I started watching your videos as prep for my Orlando trip this summer, but I've honestly been watching them over and over just because I really enjoy watching you two enjoy Universal and now Disney World, which makes me even more excited for my own trip! Also, just wanna say again that the camera work, editing, color grading, etc. keeps getting better and better!

@ThePughTwo Год назад

Awh, thank you so much! You’re so sweet! Our goal is always to make each video 1% better, so it’s nice knowing it doesn’t go unnoticed!

@amyb347 Год назад

Went today. The line times are so accurate. We first rode Velocicoaster and the sign said 35 minutes and we waited 20. Same with Hagrid's; sign said 85 minutes and we actually waited 40. It was a really great way to get out of the heat for awhile

@ThePughTwo Год назад

😂😂 we love it! And yes! Most of the lines have great AC which is a huge bonus lol

@richardbyrd7268 2 месяца назад

It kinda,maybe, sorta sounds like you're saying the signs aren't all that accurate.

@ThemeParkUpdate 2 месяца назад

Explaining this from an employee perspective, especially with hagrids: We post our wait times based on an equal amount of express and stand by guests getting pulled through. Normally though (especially on not crazy busy days) there aren’t many express people so the regular line moves faster. This is especially true on hagrids where regular express isn’t offered, it’s only people with accommodations or single use express passes, so the regular line will 90% of the time move faster than posted.

@3Gads 8 месяцев назад

It really speaks to how well maintained the queue times are when Universal Express is considered unnecessary. I'm looking at you, Disney!

@ThePughTwo 8 месяцев назад

Universal usually does a good job of keeping things moving!

@lexirowe3151 9 дней назад

Love that you talk about taking breaks and enjoying things other than rides. My favorite Universal memories are exploring Diagon Alley, enjoying butter beer and all the shows in the Wizarding World. Awesome stuff

@jasonelder2296 Год назад

As an annual pass holder myself, I too enjoy observing folks' first-time reactions to rides and shows. I recently rode with a large family on Jurassic Falls, and their very loud screams and laughter at the T-rex were awesome.

My favorite is always riding with newbies. Mummy is a great one for newbies, as well as spiderman! Hulk is always hilarious as well

@largol33t12 10 месяцев назад

If your children are big fans of the HP books and movies, the shows in Diagon Alley are usually based on the fairy tales Hermione read to her friends in the Deathly Hallows. I saw the play based on the tale of the Three Brothers. It was fun and children would enjoy it.

What a money grab

@ItsGibsy Год назад

When I used to squeeze all of my HHN trip into like 1-2 days (because I didnt get PTO) I would always come home feeling like I need a vacation from my vacation. I was so stressed out and tired from all the walking and from trying to get everything into such a small amount of time. Now that I can actually take my time in Orlando once a year, it's so nice and refreshing. We spend 2 weeks there for HHN and like 1/3 of the days are like Chill days. Much needed. Don't overlook chill days.

@ThePughTwo Год назад

That's so nice!! We definitely know what you mean about the short trips where you're trying to squeeze everything in. It's so much fun, but boy was it exhausting!

@mamanothing9506 Год назад

Here is a tip- We bring collapsible cups to fill up with water. Unfortunately, at Universal (unlike Disney), the big cups have to be put in lockers before you go on rides which we feel is a pain to do. The collapsible cups fit in pockets. Thanks for another great video! Blessings!

@ThePughTwo Год назад

We always have the camera bag with us, so carrying the cups doesn’t bother us! Lol a lot of people feel the same way about the cups though!

@remconet Год назад

I had the same thought with that huge-ass cup. In Universal you better walk around with as little on you as possible. Water is free anyway.

@largol33t12 10 месяцев назад

I have one major gripe about the lockers: sometimes, you don't get a chance to adjust your eyes to the darkness so you're fumbling around while actually blind. Then you have to wait what feels like a year for your eyes to adjust to the dim screen and swipe your ticket to get assigned a locker. Worse, if everyone wants to get on the ride, it's a huge shoving match. I'm honestly surprised that nobody has been trampled. At least the guests try to not trip over each other while struggling to find their assigned lockers. I think the worst ones are the lockers assigned to HP Forbidden Journey in Is. of Adventure. It was ROUGH trying to get to a locker. PS: you have to swipe the card at the screen to be assigned your locker. Of course, remember to KEEP your ticket in your pocket or stuff it in your shoe if you were crazy enough to come in pants that have no pockets. You will need it to open your locker.

@kellylingro3288 Год назад

I've been to universal twice and never bought the express pass. The first trip was 3 days during my college spring break when it was pretty busy. We still got on every ride we wanted and rode our favorites at least twice. The second time was in February when it was quieter and it was actually so cold we wore pants and sweatshirts. Two days was plenty of time for that trip.

@ThePughTwo Год назад

That’s awesome! Express is definitely a personal choice about waiting in line, and you can definitely have a great trip without it!

@michaelschroeck2254 Год назад

I’ve only been to universal once so far, but to me it seems the best way to get the highest tier express pass is just stay at one of the deluxe hotels. I did the math and it was cheaper than staying at a cheap hotel and buying express pass.

@ThePughTwo Год назад

A lot of the time it’s way cheaper to stay at a premier hotel! Not always, though, so it’s good to price check!

My suggestion on the Express Pass, is to stay at one of the hotels that offer it free. Even if you’re paying over $400 a night for the room, everyone staying in the room gets an EP. It really is the best deal. I’m going again while Lowes Portifino is being renovated and got a GREAT deal on the room (under $300) with the free EP. Win/Win deal!!😁

@ThePughTwo 10 месяцев назад

Oh yes! We love the premier hotels!!

