In Island of Adventures Hogsmeade, there is a wooden cart that serves blueberry scones for $1.50 or croissant for $2.00! It was so cheap I asked are you sure that's the price and the scone was delicious!!
Great video! I love that you discussed portion sizes too. There’s nothing worse than thinking you’re saving a bit of money but then you’re still starving!
Thank you Lindsay! Yeah, we aren't big fans of paying 15 mucks for something and still being hungry after the fact, so we thought that was an important factor!
The best bang for the buck is the Volcano Nachos at Margaritaville. It's under $20 and comes in at a whopping 3710 cal. so it easily feeds 3 people. Plus it has all the water you can drink.
Great video! My absolute favorite cheap eat in either park is a kids fish and chips at either restaurant in The Wizarding World. It's $7.50 and the perfect amount of food. I get it for lunch most days we go.
You are the second person to say this and we have honestly never tried it! Tyler loves fish and chips so this would be a great option for him! Thank you for the suggestion!
Yall are the best! My husband and I are visiting for the first time next week and yall have helped us so much in preparing and making sure we make the most of our trip!
Awh thank you! That is sooo exciting! We are so pumped for you and your first visit! This comment means so much to us because all we want is for people to have as much fun as we do at the parks. We hope you guys have an incredible trip! We want to hear all about it when you get back! If you need anything please feel free to reach out!
I appreciate the tips! my family of 6 is going to Universal for the first time in 2 months and we'll definitely be interested in inexpensive food options.
Great topic! We usually opt for full-service in the air conditioning, but we'll have to try Green Eggs & Ham. It hasn't been open (it seems) for the past 18 years! Placing "cheap" aside, our favorite places (in order of yumminess): Mytho's, Finnegan's and Lombard's. We also like Confisco's, but the cold, dark dining room can be depressing! We usually eat at the bar (Backwater Bar). We will be trying the kiosks' loaded potatoes and crepes this December for the first time, because of your reviews. You guys have saved us so much time (and money) with your content; and you do it in such a fun way. Thanks!
Thank you! We do enjoy our sit down restaurants as well and we want to make a video about all of those at some point (would be an expensive video haha). Mythos is very good and deserves the recognition that it gets! We honestly think the crepes will be one of your new favorite meals in the parks! We can't wait to meet you in December! So excited that we are only a month away from being back! Thanks for watching as always!
Great/very helpful video! My family and I ate Louie's pizza on your recommendation this past summer and we loved it. I think we ended up eating lunch there three times! Thank you so much for the info. You guys truly are the best!
Thank you Cody! This comment has made us so happy to read! It’s actually pretty good for a theme park pizza place! Thank you for continuing to watch the content! It really helps us out! ❤️❤️
I'm so happy I happened upon your vlog for cheap eats at the parks. I'll be at Universal next month and don't want to be spending all my money on expensive food items. Your info was spot on and I hope to try out some of your suggestions. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much! We hope you have an awesome time and if you have any questions please let us know! Maybe you will stick around and watch after your trip is over as well 😉.
Hi Anna & Tyler! Thanks for the cheap eats tour, still this was a year ago, it would be interesting if you did it again and noted if there has been a change in the pricing in the price since a year ago and if there are any changes that you find. Ken
BTW, thank you for the pizza recommendation! I know there's a pizza pretzel too. When I told my brother, he said we're going to have to do an all pizza day! 😅😅 We're all about themes!
Incredible (informative) video. These are all great options and definitely want to try the Fireeaters grill on our next trip. And Tyler-those Buffalo Chicken Tots look amazing! Great vid and thank you for the info.
Thank you so much Vincent! We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed the video! The Buffalo Chicken Tots are one of my favorite things at the parks! I get them all the time!
A year before covid ruined the world, my wife and I spent a week at universal. Had the time of our life. Now that things are kinda getting back to something resembling normal we are going back in early March. We've been thru close to a dozen of your videos now and just want to say thank you. Very informative and helpful. We missed out on some things and can't wait to check out some of what you recommend. You guys make great videos and are fun to watch. Universal should put you on the payroll! Cheers 🍻
You're so sweet, thank you!! We really appreciate your words of encouragement and your support. It's really nice hearing that our videos have been helpful. We hope you and your wife have an amazing time at the parks experiencing all the new things!
