We've always hit the park rides really hard, but what I've learned watching your vlogs is we are missing a whole different side of the parks. We have a trip planned in October and we are going to try slowing down and enjoying the deatils. Thank you for these really fun vlogs.
If I can respond to the negativity that you might get on your universal vlogs- this is coming from a universal passholder, who visits Disney occasionally. The only problem I would have with your universal vlogs is that, being a very big fan of universal, I feel that the vlogs give the impression that there isn’t much of value at universal outside of the Harry Potter stuff. I personally went for the potter stuff, but fell in love with the parks as a whole. You say you’ve done all the attractions, but have you done Hagrids? Or Velocicoaster? And the Bourne show is incredible. Just my advice, not for your personal theme park enjoyment, but for your vlogs, is to either fully show what universal has to offer (the nighttime show is my favorite) or just mention the things that people might want to know about (I’m a personal fan of the beat builders).
Hey Victoria 🤗 As someone who can’t do rides I actually love seeing these types of vlogs. It’s great to see all the shops and to just get a feel for the area so thank you ☺️ xxx
Love your Universal Vlogs too Victoria!! Hoping to get there in May🤞🤞 Love seeing what's going on over there in the parks and getting excited for our trip!! 😎✈️😍
I found your advice re crowds very helpful. On our up coming trip in June to WDW I will be travelling with my sister who is blind so I have been extra concerned about getting around inside busy parks. I want her experience to be as good as it possibly can be, and, as her guide, I will be taking your advice and putting my ‘patience hat’ on each morning because if I’m in a mood and stressed out, it will just make my sister’s experience less enjoyable. Thank you for the fab vlogs 😊
Loved seeing you back in Universal😊 I'm the same way, I find myself riding less rides at Universal & just enjoy walking around and taking in the atmosphere (especially in the Harry Potter themed areas!) Love your hair & headband btw😄
Enjoyed seeing you stroll around Universal today & soak up the atmosphere 😊 On our last trip to Disneyland we did similar & found it to be quite relaxing & ended up seeing different things due to the slower pace. Great vlog series 💕
I’ve loved all your vlogs so far but as I’m a HP fan this has been my favourite. It’s good to see how busy it’s been, so I’ll definitely pack my patient pants for my trip in just over a week!
I love the vlogs where you just have a mooch around. It doesn't always need to be rushing between rides. I've never been to Universal but would love to see all the Harry Potter stuff.
Oh my gosh, I love your outfit! I'm house Ravenclaw as well and I feel you don't hear about that one as often. We are visiting for the 1st time in August and I'm excited.
More Universal for sure! And one thing I haven’t seen which would be so useful for people is like a Universal resort tour of all their hotels cos it’s nice to see what it’s like, pool area, benefits of staying there and where it is etc. I’ve stayed at a couple but there are some newer hotels I’d like to know more about. Also the big pink donut from simpsons I think is so much nicer than voodoo, they were way overrated imo obvs. Great vlog as always and what a lovely T-shirt you bought from Diagon alley. X
Hi Victoria you're vlogs are brilliant ,your information about all that we need to know we appreciate ,as we are off to Florida in Oct ,so keep up your great vlogs n THANK-YOU !!!💖
You've made a lot of really important points in this vlog about Universal. When I went in 2018 and into UStudios I was completely overwhelmed! It's SO loud compared to Disney. If anyone's sensory sensitive like me they'll much prefer the ambiance of Islands of Adventure that's for sure!
I was at the parks last month and had the best time! Disney was absolutely amazing! However universal was just too busy. Hogsmead was like playing sardines. Between the queues for people waiting for Hagrids, shops, stalls and wand interactions, there was barely any space to move. I found it so overwhelming I had to leave around lunch everyday I was there. It was really sad because I was so excited to go back to all the Harry Potter worlds. Hopefully it’ll calm down soon ☺️
I think that the busyness at Universal is largely people not going to Disney due to the recent price hikes, charging for Genie+ which used to be free, and the awkwardness of having to make park reservations. People are flocking to Universal because they're operating "as normal". The travel agents over at The DIS have noticed this since last year - a lot more people are booking for Universal now, and there has been a big swing away from Disney!
Absolutely loving this vlog series! How did you find the bus journeys from saratoga to the disney parks? Thinking of booking there but seen a lot of things saying it's very far away. What I cant find is what far away really means. Could be a 15 min bus ride (which i wouldnt mind at all) or 40+ mins for all I can tell!
It feels like it’s about 15-20mins to most places. Because Saratoga has several different bus stops it feels like a long time because you have to go round to all of them before you get going anywhere 😄
Love the energy at Universal Studios. A lot of people are choosing Universal over Disney here and the crowds have definitely reflecting that. I would love to see more Universal content.
I’m new to your channel so I was wondering when was this vlog filmed? It’s interesting to hear your thoughts on the crowds and weather but it wasn’t clear what time of the year it is ☺️ thanks for the additional info!
Pff... don’t even worry about silly comments! I went to Universal and Disney in January and Universal was a total nightmare as far as crowds go ! Ate at Mel’s , rode the Express and that was about it 😂 Oh well, there’s always next 👍🏿
Safety is a concern when filming rides at Universal but the main reason they don't allow filming is because they don't own most of the intellectual property in their parks the same way Disney does.
We've always hit the park rides really hard, but what I've learned watching your vlogs is we are missing a whole different side of the parks. We have a trip planned in October and we are going to try slowing down and enjoying the deatils. Thank you for these really fun vlogs.
Thank you, so glad you’re enjoying them 😊

