In attending on the 24th as my first OI meetup and I have been very stressed out with getting everything done. Our starting park is IOA, so hopefully we will get to studios when the concert ends, but I’m really nervous. How long will it take for the Hagrid and VelociCoaster lines to die down from day guests when the event starts? I’m trying to have a basic schedule, but I don’t know when to ride Hagrids and VelociCoaster. Thank you so much for the video, it really helped me!
Great question!! We are sorry you are feeling stressed, but don’t fret! OI meetups are awesome in order to get things done. Hagrid’s will have a line regardless of its the meetup time or not. During the meetup we’ve still waited around 45 minutes for Hagrid’s. We would recommend riding Hagrid’s as soon as you get into the parks at 5 if it’s not a crazy long wait, and use your OI time to ride Velocicoaster (unless you see it at a low wait time after Hagrid’s). During the meetup Velocicoaster will be a near walk on. During general park admission people will flock to Hagrid’s and Velocicoaster as their last ride of the night so expect it to be elevated around the 9pm timeframe and not really clear out until 9:30 or so! This will also help you enjoy more free food as it becomes available!
We'll be at the meetup and I have a question. If we get into studios at the time of the parade what the best route to get around it so we're not stuck. Got stuck watching the Christmas parade one time
Hey Ben and Aubrey 😊. I think I am finally gonna make one of these in December 2024!!!! It’s looking good :-). Do you have a preference on which day to attend a Friday or Saturday? I can only do one night sadly . Thansk for another great video 😊❤❤
YESSS! That's so exciting! We usually like Friday! It's usually so exciting that we don't want to wait another day! We think you will be hooked when you go! What are you most excited for??
@@fudge_factor awesome 👏 thanks so much for the tips. I’ve never been to the park when it’s been super empty so I am super excited about experiencing that in low wait times on rides. I will probably ride Hagrid’s back to back to back to back to back to back to back. Lol.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Hi friends, this is Jennifer Moss. Question for you guys. I want to come next Feb to OI but I don't care about concerts and I hate crowds... which is why I love OI ( and that key lime cheesecake/ hot Butterbeer) Is Feb a dumb idea cuz of those concerts, or can we just hide in IOA during it to escape the crowd? Any suggestions? Thanks
Hey there! Usually the Saturday OI meetup has a concert, but like you said you can hide in islands if you want! We still had a great time at the OI meetup in February! We never think meetups are a bad idea
Who is going to enjoy a beignet for us at the OI Meetup??🙋♂
Me.
Woot Woot! Enjoy a few of them!
i will!!!
Way to take one for the team! 👏🙏😉
I wish! 🤤
Mardi Gras food lineup for OIMU:
Mexico: Chilaquiles Verdes
NOLA: Beignets, Chicken & Andouille Jambalaya
Spain: Papitas Bravas
Germany: Currywurst
China: Potstickers
Brazil: Shrimp Moqueca
Columbia: Arepas De Choclo
That’s a solid lineup! And all you can eat!! Yes please!
Great tips... never been to one but it sure seems like a great way to see the parks in a whole different way!
It really is! It’s an event that helps you slow down a bit because you don’t have to fight the crowds! Plus free food!
I'll be at the June OI Meet-up for sure!! Hope to see you guys there!!
Yesss!! We are so excited for it! We hope to see you too!! We’ll be the nerds will the camera 😅
I’m going to do a February meetup some yr. But until then I’ll keep doing the winter one. 😃
We think that’s a solid call! The Feb meetups are fun, especially for Mardi Gras happenings… but the winter lights are amazing! 😍
I will be attending this February, How is the weather during this time? Should I bundle up?
I would definitely bring a jacket. It was pretty chilly last year during the meetup!
Thank you. That's good to know
🙌🏻🙌🏻

@@fudge_factor Thank you so much! That really helped a lot!
Absolutely! If you have any other questions we are more than happy to help!
My boyfriend and I will be at the June meetup, hope to see you there!
Yes! We hope to see you too! Are you excited??
@@fudge_factorsuper excited! It’s my first time to a meetup and our first kid free weekend away in two years.
Oh man! Thats going to be a heck of a treat! Thats very exciting!

We would be on the lagoon side of transformers so you could sneak back to Diagon or Simpsons
@@fudge_factor sounds good
🫡
Sorry, another question... I'm the past, has OI occurred in September/ October?
Not that we are aware of. Probably just due to hhn. We don’t think they’d shut down the parks during hhn to such a limited crowd

Haha it would be the perfect time to! But there is also so much fun to enjoy with an empty park!
@@fudge_factor yes there is I can’t wait!!!! 😜