They are pretty good and very feeling! Anna has a gluten intolerance and ate gluten free for years.. she's not been as good about it lately but she loves these types of options at the parks!
New fan here. My husband and I took our three children to Universal this past summer for the first time and are planning to go on a weekend just the two of us this January because we loved it so much. Your videos have given us great advice! Will you be doing other food related videos? We'd love to hear what other places you guys like to eat.
We love the tacos as well! The last time we were there we believe they had went up on their prices! We were trying to keep most things under 10 dollars and they were 10..9 we think! Great tacos though! Buffalo is the best 🥰
That is so incredible! We are super excited for you! February is an amazing time to visit. We hope you have a fantastic time. If you need any help planning or just have questions please feel free to reach out! We have tons of content that we think will be helpful!
I just discovered the tots on my last visit and the green eggs and ham tots were delicious! But now I really want to try the crepes! Too bad it's in the other park though b/c I only go to ride Velocicoaster over and over all day long haha. Great video and thank you for sharing
@@ThePughTwo lav mics? Or a mic that has a front and back? Idk just a thought. I can imagine lav mics would be uncomfortable to wear in the Florida heat.
@@tabsamnic they work well, except you lose the ambient sound. This mic can do it, the problem is we have the settings on it to try to eliminate the music as good as possible!
@@ThePughTwo gotcha! I know you're a perfectionist but I thought it sounded good. I think it sounding like you were behind the mic actually helped the bit.
I've just discovered your videos, and they're great. I have a question for you, and please excuse my ignorance about US culture because I am from Australia. At these eateries at Universal, are you required to tip? I only ask because we are planning a holiday there and we are trying to figure out spending money etc and don't want to skip out on tips that we don't know that we need to pay
Thank you so much!! Most of the places at Universal are quick service and you are not expected to tip. If you go to a full service sit down restaurant where you have a waiter that takes your order, you would be expected to tip there!
I literally ate 4 of the 5 things you talk about here… need to try the gyros! Who-hash and Brisket crepes 😍 And the gyros are on the OI meetup list, so that’s gonna happen….
We’ve tried all of those except Fire Eaters Grill and we love them all! We usually split them, so we have room for other favorites. Jacket potato is our #1 must get every trip.
On my last ttrip, I tried the Pizza Tots and the Brisket crepe. Both were delicious, affordable, and good size for one person who isn't snacking all day.
Appreciate the videos. Def hitting up that greeneggs n ham spot. Me and the wifey just became UOAP's but we are rookies! Do you have a video on how to get on hagrids?
Thank you so much Adam! We really think you will love the tots! We don't currently have a video on how to get on Hagrids, but we would suggest utilizing early park admission if its at Islands of Adventure when you are there! Its the easiest way to ride Hagrids!
I could have used this when we were there last week! Honestly, I don’t care how much the crepes cost, they were DELICIOUS. We got the sweet and the savory ones. YUM. We were kind of upset that they didn’t open til 11am. I unfortunately forgot about the jacket potatoes. Dang. We also, surprisingly, loved the pizza tots and Buffalo chicken tots at Green Eggs and Ham. So good.
Sorry we got it out late haha! They are so so good! What is crazy is when they first opened that place they were 6.99 each and were the same size! You will just have to try the potatoes next time you go! Green Eggs and Ham is one of our favorite spots in the parks!
one of the best breakfast in universal is going to hogshead and getting a scone & tall cup of fruit for under 10 dollars at the stands. Its good and pretty filling
Thanks for the cheap eats tips! Will definitely come in handy in January. 82 days...OMG!). Do you feel that a lot of food could be split among 3 people? Like...2 potatoes for 3 people, or 2 slices of pizza? Looking to not only save money, but also not throw away food we can't finish.
