@PCDev you don’t know how your closing message can help someone. I’m having a rough week and watched your video to help me relax, as Universal is my happy place. I really like that you always end your videos with a positive message, you don’t know how much I needed to hear it. Thank you
This is wonderful, no waiting times, no crowds, just so relaxed. I need a vacation badly. Last night I had anxiety attack from overwork. The last time I went to Universal was right after the opening of the newly installed Harry Potter area in 2014. It was instantly popular.
I can confirm!!! I go every year in sept and have never seen it like this oh wow !!! A cast member told me there is no longer a slow season at Disney and I believe it !
September has always been the best time to go to Universal, even about 20 years ago when I'd go as a kid. Usually, your biggest crowds during this month come from overseas field trips where they pull up in a bunch of buses and everyone is wearing the same event shirts, but even those days the rides are pretty much a walk on/very short wait.
I’m legit booking our flights now dev after seeing your video. I haven’t seen universal and even Disney this empty in a long time plus flights are finally going down in price!
The crowds for HHN were insane on Weds night. They were much larger than on the weekends. Not sure where all of those people came from as they clearly weren’t in the parks during your video. But they certainly showed up for HHN.
You and Casey are awesome wonderful true people as well! Ty for bringing your content for us to see as we can't all see it in person! Almost forgot..when is your next cruise? Absolutely love watching your cruises!
Hey Dev, me and my two kids will be down there the 25th to the 30th. we absolutely love your channel and following you send 2020. Hopefully we get to run into you.
It was 93 F yesterday and Florida HUMID at US and WDW. Quite miserable sun and heat for most non-southern visitors…. Magic Kingdom was packed yesterday, perhaps a little less packed than usual… Halloween Horror Nights was very HOT as well…, until close! We arrived at 10:30 pm and closed the park at 2 am, completing 7 haunted houses. Totally worth the sweat! Going back tonight…. The posted wait times for HHN were always overestimated, some by half. We ran a stopwatch for each line, so this was our real-time data. Thanks for the IOA/US walk through and tips! 😅😅😅
@@txterbug. Jade is beautiful! 💕 💕💕 I fell in love with jade in China, exquisite masterpieces from their many fine museums. I wish I could afford a really good bangle but, alas, I lack the enormous funds for such a purchase!
We saw you in the pass holder lounge but were half scared to say hi and half tired from the heat. But wow you’re super tall in person. Wish we said hi!
So if you had to choose 2 weeks to travel to Orlando, would you do the first 2 weeks of september? Or the second and third week? Planning on going there next year. Greetings from the Netherlands
We just back from Halloween Horror Nights, Universal and Islands of Advtnure, We would love to collab with you 1 day. We also just went to Scream-A-Geddon thanks to you.
This is part of a short period where kids are in school, adults are building up funds for xmas, and no one is entirely in the mood yet for halloween. That is temporarily though as over time the crowds will increase as hhn becomes more popular. By halloween it will get crazy and by november 2 it will decrease before boosting heavily as thanksgiving draws near. Another thing boosting the lack of attendance is tron which has seen a surge in popularity now that virtual que is dead. That will be a thing for a few months until epic universe opens. Epic universe will likely boost ticket sales as people will need to buy a multi day ticket in order to do one day of epic universe. That will likely drive up the population at the universal parks while disney will see a steady decline. What you are seeing right now is a good indication of what some parks at disney will be like a few months from now once epic universe is open.
Hello sir. My grandson and I should be there next year around that time. Hopefully it will be the same. He’ll be graduated from high school and epic universe. Should be open by then. Looks like a great time to be there. Thanks for the video and God bless.
Absolutely no idea why people start queuing for stay and scream at 2.30. They then have to wait 3.5 hours till the first house opens.....if you just turn up at 6pm it will be 75 minutes? Why would you 3 times as long in unbearable heat? Makes zero sense
