VelociCoaster Opening Day At Universal Orlando Islands Of Adventure, 1st Time Riding ET & More Fun!
Today's vlog is day 2 of our Sapphire Falls staycation but it is also the opening day celebration for the Jurassic World VelociCoaster!! We're so excited for this roller coaster to finally open! But we start the day with breakfast from the Dutch Trading company inside of the hotel and then walk over to the park. Tim was able to get into the park right at park opening and got right into the line for VelociCoaster. He got into the single rider line and got on the ride in an hour and 20 minutes, which was awesome! Then we all met back up in the Seuss Landing area and rode the carousel. Then we take a ride on the Hogwarts Express over to Universal Studios where Jackson got to ride ET for the very first time and it was SO CUTE! He loved it, he was pointing at everything! After lunch and Jackson's nap we head back into the park to try to go to the Dreamworks dance party but it wasn't open, womp womp. But don't worry we'll be back to try to check it out again with Jackson soon! We had such an awesome day and we hope you had fun hanging out with us! thank you for watching and we'll see you tomorrow with a new vid!

I think them giving a complimentary churro at the end of the ride was genius in two ways. One, because it pays tribute to their joke with the construction of the ride. Two, who doesn't love a free snack? Especially after getting off a roller coaster that you probably spent a good deal of your time standing in line for.

Seeing Jackson ride ET for the first time was such a joy. It was so sweet to see how excited Jenn was, too. It's so fun to experience things through a child's eyes--makes them new again.
I had to laugh when you were measuring Jackson for the ride and he was on his tippy toes and you said Jackson no cheating and he smiled like he knew what he was doing😝
The “Jackson will dance” moment cracked me up 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Not me over here bawling over Jackson being such a big buddy on ET

Jackson really is growing up with his own seat and lap bar on the ET ride! 😊
I got so happy when I saw that Jackson was riding E.T. I literally yelled HE’S A BIG BOY NOW🥺
I recently heard an interview with a former ET Ride employee. She said sometimes if you were working loading and there was a really cute kid you could ask to meet them at unload to see how they liked the ride because the most magical part was seeing a kid's reaction after their first ride.

You totally forget about COVID until another wave starts to hit because of one of those variants. I'm sure 60% of those people have not been vaccinated and with Florida's idiot governor, all these people are allowed to not wear masks in such a large crowd and no one knows if the person beside them has COVID or has been vaccinated. Even being vaccinated, I wouldn't want to be around all those people.

We just stayed at the Hard Rock. The walk is literally 4 minutes. That being said first thing in the morning the water taxi is faster because the wait at security is way less.
Oh my gosh! Jackson holding the handle bar at the beginning of ET broke my brain, it was so cute!! ❤️❤️
Two months later, still too terrified to ride Velosacoaster even though I love coasters. I live vicariously through Tim. True story 😆
Jen: I don't think thick cut deli meat Tim: wanna switch with me? If that's not love I don't know what is 🤣
** Omg I loved that you all got to hang out with Ordinary Adventures!! I love them!! Two great families! ❤️
I love it, even on an alien planet, Jackson’s priorities are the flowers.
Jackson likes flowers, airplanes, dancing, butterflies...and ROCKS! lol

Jackson is fearless. He never seems to freak out whether he is seeing a 6 foot tall Pluto or whizzing through space. And he sure charmed the guy taking his heighth. Who could turn down the boy after that big flirty grin??
Seeing Jackson on his first big train ride makes me so excited to see his reaction to his first plane ride! I bet he will love it!
I love how each time Jackson stood on his tip toes, he giggled lol. Like he knew what he was doing lol.
Jackson has no fear what so ever on the rides!! I love hearing Jen and Tim point everything out to him.. it warms my heart so much🧡❤💛💙💜💚 He did so good,At his age I would of been clawing my way out of that seat onto my mom's lap lol 🤣🤣.
Tim, Jen and Jackson, I’m currently living in a part of Canada where the Covid restrictions are so tight that restaurants, schools, parks and gyms are closed. For the past few months your theme park videos showing crowds of people and fun always remind me that there is a light at the end of tunnel and that soon life will return to normal here as well. Thank you so much for your great content and uploading regularly. Your positive videos being me joy each time!!

ET is my most fond memory when I went to the park in 96' when i was young. I'm glad to see Jackson enjoy himself!
I am fascinated by how Jackson is such an intelligent baby. To see him evolve is crazy.
Jackson on E.T. brought tears to my eyes lol SO CUTE! ❤️
Well done to the Team Members for keeping the queue moving and getting people on the ride as quickly as possible. It seemed pretty intense!
ET is one of my favorite rides! Jackson did so well😀
Haha I think I was in that room 2 weeks ago when I went to that resort! 7 floor! Man I miss that place so much! Can’t wait for next year! Hello from Boston! You guys are the best
Had a lovely day out with you. Brings back many memories especially riding ET. I remember the smells walking through the forest to the ride. Happy times.
I can’t wait to get back to Universal to ride Velocicoaster! It looks amazing.
Jackson is such a little pro at the rides. He just knows to reach for the handle bars, like "I got this Mom and Dad".
Awww, omg. What a milestone. Congrats jackson. I love the e.t ride. I hope it stays there forever. He's also very smart, he reached the handle bars to hold on. I hope to have this experience one day when I have a child. 💓💓💓
I loved the footage of Jackson’s first ride on ET - took me back to my daughters first trip when she was 2 - that was 20 years ago !!!! She still loves it just as much x