Thank you for watching! 82 days isn't far away at all! So exciting! Absolutely. 2 potatoes or 2 slices of pizza would for sure feed 3 people in our opinion! Not only will you save money, but you get to try more things that way!
Heyya Arizona! Family of 6 here, I can only attest to Green Eggs and Ham (it's my absolute favorite place to eat lunch) Hubs and I share one and then we split the kids into pairs and they split one. All of us for about $30 bucks, $40 if we get Powerades (BTW:: the powerades are cheapest here too ;) )
Thanks so much for this!! I wish I had seen it before my last trip in June. I have always wanted to know where the jacket potato was and I see I walked right past it this past year!! I will definitely be trying it in two weeks when I go back!! Thanks again y’all💕
@@ThePughTwo awesome! this makes the videos even better for me as my trips should mirror yours pretty closely! Ive lived in nashville and honestly from watching your videos and waiting for good deals I'm finally able to go to universal for about as much as a trip back to Nashville for just as long.
Unfortunately, we won't be back until the first weekend in December! We hope you have an amazing trip and we hope we run into you in the parks one day in the future!
The absolute best food I’ve had at universal/ioa was the tater tots!! They’re SOOOOO delicious!!! 😍 we had to have them twice in two days, and one each, couldn’t share 😂
It’s a side item but You can get a baked potato with butter and maybe sour cream at three broomsticks for $3.50. You could even get two of them and still be pretty cheap.
hi folks, myself and my partner are coming from ireland in 90 days!! for 16 nights. with regards to the drink cup, is there any issues if i like share that cup with my partner? like how will they know? btw massive thanks to you guys for making our planning to universal studios so much easier. we cant wait to do everything recommended in your videos :)
Hi Brian! That’s so exciting! We hope you both have a fantastic time on your trip. And no, there’s nothing wrong with sharing the cup! We always just have one cup and share it between us. You can only fill it up with a non-water beverage every 10 minutes, but that’s the only restriction! This just keeps people from bringing cups from home and dumping drinks into those.
So we ate a Jacket Potato last time we were there. There was one human in front of us, and then 30 seconds in about 5 people joined us! It was nuts! I meant to try the crepes and we never got them, I was so devastated! I really want to try the blueberry lemon! And y'all know we had Louie's, as my husband had to include it in the photo with you! I am typing this as I watch through. Those chicken stingers from Fire eaters is BOMB! I never got the tots from Green eggs and ham, but we will have to go there next time. This was a lovely video and I appreciate all you two do!
Its crazy how lines can form! Oh No! Well it just gives you an excuse to get back as quickly as possible. The blueberry lemon is amazing. We don't like lemon typically and it is one of our favorites! Haha the famous louies pizza picture! The stingers are soo good arent they? Crepes and tots are must do's on your next trip! Awh, thank you so much! You are the best!
Thank you for this video! I am still cringing thinking about how much food is going to cost us for our trip when we are coming down for 5 days and 4 nights, USD/CDN exchange is such a killer. That $10.00 potato is gonna be a $14.00 potato but its better than a $20.00 hot dog (after conversion! lol)
My trip is in 5 days and I could simply ✨ DIE ✨ with excitement. I love coming to the comment section of your videos for extra tips - y’all have got a great community! I’m from the Midwest where it has been chilly and rainy. How’s the weather been? Jackets for the mornings?
We are so excited for you! 5 Days is so soon! Thank you for checking out the comments! These interactions really help out the channel and they let us know what kind of content people are wanting. We are from Tennessee, but we have been keeping up with the weather and its been PERFECT! Lately it seems like highs are upper 70's to mid 80's! We have seen a couple of days start off in the 50's so perhaps a light pullover!
At Universal it has to be the brisket crepe , had i of known yall were right behind me on the live stream I would of grabbed yall two. I never knew that brisket tots was even a thing thanks for the life goal’s.
Haha its all good! Thank you so much for thinking about us! The Brisket tots are incredible! Anna absolutely loves them and they are her favorite! Let us know what you think!
