Took the family to Universal this past week. I was blown away but the number of rides and all the characters you could meet. I hadn’t been there in 10 years and it has changed so much. We all agreed it was our favorite park, with Islands being number 2 (we did a Seaworld, Disney world, Epcot and Legoland).
I did the Mardi Gras float. Is ABSOLUTELY WORTH IT. They give you a dinner voucher for each person before the float. A pep rally happens before as well, getting you hyped up. After which, they will split you into groups for each float, show you how to throw beads, and explain how each float was made. A real experience!
Just watching your Universal videos, AJ, has gotten me excited for my next Orlando trip. This will be the ultimate trip of all for me. The one that I've always had planned. Disney World and Universal trip! Bring it on!
@@cyber_xiii3786One park per day at Disney, and with Universal, I can easily get away with both parks in one day with the express pass, probably. I've got 14 days while I'm there anyway
@@cyber_xiii3786I'll be doing one park per day at Disney and I should be able to get away with both parks in one day at Universal with the express pass. Doesn't matter because I've got 14 days to do it all anyway

Perfect timing with this video AJ! Our trip to FL in Sept. is 6 parks in 6 days! We start in Busch Gardens & end with Epcot...Universal & Islands are 2 and 3! So excited to tackle this over stimulating trip!
I am happily in house Hufflepuff! And I can't wait to get more universal content from you. Would love to hear reviews of the universal restaurants and more about Seuss landing
We actually have a full food video out on the channel that AJ and I made after our BIG Universal Orlando trip we took at the beginning of this year! You should check it out when you get the chance! ruclips.net/video/Da7UcE9Af3Y/видео.htmlsi=0LQz9uPid4t6nR3y
Hufflepuff here! 🦡💛🖤 We went to Universal Studios Orlando back in Oct 2017 and we had a great time!! We did the whole vacation package with a room at the Saphhire Falls resort, tickets to the theme park itself, refillable mugs, etc. It was also really nice that the resort had a boat that would take guests to the park from the resort and vice versa. I’d love to go back once Nintendo Land is up and running ❤️🍄👑
Proud Ravenclaw here! I went to Universal for my 30th birthday in 2016, and it was awesome! Hope to make it back during my Disney trip in 2027! Maybe talk about what there is to eat and where to find it all.
We actually have a video all about Universal food that we did earlier this year! Here, I’ll link it for ya! ruclips.net/video/Da7UcE9Af3Y/видео.htmlsi=khTNfIGuPAs6jDgX
Universal is great, but it feels like a theme park. You don't get immersed in it (except for the Harry Potter sections) like you do at Disney. Love both sets of parks, but they feel so different. And that's a good thing.....
Question from a fellow Slytherin: When my daughter (a Ravenclaw through and through) was chosen by a wand in a wand ceremony at Universal Studios Hollywood, we were told her interactive wand would work not only in Hollywood but also in Orlando and Tokyo! Do you know if the same is true for the interactive wands sold in Orlando?
We love Cowfish and Toothsome 's. I've heard Bigfire is pretty good too. Nothing inside the parks blew my mind, but I enjoy the fish and chips at the Leaky Cauldron...
Hufflepuff. We’re hoping to go to Universal in 2026 as we have only done two days there before. Also when looking at prices, it’s so much cheaper than Disney.

Dang, going to both parks in one trip? How many days are you spending in each?

Have you ever thought about doing “Orlando informer “sometime?
The Universal content is our favorite
Such a helpful video! Thanks!!
I'm a Ravenclaw!!! I'm going to Universal for Christmas. I haven't been since 2019 and miss butterbeer. The hot is the best!

Oh, Busch Gardens is a ton of fun, too! Iron Gwazi is one of my top 5 FAVORITE roller coasters!
Wow.. If AJ jumped ship to Universal. That says a lot about the state of Disney. And I'm ok with it.
Thanks like the videos that got multiple stuff good for first time visitors. Universal is great
The Berlin Wall easter egg is my favorite thing to show people!
The Horror makeup show is a long forgotten gem!

The hog's head mounted on the wall at the Hogs Head at Islands of Adventure will move and snort. It's fun to watch for it....

Hello, all you Hufflepuffs! 👋

Do you know if the same is true for the interactive wands sold in Orlando?
Yes indeed! They use the same technology so the wands work in all universal parks.
