No, I haven't, but we were there Tuesday to Saturday and Tues- Thurs was great. Friday was a little busier, but Saturday was nuts. We left around 2pm to drive home. Looking forward to going back Jan 31.
We've been to 3 and already bought tickets for the next one in June! No lines? Free Food?!? HECK YEAH. Last time we hung by the pool at the hotel until it was time to pick up the tickets. You get in the park well before it closes, so we went in, used the gift cards to eat and see shows, then stayed until the even was over. Slept in the next day, then started it all over again.
@@ThePughTwo could y’all do a video or video series of how to get started doing what y’all do.? Like if my goal was to make it to the Orlando informer meetup. How do you get there? How do you travel vlog? Stuff like that.
@@billygoatredemption That wouldn't really fit the channel, but we are always open for questions. If you follow us on instagram or you find us live on a livestream we could answer that better!
@@ThePughTwo - Oh no! I didn't even know there was a selection process??!!?? If you can in the future would you go over this? PT (and the food) really is one of my reasons to go. It's my Universal "holy grail" that I haven't done
Going to my first OI event. Can’t wait!!! Arriving Friday afternoon to the hotel, then (I hate to say it) but then it’s nap time after driving 6hrs. Then let the gun begin!!!
You guys are awesome! Going to my first meetup in Dec! If you want, can you save the food gift card for another day if you don't want to fill up before the event?
We made it for the early Dec meetup. I imagine that this is how it feels to be let loose in the Wonka Factory, it was amazing. Last year I wasn't able to ride some of the rides (Hagrids) but with a lot of hard work I was able to this year and it was everything that I had built it up in my head.
Hahaha that’s the best description of the meetups! That’s awesome that you were able to ride Hagrid’s this time around, it’s worth the wait! I’m not sure anything will ever top Hagrid’s for us!!
@@ThePughTwo awesome thank you! As many times as we go in December and January we always forget what the weathers like. But, I figure after about five or six….teen butterbeers who can feel the chill lol
Thank you so much Braden! Honestly, watching and liking the videos is so helpful to the channel and helps us grow! We have some other ways to support the channel in the description below each video! Thank you for the support!
I should be packing, leaving for OI meet up in the morning! But watching your hysterical video instead. Thanks for keeping it real guys, love your channel, can tell that theme park food is a true sensory experience for you! 😂
Haha well hopefully you got packed after the video was over! Thank you so much for watching! Aww that is so sweet! We truly do consider ourselves foodies!
How much were the Orlando Informer tickets?? Have y’all been several times before this? Is it only once a year? Is it open to everyone or is invitation needed?
I love seeing the shadows when y'all are walking in Simpsons. Also, Anna, that death look when Tyler drank alllllll the butterbeer, I get it. I've been there!!! This was a great video and I super appreciate all of the videos you both post! Basket O' bait.
Hahaha! We didn't notice them until now! Yeah.. I probably earned that one. I have gotten many in our time together, some were a little unnecessary but this one is totally warranted LOL! Thank you for watching! Yeah it was a basket o baits.. she needed to get it right 🤣🤣
@@ThePughTwo Yeah, that's what the picture I sent you was from.. paused the video right as you gave that look of, 'get it right, or pay the price!'! Ha ha ha ha
I saw you both while waiting for the parade to start last night. I would have ran over to say hi but I had good seating for the parade and it looked like you were on a mission.
Was this the Pop Warner event? Went from the 4-9th. The lines were crazy long during the day but loved the after hours party. We did all the big rides then.
@@ThePughTwo oh okay! They did the same after hours thing for the teams competing. 8pm-12am both parks open and free food and drinks. It cut down the lines so much.
Went to my first one on Dec 4th! I absolutely loved it! Can’t wait to go to the next one! It was an opportunity to try out new foods without worrying about how much it’ll cost!
@@ThePughTwo we were lucky to get to go universal 3 times this year. Some times I think we just need to move down there lol. Love the videos keep it up!
Love the videos - keep 'em coming. Between life events and covid, we haven't been to Universal in... well, they were building Hagrids at the time. Anyway - we have two trips planned so far this year - maybe three and despite having gone to Universal numerous times over the years, you've been very helpful in seeing what's changed as well as how to save a bit. I never would have considered an annual pass, but that's the route we're taking and it will save a lot. One thing I was hoping to see in this video was maybe some reviews of the food (food reviews are always good), more detail on what is or isn't available (like are sit down restaurants included?), how often these events occur and where to get tickets. Still enjoyed the video immensely though! Thanks and keep it up!
We will be doing more food reviews in the upcoming months so stay tuned! So happy that our videos have helped but we are more excited to hear that you are going to get to come back to Universal! The annual passes have allowed us to go as often as we do so we love having them! Keep us updated on your visits!
Looks like you two had so much fun; I'm really hoping I can make it to the meetup in June! Since I've never been to Universal I don't know if I'm most excited about the food or rides (probably both lol). I love that the event includes all you care to eat food and drinks but it just never works out for me lol. When I go anywhere, I get so excited about the food in the planning process but then when I'm actually there, I can't indulge the way my mind wants to lol. It's like my heart wants to be a foodie but my tummy is like ....No! I couldn’t help but holler in laughter when Anna said “One of each for me and one of each for Tyler” only for him to say that wasn’t expressed LOL. Yall are so cute!!! Loved the video as always!
We had soooo much fun! Its definitely a mixture of both that you should be excited about! Haha we get that! We absolutely just stuff ourselves! LOL Tyler is something else isnt he?? I can't help but have a good time! Aww thank you!!
I am not familiar with this event. Can anyone purchase tickets or do you have to be invited to OI? Also it sounds expensive with all the free food, how much does it cost? I would love to go to one. Keep the great videos coming! I love to watch and both of you are very informative. Thanks!
Hey there! Anyone can purchase a ticket to the event! ITs not cheap, but its reasonable. We believe its something $150 dollars, which covers your entry into the parks and everything! Thank you so much for watching!!