I know you guys probably have state of the art camera equipment but my kids want to start a you tube channel. What camera and equipment do you recommend for beginners and what do you recommend for further down the line if they get serious with it
Hey Mary! We do have some decent equipment that we use for the parks and home videos! Honestly, if we were just starting out and didn’t want to break the bank, we would start off with a cell phone. There are so many videos on TH-cam about how the newer phones are actually really great for creating TH-cam videos! If you are dead set on a camera, we can make some recommendations as well!
Absolutely! Universal has several salads, I think almost every quick service restaurant offers some kind of salad. They also have some decent sandwiches and several vegan/vegetarian options!
1. i have always wondered and wanted to try fire eaters. 2. I'm amazed my family hasnt tried green eggs and ham!!! i really wanna try those pizza tots!!!
@@ThePughTwo That’s unfortunate but when we had gone for the 4 or 5 days that’s the one thing that actually tasted good most the food tastes pre made like a frozen reheat situation at double the cost 😬😅
@@ThePughTwo Collll !!! just feel sad you had to put up with PK.Subban for a couple of years we did down here until we shipped him off from Montreal !! :)
You missed a good one at UO! The big pink donut is pretty cheap and HUUUUGE Also the tacos from the truck used to be the best deal in the resort but I think they raised the price
Oh the big pink donut could have for sure made this list! When we were thinking about it we were thinking primarily about savory, but that donut is SO much food for the price! Yeah the last time we were there they were more expensive!
The tacos went up a buck, to $10.99. Still a good deal, and I'd rather pay the extra buck than cross the street for a Heat Lamp Hot Dog under $10 (even though the hot dog comes with fries.)
I have eaten st Green eggs and ham. It was awful. I literally had ice crystals in the center of my dish. I can't believe you passed the Today Cafe seriously underrated.
Oh my gosh that’s terrible! We’ve never had an issue like that, and that’s definitely out of the ordinary for green eggs and ham! We love today cafe, but we were going for cheap eats and didn’t feel like anything there really hit the bill.
Hey guys I just wanted to tell you about my visit to Universal. 1st thank you for all the great advice. The trip was great even the weather. I have to tell you that I absolutely hated HHS! IT WAS VERY BORING ! The only house we thought was cute was Beetlejuice. It wasn't worth the price we paid. Sorry if that offends anyone
Hey Lisa! Thank you so much for the update! We are sorry you didn’t enjoy HHN. We understand it isn’t for everyone and you definitely didn’t offend us! Everyone has things they enjoy and things they don’t enjoy! We hope the rest of your trip was awesome!
@@disn4288 that is very odd! They always receive tremendous scores on cleanliness and this is the first time we have ever heard that! Sorry for your issues with the trip!!
@@ThePughTwo I know we stayed there before and never had such problems . I wish we could have met but maybe another time I do like talking to you about universal so I'll keep in touch and watch for your videos
We found that we didn't want something too heavy so we split our meals. That way if we wanted a treat or something we weren't too full...or if we wanted to go on a ride, we weren't armed to puke.
@@ThePughTwo I’m so excited! Your videos have helped a lot to show me what to expect and what to do. I went when diagon alley opened but it’s been quite a while and needed a refresher

What is your favorite cheap eat at the parks?!
I had like 1/4 of a jacket potato and I was full!
Green eggs and ham. Because I'm a huge Dr Seus fan. Tip - you can ask for Who Hash on a plate and get a clean can on the side to keep as a souvenir.
Bumblebee Man tacos!
Kids fish and chips in The Wizarding World! $7.50.
@@tia8318 yes! I shared that with my 11 year old. It was perfect.
In Island of Adventures Hogsmeade, there is a wooden cart that serves blueberry scones for $1.50 or croissant for $2.00! It was so cheap I asked are you sure that's the price and the scone was delicious!!
We need to find this place because that is super cheap and an awesome find! Thank you for the recommendation!
Great video! I love that you discussed portion sizes too. There’s nothing worse than thinking you’re saving a bit of money but then you’re still starving!