Congrats to Jackson on his first ET ride! That ride has such a special place in my heart so getting to watch him enjoy it and do so well was really awesome. I laughed out loud when he grabbed the handlebars all on his own. Good stuff.
Oh my gosh you guys Jackson's first E.T ride made me really emotional! He was so brave too I remember I cried on my first time on there but he was SO BRAVE!!!! 💛
Just love you guys! I could watch Jackson all day long! Thanks for sharing your family’s life with us; it’s something I look forward to every day. Love, Eileen 😎❤️

Oh my goodness seeing jackson ride ET for the first time and seeing him so mesmerized and happy on it made me MEEELLLT! Hopefully this ride lasts a few more years so i can ride it again!
I love the garden walk way, 😊
“Jackson has entered jazz hand 🤚🏼 mode” 😂
Whoot! Great job to the twins doing the outtro. Fun trip all around.
Jackson is a little trooper. Looks like he is not afraid of anything. Too cute to see Jackson grabbing the handle bar at ET ride.
This video was EVERYTHING. Jackson holding onto the bike handles and getting to ride ET 🥺 the first excitement and hustle and bustle of a new ride opening since covid 💙 more and more fan endings of “and now it’s time to pay the price” bc we’re able to be close again✨ this time last year was a sad and lonely time. It didn’t feel like there was an end insight. watching home vlogs after home vlogs (which I GLADLY did because it was something to bring a smile to my face) The last month or so of videos have been many exciting “firsts since covid” but this one right here tore at my heart strings. We’re getting there, it’s all been worth it, and we’re all appreciating experiences more than ever now ❤️
Wow Jackson is growing so fast! He can go on ET!!!! this was my favorite ride back in the day and it still is lol...WELCOME HOME YOU'VE ARRIVED!!!!
Good evening!! Can't wait to watch!
Love that people recognize you and they say hi! So wholesome

I'm so happy he loved E.T. and the staff there is always awesome. I have to hit it every time I go.
To get on VelociCoaster so quickly was great Tim - and Jackson on ET ...on my goodness!💗 What a great day!💗
What a nice way to end your day and stopping each day at guest services and letting them know which cast member help make your day...We should all do that...
When Jenn and Jackson were on the carousel and Tim shouted bye buddy - all i could think of was “Bye Buddy, hope you find your dad” from Elf 😂
I was the ET gift shop having pictures taken of my kiddos when you and Jenn and Jackson were in there. I whispered to my kids “look there is Tim Tracker”. It was very exiting for everyone to see you guys!!
Tim's a celebrity in the parks lol
This was so so exciting! Right Jen .... I would have loved to have been there lol I would let you guys ride and I will watch cause I'm not riding that lol but thanks for taking me lol
A quick note of thanks. Currently in Orlando to visit my brother and I’ve been able to try some of your recommendations from Ford’s Garage to Wondermade Marshmallows! This is not a theme park trip for me so I love all the recommendations, not just the theme park pieces.
Omg Jackson waving to the ET characters just made me giggle. Then hugging the stuffed ET ❤❤❤
I gotta say. Its nice to see you guys have the confidence to ride things now. Amazing to see Jackson on ET. Very cool.
Watching Jackson get on ET was sooo cute. He looked so grown up.
Jackson did great on E.T! He's such a big boy!
Just a heads up Ordinary Adventures got to film that preshow for this ride when they rode!
Yes! Jackson's first real ride! So much fun! 🎉
Jackson is giving me pilot vibes
i love this family. been with you guys for years now. makes me happy to you guys happy.
Oh how I loved seeing Jackson get to go on ET ride! One of the best rides there. So glad he enjoyed it. Glad you Tim, got to go on single rider on V ride.

I think Jackson wasnt aknowledging you because he doesnt recognise his name as Jackson, he thinks its Buddy haha
Was so cute spring Jackson on ET holding on to the handle bars!
I went for the opening day too, wait times were crazy all day, but luckily I got there super early and ran straight to Velocicoaster
It is so cute how Jackson is always holding on to Jen
Jackson has no fear - great memories for you with his first time rides!
I have been a subscriber for about 6 years now. I took my wife on her first real vacation to Orlando in 2015, just a few months before I discovered your channel. I've watched all of your vlogs since then because they give me a "moment of vacation" after a hard work day. All that fluff being said, Jackson has grown so much!
I'll be coming for you Velocicoaster! Hopefully next week!
That was so cute seeing Jackson point his finger at Botanicus in the Green Planet scene who was directing us with his lit extended index finger
Technically the Hogwarts Express in Universal is not a train, it just looks like one, it’s actually a cable car and pulled by steel cables. Maybe one day you can take Jackson on the Fieval Playland “water” slide.
