Express is fast, low wait time but…when you are in the regular line, you see how much effort Universal put into making their park so damn cool!!
Exactly! Either way it’s a win win unless the ride breaks down ahha
So true. I'm not even a HP fan, but the queue for Gringots is immaculate.
I think it's worth standing in the regular line for the harry potter rides. For the rest, express it.
staying at the premier hotels for the family express pass is such a W move!!! great video friends!
Exactly 🏆!! Thank you!!
How do you guys not have more subscribers with the quality of your videos? Boggles my mind. I hope this is a good year for y’all. Just subscribed!
Thank you so much!! We just started our channel about 3 months ago so that could definitely have something to do with it! Hoping for a good year of growth! Thank you for your support 😊
New Orlando/Universal youtuber?? ALREADY SUBSCRIBED 🤩
Thank you David!!! We appreciate the support 🥹🫶🏼🫶🏼
I love how u just went straight to the video!
Time is of the essence 😌
Absolutely love this video guys ! ❤
Thank you!!!
Great coverage about express!! We usually can't fork out to buy unless we are staying at Express. We pay the price for HHN express but just try to work around the waits for a regular park day.
Same here! We go too often to justify the price of express. It does do what it claims though!
Awesome video for people who are trying to decide on purchasing an express pass…my family and i stay on property just to get the free express pass….PEOPLE, ITS WORTH IT! Especially during “busy months”. Anyway great vid❤
Thank you so much!! We definitely don’t know if express pass would be worth it to everyone but we definitely enjoyed them!
Great breakdown of Universal Express
Thank you! Thanks for taking the time to watch!
Great helpful video! Thanks!
Of course!
Very helpful thank you!!!!
You’re welcome!!
Yes, my husband checks flight paths
Can say that they are worth it 100 percent. Had them for one day and rode everything in both parks but Hagrids. Did that the next day. They were $300+ for that day but worth every penny.
Hard rock for 4 nights saves my family of 5 a minimum of 750 a day on the unlimited express. Some heavier days saves you even more. Sometimes unlimited passes are 300 each 1500 a day for family of 5. FREE at the premier hotels. Our rm is 550 a night plus a 35 dollar a night cot.🎉
It’s a great way to save money if you’re really interested in express! We do mention that perk at the end of our video ☺️
They make the estimated wait times more than what they say and on some rides there are a lot of cool stuff to see through the lines I would not want to miss. I went with my Granddaughter without express pass and we rode more than 8 rides and left early during spring break with longer estimated wait times.
We agree the queues are pretty cool and it’s worth waiting in line! Our experiment was only from 1pm to close so if we were riding all day, we probably would’ve gotten double the amount! We don’t think express passes are necessary to have a good time but they do seem to work in the way that they are advertised, just like we said in our final opinion at the end of the video 🤗
Booked my first trip today, staying at the resort, seems like the express pass is going to pay off greatly! Thanks for the video
Of course! So glad you found it helpful!!
Brilliant video very informative ☺️
Thank you! We’re glad it was helpful!
I agree with one of the comments below which is Universal tends to “bloat” the line wait times….if you go during down times the wait is never that bad to warrant spending that extra money…just
my opinion 🥰
Agree! This was our first time with express and we have been passholders for 3 years!
Fantastic vlog why you don't have hundreds with the quality you drop I don't know can't wait to see more
Thank you!!! We just started about 4 months ago! Hope to see those numbers one day! We appreciate your support!!
Really wish your comparison was with 2 couples alternating express vs regular line with both couples entering at the same time. Everyone knows posted times are not correct.
We like riding together though 🤔
@@ThemeTeam I get that, and riding single would put you in a different line altogether anyway. But having the direct comparison of couple vs couple for timing through would be really helpful, and more accurate. I have watched a lot of videos in the last month.. have not seen that direct comparison, something to think about 🙂
You could give @rixflix a try! We have seen him do this before with his wife ☺️
Great job!
Thank you!
Velocicoaster at night look so cool!!!
It’s SO cool! Honestly all the outdoor rides are kind of a different experience at night
Good video! going in october so trying to win all time i can since i'll be visiting from Belgium
Thank you! October is a great time to visit!!
Thank you for acknowledging this, the wait times posted are incorrect. For Hogwarts Express specifically, it was posted as 20 minutes when we went, but it was actually an hour wait. The fact that you got on in half the time shows the pass is worth it. Hogwarts Express has the longest lines due to the slow loading process, which is why other park goers recommend people to just walk to the other park to save time... well if they don't have express and are not harry potter fans.
For people out of town, Express is totally worth it, but people should stay in a premium hotel to get them.
Side note: Velocicoaster is the best rollercoaster that I've been on.
Yes! Standby is just an estimate! Thanks for watching!
to be honest it depends on the time of year you go so like summer and winter during school breaks absolutely during fall around like horror nights not so much
Really great info and to the point content, really appreciate! One note, it would be better you looking at the camera like you're talking to me... it's weird watching you look to the side of the lens and not right at it. But again great content, i will be subscribing and checking out your other videos! Thank you!!
Haha thank you for the input! We had recently upgraded our equipment! You can see the difference in our Cabana bay video!
I’m not sure I would pay that much for express but I would and do stay at the top tier hotels where it’s free anyway. And I think that’s well worth it even with the higher room rates.
Agreed!
It's a catch 22, when the price is low you don't really need it, but when you really need it, the price is ridiculously high. You have to determine that sweet spot for yourself.
I think express pass is worth it on those busy days. The wait time for Hogwarts express can be crazy. I have hopped right onto the Hogwarts express (within 15 minutes) when the normal wait was 120 minutes.