@winnie2379 9 месяцев назад

The Club Rooms at the 3 major resorts are a must for us now. Years ago we were staying at the Portofino and our bathroom ceiling leaked with the water from the room on the floor above us. And no hot water for the bathtub. They repaired our room until 2am - and the next morning our bathroom ceiling collapsed!! They moved us to another room, took some $ off our bill and added Club Room access to all 5 of us. It costs a lot more nowadays to add this benefit, but we eat breakfast there, stop by for snacks during the day & return in the evening for drinks & desserts.

@MaJunior00 3 месяца назад

I generally either go alone, or with one person. The extra money each night just isn't worth it. Generally though, the premier hotels are probably a bargain for many guests. As for me, I'm perfectly content at the Aventura.

We went to universal Wednesday and Thursday and made a couple of the mistakes you were talking about. My wife was so excited for the park the we did two 12 hour days and then everyone was exhausted on our Epcot day. I’m also a bit disappointed that I spent $1000 on express passes for everyone for the Thursday and almost everything was a walk on. I bought them well in advance so I didn’t pay as much as day of. I know you can’t really predict park volume but they were still trying to sell express for $270 each when we were in the park

We always bring a bag! They have free lockers for the rides that you can’t take your stuff on, too!

The express pass is spot on. I would also add please dont make the mistake of not reviewing the park map before your trip. When the parks are crowded you want to save precious steps and time by not getting turned around or lost. And lastly, if you are going into a long queue with young kids PLEASE make sure they dont need the bathroom. Imagine being 45 mins into the gueue line and your little one looks up and says ... I gotta go real bad. You may be able to find a team member that escort you out and back in... but hassle😢

@ThePughTwo Год назад

That happened to us with our little nephew on Hagrid’s! Lol his dad had to take him to the bathroom in Hogsmeade, and we had to wait for them to get back. We couldn’t agree more with both of those!!

It's unfortunate that many underestimate the size of Universal. I think the problem is they may have been there when it was small (😂) and some came back after the expansion which is when the Harry Potter lands were built. They were probably overwhelmed by the size, thinking they could do it all in one day. That USED to be true - in 1990! I finally had a chance to come back after all that time and was still reeling in shock by the size of the parks. I was glad that I set aside three days to make sure I could see both lands and explore CityWalk without trying to have a heart attack. If you are on limited time, do not schedule fewer than two days. You need one day at Universal and one at Is. of Adventure. Remember, the crowds are NOT as thin as they used to be. Unfortunately, it is true that Disney fans are defecting in large numbers and many season passholders are grumbling that the slow days at Universal are getting rare.

These parks have absolutely no shame and take every dime of your money they possibly can. $30 just to park, $270 for a single ticket, $15 for one slice of pizza and another $200 if you want expresses passes so you don't stand in line all day. It's ridiculous.

Hi Anna & Tyler! As always, great tip for park visits. The only thing that I do not do is the freestyle cup, I just do not want to carry that cup all day with me. But it can be a big money saver, I tend over hydrate before going to the park and then drink water when I get food and refill that cup as you pointed out.

@ThePughTwo Год назад

We get that! We already have the camera bad when we’re there, so it’s not much more to put the cup in the drink pocket. A lot of people have been enjoying the cup holders they’ve been selling lately too!

Do you guys ever 'use' the parks as a way to meet new people? I've always wondered what it'd be like to live near Universal, a truly international hub, and constantly be meeting new cultures of people living their best life in the parks.

@ThePughTwo Год назад

We’ve met several people through the parks! It’s never been something where we necessarily set out to make friends, but we’ve gotten to know some team members and other locals just from bumping into them all the time!

@nikilondon1477 Год назад

Hopefully Universal has improved their refill stations. We went last May and purchased the cups for our 3 day trip. Unfortunately, most of the times we went to any of the refill stations, there was no ice. This occurred as early as noon in both parks. Found this to be very aggravating. Soda and water out of the refill stations was fairly cold but not as cold as with ice and on a hot day this did not work for us. When we asked cast members about the machines being out of ice, they just looked puzzled and shrugged their shoulders as if to say, not my problem.

@ThePughTwo Год назад

Yeah they do the best they can to haul ice around and refill them, but unfortunately it’s hard to keep up with it when the parks are busy. It can be frustrating to get a warm drink, but we understand. There are a few “lesser known” stations that you can almost always count on to still have ice/whatever drink you’re wanting!

@jc5676 Год назад

They definitely never improve that because i haven't been for a few years and that was the problem i had..couldnt find refill stations with ICE and then would find one and the Line would be extremely long...very frustrating.

Love your videos! I am educating myself and the family before our first trip to Universal! Drink question--did you find it hard to locate a freestyle machine to refill your cup? Did you find machines were out of flavors? Also, any recommendations on a cup sling to wear or clip to a fanny pack? TIA

@ThePughTwo Год назад

At this point we know where all the freestyle machines are, but there’s a little bit of a learning curve! You can find them in most of the quick service restaurants and on the side of some of the snack carts. You can also walk up to any of the carts with a fountain drink machine and get it filled there too. They do run out of certain drinks or flavors sometimes, but we get it. There are a lot of machines and they’re not all gonna be 100% full especially when it’s really busy. Universal has started selling slings to carry your cup and they work really well!
