I'm lucky enough to go to Universal Orlando for my job every single week -- usually multiple times. Because of this, I have my all-time favorites -- and least favorites in the theme parks. And today I'm sharing them all with you!
Come with me (Molly!) to Islands of Adventure, as I reveal the best rides, eats, and entertainment, from Jurassic Park to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. But there's a twist -- I can only pick one thing for each land, which makes for some very tricky decisions.

I had the great fortune of running into Molly during the filming of this video and even spotted my family momentarily in the footage. How cool! She's as awesome in person as she is on RU-vid and I love experiencing the parks through these videos when I can't be there in person. Thank you again for what you do! 😊

@Mammoth_Club Год назад

Nice to meet you Carrie!!!

@elizabethstacy4991 Год назад

Literally think I would cry if I met Molly lol that’s so awesome!

@brittanycarava7020 Год назад

@elizabeth Stacy oh I did when I met her last year at DCA! 😂🙈🙈 it was so embarrassing but her, Max & Alan could NOT have been sweeter and more understanding of my blubbering mess! Lol

@Troklie Год назад

Lol was that you at 33:23 ? I was thinking that person recognized Molly

@pambowman3459 Год назад

Toon Lagoon should definitely be rethemed to Bikini Bottom, keeps with the cartoon theme and water. The fact that Spongebob only gets a tiny store in Studios is BS! Also, wouldn't it be great if the patio at Mythos was converted to a bar, there are rarely people eating out there and the views are stellar.

@jalapeno1119 Год назад

They could do so much with SpongeBob. Goo Lagoon, Krusty Krab, Jellyfish Fields, Chum Bucket, Mrs Puff's driving school...

@JessicaRose81995 Год назад

I agree!!!

@laurasponaugle1514 Год назад

I love the Mythos bar idea or outside seating on that side!!!

@superj2644 Год назад

Or incorporate scooby doo into the area with spongebob as well.

@nicoletalbutt1383 Год назад

Love this idea !!

@hilarys4889 Год назад

My husband has only been to Disney since I found Molly and implemented her tips. He’s dying to go to Universal, but only with Molly recommendations. 😅😅 He’s been spoiled.

@kates7277 Год назад

I can hear Julie Andrews singing: Butterbeer, fish ’n chips, Florian’s ice cream, Biking with Hagrid and hatching a bank scheme. Throaty frogs croak; Celestina she sings. These are a few of my favourite things!

@samanthadelossantos1967 Год назад

As a UOTM, I’m so happy that you talk about the hight requirements and what is and is not permitted on attractions. Makes me happy to see someone passing along information that is vital to our jobs and the safety of our guests. We appreciate people like you!

💜💜💜

@juliebuchheit7015 Год назад

“Not even a map” had me smiling right from the start. Molly needs an Emmy award. 😂

@MicheleKlinger Год назад

These favorite things videos are fantastic. Picking one thing in each land really opens up the opportunity to share hidden gems about parks that you might not realize exist when thinking of a park as a whole. Can’t wait to see these videos for all other parks

@macbethderham Год назад

Mythos is terrific. And Molly has good taste. So glad you review Universal.

@MommyNancy1979 Год назад

Can you do some UNIVERSAL for 1st timers videos?? I haven't been there since 2001, before we got married & had kids, so I'm really not well versed in Universal as I am in Disney. Love your videos and thank you so much for all that you, Alan and Max do!

@ellene4833 Год назад

Definitely agreed. I've never been to Universal, but that's out plan for the future as the kids are getting older and my eldest has become *obsessed* with HP. A first-timer's guide would be great.

@CraftsByMaura Год назад

I agree! I'm over disney's nickle and diming customers while taking away all he stuff that made it great to go, now it's just a job. I wasn't a big fan of universal when I was there in '04 but it looks like they've added a LOT since then and Molly makes it sound so cool. Tell me ALLLLL the things on how to plan a trip Molly!

@queenboudicca31 Год назад

Molly, you know so much about Universal. I really enjoy all your knowledge, recommendations, and your tips and tricks. Please do more Universal videos, we live them so much.

@RobCiccarelliMusic Год назад

“Featuring characters every kid knows and loves” took me out 😂😂😂😂😂

@LightSparkDaniel Год назад

Molly's sarcasm is such a joy to hear every time.

@courtneyjohnston1115 Год назад

Molly, I love your personality and sense of humor. I am here for it and so frequently find myself laughing right along with you, Alan, and Max in these videos. The "not even a map" reenactment had me smiling from ear to ear. 🤣

@alexpatton1107 Год назад

You should do a video on your favorite cocktails/beers/wines to get in each of the lands in each park! Love the content!!