Thank you Lindsay! Yeah, we aren't big fans of paying 15 mucks for something and still being hungry after the fact, so we thought that was an important factor!

We might do a video like this in CityWalk sometime! That sounds awesome. We are big nacho fans around here haha!
Healthy option - hummus, pita, and veg at Doc Sugrue's, only like 5 bucks. It's a great snack, not quite a meal but a good fresh option
I love this channel. Universal is my happy place and as a native of Tennessee I really love your guys' vibe. Keep up the good work🙌

Sheppards pie potato, I like the sound of that.

The jacket potato’s are literally the bestttttt the shepherds pie one is goated
We totally agree! So much food for such a low price!
I'm going in a month to universal and so happy you posted this. Thank you again!
We are so excited about your trip! Hope you have an amazing time! Thank you for watching!
Going in November for the first time been watching your videos and will continue to watch until our trip! Love the videos!!

I am obsessed with the pizza tots at Green Eggs and Ham but you're right everything there is great. I also love the Crepes
We are too! We think they are better than the famous pizza fries that is all the rage for a couple of months! Thanks for watching Tonia!!
Omg I have to try to the potatoes I’m gluten free so that’s amazing!!
They are pretty good and very feeling! Anna has a gluten intolerance and ate gluten free for years.. she's not been as good about it lately but she loves these types of options at the parks!

@@ThePughTwo thanks! Yea based on your tips i already got my room at Pacific Royal for the parkperks.
I’m so excited to know about the crepes stand! I love crepes and I might just be there eating crepes for our entire trip! 😂
They’re that good, so we don’t blame you!! Lol
I could have used this when we were there last week!
Honestly, I don’t care how much the crepes cost, they were DELICIOUS. We got the sweet and the savory ones. YUM. We were kind of upset that they didn’t open til 11am.
I unfortunately forgot about the jacket potatoes. Dang.
We also, surprisingly, loved the pizza tots and Buffalo chicken tots at Green Eggs and Ham. So good.
Sorry we got it out late haha! They are so so good! What is crazy is when they first opened that place they were 6.99 each and were the same size! You will just have to try the potatoes next time you go! Green Eggs and Ham is one of our favorite spots in the parks!
one of the best breakfast in universal is going to hogshead and getting a scone & tall cup of fruit for under 10 dollars at the stands. Its good and pretty filling
We will have to check that out sometime. Thank you for the recommendation!
I love the Gyros at Fire eaters! Also on the other end of the spectrum the beef medallions in Mythos where phenomenal but pricy!
They are so good! We havent had the Gyros yet but the medallions are delicious!
Had the crepes. Soooooo good. The 4 of us split 5 crepes - 3 briskets and 2 different dessert ones. Thanks for the tip in previous videos
The crepes are AMAZING and the long line that forms there is much deserved! Thank you for watching!
Thanks for the cheap eats tips! Will definitely come in handy in January. 82 days...OMG!). Do you feel that a lot of food could be split among 3 people? Like...2 potatoes for 3 people, or 2 slices of pizza? Looking to not only save money, but also not throw away food we can't finish.
Thank you for watching! 82 days isn't far away at all! So exciting! Absolutely. 2 potatoes or 2 slices of pizza would for sure feed 3 people in our opinion! Not only will you save money, but you get to try more things that way!
@@ThePughTwo and we can get more Butterbeer!
@@Rene...startingover how could we forget the most important aspect!
Heyya Arizona! Family of 6 here, I can only attest to Green Eggs and Ham (it's my absolute favorite place to eat lunch) Hubs and I share one and then we split the kids into pairs and they split one. All of us for about $30 bucks, $40 if we get Powerades (BTW:: the powerades are cheapest here too ;) )
@@shannonelledge1313 THANK YOU!!
Thank you!! I was hoping you guys would do this video :) Do you guys have favorite places in CityWalk?
Thank you for watching! We love Cowfish and Antojitos in CityWalk!