Literally just got in the house back in Scotland just now back from Orlando, September is a good time but the weather can be a bit dramatic. Probably come back April/May, weathers just brilliant then
My friend and I were at universal last month we had a great time I rode the Velocicoaster for the first time and let me tell you Dev it was wild 😜 I loved it
I was there last week - and it should have been empty but was super busy! That said, I did get a 43 minute wait for Hagrid’s mid-afternoon! (The sweepstake is for USA/ Canada residents only)
Dude, we were there today. Got there around maybe 3p. It was way busier than this and by the time we were leaving around 5:30p, it was getting really packed. We didn't go inside the parks today. Just wanted to show my sister the area.
Was this a week day? We will be there Saturday (not for HHN) so I'm wondering what it will be like during the day. Our passes are about to expire and were going to wait till the new park opens before we renew. Im hoping it will be slow during the day Saturday and Sunday if most people are going to HHN
This was filmed on a Wednesday. I do think this weekend will be not as crazy especially during the day because like you said everyone is going to HHN at night.
I was there. Same day. HHN. Arrived @ 5pm and this was NOT the scene. It was packed with people as if it was the weekend. Even the workers said they didn’t expect it to be so busy on a Wednesday.
No everybody is just at Fu@king disney! We are on day 5 of 7 at resort. Every single day at every park is WAY overcrowded, especially for this time of year
So how are the crowds right after Thanksgiving? We are coming back down on Black Friday and staying til Tuesday. We are doing three days at Universal parks to see all of the Christmas stuff and Grinch shows and also going to Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party on Sunday night. Do you think the crowds will be bad and heavy for that weekend?
I know you don’t want to hear this but the parks are always pretty packed around that time. However, it is such a wonderful time being at the parks around that time with Christmas.
Packed over thanksgiving weekend. Black Friday and Saturday are slammed. Starts slowing the Monday or Tuesday after thanksgiving. Change your plans and stay until then.
@@PCDev Thanks Dev. Yes we are definitely looking forward to the Mickey's Very Merry Christmas party on that Sunday after Thanksgiving and the other three days we will be at Universal for all of the Christmas stuff and shows there. It was great meeting you and Bianca at Saratoga Springs Labor Day evening. If I see you again, I'll say hello again.
Daytime attendance is going to be lower this time of year with the seasonal themed night hours. You either want to do the day admission or night, but rarely both as this will throw in additional entry charges. The one time only guests that travel long distance to get there are feeling the financial pinch just as much as the locals,so inevitably they have to make a choice on what to miss out on.
Slow seasom cuts both ways. 65 min Hagrids last night. No line outside of the show building. That should have been 30 min max. But it was actually 65 min b/c they were pulling trains early. Hulk only ran 2 trains last night, also.
No. I said you can take your day admission to the ticket booths for some credit towards a HHN ticket for that night as the sign stated on the way out of the park. You still have to purchase a separate HHN ticket.
Just went last week, it was perfect. Also showed someone the advanced nature of theme parks compared to DiSnEy, she now sees how far behind Disney is currently in almost all aspects of experience! Always happy to take rose colored glasses off Disney cultists. Also, $199 unlimited goes until Dec 18? Went 4 days with 4 more coming up. Universal>
Can you discuss this whole rollback velocicoaster thing that people are suddenly talking about? Have you ever seen it because I’m a passholder , been there a ton and have never seen it. I feel like the vids are doctored🤔
When it comes to legendary team members/cast members, Murph at Universal should be up there with the likes of Maynard from Disneyland. EDIT: What are these rumors about Marvel Superhero Island that you mentioned?
Made our holiday meeting you today! Thank you for taking the time to talk to us and having a picture 😊