Yes please, more Universal. I loved watching you taking everything in, I felt like I was there with you 🥳🥳🥰🥰
Hey Victoria 🤗 As someone who can’t do rides I actually love seeing these types of vlogs. It’s great to see all the shops and to just get a feel for the area so thank you ☺️ xxx
Yes do more Universal vlogs, Islands of Adventures, food too and merch. Like your vlogs very much.

I’d love to see more Universal vlogs! I enjoyed this one just for a change of scenery ☺️💜

Great vlog! That toad in the hole plate looked hilarious 🤣 Imagine being served that in England hahaha! Oh America 😅
I know! 🙈 so glad it tasted better than it looked 😂

Cranachan is a Scottish dessert… Cra- neh- kin. It’s like oats, whiskey cream, honey and berries. It’s lovely. Always love watching your vlogs 😊
Another great vlog , next time we go we just want to walk around and make sure we see everything 😁👍🇦🇺🙋♀️
Fabulous vlog Victoria and I’m glad you managed to come out with some beads 😂😂
Just recently discovered your channel - love your videos. You’re good vibes!
Thanks Maddie 😊

Awesome Disney Video! Keep it up!! 💯💯👍😁

Have a great time 😊
Loved your walk around universal and tips . Great great vlog . Much love ❤️ cxx
Thank you 😊
Cranachan is a delicious Scottish pudding with toasted oatmeal, raspberries, cream and whisky. Often eaten as dessert on Burns Night.
Love the flogs can only be our Victoria ❤️👍
Thank you for all your vlogs, I would love to see more universal exploration , hotels and all . Thank you

I definitely want to visit the Universal Resorts on a upcoming trip. I’ll be staying at one of them later in the year 👍🏻

OMG! Bow and mask ❤️
You should go to Disneyland! I’d love you see your reaction to riding Mr. Toad again!!
Definitely, I can’t wait to go to Disneyland! 🐸😀
I always enjoy your Universal visits. Hope you are having a lovely weekend!
Thank you, you too 😊
Please do more universal parks!! It’s one of my favourites ❤️
Highlight of my Saturday, cuppa of Yorkshire tea in hand too, perfect x
Me too!☕ X
I’m having one too! 😀
The strict British voice reminds me of Dolores Umbridge! Do you think they did that on purpose? 😂
I love your videos, Victoria!
Thank you 😊
Love this great vlog Victoria 🥳 x
Thank you Michelle 😊
Love your vlogs! It always throws me off when someone from the UK uses American English names for things.
Love ❤️ your outfit 💙

Toad in a hole for us is a peice of toast with a cut out hole 🕳 and egg in the middle 😁🇦🇺🙋♀️ I'd be happy with a kids meal that's huge
Yeah it was a really good size. I think I probably enjoyed it more than the strange toad in the hole 🙈😂
you should have got a free water from Starbucks , great vlog !

Last time we went to toothsome’s we saw John travolta!
Next time, do guest services on city walk by the bathrooms and pizza place (near starbucks). You’ll hardly wait.
Thanks for the tip 👍🏻
Absolutely loving this vlog series!

It was 9th February this year 😊
Thanks! Haha I’m hoping to go that time of year as well so I’m excited to hear I’ll have a chance it won’t been so hot! 😅
Ravenclaw that’s my house
What does butter beer taste like? Is it buttery beer? 🍺😂
It tastes a bit like melted caramel ice cream.
@@DisneyinDetail noway! Is it alcoholic?
😍😍😍
Is this the last vlog of your trip
No, there’s one more to come 😊
I’m confused. I thought the next video was Epcot?
💯💯💯💯😁
It was supposed to be but some of the footage was corrupted so I had to leave that day out 🙁
@@DisneyinDetail thanks for the response! I only noticed because I was binge watching vlogs to catch up.
9:10 jesus they proper put the effort into the presentation there huh...(!)