@kalaoahaole Год назад

IOA is entirely based on BOOKS and not Movies so knowing that makes it ALL make sense, Molly. But You HAVE TO know that. Haha! That's why boats instead of jeeps for Jurassic Park and on and on... It balances the thorough movie theming at Universal Studios Florida across the way very VERY well. Thanks for all the awesome coverage!

@jenniferfesperman1284 Год назад

Tip to offer: I was just there last week; I am usually very motion sick on Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey- not this time though. At least 30 minutes before I got on, I took the non-drowsey dramamine and had a fantastic day!

@ThemeParkAngel Год назад

A great tip is you could get it for free at the first aid station within the parks. 😇

@mike9147 Год назад

How fun to go to Universal and everything is back to pre-covid! No reservations, no time schedule, no phone needed and so less expensive!

@andreaswart4800 Год назад

It’s super expensive though.

@schues317 Год назад

@@andreaswart4800 cheaper than Disney! (Especially the hotels)

@JustinDoesDisney Год назад

Mythos is a great restaurant. Just remember, the chairs are heavier than they look! 😄

@justjoyous848 Год назад

Oh Molly, I wasn’t gonna bother doing Universal for my next vacation, but now I’m watching this …. I can’t explain how much I just love the Wizarding World x

@paganwheels1 Год назад

I love Molly's favorite things! I've become more adventurous in trying new food places. 👌

@theminnemouse7341 Год назад

Last video: “I’d be a great dramatic reenactment actor.” This video: [dramatic reenactment of mapping] A+ comedy callback work tbh 😂

@anzacbiscuts3399 Год назад

I would like to point out that “Molly’s coffee spots ™️” are great cool down spots for people with autism ADHD SPD etc which can become vital for any person or family on theme park days IYKYK

@jessfricke23 3 месяца назад

My favorite underrated “hidden” spot in JP is the caves in the kid’s area!!! So pretty in there, usually empty, and a great place to cool off.

@MalcJaxStudios Год назад

IOA's original idea was inspired by literature. From comics (Marvel and toon lagoon) and graphic novels and all tales. Jurassic Park River adventure was inspired by the raft ride in the book.

@marilynsd1474 Год назад

want to give a cute lil tip as someone who worked at the lemon cart in POE. the "coffee spot" she mentioned, is also the best place to watch the fireworks when the castle is doing them. also, the eggs are green because of a blend of parsley basil and spinach thats then mixed into the eggs.

@KillerKoala87c Год назад

Yay!!! Going to universal for the first time in a LONG time. Glad to have more universal content before the trip ❤🎉

@guarddog2253 Год назад

molly .. you are a gem - there is no one like you and you have so much to share - my partner and i never miss your adventures you take us on - so much fun .. our best to you and alan - jerry and jim

@lexi-ginger-dogs1531 Год назад

Toodels! Love it 😍 love your videos Molly. Thank you for all the tips to the parks!

@bethsanborn79 Год назад

I love Molly's favorite things! Really excited for the Epcot one 💜

@emilykreuzer9493 Год назад

We met Molly while she was filming this and she was the sweetest person ever! Also loved trying the green eggs and ham!

@joshwing779 Год назад

I love that Molly adds the “TM” to the end every time she says Hagrids Magical Creatures Motor Bike Adventure TM 😂

@laurafewell2301 Год назад

Love these "Favorite Things" videos! Just give us all your favorite from everywhere you go! I have never been to Universal but you have inspired me to go!

@Cayla2015 Год назад

"You can get it in a layover in Milwaukee" 😩 nooo Molly come and stay in Milwaukee! You'd love it. We have a very strong coffee culture if you can believe it. And obviously lots of good beer and good food! Come to Summerfest this summer 💙💙

@amysears1829 Год назад

I love seeing the places you duck out of the crowds to! The castle is top on my list here.

@larissacipriano6770 Год назад

Much appreciated tips for the little ones from you. My husband and I love going to Universal and we are taking our kiddos for the first time this year. Love you add the tips in there for folks like us 😊

@courtneyg.1405 Год назад

Love having a MAM video this Friday morning. Helps makes the day even better

@lisad5372 Год назад

I just looked under my seat....sadly I found some cat litter pieces (although I feel I sweep five times a day). No Oprah winner! haha Love the Molly's Favorite Things videos! Love the "REDACTED" lol This is a great video! Toodles!

@yanshen5154 Год назад

Really digging the mammoth club cap. When merch returns I'm definitely picking up some!