Wait times are still the same because they reduce staff & ride vehicles
We were there last week, Hagrid never dropped below 60 minutes, but the wait time for all other rides was low. Saturday was higher for all rides.
I was in Orlando last week. Volcano Bay for opening. US and IOA in the afternoon. HHN at night. Absolutely winning!
Can’t wait gonna be there for the first time Halloween weekend woot woot
Just got back from Orlando and Disney parks were jammed packed !
I can confirm!!! I go every year in sept and have never seen it like this oh wow !!! A cast member told me there is no longer a slow season at Disney and I believe it !
Both for us - 45 minutes for Little Mermaid ride at MK, 55 minutes for Flight of the Hippogriff at IOA 🤯 madness!
Best time to go to universal right now
Good to see you today and keep doing your vlogs we all enjoy them,take care.
This is why I always go to the parks in September!! Cheaper flights, hotels & low wait time
Thanks for the info and updates buddy!

5 days and counting for me!!!! As long as a hurricane doesn't ruin it, Sept and Feb are my favorite months to visit.😁
It was great meeting you today in Universal Studios. Hope to see more update videos from you in the future. Keep up the fantastic blogs. 😎👍
Thank you for the shout out! Love you!
I LOVE seeing when your fans say hi to you 😊😊😊
I’m legit booking our flights now dev after seeing your video. I haven’t seen universal and even Disney this empty in a long time plus flights are finally going down in price!
October is going to be a busy month
The crowds for HHN were insane on Weds night. They were much larger than on the weekends. Not sure where all of those people came from as they clearly weren’t in the parks during your video. But they certainly showed up for HHN.
Horror fans assemble! (I had to)
So stoked to see the short wait times. I'll be there in 2 weeks!
That's a awesome video and words at the end.... thank you so TRUE>.. ALL THE BEST !!! ALWAYS MEN
You and Casey are awesome wonderful true people as well! Ty for bringing your content for us to see as we can't all see it in person! Almost forgot..when is your next cruise? Absolutely love watching your cruises!

Did you know your entire history is set to public? Why are you so obsessed with jade?? 😂😂😂
@@txterbug. Jade is beautiful! 💕 💕💕 I fell in love with jade in China, exquisite masterpieces from their many fine museums. I wish I could afford a really good bangle but, alas, I lack the enormous funds for such a purchase!
thanks for the inspiring words and please update us on epic universe
Empty? It wasn't Empty on Saturday. Packed
I hope it’s the same next weekend when I come! Hope to run into you again at HHN
I love Mummy ride, my favorite ride in Universal 😍
We saw you in the pass holder lounge but were half scared to say hi and half tired from the heat. But wow you’re super tall in person. Wish we said hi!
I missed you by one day. I was there yesterday and enjoying my time it wasn't busy, and wait times weren't that bad...
Just completed a week at Adventura. I rope dropped on my very first day and i had IOA done by noon and half of Studios by 3pm. But it is HUMID 🥵
Heading there this Sunday! Doing 2 nights of HHN while there for the week. Thanks for the video.
We'll be there next week, Celebrating my son's birthday!!
On the be half of team members I wish your son a happy birthday and hope he has a blast
He’s going to have so much fun! Wish him a very happy birthday for me.
So if you had to choose 2 weeks to travel to Orlando, would you do the first 2 weeks of september? Or the second and third week? Planning on going there next year. Greetings from the Netherlands
I would say the 2nd and 3rd week of September!
A Great video! Thank you!
Just came back from Universal California, packed, so what's up with Universal and all parks overall in Orlando
Wassup dev? Just checking on you my boi ! 🫡❤️✊🏽
Hi Dev, have you tried the Disney Springs's Sassagoula River Cruise to French Quarters?
I hope it’s like this when we come next month. I wish we could come in September!
I was in the parks must have just missed you, very light crowds I got so many rides done.
Dev giving murph some love awesome

I'm coming tomorrow from UK...... Soooo excited 😆
Have so much fun! It’s a great time to be here.
lol my trip to universal is in 3 days will be there lol vlogging the entire trip GoPros and all bout to be a movie especially if it’s this empty
Subbed to u bro
@@louisianimal24 ah mannn I am really appreciative of that brotha I ended up doing the trip and have the first video coming out this week