Thanks so much for this!! I wish I had seen it before my last trip in June. I have always wanted to know where the jacket potato was and I see I walked right past it this past year!! I will definitely be trying it in two weeks when I go back!! Thanks again y’all💕
Thank you for watching! Yeah it’s just a little shack and you don’t think much of it! We hope you have an amazing time on your next visit!
Will be there December 7th-9th(My 50th!) Thanks for the tips.
Happy early birthday! We hope you have an amazing trip! Thank you for watching!
@@ThePughTwo Thank you so much!
i always notice the Tennessee shirts and now a nashville predators hat! im heading to universal from Tennessee in Jan!
Hey there! We currently live in Tennessee as well!
@@ThePughTwo awesome! this makes the videos even better for me as my trips should mirror yours pretty closely! Ive lived in nashville and honestly from watching your videos and waiting for good deals I'm finally able to go to universal for about as much as a trip back to Nashville for just as long.
What is the weather attire in mid November? Going next week and not sure what to pack.
So it can vary wildly! Next week, according to our phones, Orlando will be highs close to 80 with lows in the 50's
You need a way to print out your list here. When you do this you should make a PDF for people like me.
That’s not a bad idea!
My family will be in the park next week……..will y’all be there anytime between 8-11 ??? Will be watching for y’all. Can’t wait to eat the tots!!
Unfortunately, we won't be back until the first weekend in December! We hope you have an amazing trip and we hope we run into you in the parks one day in the future!
The absolute best food I’ve had at universal/ioa was the tater tots!! They’re SOOOOO delicious!!! 😍 we had to have them twice in two days, and one each, couldn’t share 😂
They are so good right? We have also had them twice in a day haha! We find ourselves going there every time we are in town!
It’s a side item but You can get a baked potato with butter and maybe sour cream at three broomsticks for $3.50. You could even get two of them and still be pretty cheap.
That’s an awesome suggestion! We had no clue this was a thing so thank you for the suggestion!
the scotch eggs in the leaky cauldron are pretty good and cheap also filling.
Tyler loves the scotch eggs! Im not a big egg fan but they do look like they would fill you up!
hi folks, myself and my partner are coming from ireland in 90 days!! for 16 nights. with regards to the drink cup, is there any issues if i like share that cup with my partner? like how will they know? btw massive thanks to you guys for making our planning to universal studios so much easier. we cant wait to do everything recommended in your videos :)
Hi Brian! That’s so exciting! We hope you both have a fantastic time on your trip. And no, there’s nothing wrong with sharing the cup! We always just have one cup and share it between us. You can only fill it up with a non-water beverage every 10 minutes, but that’s the only restriction! This just keeps people from bringing cups from home and dumping drinks into those.
So we ate a Jacket Potato last time we were there. There was one human in front of us, and then 30 seconds in about 5 people joined us! It was nuts! I meant to try the crepes and we never got them, I was so devastated! I really want to try the blueberry lemon! And y'all know we had Louie's, as my husband had to include it in the photo with you! I am typing this as I watch through. Those chicken stingers from Fire eaters is BOMB! I never got the tots from Green eggs and ham, but we will have to go there next time. This was a lovely video and I appreciate all you two do!
Its crazy how lines can form! Oh No! Well it just gives you an excuse to get back as quickly as possible. The blueberry lemon is amazing. We don't like lemon typically and it is one of our favorites! Haha the famous louies pizza picture! The stingers are soo good arent they? Crepes and tots are must do's on your next trip! Awh, thank you so much! You are the best!
Thank you for this video! I am still cringing thinking about how much food is going to cost us for our trip when we are coming down for 5 days and 4 nights, USD/CDN exchange is such a killer. That $10.00 potato is gonna be a $14.00 potato but its better than a $20.00 hot dog (after conversion! lol)
😂🤣 I mean, at least they're long hot dogs for $20! Lol. Unfortunately, theme parks aren't known for their reasonable food prices.
Part 2! Best bang for your buck in hogsmead and diagon ally!
This is a great idea!
Hi, are you guys in the Parks anytime this week?
Hey Kim! Unfortunately, we won’t be back in the parks until early December!
