You guys are so good at what you do. Honestly I see others with 100k+ subs who do not put out the content you guys do. Please keep up the great work. Thumbs up if you agree! 🙂
We just spent the last 9 days at Universal with our kids. This was our first trip back since my youngest daughters Make A Wish trip and they treated her just as amazing as they did then. I love the people who make Universal everything it is!
The team members really are the ones that make it such a great experience! Universal’s customer service is top notch. We’re so glad you all had a wonderful trip!!
@@ThePughTwo we stayed at Cabana Bay based on ur video that you did on that place awhile back and we all said this was our all time favorite place to stay ever. Thanks for the recommendations-you guys know ur stuff! We can’t wait to return! BTW my daughter said she was keeping an eye out for you two the entire time we were there LOL
My wife and I owe so much to you guys for the best Universal experiences. Wishing that the 100K sub goal comes quickly. Keep up the amazing work you two!
Oh jeez, you guys…I just watched your “about us” video and now I’m bawling my eyes out at 9am. I was feeling all upset and angry because my 8 year old’s “friends” won’t play with her anymore and I don’t feel like she deserves that sort of behavior directed towards her. She’s very shy and has been through a lot this year, and no one wants to see someone they love so much, so upset and crying (especially on their last day of 3rd grade). Your video helped to ground me again, to see that you never know what life is going to throw at you and that you should celebrate and see the beauty in just living. I really hope to see you guys in the parks one day soon! Thank you ❤
You’re so sweet, Thea, thank you! We can only imagine how upsetting and frustrating it would be to see your child being hurt and not really be able to fix it. We hope things get better for her, and you! Thank you for watching and supporting us, we really appreciate it! 🫶🏻
As someone who loves the rain, I actually like it when I’m in a theme park. Everyone runs and hides(cue the Beatles here) and I can stroll around with no crowds 😊
Get a $2 poncho from Wal Mart and keep it in your backpack. As Tyler said "it rains a lot" I used the "rain maneuver" at Animal Kingdom and got on all the Pandora rides and Dinosaur ride with my nephews! It was super easy. Barely an inconvenience.
Yeah we just haven’t bought any in a while, but the ponchos turn into a little steamer for the camera lol. Our situation is different than most people, though!
yeah early admission is great and we avoided Hagrid's ride first thing. But first thing early opening is actually great to do the wand experience first thing because its less people as well. Loved the early time to just chill and relax to enjoy things like you said. Need to do the night time though. LOL thanks
Thanks for literally walking the talk. 🙂In some ways, I think this is one of your most helpful videos. We all have to adjust on the fly sometimes (almost always on vacation) and it was great to see how y'all rolled with the changes and to hear your advice. I appreciate what y'all do, I love who you are, and I'm grateful beyond words to see Anna happy and healthy. Answered prayer for sure!
Thank you, Michael! You’re so sweet!! We’ve definitely learned to roll with the punches making videos. It’s crazy how many times things don’t go as planned 😂🤣
Coming to Universal for the first time very soon! Been watching alot of your videos. Wanted to thank yall for sharing your tips and tricks. Feel my vacation will be better now thanks to yall❤
My family and I are going to Florida for the first time on the first week of October, not only for Universal and Islands, but also Magic Kingdom and Epcot! I've been using your videos as a guide for the Universal side of the trip, so I'd like to take this moment to say thanks! I've been enjoying watching your tip videos, as well as the challenges, they're a lot of fun!
That’s so exciting! We hope you and your family have a wonderful time on your upcoming trip! We’re so happy our videos were helpful, too. Thank you for watching!!
I love how it rains then stops. We learned to just walk through most of the rain unless it’s a downpour, but they really do only last a short time. Great that you pointed that out. 💜💜💜
Thank you for all your content. My wife and I just got back from Universal celebrating our 14 year anniversary. We tried the Buffalo tots from Green Eggs and Ham based on one of your videos and they were amazing! Thanks for the great content! We probably watched 15 of your videos leading up to our trip and it was so helpful!