Have you ever been to an Orlando Informer meetup??
No but would like to, but only if you guys are there, LOL
Give me 3 days and the answer will be yes!!!!
Definitely have to check it out sometime

Watching this in prep for OI Feb 2024. You guys, so good even back then!
Haha you’re too sweet! Our old ones always make us cringe, but that just means we’re getting better! We’re excited for February!!
Its funny rewatching this. I'm so excited to come and do this a few times this year. Thank you both for giving me a hobby this year. I appreciate it.
Haha I can tell that one’s old just from the thumbnail. We appreciate you watching!!
Now i can watch these videos for research and be excited...cause i have tickets...
Haha yes!! We love it!
@@ThePughTwo going twice. May even go three times if another friend wants to go. But excited. Thank you guys for showing me what it was
You've helped convince us to attend the OI meet up. We'll be there Nov 2023. Very much looking forward to it.
That’s so exciting! We hope you have an amazing time!!
Tyler down drank two butter beers at once....ADDICTION
Lol they’re the best!
Pugh Crew in the house!
Hey hey Paul!
That pizza actually looks banging for a theme park pie
It wasn’t bad at all!
We fly out to Orlando Tomorrow YEAY!!!
Lets goooo! Safe travels and have an amazing time!

Haven’t been. But after this video, an OI Event might have to make the calendar. Thanks for the video.
You are going to love it! Thank you for watching!
So Jelly!! Love your videos. Keep them coming. Wish they were longer can’t get enough haha
Thank you so much Jack! Aww that is so sweet! Since they aren't long enough we will just have to make sure that you have more!

We were on our way home. So sorry we missed you. We were first timers and had so much fun.
We are sorry we missed you as well! So happy to hear you had a good time!
You guys are awesome! Going to my first meetup in Dec! If you want, can you save the food gift card for another day if you don't want to fill up before the event?
Yes, that’s awesome!! And yes, the food card doesn’t expire!
So no I have never been to an Orlando in for my event considering I don’t live in Florida but I will hopefully like to attend one in the Teacher
We highly suggest it if you ever get a chance!
Seems like a dream. Looks like you had the place to yourself
It truly feels like it! You can go just about anywhere in the parks and you might not see anyone!

How much are OI tickets? Is every one this empty? This looks better than buying Express passes.
We think they are close to $200 dollars for the single night, and you can get 2 nights for like $300!
@@ThePughTwo And it goes til 1am? That’s justifiable considering the cost of food and Express passes you’d have to buy to enjoy short lines like that.
@@MrKillerRC depends on the day, but it always runs the same amount of time. It’ll run from 7 - 12 or from 8 - 1!
We were at the meetup in November for 1 day. We're already making plans for 2 days in June next year
Sounds like us! We can't wait to get back!!
How much were the Orlando Informer tickets?? Have y’all been several times before this? Is it only once a year? Is it open to everyone or is invitation needed?
They do it several times a year typically and it’s about $200 per person per night!
Fun video! Looks like you two had a blast at the event! Your Love for the Parks and FOOD is Awesome! Aloha
Thank you so much! We hate we didn't run into you again this trip! Keep crushing Instagram for us. We love the content! Aloha!

We stayed at Portofino during our latest trip!
It was great running into y’all Saturday night. I had my first hot butter beer and I am hooked now!!
It is always our pleasure! Was so nice to meet your husband this time as well! The hot butterbeer is addicting as it can be!
I saw you both while waiting for the parade to start last night. I would have ran over to say hi but I had good seating for the parade and it looked like you were on a mission.
Haha if it was last night, we were running late for the airport! We hope you enjoyed the parade and wish we could have said hello!
How much do the tickets usually cost for this event?
Around $200 per person per night. They do run package deals where you can get both nights for $300 sometimes!

You have to purchase tickets from Orlando Informer! They announce them several months in advance. There is currently one announced for this summer!

Do you know how many tickets they sell for this, looks amazing!
We aren’t sure if they have ever said the exact amount, all we know is there are so few people in the parks it’s incredible!
Do you guys think one night of meetup is enough to hit a good amount of rides at both parks? Around what time does the event finish?
Absolutely! You can get a lot done for sure! With little to no waits, you can ride everything pretty quickly! The event runs for about 4-5 hours!
