I tell people about this and they still think it must be a scam lol. I have been to maybe 5 or 6 now and between the savings and perks it is so much more worth it than a normal trip! It's been almost two years since I last went and I'm itching for another so bad. But might as well wait till next year when Epic opens and then just make it a four day extravaganza between the meet up and that since I have to come so far on a budget.😭 The first time I ever went to Universal Orlando was in January of 2020 because your videos taught me about those parks and inspired me to drag my sister there. We even got to meet you randomly. It's your fault I got hooked on it 💸😅. These meetups are my happy place.💛
The Meetups are amazing. We were there this weekend too. We walked past you while you were filming the live stream Sat. I definitely was not saying hello as we had gone on Popeyes 5 times in a row before that. Lol. Love the videos though. :-)
I'll talk to Taylor about that! I feel like you should be allowed in when you get your wristband and ticket. If you pick that up at 3 you should be allowed in at 3
Hagrid at night is THE BEST Funny story about Ollivander's wand show: couple years ago, my son was about 8 and we were in the show. He's not a typical boy, he gets EMBARRASSED about flatulence... well, in the quietest part of the show he accidently "makes music" 😂 everyone laughed, except the professional Mr Ollivander lol.. even better, I immortalized it on video 😂😂😂
I think we were right behind you most of the night! We saw people exiting when we got to Hagrids (from the Hogwarts Express), but we decided to get on line anyway, and it started moving after maybe 5-10 minutes! We saw the first light show shortly after getting on line, so that was around 9:00, and we got off in the middle of the second light show at 9:45.
My husband and I won’t go to Universal any other way now! Trying to get my bestie to come with me this year since she’s never been to Universal and loves HP 🤣
I’m hoping to do the meet up during my trip in December. My trip is from December 11-14. Looks to be a bunch of fun. Free food and low crowds. Fingers crossed 🤞
Do it! It is the only way to do the Universal parks, especially during the holiday season! Most rides are walk-ons. Hagrids is the exception as you saw Ricks video. Free food galore! Come hungry! 😂 I just did my second Orlando Informer Meetup last Nov and will be doing my third this December! I cannot recommend this event enough! You won’t be disappointed.

You get into the park at 5 pm. Great video! We were walking out of Thunder Falls as you were recording, sorry we missed you guys!

@@RixFlixagreed! I think it would be nice to get into the park as soon as you get your tix!
I really like that OI offers pre-MeetUp food now👍🏼

You were staying right opposite us on the 8th floor and we had no idea 😂😂
It was so nice meeting you both! Me and my sister will be back in December! 😁🎢🦖🪄

Last meetup we went to was in Dec 2021. 😢 I need to go again!
I need to visit during one of those meetups, looks fun. Parents always told me nothing is free 😂
Thanks for sharing. Can’t wait to do our first Orlando, informer meet up.
So fun! We are super excited to do our first meet up this November! 🎉
Are all of the shops and shows open during the whole time of the event?
What time did you get in line for the tickets and how long were you in line for?
Ollivander’s wand show is definitely a must do!!
Hi Rick. You guys are great! We are going to a meetup too. We’re staying at The Aventura. Do the buses run for the meetup? Or should we drive there?
Yes
We can not find the discount code for August Meetup...can you please post it??

We won't be to a meetup until November. Can't wait
I’ll be there in November also! Will be my first one. Cannot wait!
I'll be there in Nov also!! 2nd one.
@@dbomb011 we've been to many. It's a great time. Hope you enjoy it
Can't wait to get back in December for the OI meetups. SapphireFalls looks like a nice hotel.
We are staying there soon
Loved that you hit the Ollivander experience briefly. Would love to see that in a live stream!
The butterbeer float was genius!
From your experience. When will they announce for December? Trying to plan out my vacation? Thanks.
Maybe contact Orlando Informer? They might tell you.
The handsome devil was spotted in the hotel room!
Hey! Do you know anything about the annual pass situation for Epic Universe?
There's no information about that yet.
Great Video
Can't get into the parks until 5, not 3.
I'll talk to Taylor about that!
So the food at thunder falls was free?
Yes! That’s the best restaurant imo.