You’re so sweet, thank you! We’re so glad our videos were helpful and that you enjoyed the tots! They’re our favorite snack, too!! We appreciate you watching!
This was basically our strategy on our last trip. We would do EPA in the morning, go back to our resort in the afternoon, and then enjoy the park in the evening. It was glorious, we were in the parks when it was less crowded, and at the resort pool when it got really hot. It rained one evening and Islands was so empty that we walked up to Mythos wothout a reservation and were sat within 10 minutes.
@@ThePughTwo This was late August, so it was HOT. We stayed at Royal Pacific, which just gave us a short walk to and from the parks. I don't know if we'll ever be able to stay anywhere else!
I love theme parks at night. Outdoor roller coasters in the dark are the absolute best. My mom and I have ponchos we bought years ago from Disney; they are thicker, have snaps down the side, and pack down well. As long as you air them out well, bringing a quality poncho is the way to go. Wear clothes and footwear that dry quickly. We like sandals, but not cheap flip flops. If you're going to go to the parks annually, quality gear is worth it.
We love the morning starts! I don’t need to really give you 3 paragraphs, but here is the reason why- we get up at 4am every weekday to go to work and when you’ve done that for years, it’s hard to sleep past 6am. The afternoon nap gives me the second wind to go back at night. Maybe that makes sense? Thank you guys for sharing with all of us! Love from Kentucky!
That definitely makes sense! Now that we’re doing this full time and make our own schedules, we’re both nighttime people and don’t lay down until midnight at the earliest. That makes getting up for EPA so hard! Lol thank you for watching, Kim!!
We're arriving on Saturday (Memorial weekend 🤦♀️) from England, first timers with two young boys. We can't wait, we've watched loads of your videos for advice and inspiration. Thanks so much guys, great job x
When my grandson and I go to the parks, we’re there early in the morning to open them and we stay all day until they kick us out. Lol being from Massachusetts we have to maximize our time so we stay as long as we can. I’m a early riser so I don’t mind going to the parks in the morning. Maybe if I lived there maybe go a little later in the day. Thanks for the video.
Love your shirt…huge Pink Floyd fan here! 🫶🏻 Really enjoying your videos, I’ve been binge watching them over the last few days. PA resident here and really missing visiting the Orlando theme parks these days. Thank you for the great content…you guys are so fun to watch! ❤️
We are night time people. We get in line for Hargids or Velocicoaster (before express started) at park closing and we get to walk out of the parks with no one there. It is so pretty and peaceful. Plus…major tip….the walk out to the bus lines are gone then too! Win! Win!
Watching Anna all revived up is so fun. Tyler I also like to watch people you never know what crazy things they will do.We do morning because I am old and my eyes open at 5:30 am. Sorry Tyler short and direct 😂. Great video as always.
People watching at the parks is the BEST! Lol we love finding a seat somewhere in the AC and just observing. We wish we had a little of that 5:30 am eye opening 😂 neither of us are morning people, for sure!
Thanks for saying hi to us yesterday! It was so cool to actually meet you two! Would love to hear your advice on best things to do in the park while it’s raining, especially if you only have 1 day in the parks. Thanks again!
Absolutely! It was so nice meeting you, too! That really depends if it’s raining or storming. If it’s storming, definitely go to studios. The indoor rides don’t typically close even when there’s lightening so there’s a lot more to do over there! If it’s just rain, you really just have to embrace it and keep going!
We absolutely loved it in the parks at night. We just sat and enjoyed a frozen Butterbeer in a virtually empty HP park. Then walked down to Velocicoaster and waited for our son to finish riding the last run of the night. It was well after the park had officially closed and it was amazing!
I remember riding the hulk as a kid at night was always awesome. I like night. I do like going on the water rides first thing when I get to parks, so by nighttime I'm dried off.
A few years ago, we just stayed in discovery zone when it rains. It is what it is. Florida always has rain! Also, we've just accepted our date, and walked through it, lol. I have to point out, ama rhymed a lot in this video! I loved it!