Hi. Another great video! Do Green Eggs & Ham have any vegetarian options?
Hey there! Thank you so much! Unfortunately, it looks like they do not according to the menu online.
Oh no, that's what I thought as I couldn't see any options online either but was hoping I was wrong! 😭 Thanks for the reply.
@@hanxedtz5148 We are sorry! We are actually working on a video to show off the vegan and vegetarian options at Universal!
Oooh perfect. Looking forward to that 👍
My trip is in 5 days and I could simply ✨ DIE ✨ with excitement. I love coming to the comment section of your videos for extra tips - y’all have got a great community!
I’m from the Midwest where it has been chilly and rainy. How’s the weather been? Jackets for the mornings?
We are so excited for you! 5 Days is so soon! Thank you for checking out the comments! These interactions really help out the channel and they let us know what kind of content people are wanting. We are from Tennessee, but we have been keeping up with the weather and its been PERFECT! Lately it seems like highs are upper 70's to mid 80's!
We have seen a couple of days start off in the 50's so perhaps a light pullover!
So since you two are obviously from Nashville, would you consider doing Dollywood videos?
We have definitely considered it! We love going to Dollywood!
At Universal it has to be the brisket crepe , had i of known yall were right behind me on the live stream I would of grabbed yall two. I never knew that brisket tots was even a thing thanks for the life goal’s.
Haha its all good! Thank you so much for thinking about us! The Brisket tots are incredible! Anna absolutely loves them and they are her favorite! Let us know what you think!
The Chicken Buffalo Tots are so delicious!!! I also like the creps but Green Eggs and Ham is better IMO. Need to try the gyros.
They are very close! We just have both so we don’t have to choose! There are a few things we still wanna try!
I know you guys probably have state of the art camera equipment but my kids want to start a you tube channel. What camera and equipment do you recommend for beginners and what do you recommend for further down the line if they get serious with it
Hey Mary! We do have some decent equipment that we use for the parks and home videos! Honestly, if we were just starting out and didn’t want to break the bank, we would start off with a cell phone. There are so many videos on TH-cam about how the newer phones are actually really great for creating TH-cam videos! If you are dead set on a camera, we can make some recommendations as well!
@@ThePughTwo just in case what would be a good starter camera? They use up most of the memory on their phones with apps😑
@@maryc8094 The Canon M50 is a great starter camera for TH-cam and it comes highly recommended by some of the TH-cam educators here!
@@ThePughTwo thanks for the suggestions
I can not find Central Park crepes on the map using the universal app. I am I doing something wrong?
Hmmm it should be just across the street from Mel’s Drive in and Cafe La Bamba!
Hiya Pugh! Are there any healthier items to eat?
Absolutely! Universal has several salads, I think almost every quick service restaurant offers some kind of salad. They also have some decent sandwiches and several vegan/vegetarian options!
Damn I just missed you guys, we were there last week.
We hate that we missed you! We hope you had an incredible time during your trip and maybe we will run into you next time!
@@ThePughTwo Outside of the humidity it was good. We're hoping to go in January or February of 2023.
1. i have always wondered and wanted to try fire eaters.
2. I'm amazed my family hasnt tried green eggs and ham!!! i really wanna try those pizza tots!!!
1. Fire eaters is really solid and offers a wide range of food items!
2. You absolutely have to try them! They are soo good!
Bumble man’s Tacos was my favorite food but definitely wasn’t cheapest.
Things keep getting more and more expensive there as well!
@@ThePughTwo That’s unfortunate but when we had gone for the 4 or 5 days that’s the one thing that actually tasted good most the food tastes pre made like a frozen reheat situation at double the cost 😬😅
When you got a family of 4… buy the whole pizza at Louies 🤙
Ooo we wanna do that for our family of 2 🤣
Seen Anna comming back from Green eggs and Ham !! with a Hockey tshirt !!are you Guys Predator fans ? :)
Hey there! Yes we are! We have been season ticket holders for the predators for 6 years now!
