Universal Studios AFTER HOURS - Orlando Informer Summer 2023! Rare Characters, Unlimited Food & More
Join us for the Orlando Informer summer 2023 Meetup After Hours event at Universal Studios Florida and Islands of Adventure! We enjoy a late summer night in both parks, with unlimited food from so many venues, special characters, and an exclusive lounge for this summer - the Creepy Cay, filled with dancing retro beachy zombies, Frankenstein's monster and Dracula’s bride, tiki bars, a volcano and of course specialty tiki drinks! We have a blast mixing some of our favorite things - theme parks, SUMMER VIBES, SPOOKY HALLOWEEN VIBES, and food! And we get to see The Nighttime Lights At Hogwarts Castle, which is currently closed for refurbishment, but played specially for this weekend only.
Each Orlando Informer Meetup is different, and you can find lots of past events in my playlist to see how they have changed and evolved and examples of how they are during different seasons, too - here's the playlist: • Playlist
Thank you to Orlando Informer for having us out to this event, we have been attending for years and love the vibes, the atmosphere, the food, characters and special feel of OI at Universal!!
Welcome to Super Enthused! My name is Jackie and I bring you along as we explore the best theme parks, unique travel destinations, historic sites, cool cities and more! Thanks for joining the adventures!

Loved your Orlando Informer meet up Vlog Jackie!!! Looks so much fun to attend, especially there was little to no wait time!! I love Hogsmeade it’s so much fun in there so glad that you guys got butter beer, and Jackie I loved how you said Harry Potter when toasting Sam ❤️😀😂!! I always like to say a little English accent, when seeing Harry Potter lol!!! The wait time for Hagrids was not bad. I love that ride. It’s so much fun!!! The pizza tots looked really yummy!! I loved the crazy zombies that were kept coming by you guys. It was funny 😂😂!!! so glad you and Sam had another great day there, and had so much fun!! ❤️😊❤️🥰😊😊
Just saying... the excitement in Sam's voice when he spotted Woody Woodpecker !! 😂😂 awesome times at the meet up!

That theming with the volcano, tiki hut, dancers, monsters, and just the decorations in general looked so awesome. Coming August 9th and the videos I’ve seen of the western theme for this summer looks disappointing by comparison. Still super excited as it’s our first OI event!

Jackie, this is how I found you! I was looking for OI Meet-up vids on YT to prepare us for the 2020 June event and came across yours! I was immediately hooked by your fun personality, positivity and creativity. I have been following you ever since! 😁 You and Sam are just the cutest gems! I cannot wait for the day to meet you both in person. I am hoping to be at one of the Winter meet-ups and will look for you then. If not, I will be moving to Orlando next year and will be seeking you out whenever I’m in the parks. 😉 Since you know the Pughs, I have a fun challenge idea for the four of you that would make for a fun video at IOA! The challenge is ride/ do all attractions at IOA in alphabetical order. One team starts at A and goes forward and the other starts at Z and goes backward. Whichever team finishes first, is the ultimate champion! You could even throw a few snacks in there so you don’t go hungry, but they would have to be eaten where they come in the alphabet. This is my idea but of course you could all do your own fun spin on it. 😉

Hi all good morning happy Sunday morning and I hope you having amazing day today and I loved your vlogs and you all amazing Supporter
Turtles!! 🥹 We're dying to get back for another Orlando Informer event. Our last one was the winter event in 2021, and it's been _way_ too long. Plus, the whole system for food and snacks has been overhauled since then! Love to see that almost every restaurant is participating in the event now. And Woody Woodpecker, are you KIDDING ME!? 😍 Talk about a rare character! As Sam pointed out on the podcast, precious few kids in today's world will even know who Woody Woodpecker is; that character meet is _just_ for us legacies who grew up with his obnoxious laugh following us around. LOVED the Creepy Cay, zombie dance and all! Frankenstein and his bride are looking iconic as ever - but Franky needs a haircut! 😂 Now here's the big question...do we think that Orlando Informer will shift gears to Epic Universe someday, or will they forever stay on campus at the original two parks? 👀 I guess time will tell! Great vlog Jackie, thanks so much for sharing!

Aw sorry to hear that, what happened? I guess it’s normal that not everyone will like every event or thing, and anything can happen. You can always enjoy the park normally on any five day tho, the special parts are just a little something extra and special for whoever and whenever 🩷
As Universal expands in creating different lands, is there any talk of having longer park hours?

Park hours tend to be later in the summer and more busy seasons, but shorter during the week and slower seasons. I would love if the parks stayed open later, too. We’ll see what they do with EPIC Universe!

The prices vary, it’s lower at first and it goes up closer to the event. It also depends on if you do one day or two days. I don’t want to give you a wrong price because it does differ by event, time of year, how early you purchase, so I’d rather suggest visiting the Orlando Informer Meetup site and seeing the cost of each event. They can range from about $230-250, but sometimes less, sometimes more. The best deal is to get them the day they drop the tickets, they’ve heavily discounted!