Another great video! Can I just say how much I love you guys ending the video with talking about the Meetup and in Islands with the awesomest music in the background! Only thing I don't like about the winter meetups is I don't get to hear that great music then.😁
8:12 Totally agree with you both👍🏼I was there this past weekend; the combination of the parks closing earlier in addition to the late rain made it a slightly unappealing visit for me😕
It was great getting to meet and talk to y’all. We didn’t expect to see you standing behind us while waiting to get in the park. The experience added to our day at the park.
I wake up for work at 05:30 every day. Even when on vacation, I still wake up at 05:30-06:00 naturally. So I get up and get going! Assuming you're not racing to Hagrid's, I love how empty the parks are early in the morning. Riding the coasters at night is amazing, but experience the ambience in the morning is best.
Wonderful video! Thank you! I love parks at night -- Universal, Disney, our "local" theme park, even the state fair. Something about the lights, the music, just the general feel. That being said, we also still try to get to the parks as early as we can and take a break after lunch!
@@ThePughTwo I think so! And I heard they’re vegan too. I had no idea the first time I tried it ‘cause it was that good! I went back for 2 more that day.
We were there Saturday too. Got to Studios at opening, but as the day went on, it got extremely hot. We left around 2 and went home. Stay hydrated and take breaks!
Your videos are brilliant - thank you for sharing ❤ I’ve just started planning our first trip to Orlando for next May. I hope your assumption on Hagrids is correct - my current thoughts on strategy is to join the queue midday/early afternoon 🙏
I don't like the rides so much but the Bourn Stunt show was really good, I saw it twice. The only rain I had the whole week in Oct. was about an hour at Magic Kingdom. One reason I like Oct.
When my family went to EPA we put our crocs in 4 wheel drive and ran to hagrids! We walked (ran) right on. My son rode twice in a row thanks to kids swap. The best part was sprinting through the park and we were all just giggling the whole way 😊
The Pugh Two is my jam 😁😅 If you're going to go to Hagrid's during EPA you need to be one of the first ppl in line (that's what my wife & I always do). Otherwise it might not make sense. Anna, you need a Grinch apple 🍎 😂. I definitely understand the umbrella argument. My wife & I pack short sleeve golf rain jackets in our drawstring bag if there is any chance of rain. That way we don't have to buy an umbrella or poncho. I prefer the parks in the morning and night lol (go all day! 😁).
Oh 100%! If you’re not there by like an hour before epa starts, it’s not worth it lol. We’re the worst about not carrying rain gear even though we know how often it rains in FL 😂🤦🏼♀️ the amount of umbrellas in my car is crazy!
I love EPA. I am a morning person though so it just works. We do usually take mid day breaks and go back at night as well but if I had to choose I’m picking EPA!!
Thanks for the video! I’ve never had the opportunity for EPA but I’ve rope dropped diagon alley and it’s so much fun! An empty alley to take all the pictures you want, hop on gringotts, or grab breakfast at the leaky cauldron, wouldn’t have it any other way!
There’s something oddly nostalgic about taking shelter in a cold Universal gift shop while drenched in rain and listening to the thunder and the music playing in the store
I like evenings better, but my internal alarm clock wakes me up at 5:30 am every morning, requiring me to be an early morning park entry person. 😢 Next week I will be going to the Orlando Informer Meetup. I really hope I don’t fall asleep in the middle of it. 😂 You two are great. Thanks for all of the fun video’s.
Oh my gosh that’s crazy. I have to set like 12 alarms if I wanna get up before 9:00 am lol I also struggle at the late night events, too. You just gotta hop on a coaster when that sleepy feeling hits! 😂 we hope y’all have an amazing time at the meetup, and thanks for watching!!
Love that you guys showcase and try other lesser known food items, like your last video, like the scones at Hogsmeade never knew they sold them. Every other vlogger goes to the standby snacks everyone knows about. And I do the same thing as Tyler, when you see the chaos about to begin when a popular ride is getting ready to reopen just grab a drink and watch.