Wed / Thurs were busy. Not crazy, but not dead or empty like someone might think. USF closes at 5 PM. Most people were at IOA.
2 days until I get there 🙌🏻from the uk 🇬🇧, will sure come and say hi if we see you.✈️🎢
Was at HHN tonight. It was packed for a Wednesday night.
I’m going December 13 to the 20. Do you think the park will be empty?
It’s a wonderful day love ❤ I was here in central Florida and I have fun the rides 0:18
My friend and I were at universal last month we had a great time I rode the Velocicoaster for the first time and let me tell you Dev it was wild 😜 I loved it
That’s awesome! That’s my favorite coaster.
Mine too i was so brave conquered my fears but I did it so proud of myself
Today on a Monday the lines everywhere where 40-80 min each. Idk what’s going on!! We left because it wasn’t worth it. Even ET was 50 min.
I was there last week - and it should have been empty but was super busy! That said, I did get a 43 minute wait for Hagrid’s mid-afternoon!
(The sweepstake is for USA/ Canada residents only)
Hi! What about the second half of August? Im planning a visit these days in 2025..
Animal kingdom today was definitely not slow! It was crazy busy over 100 min wait for fop!
Dev you have such memeable thumbnails😂
But that's week days,weekends are more of a wait 😩
I’m shocked that September would be that slow at USF especially with HHN in full force.
Dude, we were there today. Got there around maybe 3p. It was way busier than this and by the time we were leaving around 5:30p, it was getting really packed. We didn't go inside the parks today. Just wanted to show my sister the area.
People are savin up for epic universe
I was there on monday and it was slammed packed.
Was this a week day? We will be there Saturday (not for HHN) so I'm wondering what it will be like during the day. Our passes are about to expire and were going to wait till the new park opens before we renew. Im hoping it will be slow during the day Saturday and Sunday if most people are going to HHN
This was filmed on a Wednesday. I do think this weekend will be not as crazy especially during the day because like you said everyone is going to HHN at night.
Gotta love Lil Boo 🎃
And short ride lines 👍
How many times you've been to HHN so far? I've gone 4 so far, hoping to get at least 10 visits
We was there in first week in September the park was not pack so we go on all ride is was good all day i love that way have alost has fun day.
Great video 👍👍👍
I went to ‘stay and scream’ at 5.10pm… No need to queue 2 hours early!
Is there a time in spring that is not as busy?
I just checked bc of this video. Hagrids is at 10 MINUTES?!?!?!
How? The park closed at 6🤔
Bro didn’t think that threw
Also, do you think being a HHN and the park closes early is contributing to it being slow?
Think most people are holding back until next year for Epic to open.
Man universal looked like a ghost town there today
Everyone has started their saving process for epic I know I have
I was there. Same day. HHN. Arrived @ 5pm and this was NOT the scene. It was packed with people as if it was the weekend. Even the workers said they didn’t expect it to be so busy on a Wednesday.
We were there monday seemed like a normal park day guess everyone left when we did lol...
I was there this time last year it was insanely crowded lol
Everybody took a deep breath, took a trip everywhere but there and choked on a bad fish sandwich
How would crowds be the week of Oct 25th you think?
hmmm...everybody makes a big production when Disney parks aren't busy
And when disney stopped producing physical maps
No everybody is just at Fu@king disney! We are on day 5 of 7 at resort. Every single day at every park is WAY overcrowded, especially for this time of year
So how are the crowds right after Thanksgiving? We are coming back down on Black Friday and staying til Tuesday.

Ill be there next week
We just came back from Orlando on Saturday, and it was not like this. It was busy.

The one time only guests that travel long distance to get there are feeling the financial pinch just as much as the locals,so inevitably they have to make a choice on what to miss out on.
We always go to Orlando in September as the crowds are much more manageable. We’ll be back in 2026, you know why 😂
I m coming in November, hopefully not too busy then.
Slow seasom cuts both ways. 65 min Hagrids last night. No line outside of the show building. That should have been 30 min max. But it was actually 65 min b/c they were pulling trains early.
Hulk only ran 2 trains last night, also.
Dev did you say you can exchange a park day ticket for a Horror Nights ticket?
No. I said you can take your day admission to the ticket booths for some credit towards a HHN ticket for that night as the sign stated on the way out of the park. You still have to purchase a separate HHN ticket.
Oh wow never knew this, so it’s like a discount of a percentage like
10/20% maybe?
Heading to Discovery cove in about a week because it is lowest price of the year.
Just went last week, it was perfect. Also showed someone the advanced nature of theme parks compared to DiSnEy, she now sees how far behind Disney is currently in almost all aspects of experience! Always happy to take rose colored glasses off Disney cultists. Also, $199 unlimited goes until Dec 18? Went 4 days with 4 more coming up. Universal>

Universal revenue is down 10% year over year. Theme park attendance is declining at both Disney and universal
We will be in FL in 26 days!!!!!
Went weds night hhn and was busier than i ever been and disney was also busier than i have ever been in sept
Of course the wait times are still the same as a busy day because Universal cuts staff and ride vehicles.
I answered the stay and scream question today🫢
What’s up! I appreciate the help.
Good job
When it comes to legendary team members/cast members, Murph at Universal should be up there with the likes of Maynard from Disneyland.
EDIT: What are these rumors about Marvel Superhero Island that you mentioned?
