No worries! Tactical is key 😂 hopefully I've saved some time for you guys! On Sunday at 11am UK time I have my disneyland guide coming out so I think you'll find that mad useful!
I’ve never been to universal studios Hollywood since I’m pretty far way but I’ve been on Universal Studios Orlando a bunch of times. Atleast I can go to epic universe next year when I go again
We have a single USH day scheduled for our October trip. So many things to try to do in 1 day with trip to and fro Anaheim. Solid video, thank you for sharing your tips and experience.
Thanks! I spent one day with the express pass and was able to do everything in the video! Some people say you don’t need the express pass but we didn’t want to take the risk coming all the way from the UK!
@@ManpsOnTheMap awesome! We’re only a couple of hours drive away lol but we want to just do it the way you did bc it looked like one day was fine as you explained 🤗👍😊 subscribed, thank you!
Thanks so much! I think if it’s not a busy day (midweek during an off peak time) then you can probably do the park…but the popular rides like mario kart and harry potter will probably always be busy! I didn’t want to take the risk though so for me the express pass was worth it
@@natashabolton2338 We only spent 1 day in the park which was enough to do all that we wanted to! Hotels wise, there's lots to choose from, we stayed in West Hollywood which was a good location! Same with restaurants, there is loads of choice - can't go wrong with the cheesecake factory!
@@natashabolton2338 I bought mine online before and I'd recommend doing the same. It was cheaper that way...I used attractiontickets.com (I'm from the UK) which is a reputable company!
Hey! So me and my fiancé are going next Tuesday and we have the early pass included on our express pass would you recommend to do Mario early or should we wait until afternoon? Btw great tips!
Hi! I guess it depends on how busy it is. I went at the end of the day and found it was quieter! The most popular ride in the park is Mario Kart, so I'd say either do the lower lot first when you get in the park to get on the ride or towards the end of the day. I was able to walk straight into Nintendo World when I went in the afternoon, having done the upper lot in the morning. Hope that helps 👍🏽
@@cocacolaespuma-n6z I did some research and some say theres an online website (zomato) but then others say you do it once you’re in the park via a qr code. If you find out, leave a comment as I’m sure it will help someone out
A great guide but I do think some things unmentioned as I have gone there MULTIPLE times is that mario kart ,Forbidden journey ,and sometimes the mummy, jurrasic world and transformers save MASSIVE time and about a third of the time even staying together as a group when boarding. and the over exageration of express pass as it is quite easy to get all rides done in a day and the posted wait times can be five to 30 minutes over their posted times so you are not going to be spending as much time in line. also the simpsons ride is suuuper overrated.
If you from the UK you can just hop on a couple of trains and go to the Harry Potter studio's tour you don't need to go to America to get a butterbeer 😂
@@ShadowRap-y5l yeh i agree its like double the price almost! You could check the app and see what the normal wait times are which might tell you if its worth upgrading to express
@@ManpsOnTheMap it's one of those things that infuriates me about these parks. You get ripped off on the admission price and then they stick it to you on parking. And how do they show their appreciation for you paying those exorbitant fees? They rip you off on everything else in the park. It's insulting. Instead of showing their gratitude for us keeping them in business by giving us fair prices on exclusive things you can only get in the park, they take advantage of us even more than they already have.
@@those1kidds I was shocked over how expensive America was in general compared to the UK! As for the food in universal studios…worst money I’ve ever spent 😂
Great video, I think express is just a waste of money I went to every ride available in Orlando Florida exempt for Fast and furious because I don't like those movies, I was there right when the park was open and I left when the park close besides waiting wasn't a big deal for me personally because I get to talk to alot of nice people on the process 😂😂😂😂..I had the time of my life in Orlando 👍🎉🎉🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸✨✨✨☀️☀️🌤it rain a couple of times but great time anyway lol.
Sounds amazing! The Orlando universal seems like hollywood but BIGGER! Yeh its fun meeting new and interesting people when you visit a new place! Glad you had a wicked time! I want to go to Orlando at some point 👍🏽
This video is kinda confusing as I thought it was going to show how to do the park in one day, as in show the order you went on rides. But you start at the upper lot and clearly ended your night with Waterworld and Harry Potter so this doesn't seem like it's in any particular order.
Hi, I can assure you this was all done on one day! So I did the upper lot first (excluding waterworld and Harry potter night show) and then did the lower lot. Then in the late evening we did the final waterworld night show and the hardy potter castle light show (both on the upper lot) and then left the park 👍🏽
@@ManpsOnTheMapSorry I wasn't doubting that you did it all in one day it was just never explained what order you did everything in. How long did it take you to wait for the Bowser kart ride since you didn't go there right away?
@@ReliableMyke Hey! No worries there's no need to apologise here 👍🏽order wise I just did upper lot and lower lot but the actual attraction order wasn't really planned. The Mario Kart was the most frustrating as we queued for about an hour and then the ride got shut down so we returned quite late in the evening to less queues!
The opening music in this video sounds like if a malignant brain tumor could actually have diarrhea, straight into your mouth, which you then pooped out later and then that poop wrote music. Probably the worst thing humanity has ever created, and after the 20th century that’s saying something.
@@1ronEntertainment Agree with this! We ended up going to City Walk for food after - they've got fast food options like KFC, pizza hut, panda express etc.
@@ManpsOnTheMap Food in City Walk is the best, but if you're hungry in the park get the Nathan's hot dog with chips. Try to get food at the Simpsons section and you'll be in lines longer than for the thrill rides.
I can’t wait for “EPIC UNIVERSE “ to open in Orlando Florida which will have the bigger “Super Nintendo world “ along with the “Donkey Kong” roller coaster 🎢. 2025 BABY !!! 🙌🏽
@@ManpsOnTheMap that’s the plan which is to expand more. I know they’ll have a movie of “Zelda” so at that time would be the right time for that to come full circle.