@@ThePughTwo Collll !!! just feel sad you had to put up with PK.Subban for a couple of years we did down here until we shipped him off from Montreal !! :)
Thanks
Thank you for watching!
You missed a good one at UO! The big pink donut is pretty cheap and HUUUUGE
Also the tacos from the truck used to be the best deal in the resort but I think they raised the price
Oh the big pink donut could have for sure made this list! When we were thinking about it we were thinking primarily about savory, but that donut is SO much food for the price! Yeah the last time we were there they were more expensive!
The tacos went up a buck, to $10.99. Still a good deal, and I'd rather pay the extra buck than cross the street for a Heat Lamp Hot Dog under $10 (even though the hot dog comes with fries.)
Those carne asada tacos are the best! Texas girl here-I’m picky about tacos-it’s a must do in every trip
We can’t wait to try the crepes!! Also who in the heck gave this video a thumbs down!!! Trolls😡
Haha its okay! It was on here so quickly! We hope you love the crepes as much as we do when you get to try them!
Have you been to Pat O'Brien's or know anything about it? Looks fun with the dueling pianos...
sorry this probably wasn't the best place to ask since it wouldn't be a "cheap eat".
You are fine! If you ever have questions, just ask them wherever and we will get to them!
So we haven't actually eaten there, but we know all about their signature drink (the Hurricane) and have heard its a fun atmosphere!
@@ThePughTwo Ok, thank you!! Planning our January trip and your videos have been very helpful!
@@kristinblake2335 so happy to hear that! If you ever have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out!
Thanks for the tips. I’ll be going to universal in a couple weeks. I can’t see myself justifying a $14 hot dog lol
Thank you for watching! We have never bought one ourselves because it just seems so expensive!
He never forgets the $14 hotdogs 🌭 😅
How could I?? 🤣🤣
Being cheap. It's like you know me. 🤣
Hahaha! We are all about saving some money!
We try to run by Moe's on the way in or out of City Walk. It is approved by our 11 and 7 year old.
Haha Moes is such an immersive atmosphere!
I have eaten st Green eggs and ham. It was awful. I literally had ice crystals in the center of my dish.
I can't believe you passed the Today Cafe seriously underrated.
Oh my gosh that’s terrible! We’ve never had an issue like that, and that’s definitely out of the ordinary for green eggs and ham! We love today cafe, but we were going for cheap eats and didn’t feel like anything there really hit the bill.
Hey guys I just wanted to tell you about my visit to Universal. 1st thank you for all the great advice. The trip was great even the weather. I have to tell you that I absolutely hated HHS! IT WAS VERY BORING ! The only house we thought was cute was Beetlejuice. It wasn't worth the price we paid. Sorry if that offends anyone
Hey Lisa! Thank you so much for the update! We are sorry you didn’t enjoy HHN. We understand it isn’t for everyone and you definitely didn’t offend us! Everyone has things they enjoy and things they don’t enjoy! We hope the rest of your trip was awesome!
@@ThePughTwo yes but the royal pacific hotel had cockaroaches
@@disn4288 that is very odd! They always receive tremendous scores on cleanliness and this is the first time we have ever heard that! Sorry for your issues with the trip!!
@@ThePughTwo I know we stayed there before and never had such problems . I wish we could have met but maybe another time I do like talking to you about universal so I'll keep in touch and watch for your videos
You know you’re a fan of this channel when you already knew what the last one was gonna be when it didn’t come up in 1-4.
Haha you read our minds! We’re so glad you enjoyed it, and we hope you agree with our picks!! Lol
We found that we didn't want something too heavy so we split our meals. That way if we wanted a treat or something we weren't too full...or if we wanted to go on a ride, we weren't armed to puke.
Thats what we do a lot of the time. Lol yeah keeping the stomach less than full is probably a good idea 🤣🤣
I have one day to go to the parks and I just want to eat everything 😫 too many choices
Haha there’s a ton of great food to choose from!
@@ThePughTwo I’m so excited! Your videos have helped a lot to show me what to expect and what to do. I went when diagon alley opened but it’s been quite a while and needed a refresher
