It's Day 6 of our Orlando vacation! We went to Universal Studios Florida today. We started the morning rope dropping Villain Con: Minion Blast.
Afterwards, we rode a bunch of different rides with hardly any wait at all the whole morning. The park was mostly empty.
For lunch, we ate at The Leaky Cauldron in Diagon Alley before riding Escape from Gringotts.
We left the park around 3 PM in order to check in at Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort as we move back to Walt Disney World for the rest of our vacation.
We grabbed dinner at Primo Piatto over at the Riviera Resort before going for a night swim at our hotel pool.

Travor and Amy, you probably know this already… …your channel is successful because you tell us your family’s experiences, and that is endearing! I have kids too, and it resonates when you share how funny it is that your smallest child ate 3.5 sausages. ❤😂 Thank you so much for taking us with you on your family vacations!

@SoCalDisneyDad 29 дней назад

And thank you so much for watching! It’s always greatly appreciated.

Our daughter loved the ET ride! Plus we enjoy taking walks at night at Disney. It’s so peaceful and like you said a great time to try to catch fireworks!

My favorite part about E.T. is that he does say your name. And also that he is in the basket in front of you. If you're in the front. I love Caribbean Beach. Of course, that is the only one I have stayed at. But still. Another amazing vlog. Poor Benji. Made me sad he was scared. His face said it all. He is braver than me.

Universal has epic queues. Love me some Disney, but few of their queues hold a candle to every Universal queue. Love this sweeties! Thanks for sharing! Makes me yearn to visit those parks again!

Even my 12 year old daughter did not like the Mummy ride at Universal Hollywood, although she loves Forbidden Journey. But she is a big Harry Potter fan. I’ve been enjoying watching your vlogs of Orlando! I don’t know if we’ll ever get the chance to get over to that side of the US for all those theme parks, so I feel like I’m living vicariously through these vlogs! 🤣

Bangers and mash!!! Oh yum. I'd go just for English food. Poor little guy, kudos for trying the ride. Looks like he still had a good, fun time.

Our 6 year old, like Benjamin, is also not ready for most of the rides at Universal. In fact the only one he likes is Minion blasters, but he loves it so we have done it a zillion times to make it up to him for all the time in the child swap room! We also visit Honeydukes before getting in the Hagrids line, so he has a treat to enjoy while waiting. Even though he doesn’t enjoy many rides, he enjoys going to universal for the Minion blasters and camp Jurassic, and being either his family!

That play area in Jurassic Park is phenomenal!

If you love shooter games, you'd love Berrytales at Knott's Berry Farm!

@SoCalDisneyDad 29 дней назад

Yes! We’ve played that one before, though I don’t remember a whole lot about it. We were just talking about seeing if we can go to Knott’s sometime this summer. Maybe in August before the kids go back to school.

@Bekahrama 29 дней назад

@SoCalDisneyDad It's a walk on at rope drop. A couple weeks ago I was able to ride it twice in a row without getting off because there was no one else in line! It's a great ride!

@l4ayyy 29 дней назад

love the episodes! do you find it difficult to balance the work / life aspect of these trips?

@SoCalDisneyDad 29 дней назад

The trips are really simple for filming, because I mostly am just cataloguing our trip in a way that I want to remember or want for research when we start planning again next time. I didn’t do any of our usual video content for these, which means there was no research for tips, no advanced planning of filming locations, no B-Roll (extra footage) necessary (outside of food). This year, we didn’t even do food reviews. In years past I’ve arranged it so every sit down dinner was its own video which required more dining content, extra intros and outros, thumbnails, etc. so there’s more planning. I’ve also done it before where I’ve put those dining reviews out while still in Orlando. I would edit and upload in the evening after the kids went to bed. But for this trip, we pre-scheduled nearly two weeks worth of Disneyland content before we left, so I worked extra hard in the week or two leading up to the trip so that once we were there it was far more relaxing. I just straight filmed what happened that day, off-loaded the footage to my laptop each night, and went to bed ready to do it again the next day.