Haha we love people watching at the parks! It’s the best. We had no idea the scones existed, but they were so good! We love trying all the food there is to find delicious treats lol so glad you enjoyed this one!
I actually love both times for different reasons but there is something to be said about a mid day shower, a drink or butterbeer and enjoying the forbidden journey queue while it rains.
@@ThePughTwo Oh, I never knew, I usually see both of them show a wait time even when all other rides are delayed for weather, but I guess it makes sense that they close it if the weather is terrible or gets worse.
I just want to say I enjoy watching your videos, they always put a smile on my face! 😊 Thank you both for all this tips, tricks, and general knowledge you share in your videos! My son and I just came home from our UO trip as first time passholders. You really helped to make our trip amazing! We tried the tots at your recommendations and they were the best theme park foods we have ever had (buffalo chicken is the #1 for us) and the frozen butterbeer OMG what a delicious treat on a hot day! Thank you for sharing your experiences with the TH-cam community, your videos really helped to make our UO vacation as wonderful as possible ❤You guys rock!!! ✌🏻
You’re so sweet, thank you!! We’re so glad you had such a great time on your trip, and had some delicious food! Those buffalo chicken tots are ridiculously good for a theme park 😂 thank you for watching, we really appreciate all the support!
Funny video. One things for sure in Florida, you have to be flexible with your schedule. We are definitely not early park visitors. We have a two hour ride to Universal. An early day for us arriving is 11am. Usually it's between noon and 1pm.
Haha yes! You just never know what you’re gonna get with the weather. We live just down the road from Universal and we struggle to get there before 10 lol so we feel your pain!
Hi guys !!! that's awesome !! love the enthusiasm and the love you put in your videos..... well I hope see you there in August I will be there with my lovely family.. last week of Aug. All The Best !!!
Haha can’t wait to be there again in June!! It’s gonna hot and there’s probably gonna be rain but we’re gonna make the best of it😂. The worst type of weather is after it rains and the sun comes out and everything just feels mucky and humid😭🥲. The last time we were there was in April and it rained TWICE but we got lucky both times since we were inside waiting in Kong line and second time waiting in HP Journey🙌🏽. SO EXCITED TO GO BACK🥳watching your videos is so much fun!!
We always do EPA. The energy and excitement, especially our first day in the parks, but we use the time to get breakfast, coffee and do some people watching. Later in line for Hagrids, it said 80min but only took 40. We rest in early afternoon at hotel and then go back for a second round. We were lucky last week, 3 days and no rain. Love you guys! ❤️
We did EPA , rode Velocicoaster, and then went to Hagrids. We waited about 2 hours and then the ride went down. So I still haven't ridden it yet. Looking forward to the Meetup in Nov to finally ride it !
One time in March when we came down for mardi gras. It was raining pretty bad I wasn't Spending $30 for 2 ponchos I asked for a trash bag and cut a hole in it and it was free you guys are a favor people on TH-cam we met you guys last year at HHN in September you guy's You guys have Are the nicest people ever
😂😂 now that’s a hack! I’m shocked they gave you one and I’d say they’d put an end to that REAL quick if it became a thing lol and thank you! You’re so sweet!!
Haha I think the official ride time is 45 seconds, but yeah that queue gets long. They can’t run multiple trains at one time because it’s so short, so it’s gets pretty backed up!
We did get up early one day for Hagrids. We had to walk through the HUGE que they have prepped for Hagrids, but basically didnt hit line until the actual que(around 45 min) so it worked for us, but i have seen how it got low at points in the day. I got some pics on hippogriff of the castle😍

Which ride is the best at night?
Velocicoaster
Really enjoyed Hagrids at night
I bet it's velicoaster.. we didn't get to ride it at night. 😢. ❤ love u guys.
@@luxxeyyy agreed
Hagrid's
You guys are so good at what you do. Honestly I see others with 100k+ subs who do not put out the content you guys do. Please keep up the great work.

You’re so sweet, thank you, Michael! We can’t tell you how much we appreciate it!!