@mzfyt1031 Год назад

Poor Toon Lagoon! 😂 We always walk straight through. Hoping that after the Kid Zone remodel in Studios they will consider updating Toon Lagoon as well.

@disneynutd1609 Год назад

Love the Universal Molly tips. Thank You for the ideas 💐

@stephgilliam Год назад

So many shared favs! I live about a thousand miles from Universal Orlando, but I'm lucky enough to visit every couple months, so I've developed pretty strong opinions on what I think the "best" things in each land might be. Although the more often I go, the more I grow to love the quiet little secluded spots where I can be alone, enjoy a beautiful view, and soak in the theming.

@juliesears2049 Год назад

Thank you! I am bringing my son here in early March and we’re so excited 😊

@kittykathy9532 Год назад

I LOVE UNIVERSAL. It has become my “go to” park!

@sacredkey Год назад

I love you Molly, I am so happy to see new videos!

@ratbones620 Год назад

Raptor encounter is so fun! I don’t typically do character meet and greets, but it is a must do. Especially if you love the Jurassic franchise or just dinosaurs in general.

@InfectiousGroovePodcast Год назад

Islands of one of those parks I haven't been to in over 10 years. I remember loving it. We'll need to go back soon and check out your favorites.

@nicolegrimm9904 Год назад

“Dramatic Re-enactment” 😂 (Also, I’m scheduled to go to the Harry Potter forbidden forest experience tomorrow in VA - super excited! I’m going to see if I can drag one of my teens with me! 🤪)

@redfishbluefish5151 Год назад

Finally getting to go to Universal later this year, and with how manypeople are raving about Haggrids, I'm trying to manage my expectations. I don't want to go in overhyped and be disappointed.

@creativeescapestravel Год назад

Great vid as always! So sad I missed out on this merch order! That hat is amazing!!

@ksull72487 Год назад

Molly absolutely love you! Keep up with way you do. I think if you can get that detailed on the park and are able to go every week. It's a plus to some of us who can't do.

@FamilyGal Год назад

I love this game. It does give you a way to include things that wouldn't otherwise be highlighted.

@pipeninja1578 Год назад

Love this channel!!! Just got to Orlando. Will be going to Universal and WDW. I always use your GREAT info to plan my family’s itinerary. THANKS, Molly!!! And…Cheerios! If you look under our car seats you will find CHEERIOS!!!😊❤️

@jmowie215 Год назад

Keep it up Molly!! Love the videos!

@carolynbarnes4317 Год назад

This brings back such amazing memories as we were only there 2 months ago......good job we're going back next year!!!

@michaelbunch8912 Год назад

Thank you for showing the map.The visual helps a great deal.

@karinad769 Год назад

Excellent information!!!! Thank you!

@alisachamoy225 Год назад

Always enjoy your "favorite things." I learn so much. I would SO SO love to see you do a video on Super Nintendo World In Universal/Hollywood. That looks SO cool.

@teaseagogo9 Год назад

This is a great video! 💖 can't wait to be there in 2 weeks!

@bonitak8483 Год назад

Hey Molly, I hear you speak highly of the restaurant Mythos. I will finally try it on my next visit. I’m an annual passholder but never thought to eat at a sit down restaurant while visiting the park but I’ll try it now. Thanks for tips.

@hothotheat3000 Год назад

The footage of the kids throwing down with the Death Eaters is so funny! Fearless kids!

@blairgenevacountyrecording3111 Год назад

LOLOL "The Kong Dog... absolutely not." 🤣 same Molly.

@winnie5873 Год назад

I went to universal a few months ago and went to mythos. We got the spanakopita dip and can confirm, it was one of the best tasting dishes I have ever eaten. I still think about it and can’t wait for my next trip because I will for sure be getting it again!

@robynpilles3263 Год назад

Didn’t know you could get Dole Whip at Toon Lagoon but the best thing is shooting water at people as they finish Dudley’s

@sarahmaikens Год назад

Thanks for this video, Molly; my family and I are always venturing at Universal, discovering NEW places with you!! As you just did for Islands of Adventure, will you please do a video for Universal Studios?!!! You are our "GO-TO-GUIDE-GAL"!! We love your AMAZING channel!!! Thank youuuuuuu!!❤️❤️❤️

@Onniesprairiegarden Год назад

I LOVE Green Eggs and Ham! So good! Hagrid's is absolutely the best ride ever!

@tabithaschwarzenbach6124 Год назад

Love these videos! I am on the west coast, please do a Universal studios Hollywood favorite things...

@jenson22bj Год назад

I will never relate to the toon lagoon hate lol. I LOVVVEEEE it so much, and water rides are just the best 🥹

@wiscontravelers8648 Год назад

Such a great and helpful video!

