We are so excited to show you the Epic Universe Store, it blew my mind seeing all the Nintendo merch. There's a walk through of us upgrading to different annual passes. Thankyou so much for popping over and please consider subscribing to find out more and joining us on Facebook ❤
Hi Niki, did you see the cups in Epic universe on the back row, I couldn’t choose which one so I got my lad a Mario and Zoshi cup🤦🏼♀️ so cute,although I ve been told , no more cups 🤣 . Had to have em 🙌🏻. And did Craig get the hat, it’s the best one by far. Also great info on the passes, your 3 park I noticed was £399, was that from the park as virgin charge around £330ish. I definitely want to get an annual pass next time, you got a good price for the upgrade 👍🏻
@@adelejones5059 sending Craig along for the ticket info 🤣 I could of bought all the mario stuff if I had the money, ended up with just a t-shirt this time. I like the thermal one's so that might be next year for the kids. I believe Craig's wearing his new bucket hat walking out of universal on the video 😊
You will have to watch the rest of the video to see if I got the hat 🤣 The 14 day pass we got from OAT was £305. When we upgraded Universal gave us $399 against the upgrade price. NIC paid and extra $25 for the seasonal 2 park annual pass and I paid and extra $230 for the 2 park preffered pass. Hope that helps
Great video people... Craig you are now a fully paid up member if the sun hat club....welcome....you did hagrids but never said the wait time..... how long please....oh and no dinner either what's going on hahahahahahha
Lol thanks for the welcome 😁 I think Hagrids was about 50 mins but we didn't wait that long. We had dinner at Cicis but I've vlogged that a few times recently so didn't bother this time. 😁
😂good ole 🐓cola, taste test coming soon Craig? Nic? Auntie Gen? Anyone? There’s a naughty joke in there somewhere 😂 I’m laughing so hard I can’t breathe
@@billastley4191 there's a teeny tiny chance we can go in the last couple days of our may trip. Should find out Thursday but the lack of info isn't helpful
@@nikimott I know it’s a bit confusing,we’re thinking of letting it calm down a bit ,we come back 24th May so may leave it until September ,would make a good vlog though
Brings back memories and how hot it was, glad you found Hagrids. We might wait for Epic as don’t think one day will be enough, even though it will be amazing and did use the app to see inside the attractions on the map
Awesome vlog as always guys, that drop on Hagrids caught me by surprise I’d completely forgot the ride did that 😂 loving that dark universe bucket hat, a couple of questions for you both, without sounding stupid what exactly are blockout/blackout days? Where do you purchase your original Universal tickets before upgrading them?
Block out dates are the dates your annual passes don't cover. The seasonal one has block out dates but the preferred pass doesn't. They have cut down the dates on that now and it looks like it's just July next year for block out. We got our tickets from Orlando Attraction Tickets again this year. Would recommend them 😁
@@carbslayer cheers Craig, fingers crossed for the price reveal tomorrow of Epic! I can't settle, feels like Christmas LOL, I'm like Nic, loving the look of Super Nintendo World and being a massive horror fan, can't wait for Dark Universe! Looks like I'm gonna need plenty of overtime if I want to experience this next year LOL...omg
@@StuVlogs79 Im in the office tomorrow so Nic is on price watch duty lol. Just watching your latest Vlog and we love you too :-) Oh yeah and Black cherry Merlot is the business :-)
No worries, Disney does do an annual pass. Are you sitting down ? It's $1543 including tax and the only one you can get as a non Florida resident or DVC memeber
Hi Craig and Niki, quick question about the passes, do you upgrade at beginning of the holiday or nearer the end, as I believe the 12 months starts from 1st use. I know people in the past have gotten 3 months extra for free. 👋
We did ours at the beginning but it doesn't really matter as it starts from the first use of the ticket you are upgrading from. As far as I know the 3 months extra is when you renew your old annual pass and not when you are just upgrading.
Extremely random question but do you suffer from Jet lag once you're home? We just got back from 2 weeks in Florida and the jet lag has been awful this time!
@@Graveseh1 I can't sleep on the planes so even though it was an overnight flight, I'd gone nearly 2 days with no sleep. As soon as we got home, I couldn't fight it and fell asleep, big mistake but there was no stopping it. That's nothing new for me though and still doesn't normally take that long. It's my first time in September, maybe it's septembers fault 🤣
There's no blackout dates for my 2 park pass and if you want the 3 park it's an extra 110 dollars on top of the 230 dollars extra I paid for the 2 park preferred pass

$35.99 feel abit ill remembering that, but then I remembered it's much less that Disney and prefer it to their stitch ones 🤣

Thankyou so much. Does Disney do same thing Annual passes with parking and have you any idea of costs that really is helpful
No worries, Disney does do an annual pass. Are you sitting down ? It's $1543 including tax and the only one you can get as a non Florida resident or DVC memeber
Does the preferred get free parking with it and would my partner need preferred ticket. Thanks guys
Hi, yes it does get free parking. You only need 1 pass to get free parking and it doesn't matter who has it
Hi where did you originally purchase your tickets from?
We used Orlando Attraction Tickets website.
Hi Craig and Niki, quick question about the passes, do you upgrade at beginning of the holiday or nearer the end, as I believe the 12 months starts from 1st use. I know people in the past have gotten 3 months extra for free. 👋

@ Cheers Craig and thanks for the speedy reply, appreciated, hope your both well 👍🏻
You're very welcome. We're good thanks, hope you and yours are too ❤️
Extremely random question but do you suffer from Jet lag once you're home? We just got back from 2 weeks in Florida and the jet lag has been awful this time!
Not normally but we did this time, even with the melatonin but normally we are ok
I found it horrendous this time round.
@nikimott so weird isn't it! We couldn't stay awake past 8.30pm the night we got home and was wide awake at 1.30am!
@@Graveseh1 I can't sleep on the planes so even though it was an overnight flight, I'd gone nearly 2 days with no sleep. As soon as we got home, I couldn't fight it and fell asleep, big mistake but there was no stopping it. That's nothing new for me though and still doesn't normally take that long. It's my first time in September, maybe it's septembers fault 🤣
@@nikimott I suppose we would all take the jet lag if it means still going to Florida haha
We would have to upgrade to one of the top 2 passes as we can only visit during school holidays, so we will see how much it is 👍
There's no blackout dates for my 2 park pass and if you want the 3 park it's an extra 110 dollars on top of the 230 dollars extra I paid for the 2 park preferred pass
During summer hols, there's no black out dates after the 10th of August for seasonal I believe
Just checked, there's none in August
Going to post recent list to facebook
@nikimott I'm in Leicester and annoyingly our summer holidays start around the beginning of July and I'm back at work the third week of August 🙈😂
Is it $230 for each person to upgrade or is that for 2 people
It was 230 for me to upgrade to a preferred pass and 25 dollars for NIC to upgrade to a seasonal pass
Universal merch prices are right in line with Disney now, and not in a good way!
It's all too expensive really, it wouldn't be too bad if the exchange rate was like it used to be in the good old days 🤣
I've always refused to buy Disney merch, I'd have to really like something in universal. Most of what we spend is outside the park
