      I'm going to go basic and pick Hagrid's Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventurebut honorable mention is The High in the Sky Seuss Trolley Train Ride & Jurassic Park River Adventure. All three are a must when I visit!

    Wow! As a Disney family traveling to universal for the first time next April, I’ve been watching a bunch of related videos and this one is by far the most professional and easy to understand IOA one. Using the map like that gives newcomers a really clear picture of what to expect and I feel will be much easier to navigate. Thank you!!

    Thankyou Chrissa, this was really helpful. We've looked at a few vlogs and sometimes it is hard to see where different attractions are, but showing the map as you talk us through really gives a good visualisation for someone who hasn't been before. We look forward to seeing a universal video soon and looking forward to our visit!

    I don't know how I missed this phenomenal video (I was literally sitting here still waiting lol)! I can't wait to come in June. This video, and I know I've said this before, is the BEST ABSOLUTE GUIDE out there for IOA!!!! This should be added to the Universal website for all guest to see (especially first timers like me lol)! I plan on watching this a few more times to get an idea of how to map out my day. ❤❤❤
    I definitely plan on getting a Henna tattoo and visiting Honeydukes (not sure how those two things became top priority 🤣)!!!!

      Hi Mick! Thank you so much! I can't tell you how much I appreciate it. We should have Universal Studios, and hopefully, Volcano Bay done by July. Unfortunately, I don't have SeaWorld slated to update until later in the fall. I do have an older video that goes over SeaWorld Attractions on my channel called Top Things to Do in SeaWorld Orlando You Shouldn't miss. But, it's not half as detailed as this one, unfortunately since it's a couple years old.

    • @user-oe1ek3dp2d
      @user-oe1ek3dp2d ปีที่แล้ว

      Amazing Thanks Chrissa! We have already watched your SeaWorld one haha. We have been to Orlando a few times but it has been a few years and your video gave us lots of new things to look for and secrets we would never have thought of like quiet places and trolls under bridges! This will be our first time staying at a Universal Hotel as well as having our 6 (to be 7) year old so just trying to plan and get excited with him which you have really helped with! Looking forward to the other videos - Mick