That’s amazing! We’ve only bought one or two of the ponchos, and I ripped the latest one 😂🤦🏼♀️
I love frozen butterbeer.
It was nice meeting you guys yesterday.
It was so nice meeting you, too! We hope you had a wonderful day at the parks!
My kids were so excited they got to meet you both at Studios on Saturday. They are still talking about it.

Would love a Volcano bay video. It is the best water park ever in my opinion. Only been 2 times and can’t wait to go back.
We’ve only been once but loved it!! We just upgraded to the three park pass, so we’ll probably do one soon!
Finishing the vid and just noticed the Nashville shirt. Dig it!! Middle Tennessean approved!
Haha thank you! It was a target find! 😂
A few years ago, we just stayed in discovery zone when it rains. It is what it is. Florida always has rain! Also, we've just accepted our date, and walked through it, lol. I have to point out, ama rhymed a lot in this video! I loved it!
😂😂 only some of them were intentional! And yes! Just gotta ride it out lol
Jurassic Park River Adventure at night is my number one, that ride is very underrated at night time.
We’ve only done it at night once, but it was amazing!!
Another great video! Can I just say how much I love you guys ending the video with talking about the Meetup and in Islands with the awesomest music in the background! Only thing I don't like about the winter meetups is I don't get to hear that great music then.😁
Awh, thank you, Hollie! We love when the Christmas music starts, but the IOA music is just too good! They should leave that playing! Lol
Wonderful meeting you two (and then bumping into you two everywhere in hogsmeade 😂). You both are truly the best !
Haha yes! It was so nice meeting you, too! We hope you had a wonderful time on your trip!!
8:12 Totally agree with you both👍🏼I was there this past weekend; the combination of the parks closing earlier in addition to the late rain made it a slightly unappealing visit for me😕
The crowds were nice, though!!
It was great getting to meet and talk to y’all. We didn’t expect to see you standing behind us while waiting to get in the park. The experience added to our day at the park.
It was so nice meeting you, too! We hope you had a wonderful day at the parks!!
@@ThePughTwo We had a phenomenal time at the parks. We’re already looking forward to our next trip.
Fun video and good lesson about mindset! About 17:24, Tyler said something about that's why you like something...what was that?
The OI meetups! Stands for Orlando Informer!
i am one of the weird creatures that LOVES universal in the rain and thunder 😂 its just so cold and refreshing like a nice icee
😂😂 we get it! It’s so much better than the heat!
I wake up for work at 05:30 every day. Even when on vacation, I still wake up at 05:30-06:00 naturally. So I get up and get going! Assuming you're not racing to Hagrid's, I love how empty the parks are early in the morning. Riding the coasters at night is amazing, but experience the ambience in the morning is best.
We love how empty it is, too! And yes, coasters at night! We wish we were morning people so it was easier to get going early lol
Velocicoaster first row 🙂, love it
It’s so good! Especially at night!
@@ThePughTwo I hope we get some tickets in 2025 for the nighttime event it`s a little difficult from Germany 🙂
Wonderful video! Thank you!
I love parks at night -- Universal, Disney, our "local" theme park, even the state fair. Something about the lights, the music, just the general feel.
That being said, we also still try to get to the parks as early as we can and take a break after lunch!
Thank you!! We appreciate you watching! And yes, that’s the best way to do it. Especially in the summer heat!!
First time seeing a Hulk and VCoaster shot like that - very cool!
I was gonna say thank you, but that’s 100% Tyler 😂 I’ll tell him you liked it! Lol
The sheperd's pasty pie from that fruit stand in Hogsmead is amazing too! Way better than the beef empanadas. Surprisingly flavorful!
Are those different than the beef pasties in DA? If so, we’ve never tried them! We need to!! Lol
@@ThePughTwo I think so! And I heard they’re vegan too. I had no idea the first time I tried it ‘cause it was that good! I went back for 2 more that day.
Yup..everyone made their way to haggrids..it was over 100 minutes in like 45 minutes..lol
Haha we don’t blame them. It’s the best!