@stacirobinson6162 Год назад

Molly doesn't need a map.... she IS the map..😆

@eriklang6084 Год назад

This was a fantastically helpful video Molly

@heidipotter9128 Год назад

I remember Kong's 🍌 breath! Only went 1 time, years ago. Don't remember much about the ride, itself. But, the photo op with Kong was awesome!!

@CraftsByMaura Год назад

At 26 mins, talking about how wet you get riding the popeye raft ride, I'm dying! LMAO! I went on that with my family during spring break in high school, so it was that weird time of the year where it doesn't get super hot in florida, so I legit could. NOT. dry. After riding we went and had lunch and over an hour later my pants were still completely soaked, when we got around to jurassic park and found a gift shop with clothes, my mom bought me a new pair of bright pink shorts just so I could sit down not in a puddle. I still have them to this day. LOL!

@alanarapacz1882 Год назад

Molly, love you sporting the "Mammoth" brand 🥰💙💗

@mattwas2896 Год назад

Great video… was wondering if you were going Star singing ..these are a few of my favorite things.. Julie Andrews style ….when the rides wet or have to eat a hotdog i simply remember buzz light year and then it’s not so bad

@Jessfrogger88 Год назад

lol all the kids favorites... Kathy, Marmaduke and this general guy right here

@shoup2882 Год назад

When I was deployed to the "Sandbox" and we were close enough to an assembly area we would get a hot breakfast delivered in a mermite container to keep the eggs warm, the mermites were lined with aluminum which would turn the eggs green by the time we got them, usually around noon! Didn't mind the color, the eggs were good, especially if you have been eating MRE's for a week!

@ryanl5052 Год назад

Awesome and very helpful video! Hoping you make a similar one for Universal Studios 🥰

@offtheracksbtq4480 Год назад

I saw you in the park on this day! So glad I found you!

@Kim_Adragna Год назад

Ohhyeah! I 100% agree with these reccos Molly 🎉

@getgoodfast1396 Год назад

Love the Mammoth Club hat!

@heysatan8 Год назад

Yes! Green eggs and ham tots are so good. I've been here quite a few times and never even knew this place existed. Had them for the first time on my birthday in February. Green eggs and ham for breakfast, then Who Hash for lunch. Delicious! (though the who hash isn't as good imo)

@Nosettrippin Год назад

I saw you at animal kingdom last year, glad to see you’re doing your own thing

@justpurplegaming2049 Год назад

Molly was definitely a Cat in her pass Life.. Wet Molly = Hiss 🐈🐱

@rhillyermiles Год назад

The Jaws ride was awesome. Bring it back! Bring it back!

@kare4dis467 Год назад

Just found your videos and y’all are funny! Love it! Totally agree with the retheming of Toon Lagoon. Kathy’s spread Eagle is just weird! I was thinking a Shrek swamp tour ride for Popeyes and a Trolls ride to replace rip saw falls…also a weird one. Or just make it a dark boat ride through Far Far Away…staying with the Shrek theme.

@Hexecutable Год назад

That feeling when you walk into Islands of Adventure.... I miss it!

@justinpatrick7899 Год назад

Some great choices! My wife & I love Mythos and we actually got the spanakopita when we went last year. You're 100% correct on how good it is. And they were great. I can't have corn so they sliced cucumber for us instead of the pita chips & it was fantastic. I know you hate getting wet on rides, but my wife & I LOVE Rip Saw Falls. That's the best part of Toon Lagoon imo. Though Wimpy's is awesome too. Toodles lol

@ellentierney1253 Год назад

Thanks Molly !!!!!

@adrianaaldrey301 Год назад

My kid would volunteer to ride the pteranodon ride with Molly any day lol I get so scared on that thing and she loves it so poor thing haven’t been able to ride it in a while 🤣

@AmyC531 Год назад

That shot of Molly eating the Dole Whip needs to be blurred the way Alan's mouth gets blurred when he's eating a hot dog.

@Dreamchaser11100 Год назад

I went to both parks last weekend had a blast. It was brought up in conversation, over and over again, that the park could use an update it in a few areas. Toon lagoon and Marvel island being the main ones. They are building a third park, which I'm excited for but I feel they could focus more on what they have and give it some updates. I also wish that Diagon alley had a few more attractions. I want to spend more time in that world. I feel they could expand it into universal.

@feliciapiotrowski Год назад

I'm surprised that I hardly ever see Croissant Moon on more things. They have some good options and their breakfast empanadas are our go-to for breakfast
