Love how you always seem to find something to enjoy on the rides, even those that others do not care for. I agree if the experience makes you smile, laugh or you connect in any way, go for it!
Hi Jim,Steph and Jimmy.Loved your vlog.Universal is my happy place,heading back there in 10 days time from the UK,can’t wait.I am so excited,even more so now.I always get goosebumps every time I enter Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade.I used to always skip Men in Black but it is one of my favourite rides now.Thank you❤️
You got loads of good rides done. Can’t believe u haven’t see Transformers!!! The first one is so good 😊 Yum that pizza looked delicious 😋 Outlet shopping is our fav, look forward to that vlog xxx
Loved the Universal Vlog .... Reminded me of walking around last year.....we are going to give it at least year before we return ..... wait for more new rides
We can't wait for the new park to open. Its going to be incredible. We're looking forward to trying some new places next year but Universal will always be our #1 ❤️🌎
I just love watching your vlogs! I can't ride any of the rides but makes me tempted to visit Universal Studios Hollywood to wander around. I know it's different than Orlando with Hollywood being smaller, but it's one of the local parks here in Southern CA. Thanks so much for sharing! Have a great weekend! See you again in your next vlog... :) Barbara
We hope to visit Universal Hollywood in the next few years as the tram tours look incredible and we'd love to see the TV/ movie sets. We put another video out yesterday (out of sequenc from HHN - we wouldn't normally do 2 in a weekend but wanted to get it out before Halloween ends 😊
Another great vlog 👍🏻 That pizza looked delicious 😋 I’m always so tempted with all the theme park ‘merch’, especially obsessed with mugs 😂!! Have a great weekend all xxxx
We go in March (Universal and Disney) but mainly because it is a once in a lifetime trip as we live all the way in New Zealand. ~20 hours of travel in total 😢 😂
We do love a wander around Studios. We agree about Jimmy Fallon, it can have one of the best queues to wait in. Still need to try Red Oven, need to check they do a Gluten free version 😋. Well someone has to love The Slow and the Curious (F &F), you guy's go for it 🤣
Hey Steph 🤗 I’m glad you had a nice day at Universal - I think you are the only ones (that I watch) who enjoy the fast and furious ride ☺️ That pizza did look yummy 😋 I hope you have a lovely weekend ♥️ xxx
Great video again. Strange to see you without Jimmy. I must have been there the same time as you. Got to spend 3 extra days there due to the hurricane. Keep them coming 😀
Let's be honest here mate.. Everyone knows that the Kia Nero is way more fun that fast and the furious no matter where you sit. Awesome as always but can't believe you shared that pizza it looked awesome
Hi guys and thank you for sharing another fab vlog with us! That locker situation for Gringots looks a bit stressful 🙈Are the small lockers for the rides free or do any of the rides charge for them? That pizza looked amazing 😋looking forward to the Vineland vlog and seeing what bargains you purchased and what tasty treats Jim purchased 🤣🤣❤xx
Hi Julie. Hope you're well. The small lockers are free or there are bigger ones that you can pay for. It just gets so congested in Gringots. Have a lovely weekend ❤️
Yea we love the Jimmy fallon ride too . We were actually in the very last audience of the Twister attraction back in November 2015 . Fast and furious … one word … bulldozer , what a cringy cheese fest that pre show is 🤢🤢😆. Best thing about that attraction was you queued through it for The blumhouse house in the evening 😁. I like the merch being delivered to your hotel too , stingey Disney don’t do that any more . I think there was a storm called Fiona that we had to fly around on the way down on 23rd September. Unfortunately we were pounded by hurricane Ian later on in the holiday 🌀💨🌪. We even had tornado warnings 😳
I didn't realise that Disney had stopped doing that for resort guests... is there anything they haven't cut away? We always enjoy F&F it is was it is but we genuinely always come off laughing 😂
L Disney have cut so much it’s not worth paying extra to stay on property any more . Extra magic hours are only half an hour and only the expensive hotels are allowed in for the late hours . That bloody app ruined our week at Disney with the help of Ian 😒. Just watching your live . We flew out the day before you and had a week at pop then 10 days at Aventura. Best 2 park days were sea world and Busch gardens , they were so quiet , stress free and no lines and most of all no sodding App telling us what we could do and where we could go . Everyone we talked to have agreed Disney is broken which is such a shame 🥺🧱👍🏽
It is absolutely heartbreaking to see what they are doing there and they won't realise the damage until future generations have zero interest in going as they have no connection to the parks. It's so short sited.
Can i ask please? You are staying at universal property, but you said you were gifted fast pass for 2 days. Is this no longer a perk of staying at universal hotels anyway? Has it stopped now. Thanks x
Hi Patrica. Complimentary Express Passes are only offered as a perk at the three deluxe hotels - Hard Rock, Portofino Bay & Royal Pacific. They are not included at the other hotels including Endless Summer Resort where we stayed. You do still benefit from transport, early park access and delivery of in park shopping to your hotel. Hope this helps 😊
Hi Dena, it's a dark ride with 3D glasses. It is screen based and with physical set pieces too and very cool. It's the same operating system as Spiderman (which we prefer) 🕸
We've never been in it to 'make it' hence the reason that we don't do all the other stuff - merch, patreon, ads for stuff we have no actaul interest in etc. We are genuine Universal fantatics though so this does mean a lot to us. Have a great weekend Steve 👍👍👍
Evening Guys, 107 days for us 4 - i cannot physically wait - been a long time coming but i hope its worth it - just doing Universal - stopping at Endless Summer - tweaked the hotels so we could get more out of the trip as was originally stopping at Cabana bay - do you have any tips for breakfast recommendations on I-drive & have you been to Golden Corral? if so any good?
That is coming round quickly! We don't have any recommendations on I Drive (we're not really breakfast people) but The Today Cafe in Universal is great for a breakfast sandwich and fruit pot. The breakfast pizzas are supposed to be good at Endless summer too although we haven't tried them. We've not done Golden Corral for a good few years - Wizards & Walt did a great vlog from there though and it looked nice. It's worth checking out if you haven't already watched it 👍
actually Transformers is shifting already into a different line. Its going into Beast Wars. so the ride might get changed though it might not, depends.
Hi Ronald! Yes we do get people coming to say hello 👋 We love having a chat all things Florida. This trip is was mostly people asking "where's Jimmy?!" 🙈
Looked a great day and i love jimmy fallon ride too good fun.That pizza looked yummy and some cool merch on show.Have a great week 🙂👍
Its so underated mate. Love it. You too mucker 👍
Love watching you guys ❤️😊xx
Thanks very much Faye ❤️