We were there Saturday too. Got to Studios at opening, but as the day went on, it got extremely hot. We left around 2 and went home. Stay hydrated and take breaks!
Hydration is key!! Lol that’s why we love the refill cups, all the water and Powerade zero you could want.
As someone who is regularly at EPA, I love to sleep in as the parks look gorgeous lit up. No comparison in my book.
The nighttime lights are the best!! We love being in islands during sunset, too. It’s our happy place!
I don't know if you noticed but your music on top of the IOA windchimes went really well together... I loved that!
Haha Tyler does such a great job on the music! I’m gonna have to ask him if that was on purpose!
Your videos are brilliant - thank you for sharing ❤
I’ve just started planning our first trip to Orlando for next May. I hope your assumption on Hagrids is correct - my current thoughts on strategy is to join the queue midday/early afternoon 🙏
Thank you!! We hope you have a great time on your trip!
Night 100% ❤
Us too!!
Yay, new video time!! Hope you both are well!
We are, thank you! We hope you’re doing well, too!
I like night by far. It's cooler and cooler.
Yes!! That’s a big plus for nighttime lol
I put my sleep disorder to good use.... EPA at Universal and rope drop at WDW... You guys rock (as always).
😂😂 it’s like a theme park super power! So glad you enjoyed this one, Larry!
I don't like the rides so much but the Bourn Stunt show was really good, I saw it twice. The only rain I had the whole week in Oct. was about an hour at Magic Kingdom. One reason I like Oct.
October is a lot better for rain! We love the Bourne stuntacular show, too. That technology is so impressive! We’re so glad you had a great trip!
When my family went to EPA we put our crocs in 4 wheel drive and ran to hagrids! We walked (ran) right on. My son rode twice in a row thanks to kids swap. The best part was sprinting through the park and we were all just giggling the whole way 😊
😂😂 gotta use those safety straps! EPA is always so fun, everyone’s so excited to finally be there!
I got there at 0715am on Friday and got on Hagrid's for the first time in a year. 45 minute wait time. Not bad.
That’s not bad at all! Especially first thing in the morning!
Definitely a night time park lover. I don’t do morning unless I have to
The Pugh Two is my jam 😁😅 If you're going to go to Hagrid's during EPA you need to be one of the first ppl in line (that's what my wife & I always do). Otherwise it might not make sense. Anna, you need a Grinch apple 🍎 😂. I definitely understand the umbrella argument. My wife & I pack short sleeve golf rain jackets in our drawstring bag if there is any chance of rain. That way we don't have to buy an umbrella or poncho. I prefer the parks in the morning and night lol (go all day! 😁).
Oh 100%! If you’re not there by like an hour before epa starts, it’s not worth it lol. We’re the worst about not carrying rain gear even though we know how often it rains in FL 😂🤦🏼♀️ the amount of umbrellas in my car is crazy!
Hey I met you guys on Sunday. I planned our trip based on your information and it was spot on thanks again
That’s amazing! We’re so glad it was helpful, and we hope you had a wonderful time in the parks. Thanks for watching!!
I love EPA. I am a morning person though so it just works. We do usually take mid day breaks and go back at night as well but if I had to choose I’m picking EPA!!
We love the energy at EPA! It’s just soooo hard to get up that early lol
Me and my wife RUN to hagruds during EPA and have been on hagrids 1st of the day twice, if you are willing to run it's worth it! Run🏃🏃♀️
That’s amazing!! We definitely don’t do that 😂
This week was my first time ever going to universal and we had to go at 3:00 every day but me and my family was looking for you
We’re sorry we missed you, but we hope you had an amazing time on your trip!! And thanks for watching, we really appreciate it!
Thanks for the video! I’ve never had the opportunity for EPA but I’ve rope dropped diagon alley and it’s so much fun! An empty alley to take all the pictures you want, hop on gringotts, or grab breakfast at the leaky cauldron, wouldn’t have it any other way!
Yes! It’s the best!! I got lucky enough to be the first person into DA one day, and it was worth getting up that early!
