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.

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

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 ...

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.

I always say with the steps thing it depends on the person. If you are a runner and so is your spouse and you are both native Floridians and running 6 miles sounds like a fun Saturday afternoon, then no worries. If you aren't partly insane like myself for sure pacing is hugely important. You will have more fun by not over doing it.

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.

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.

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!

I am from Brazil. I was in Orlando last month (May, 2023) and went to Universal Park and Disney World. I didn't know this refil cup. So I liked much more the Universal Park. This has excellents roller coasters, amazing simulators, and Harry Potter's place. I just found your channel, and I liked. You gained a subscribe. Yeah! =D

Thank you so much! We’re so glad you had a great time at the parks, and we hope you get to visit again soon. Thanks for watching!!

Your channel is the reason we know about the freestyle cups! We bring ours back every time and it saves us a ton. We're sad that the other popular theme parks done have them. 😊 and check premier hotels for express, people!! Only way we do express now.

I like that I’m seeing most of the islands of adventure lands behind you it looks very nice! ❤

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

Жыл бұрын

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!

Nice video! LOL about your 40,000 steps observation. I recall doing a max of 21K at Epcot not too long ago and hitting the wall. Makes me reflect how step-counting is a relatively recent fad; wonder what my limit would have been 30 years ago. Enjoy your youth! 😉

I would say the EPs are worth it over children’s breaks from school and major national holidays. I flew here from Massachusetts and will probably not return for a few years, so I’m glad my family and I could skip the whole line - it’s spring break for kids in most states and the park was absolutely packed.