What an awesome video! We're going this summer deffo investing in express
Thankyou! Glad you found it useful! I definitely thought express was worth it 🙌🏽
I’ve never been to universal studios Hollywood since I’m pretty far way but I’ve been on Universal Studios Orlando a bunch of times. Atleast I can go to epic universe next year when I go again
The Orlando one seems much bigger with loads to do! Epic universe looks like its gonna be amazing!
This looks amazing. And ain’t nobody got time for dry chicken
It was so fun! I ain't about that dry chicken life
What a quality video, thank you for taking the time!

What day did you go to get those waits? Middle of march weekend?
I went at the end of March, midweek on a Wednesday
I bought hhn tix for opening night and hope to do tlou maze, st4 maze and jurassic world, forbidden journey, tram tour and simpsons
Amazing! Hopefully you get to do it all!

Cant wait more!!
Appreciate the comment! More videos coming soon!

@@ManpsOnTheMapme three Sir
Great info, thank-you.
No problem!
Well made video. Thank you
Thanks! Appreciate it 🙌🏽
This was an amazing video! Without the express pass, do you think the park is doable on a not so busy day? Thank you!

Thanks bro 🙌🏽
Thanks for this guide me and my mom have a ticket for the 16th and we need tips for this cause we want to be early for the Harry Potter ride

Yep one day is enough - I did everything in a day. It's an earlyish start and late finish, but well worth it!
The burgers at krusty Burger was good but when i tried the chilli dog it was awful.. learned my lesson same as you 😂
Hahah sucks to be us 😂 that chilli dog has traumatised me
where can i make a reservation for toadstool cafe? thanks you for helping

Hi can express pass can be used as well to take a photo with the characters? TIA
@@kikx24 Hi! No I do not think the express pass includes a photopass, I think that has to be purchased separately
Is nintendo extra cost to get in or part the park admission?
Nope, it's included with the park admission
i missed out on some good rides!
But you got to try the world famous Krusty Dog and Cletus Roadkill Shack 😂
I still get flashbacks of that food…
@@gurpreetrakhra8205 LOL I get nightmares
How many days would you recommend to visit the park
You just need 1 day in my opinion…i did everything in the video in a day
@@ManpsOnTheMap thanks
U can get butter beer in the hp tour in london tho hahaha
LOL I know...but the castle is good vibes 😂
Did you do upper level one day and lower level on the second day? Or was this all one day?
I did it all in one day
We couldn't access a map with out the app and didn't even know about the lower level until it was almost closing.
Are 3d rides cheaper to set up than actual roller coasters? It just makes me wonder why there's more 3d rides these days.
Lol not sure…maybe it’s the space? It doesn’t need as much room as like a full on rollercoaster
Im tryna get the most.bang for my buck out these express tix
Hopefully this video helped!
A great guide but I do think some things unmentioned as I have gone there MULTIPLE times is that mario kart ,Forbidden journey ,and sometimes the mummy, jurrasic world and transformers save MASSIVE time and about a third of the time even staying together as a group when boarding. and the over exageration of express pass as it is quite easy to get all rides done in a day and the posted wait times can be five to 30 minutes over their posted times so you are not going to be spending as much time in line. also the simpsons ride is suuuper overrated.
Thanks for the tips! I'm sure this will help someone scrolling through the comments - this was just my experience as a firs timer!
If you from the UK you can just hop on a couple of trains and go to the Harry Potter studio's tour you don't need to go to America to get a butterbeer 😂
LOL this is true. But there's something about a butterbeer in front of the castle 😂
Thanks I skipped lol but I got an idea
👍🏽
Is it worth to get express?
For me it was as I came from the UK and didn’t want to miss out on anything due to queues
It's so much more expensive. And I notice there are not a lot of ride? @@ManpsOnTheMap
@@ShadowRap-y5l yeh i agree its like double the price almost! You could check the app and see what the normal wait times are which might tell you if its worth upgrading to express
I'm not an expert in parks but I believe they use the rides already installed in the building and just change the outside theam.
Interesting 🤔
The wand chooses you... For a small fee?? $60 for a wand is a small fee?
@@those1kidds This made me laugh 😆 Why buy a wand when you can get a stick from the garden

Yes, the dining options are wretched and extremely overpriced.

Three broomsticks and toadstool cafe are the only decent food options. The next best is just eating at city walk.