There’s something oddly nostalgic about taking shelter in a cold Universal gift shop while drenched in rain and listening to the thunder and the music playing in the store
Hahaha yeah we feel that
When I was there I did early mornings, but coming from the UK, a 6am start was more like 11am, so helped with the jetlag on the way back too!
Haha that’s perfect! We love it!
Hey guys thanks for taking a picture with me on Saturday you guys are great ❤️ - girl decked out in the Gryffindor gear
Absolutely! It was so nice to meet you!! We hope you had a wonderful day!
I like evenings better, but my internal alarm clock wakes me up at 5:30 am every morning, requiring me to be an early morning park entry person. 😢
Next week I will be going to the Orlando Informer Meetup. I really hope I don’t fall asleep in the middle of it. 😂
You two are great. Thanks for all of the fun video’s.
Oh my gosh that’s crazy. I have to set like 12 alarms if I wanna get up before 9:00 am lol I also struggle at the late night events, too. You just gotta hop on a coaster when that sleepy feeling hits! 😂 we hope y’all have an amazing time at the meetup, and thanks for watching!!
I bet it's so hot and it's then at night it's very cool I can't wait for next month it's gonna be both hot and cool as well
It’s definitely hot during the day! It’s much nicer in the morning and night!
@@ThePughTwo thank you guys
Love that you guys showcase and try other lesser known food items, like your last video, like the scones at Hogsmeade never knew they sold them. Every other vlogger goes to the standby snacks everyone knows about. And I do the same thing as Tyler, when you see the chaos about to begin when a popular ride is getting ready to reopen just grab a drink and watch.
Haha we love people watching at the parks! It’s the best. We had no idea the scones existed, but they were so good! We love trying all the food there is to find delicious treats lol so glad you enjoyed this one!
I actually love both times for different reasons but there is something to be said about a mid day shower, a drink or butterbeer and enjoying the forbidden journey queue while it rains.
That sounds like a perfect afternoon to us, too! Especially if the parks clear out afterwards. It’s the best!
9:56 I would also want to be in that club.
10:55 also the Caro-Suess-el and Storm force accelatron.
They actually shut both of those down too because they’re covered and not completely indoors!
@@ThePughTwo Oh, I never knew, I usually see both of them show a wait time even when all other rides are delayed for weather, but I guess it makes sense that they close it if the weather is terrible or gets worse.
I got to the very top of Volcano Bay, second in line for the main drop slide, exhausted 😥 and lightning closed the park.
That’s so upsetting!! I got to the very top and chickened out, so I know the pain of walking back down the stairs 😂
I just want to say I enjoy watching your videos, they always put a smile on my face! 😊 Thank you both for all this tips, tricks, and general knowledge you share in your videos! My son and I just came home from our UO trip as first time passholders. You really helped to make our trip amazing! We tried the tots at your recommendations and they were the best theme park foods we have ever had (buffalo chicken is the #1 for us) and the frozen butterbeer OMG what a delicious treat on a hot day! Thank you for sharing your experiences with the TH-cam community, your videos really helped to make our UO vacation as wonderful as possible ❤You guys rock!!! ✌🏻
You’re so sweet, thank you!! We’re so glad you had such a great time on your trip, and had some delicious food! Those buffalo chicken tots are ridiculously good for a theme park 😂 thank you for watching, we really appreciate all the support!
It was fun bumping into you two yesterday 😁
It was so nice meeting you, too! We hope you had a great day!!
Going to Orlando again this September 15th-22nd. Hopefully I miss the hurricane again lol.
I went home like the day before one, last year.
That’s so exciting! We’ll keep our fingers crossed for good weather, too! Lol it sounds like you’ve had good timing in the past!
Funny video. One things for sure in Florida, you have to be flexible with your schedule. We are definitely not early park visitors. We have a two hour ride to Universal. An early day for us arriving is 11am. Usually it's between noon and 1pm.
Haha yes! You just never know what you’re gonna get with the weather. We live just down the road from Universal and we struggle to get there before 10 lol so we feel your pain!
