at hard rock to maximize my unlimited express pass days for a lot less money.
Being passholders from Atlanta, my wife, daughter and I utilize all 7 hacks stated in this video. Now that we know about the Kong tour, which is now the only tour we have not done, we will now have to go on that as well.
Along with the butterbeer get a shot of Jack Daniel's ( over 21 of course) but don't mix it in hogs head lol the bar tender will tell you that as well lol
Awesome tips!! Really interested in the backstage tours. Thanks so much for all you do. We're in Orlando now!! Headed to HHN for the first time tomorrow! Hope to run into you and Nicki🤞🤞 That would be the highlight of our trip😃
The Blues Brothers tip made my day. My gf is going for Harry Potter I'm going for Blues and Dudley Do Right. Being able to get a decent pic with them will be outstanding.
Also you forgot a key point on Hogs Head bar... They took off the door handle to the external door side, so it's meant to be an exit only door. So you either have to wrestle through the line at the main door, which stinks, or you have to be sneaky. Either wait for someone to exit out the bar door and duck in, or go around back to the patio door.
Rick, they are taking packages to your room now. This is apparently not something that all employees have been told yet. The first day we were told to pick up at luggage service the next day. The next day it was just in out room. The next time we did this a lady training a new girl told us they are supposed to take it to your room now. We had the do not disturb card in our door so they didn't leave our package. We went to luggage service and they said they do not handle them at all anymore and to call a certain number. They ran it over to us since we were leaving the next morning. So they do leave it in your room but make sure you do not have do not disturb on your door. No idea if this varies by resorts but we were at Royal Pacific at the first of the month.
Hi Rick, I need your help. One of your vids has links to recommended items to bring.. collapsible cup, lanyards, & shoulder bag/butt bags. Can you help me find it? Thanks for all you do
In Mummy, they have always said to ask teammember at end of ride. Like Rick says, your "mileage may vary". All 6 times I tried, no one available to give tour. In Fallon, first ask we waited 15 min and got a short but chatty tour with great outside veranda pics. The "vloggers" love(d) the MIB tour because you can sit in that big area with the aliens.
It'd be cool if one of your videos was doing all of the backstage attraction so we could see that cuz like that's intriguing to me and I'm sure a lot of other people would be interested in seeing that as well I don't think any other TH-cam I've ever done that that I've ever watched anyway
I have a question, you said you are there almost every other day for the past four years. are you at the point where universal Orlando team members recognize you and greet you by name at this point?
Met Rick at Universal today. Very cool guy.
We have met him too, always takes time to chat. A very good guy.

Rick, you honestly do give the BEST tips and Tricks

Rick we stayed at Portofino Bay last week and they delivered our park purchase to our room.
How do you do that? Do you just ask the store where you bought the item?
Thank you for the great info
Yesss! Love me some Blues Brother cameos in Rick’s videos 😎😎 great tips!
Along with the butterbeer get a shot of Jack Daniel's ( over 21 of course) but don't mix it in hogs head lol the bar tender will tell you that as well lol

Hey Rick! Just FYI, I was there 2 months ago and had packages delivered to my room at Royal Pacific.
I met him the day this was filmed! He was amazing to meet!

Amex lounge is nice if you wanna cool off, bathrooms are super clean as well!
Great tips .
Hi Ric love watching you we're heading out at the end of June hope yo see you we love universal parks

That bathroom is kind of hidden, will have to remember that one :)
Very helpful!! Not many people wearing mask?

Well I learned some things today
Hey rick what video do you go over how to get across from park to park without buying the 2 park ticket
You have to have park to park tix to enter both parks
Great video, are those backstage ride tours just from AP holders or anyone in general?
General public
Hey everyone:)
Are the backstage tours only for passholders?
They are for anyone
Hopefully me and the Don of Delaware will see you Wednesday or Thursday at universal
It’s funny how you have a thing for Marilyn, Betty Boop is my favorite lol
Do you have to have a pass to do a back stage tour and who do you ask to take one?
Ask a team member working at the front of the queue
In Mummy, they have always said to ask teammember at end of ride. Like Rick says, your "mileage may vary". All 6 times I tried, no one available to give tour. In Fallon, first ask we waited 15 min and got a short but chatty tour with great outside veranda pics. The "vloggers" love(d) the MIB tour because you can sit in that big area with the aliens.
Awesome trips!
Do you have to be a passholder to be able to do the back stage tour?
Nope, anyone can ask for them
Yeah right #1 show is Marilyn
Is it true that the AMEX lounge has closed permanently? Thanks for all the videos man.
It'd be cool if one of your videos was doing all of the backstage attraction so we could see that cuz like that's intriguing to me and I'm sure a lot of other people would be interested in seeing that as well I don't think any other TH-cam I've ever done that that I've ever watched anyway
I am thinking of doing the pass holder for Universal instead of Disney
Had to watch twice to make notes!
Hey Everyone, it looks like it might be pouring down this evening here in Orlando
The DreamWorks bathrooms are smaller…for kids. - at least that’s what an associate told me.
Hi 😊
Hard Rock had room delivery for packages today
Thanks, I was by a team members working the the store it hadn’t returned yet. But looks like it is.
I have a question, you said you are there almost every other day for the past four years.
are you at the point where universal Orlando team members recognize you and greet you by name at this point?
oh yes

UNIVERSAL ORLANDO RESORT 2022 VS PHINEAS AND FERB
Should the Blues Bros and Marylin do shows where the Blue Man Group performed?
Any tips that you didn’t know?
"...less people know about them..." he says to a video with 4.6 thousand views and counting lol.
Passholders might get upset with me telling their secrets
