    Hi guys, not sure if anyone has made a comment yet about it but just in case. The Toon Amphitheater is actually used year round, just not for day guests. It's where we usually hold the cheer competitions, sometimes it's used for set construction/filming, and is also used as a storage area during the holidays. There used to be a show in the amphitheater when it first opened but it got discontinued many years ago.

    Behind Hogs head there are umbrellas and a nice patio that is great shelter for rain. If you are looking at the front door to hogs head, there is an archway to the right of it that brings you back to an empty patio where you can watch velocicoaster while sipping butterbeer

    Hey guys 👋🏻 ..so, a few months ago I was searching online for info on what Universal lets you carry on the rides at both parks, and I stumbled across one of your videos. You guys had the best info anywhere online, by far! You really helped me in finding the perfect travel pack to take to Universal on my last trip. Thanks Anna & Tyler! 👍🏻 Now, I'm going back there next week with my girlfriend (who loves Universal, but HATES crowded areas) ..and I plan on impressing her with my vast knowledge of all the secret hideaway spots from your latest video 😎 ..thanks again guys! and keep up the good work ✌🏻

    in Jurassic Park, the right side of the Discovery Center after you exit Velocicoaster is normally empty except for some parked strollers and is covered. In Hogsmeade the alley behind Honeydukes is always empty. In Suess Landing there's never anyone down by Sneetch Beach.

    Check out the awning attached to the back of Comic Strip Cafe in Toon Lagoon that you can access behind Dudley Do-Right's. The cafe closes pretty early usually so it's abandoned and shaded. I always sat there while my family did water rides and there was almost never another person back there.

    I went to Universal a couple of weeks ago. Before I went I binged on your videos. I’m so glad I did because I really had no idea what to do or where to go and was a bit overwhelmed. But after watching your videos I had a plan and felt confident about it. Did the two day park hopper so I could ride the hogwarts express. Had five butter beers, all three types. Got everything in in my two days there. I’m sure I missed some stuff but I think I really got everything in I wanted to. I even did those Jurassic caves. My biggest surprise was The fast and Furious because I’ve only heard people say they don’t like it but I thought it was great. Velocicoaster was my favorite. And I was blown away by all the Harry Potter stuff. I liked the rice bowls at Thunder falls terrace. Anyways just wanted to let you know your videos helped so much, would never have known about knockturn ally, was great. I subbed and will keep watching, thanks!

    Question: Do you recommend taking a midday swimming break at either our Universal hotel or Volcano Bay? Coming from Disney trips, that’s recommended a lot, and we usually did that with our young boys. Swim and cool down from 1 to 4 and then head back to the parks in the later afternoon. I haven’t read/watched anyone talk about that for Universal trips. Most itineraries suggest a day trip to Volcano Bay instead of spending a couple hours there daily. Does it just take too long to travel between the parks and waste too much time? What are your thoughts? For reference, I’m going with my adult sisters mid May for 5 days/4 nights, staying at Cabana. Never been to Universal, and the Wizarding World is the main draw! Love love love your channel. It’s been so helpful as we plan! Thanks ❤️

    It really depends how long you have at the parks! If you’re there for 4-5 days or more, you can afford the time it takes to get between them. If you have three days and you’re trying to see all three parks, trying to hop between the three is a little much. Heading back to the hotels is something that a lot of people do, though! That’s more doable!

    Hogsmeade has a spot by Honeydukes. It looks like an employee walkway (and it is), but there are a couple cool Instagram walls back there and it's pretty quiet. Also...Suess Landing has a spot kind of in the back...walkway that has a couple low arches. You can't really see what's behind the arches from the main areas, but if you duck through the arch, you can go back and sit on an egg...like Horton!

    Hi my Wife and I were in the Me Ship Olive area behind the boat. It was late at night, it might of been on a OI meetup and I was in a ECV . Warning! It can get kinda confusing to navigate the area, the ramps need for the ECV are not strategically placed to allow quick in n out navigation. The stairs are , but not the ramps ! In the Darkness i had to waste a huge amounts of time to get out of the area !! Was very difficult. Had to send the wife ahead to scout for the ramps , she walked the stairs found the ramps then directed me to them. Was super frustrating for me to get out. Good thing I didn't have a emergency. Also i can walk if i have too, but couldn't leave the ECV behind.