You guys are so awesome. Have you ever thought of doing live streams at IOA and/or US? I would definitely look forward to it!!
We’ve done a few at the parks, but we don’t have any plans to currently! We live stream from home about once a month, though!
@@ThePughTwo yup love those videos too! You guys are so awesome. Your energy is contagious!
Im going the last week of august. Staying on site. Cant wait!
That’s so exciting! We hope you have a wonderful time!!
We do that also we always stay onsite. we go in the morning then at 11 or so go to hotel and eat lunch and rest then go back about 5
That’s the perfect way to do it! Especially in the summer. The FL heat is just too much!
Hi guys !!! that's awesome !! love the enthusiasm and the love you put in your videos..... well I hope see you there in August I will be there with my lovely family.. last week of Aug. All The Best !!!
You’re so sweet, thank you Al! We’ll be around in august, so hopefully we’ll run into you!! We’d love that!
We just go to the camping section in Walmart and get a bunch of cheap ponchos. We normally always carry them when we're in the park.
We used to carry those, but they turn into a sauna for the camera 😂😂
Haha can’t wait to be there again in June!! It’s gonna hot and there’s probably gonna be rain but we’re gonna make the best of it😂. The worst type of weather is after it rains and the sun comes out and everything just feels mucky and humid😭🥲. The last time we were there was in April and it rained TWICE but we got lucky both times since we were inside waiting in Kong line and second time waiting in HP Journey🙌🏽. SO EXCITED TO GO BACK🥳watching your videos is so much fun!!
That’s the only way to go about it! Lol and yes!! It literally turns into a sauna. It’s the worst. We hope you have a wonderful time on your trip!!
Only a week and change until I get to bask in the glory of another OI meetup…and hopefully the Jurassic park tribute store as well
Omg we’re so excited for the meetup! They’re the best! We’re excited about the tribute store, too!
We always do EPA. The energy and excitement, especially our first day in the parks, but we use the time to get breakfast, coffee and do some people watching. Later in line for Hagrids, it said 80min but only took 40. We rest in early afternoon at hotel and then go back for a second round. We were lucky last week, 3 days and no rain. Love you guys! ❤️
That’s the perfect way to do it!! We love it! Love y’all, too!! ❤️❤️
My bf and I are moving to Florida next year and we’ve already decided to get season passes to Universal!
That’s amazing! You’re gonna love it!!
I have had a school trip to universal and these videos really helped me out
We love that! We hope you had a great time on your school trip!!
We did EPA , rode Velocicoaster, and then went to Hagrids. We waited about 2 hours and then the ride went down. So I still haven't ridden it yet. Looking forward to the Meetup in Nov to finally ride it !
That’s so upsetting! I’m surprised they didn’t give you a ruby express pass to come back later!
❤❤❤❤❤
❤️❤️
One time in March when we came down for mardi gras. It was raining pretty bad I wasn't Spending $30 for 2 ponchos I asked for a trash bag and cut a hole in it and it was free you guys are a favor people on TH-cam we met you guys last year at HHN in September you guy's You guys have Are the nicest people ever
😂😂 now that’s a hack! I’m shocked they gave you one and I’d say they’d put an end to that REAL quick if it became a thing lol and thank you! You’re so sweet!!
Flight of the Hippogriff ended up being my longest queue wait,to discover the ride is literally only 20 seconds long 😮!
Haha I think the official ride time is 45 seconds, but yeah that queue gets long. They can’t run multiple trains at one time because it’s so short, so it’s gets pretty backed up!
We did get up early one day for Hagrids. We had to walk through the HUGE que they have prepped for Hagrids, but basically didnt hit line until the actual que(around 45 min) so it worked for us, but i have seen how it got low at points in the day. I got some pics on hippogriff of the castle😍
Yes! If you’re one of the first few people in line it’s so worth it. It’s crazy how low we’ve seen it recently, though!
Just subscribed to you guys. Y'all are awesome and so informative 😎
Thank you!! We’re happy to have you here!