I agree that the Simpsons ride was rather meh. I wish I had Benjamin’s energy. My metabolism envies his walk/run speed 😂

Back in 08 or whenever it opened it was soo good. Now the screens so outdated

Hi guys, loving your videos. Very generous of you to video whilst you’re on vacation.. Just wondering where Amy bought her anti nausea patches and did they really make a difference?

@SoCalDisneyDad 25 дней назад

I think she just bought some generics from Amazon. She said they did help, but a prescription one would likely be more effective, just potentially cause drowsiness.

How come you can’t film any rides or shows in universal studios in Orlando? We went to universal studios Hollywood this Sunday and was able to film anything we wanted (i.e. studios tour, waterworld shows)

@SoCalDisneyDad 28 дней назад

Hollywood runs a little different than Orlando, but they’d still not allow you to film on something like Revenge of the Mummy. Orlando is mostly all big thrill rides, and I’ve been yelled at over the loudspeaker to put my phone away. There are whole groups and forums dedicated to the topic of filming at Universal. Most advice is to buy a pair of camera glasses as they’re the only thing that gets by, even over properly strapped Go Pros.

@randywhittle9678 26 дней назад

While I am enjoying these videos, I would love to hear more detailed ride reviews. Do you have another video of the Universal and WDW rides where you share more thoughts on some of these attractions? Thanks!

@SoCalDisneyDad 26 дней назад

Not for the East Coast parks. But it is something I could put together if you’d find it helpful. I have footage for everything (at WDW anyway).

@randywhittle9678 26 дней назад

I just enjoy hearing ride reviews and why you did or did not like a particular attraction. On a side note…How would you rank the video game style rides among the parks? I would personally put Men in Black over all the others because it’s theming is top notch with minimal screens:)

@SoCalDisneyDad 26 дней назад

@@randywhittle9678 I prefer Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters (Disneyland version) to anything else I think in terms of theming, control of vehicle, control of blasters, and trigger/target sensitivity. The WDW version of Buzz is terrible by comparison and I’d rank Men in Black above it for sure. I really do like the screen ones though, and thought Villain Con was top notch. I also really enjoy Toy Story Midway Mania. DCA’s Spider-Man is probably my least favorite of the screen heavy game rides.

@randywhittle9678 25 дней назад

Yeah WDW Buzz ride sucks as my gun never worked. Villain Con was ok I guess but I really would’ve preferred having a ride vehicle to make it more dynamic and feel less “gimmicky.”

@tanyaschaffer2348 29 дней назад

What is the difference between the express pass you got and the one your mom got?

@SoCalDisneyDad 29 дней назад

Ours is Unlimited, so it can be used over and over. The single use Express Pass is good once per ride. So if you plan to ride something twice with the standard Express Pass, then you’ll need to standby one of those times.

@ginsuza Месяц назад

In regards to your Disney resort room request: what did you mean by requesting 48 or 52? Are they building numbers or room numbers?

@SoCalDisneyDad Месяц назад

Buildings 45 or 51 are the buildings directly opposite Centertown on the Skyliner side of the resort. I should have added in a map of the resort there. www.wdwinfo.com/resortmaps/cbrmap.htm We like that location because it’s quick access to Centertown and relatively close to the Skyliner as well. Building 52 wasn’t too bad though. But I still think I prefer 45 overall.

Hi there! I have a question regarding get away today. I am a magic key holder and only need a hotel. Does get away today offer hotel only? Thank you 💖

@SoCalDisneyDad 29 дней назад

They do, yes! But you won’t be able to get the $10 off with the coupon code I put in the descriptions. That’s packages only. Just visit their website (ideally through the link in the description so I receive a commission) and choose “Hotel Only” and it will show you their “recommended” hotels that often have discounts right at the top.