The hogsmeade station seems to be a much shorter wait than the king cross station in our experience! The express pass didn’t do us much good this trip on that particular ride but maybe there was a delay we weren’t aware of
They are damn expensive but if you want to get on many rides or every ride.
Thank you so much! Such an amazing video, so helpful! I am going there mid May, do you think there would be a lot of people? I am going to for 2 Days. So I;m confused about the Express Pass. We are two people and idk if it would be feasible. I'm coming from India for this so!
If you haven’t already, book at a premier resort or book express waaaay in advance. This will save you lots of money. Premier hotels give you express as a perk for staying with them and you can use it in check in day all day even if your room isn’t ready AND all day even after check out.
Hi! When was the video recorded? Trying to figure out the best time of the years to go to Orlando and all the parks. :)
End of February! That would be a great time to go in our opinion. Anytime between the new year and spring break and between spring break and summer break!
We went 2 wks ago on spring break and are average wait time was 25 minutes without a express pass probably never waited more than 15 minutes
We’re glad you had a good trip!!
Just a Quick Question. If you have an Annual Pass and you stay at a "Premier" Hotel, do you get the Express Pass added during your stay?
Anyone who stays Premier gets Express included in their stay! No matter what ticket you have ☺️
I haven't been to Universal in YEARS, like im 30 and haven't been since 12, lol. Im wondering if it's better for me to chill and experience the ride. You know, like as I wait, just look around the interior and all the things that were put into it. Get what I paid for. Just get there early perhaps and just chill or is it better to just get the pass?
We prefer doing it this way! Express passes are very worth it if you’re in a hurry to do everything but the queues are very well done so it’s nice to be able to slow down and see everything
I stayed at the hard rock club level and got free unlimited express pass. I did the math. Staying at a cheaper hotel and buying that same express pass cost a whole lot more than what I spent for hotel and getting “ free “ express pass.
Exactly!! It works out that way sometimes
How many nights did you stay?
What day of the week did you go? And what time did you arrive to the park?
This was a Sunday and we got to the parks at 1pm. The end of the video gives the details of the time frame, rides ridden, and time saved!
Stay at premier hotels its included
We did! We also mention that at the end ☺️
@@ThemeTeam
Which premier hotel would you recommend the most?
Unfortunately, we have only been to one! Royal pacific. It is the least expensive of the 3 premier resorts. Portifino is said be very nice but I think a lot of folks prefer hard rock!
Am in California I get the unlimited express pass for me it’s worth it 1000%
❤❤
Hi, from the U.k here-could you please let me know what food you purchased on camera & where from? (As in the snack & not the main meal)
Hey! We got some self serve candy from Honeydukes in Hogsmeade!
@ThemeTeam Oh! It looked liked some type of fish, & potatoes? I was interested because I wouldn't be eating meat (except for fish)
@@Zee-mu1zj oh!! We thought you meant the candy! It’s fish and chips from the 3 broom sticks! We will be doing a food video soon and covering the best foods we know of!
Funny when he runs to the "next thing" lol
Thank you 😌 -Nick
Idk why, the wait time for the train always seem to wrong..
It’s always the hogsmeade station!
was it $190 each for the one day? or both of you
They vary in prices per day but for this particular day that was for one person. In the summer they will likely be in the 200-300 range per person.
I am going solo, Would and express pass be worth it?
If you’re going alone we highly recommend taking advantage of the single rider line! It’s typically much shorter than stand by line and you’ll save some cash!
Thank you so much@@ThemeTeam
Are you going on a weekend or weekday? That makes a huge difference, also some rides will have single rider lines so you might not need to get express
I am going next Tuesday@@HumzaBari
I am going next Tuesday@@HumzaBari
dont forget to put carbs into your pump :)
well i guess it looks like an omnipod lmao
Yes! It is. Nick has the dexcom and the omnipod so he has a really good system for the parks!
3:54 he asking the real questions
He needs answers
Wow 200 per person per day to ride 8 rides with the express pass??? So makes me not want to go to Universal. At disney we were doing 20-30 a day at about 150 per person per day with the genie plus. Granted you did not do a full day...
Genie is a good way to make the most of your trip! But that is correct, we did not do the full day as part of this experiment. We think the take away is we waited about half of the estimated wait time for stand by line with the express pass included in our stay at a premier hotel. So for anyone looking for a way to avoid the $200 per day fee, maybe try that way?
I went to Islands of adventure when I was in middle school. Back in those days the express pass was only $20 🥲
Now that sounds like the good ole’ days

Express pass is a half scam. On most rides, it will get you to skip a third, or at best half of the regular line, then you are merged back with it. Obviously you gain some time, but dont expect at all to skip the whole queue. For the price it is a shame and not a good value at all. This is only really useful for two or three really popular rides. For the most popular one, Hagrid's motorbike, it isn't available....
Globally we weren't blown away by Unisersal, it is kind of aging and way overpriced. We enjoyed much more our day at Hollywood studios.
Universal is building what will be the biggest theme park in central Florida to open in 2025. With tons of new refurbs, experiences, attractions to come! Sorry you didn’t enjoy your trip!
@@ThemeTeamI don't doubt this will be great, but at what price? The prices as of today are already are obscene...
FIRST
Always 😂
This video has no comparison on real times you went when the park was empty I just went there and the wait times were 150 minutes plus now that’s a comparison video
Thanks for your input! This video was filmed while we were having a good time trying express pass for the first time. You’re welcome to buy express pass and on a day when wait times are 150 minutes but we certainly wouldn’t be able to put out that kind of cash ha!
