what a great overview & presentation! you should be in television!
That’s so kind! Thank you so much!
omg you and the frugal brit are the best universal youtubers. I love how u explain stuff so nice. I am going to universal, seaworld, islands of adventure, aquatica, and discovery cove from march 29- april 6. Thank you so much for being the best youtuber for me!
Thank you so much 😊
My dude, you’re a magician as usual. Most vids would take an hour of droning on to convey all this info yet you manage to be succinct, informative and entertaining all at once. Mad props. 🌏🪄
Thank you so much Kate it means so much to hear!
Based on my visits to Universal, this is a very comprehensive guide. I think you covered everything and did it so well.
Thank you so much! Share it with your friends if you can! 😊
Sup Demi! Words cannot express how much I appreciate this! I’ll be going to Universal for the first time in March and this is such a big help. It’s also my first solo trip, so it greatly helps an introvert like me. I definitely will be rewatching this and all of your other great Universal videos to help get me ready. As always, thank you so much! You’re the best!💙
I’m so glad I was able to get this out before your trip!!
Some advice for whoever is picking you up at the airport: Time it out so they pull up at the terminal *exactly* 17 minutes after your flight is supposed to land. That gives you just enough time to get off the plane, pick up your bags and be walking *out* of the terminal as they roll up…I tell you, it's a thing of beauty. I can not express to you the feeling of a perfect airport pickup. 🛬
@@kates7277Unless they take the Long Island Expressway. I have it perfectly timed out: the Grand Central, the Van Wyck! Taking the Long Island Expressway will destroy my whole timing!
@@PeterSallada They say no one's ever beaten the Van Wyck...but I tell you this: I came as close as anyone ever has. Damn that five-car pile-up on Rockaway Boulevard!
love the value and pace of the info! thanks for this :)
Thank you so much 😊
You are always so thorough and informative 🎉
Thank you so much!
Great video Demi! This is a great comprehensive guide to Universal for a first time visitor! Thanks for sharing 🤩
Thanks Megan! Hope you’re having a great holiday season!!!
I’ve been multiple times but this is still sooo helpful! Thank u!
So glad I was able to help!
Very well done! 👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you so much 😊
My first Disney trip was in 1975; I was 14; yes, I am an old fart 😂. My first Disney Food and Wine Festival was in 1997, and from there on, I went with my wife every year to enjoy it until 2013. We decided that the Food and Wine had changed so much from the early days. We went to Disney on Jan 2024, and my God, so many changes. During all those years, we never went to the Universal Studios. I began saving $$$$ to take my wife for our 45 anniversary in November 2025. I already have the hotel picked up 😂, the Portofino. I love this video, but I will check your playlist to see if you have a video for seniors. Anyway, you gained a subscriber here. Thanks, stay safe.🙏
I hope you have the most amazing time!
I loved this video! I haven't been at Universal Orlando for +16 years and will stay there next July with the family. This will be like a first-time visit. So exciting!! Thanks!!
Oh for sure! It’s very different now!
We just went to Universal Hollywood this year so we plan to check out Universal Orlando next year.
That’s amazing! I went to Hollywood for the first time this year too, it’s so different!
This is most helpful, thanks! Since I watch Price is Right everyday I was overly excited about Pricedown font used throughout this video. RIP to Woody Woodpecker's Kid Zone.
I love that!
Thanks for the tips! Wish I had watched this prior to booking during Spring Break >.< hahaha fml....
Oh no! Well hopefully it won’t be too bad!
Great video.!!! Family of 4 (2 adults, 2 teens) planning on coming early/mid November. Trying to figure out if staying on site is better or off site at a nearby hotel with a pool and breakfast.
Do you happen to know how much the lanyards cost in the video. Thank you so much 😊
The pouches are like $8 and the Lanyards are like $14-$16.
This video was very helpful it gave me a great insight what to expect what universal studios great Britain may be like but with some changes its rumoured to open 2030
I’m so glad I was able to help! I hope it happens!
Hello Demi. Great video! I'm going to the parks early June and have express passes. Do I need to still get to the park for rope drop if I'm not getting on Hagrids motorbike? Do you know how long typically the average wait is for express pass riders in June?
You should be fine without rope dropping! June it depends. Some days no one is there because not all schools have summer break yet. But with express pass you should be able to do everything easily.
My name is Craig Dennis i wish you a nice safe happy holiday season👍👍👍👍👍👍
Happy Holidays Craig Dennis!
Thank you my daughter now 42 inch plus so we are looking at adding in universal to Disney trip in 2024
Definitely check out my kids guide then! th-cam.com/video/bcrWm3Mjj6I/w-d-xo.htmlsi=U7eR3PfEgpIvqXgy
Some years back and I went to Universal and went through the single rider lines. I literally walked almost instantly on the rides. Wait time for the main lines were 45 - 60 minutes.
That’s amazing!
I’ve been to universal studios Orlando before I had the time of my life I went to both theme parks and the water park
That’s awesome!
Do they have park exclusive lanyards and such? I didn’t see a lot of those on the Shop Orlando site.
Hmm great question. I know there are Universal ones, not sure if I have seen Islands ones, but there could be! There’s so many lanyards, I don’t know them all.
Hi Demi! I just came across your channel and am new to it. So I have a question. Last year I had an injury in my SI joint area, it has healed, but I'm wondering are there any rides at Universal or Islands of Adventure that are less intense that will not trigger it?
Welcome to the channel! So happy you’re here! Since I don’t know the limitations of your recovery, I don’t want to advise you on what to ride. At Islands for example, the 3D spider man is less intense than the hulk coaster, but it does shake, so that might not be great for you. Same thing with Kong and Forbidden Journey or the drop on Jurassic Park River Adventure or the other two water rides Popeyes and Dudley’s. The rides at Seuss landing are definitely the least intense at Islands, but I’m also not advising you to ride them, that is your judgment. Sorry I couldn’t be more help, but I hope you can understand that I don’t want to advise you wrong and then you possibly get re-injured ❤️🩹
@@MagicalHijinx I complete understand. Thanks for the info
Can I purchased the express line at the park ??
Yes 2:37
Hi Demi
Hiii!!
Hello. Is June 15-25 really crowd?
Summer fluctuates, so it’s hard to say. You get good days and bad days.
Buuu we are going in march for spring break 😅😅😅
Hopefully it will be okay! 🙏
Has anyone seen The Universal Classic Monsters in Universal Orlando Resort? Or are they laying low and waiting for their Land at Epic Universe?
I haven’t seen them so that’s probably what they are doing!
I wrote a reply to you, but, I accidentally wrote it as a new Comment. So, go read my intended reply.
The Universal Classic Monsters should be around Universal Orlando Resort this Year! It is getting close to Epic Universe’s opening! Universal should get everybody excited for Dark Universe, the Land themed to The Universal Classic Monsters within Epic Universe! See if you can talk to the Characters. See if they can all pitch in and get The Universal Classic Monsters into The Parks this Year. I will try and make it down for Mardi Gras and other Special Events within The Parks this Year. But, please, help me set the stage for The Universal Classic Monsters!
That’s a good idea to have them out!
I think so, too! I was hoping that Guests and Team Members can work together to bring The Universal Classic Monsters to Universal Orlando Resort sometime during Mardi Gras this Year!