Absolutely Diana. If it puts a smile on your face it can't be half bad. Have a wonderful weekend & take care ❤️

Have an absolutely amazing time. Our happy place too. Nowhere better 😍
Love the merch this year. We picked up that Halloween mug 🙌. The express can be so handy with the queues. 👏👏👏
There definitely were some great bits this year but then again they always do the business with Merch at Uni 🙌
You got loads of good rides done.
Can’t believe u haven’t see Transformers!!! The first one is so good 😊

We keep threatening to watch it but never do 😂 Thanks for watching G ❤️

Failing to plan is planning to fail and all that 😉 Have a great weekend guys 😊

@@TD3Vlogs I hope you make it! Would love your thoughts about Hollywood! I will watch your other video now! Thanks for the heads up! :)
They always do a great job with the tribute stores - I could spend ages in there looking around
The theming is always superb isn't it. Have a good weekend Mike & Take Care ❤️
Another great vlog 👍🏻

I just wish they would make them dishwasher proof Nicola 😉
Have a fab weekend ❤️

That is one heck of a journey & you have our upmost admiration. I hope you have the time of your lives ❤️
Am currently binge-watching your earlier vlogs, you have been so helpful, Thank you.
Thank you, that's so lovely to hear. Always happy to try and answer any Orlando questions if you have any 😊
@@TD3Vlogs Thank you, and I have many, I'm going to email you if that's ok.
Absolutely 👍👍👍

There doesn't seem to be many of us 😂😂😂 Thanks Lee and you too ❤️
The Allo Benno is a culinary triumph. We absolutely love their pizza’s for breakfast, lunch or dinner 👌
🖤
So, so good 😍
Nice blog guys ❤️ MIB have you asked for behind the scenes tour. Little jimmy would love it 😍
We've never asked for any of the behind the scenes tours yet but they look really cool. I'd love to do MIB & The Velocicoaster one some day 🤞
Great video again. Strange to see you without Jimmy. I must have been there the same time as you. Got to spend 3 extra days there due to the hurricane. Keep them coming 😀
Thanks Mark. We were there from the 24th September for a week. Hope you still managed to have a fantastic time 😎👍👍👍
@@TD3Vlogs I was there 19th to 29th. But yes I still had a great time. Its my happy place even at nearly 60yrs old.
Nowhere better 😍
Let's be honest here mate.. Everyone knows that the Kia Nero is way more fun that fast and the furious no matter where you sit. Awesome as always but can't believe you shared that pizza it looked awesome
Sharing the pizza was all part of the long game mate 😊
@@TD3Vlogs not your first rodeo
Looks like you got the most out of the first two days!
Red oven pizza looked great for you, we always walk past it, but will definitely try it out :P
Its a great option for a cheap lunch. That pizza had only gone up by a single dollar since we last ate there in 2019
That pizza looked awesome
Great value too 🍕🍕🍕
Yeah i know thats why you guys are so genuine and geat to watch. Very natural
Thank you 😊
The delivery to the resort is so good. We did it this week and had our shopping sent to our room.
It's definitely a nice little perk. Hope you are having (had) an amazing trip 👍
@@TD3Vlogs we had a great time. First time for us. Disney and Universal. Landed this morning and then drove back to Nottingham from Gatwick.
Glad you had a good one. That drive up is a bit gruelling after that night flight. Enjoy resting up over the weekend 👍

Pack light! There are only three rides where you need to ditch everything (RRR, Hulk, Velocicoaster) Bum bag/ fanny pack is ok for all the others.
I’m good thank you hope you all are. Enjoy your weekend whatever you’re up to ❤️🎃👻xx

@@TD3Vlogs maybe once the new movie comes
Do you ever get recognized at the parks?
Hi Ronald! Yes we do get people coming to say hello 👋 We love having a chat all things Florida. This trip is was mostly people asking "where's Jimmy?!" 🙈
💖
Did you guys hear that ET has a different smell now? We go in 97 days not that I am counting lol and will let you know
Yes, I read that earlier in the week. Gutted! Hope the new smell is something close. Have a great time and please do let us know 😊👍
I like Jimmy Fallon as well, my Wife refuses to go on F&F and I'm ok with that, the pizza looks good.
😂😂😂 F&F is like those cult movies from the 80's... so bad, they are good !
The tribute store for halloween is supposed to be a old dark ride. it even has the fake bats and animatronics that look meh.
Ah, that makes sense 👍👍👍
