PRO TIPS for Universal Orlando Resort | Universal Studios | Islands of Adventure

I love these videos. Guy does a great job explaining stuff.

Child swap? If you're fed up of your child swap it for a new one 😂

I went to Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure just over a week ago.
For the latest single rider times, would roughly save only 10-20 mins on Hagrids Bike. But would save half the time on Velocicoaster if timed right in the afternoon. Comfortably the best 2 rides on both parks. With Hagrids arguably being the best in the whole of Orlando (including Disney Parks).

As a full grown adult not in the front during the wand choosing, I assumed a child in front would be picked, and was terrified to find myself chosen lol!

Wtf is the ick?

Hi there - big hi from New Zealand. We watched your videos prior to our trip in July and we found your videos so extremely helpful and it made our trip a memorable one! We got everything we wanted to get done, done and in record time. Highly recommend!

I did not realize how much Universal hotel prices have gone up recently. Was looking at prices last year and it was much cheaper than Disney. Now, the prices are getting closer to Disney, making it a harder choice between the two.

does the park has free wifi or we have to use mobile data?

Going to universal in august this videos are so helpful but the croc slander 😭😭 I love crocs they are stunning 😩😩

My family and I are going in January. We have 3 days. I see there is a current 2park 2 day +3day special going on for $275.99/adult. Is this a deal I should buy, or wait for a better deal near January? Thanks

We managed to get a night at Royal Pacific for £275 this August, keep an eye out for deals I think we booked this around Black Friday, saved more than £200 on the room and includes express passes for both days 👍

Recent fan of your videos and trying to catch up on a lot of material :) great work!
Want to chime in and say that I have to disagree with your tip about staying offsite. At universal in particular I think one of the biggest attractions for me is the ease of transport to and from the hotels to city walk. While I think the price hike is tough to swallow - perhaps mention the pass holder discount (if you haven’t already). As a pass holder I can get really reasonable rates at Cabana Bay and wouldn’t miss the garden walk experience or water taxi for the world. Not to mention how easy it is to go through their security checkpoint which is never busy in my personal experience. Regardless I love your content and it almost makes me feel like I’m in the parks. Well done! Maybe do some videos for passholders and whether it’s worth the additional cost to buy?

Excellent video ! we did almost all rides in 3 days without express pass , Thanks to all the tips

So they have express now for velo but still not hagrids? Me and my gf are gonna stay at one of the top hotels to get the passes.

Are u better getting a two day pass for that park are can u do it in one day

Florida resident here live like 3 hours from orlando, 5 or 6 years ago I stayed at hardrock hotel for couple hundred bucks a night on weekends included express passes etc. it saved a lot of money, now the prices seemed to gone up exponentially since the n. I’m planning on going next weekend but I’m just going to wake up super early in the morning drive there and back next day to save on hotels….

Got any updates?

Anybody just order Uber eats while on resort? How’d that work? Was it worth it?

Some fab tips x thanks so much for sharing- we enjoyed watching ❤️

Great tips. Mine is for Fast and Furious - just stand in the queue which has some quite entertaining stuff from "Team members" and then don't bother with the ride, which is poor

Loved your video. Concise and straight to the point. Learned some new tips that don't mention in other videos. Hopefully will help me a lot in my vacations next week

Hey Frugal Brit - I love the videos! I’m heading to Florida in September with my partner for the first time and will be staying at Vista Cay in a 2 bedroom condo, do you have any reviews of this place? I can’t find any online and always love to have a good look before I go anywhere.
Thanks for the videos

We invested in On Cloud Monster shoes for our last trip. Expensive, but ended up being worth every penny. We will never wear anything else. Very minimal leg or foot fatigue during our trip. We are the type to open & close the parks, so plenty of walking. A+

Hi mate - I'm booking Cabana bay for November, via British Airways (cheapest price) .. Do I need to allow extra funds for room tax or resort tax etc? Just didn't want a surprise bill at the end of the holiday.

The Single Rider tip is 100% correct. I wouldn't do it again for Velocicoaster. When I did it 2 months ago, the wait time was 60 minutes which didnt seem too bad. The ride had 3 different short delays. I noticed people who got in the normal line about 10 minutes after me was on and off the ride about 10 minutes before I got on it. The ride is incredible but next time, if I dont have a Express Pass for it, I'll just go into the normal line instead.

My tip...Don't go to the USA until they lift the ridiculous rule that you must have been vaccinated against Covid to enter the USA from the UK.

Can you do a tip video - who to tip etc

Love your videos man great job

Great video!! I will be using sneakers though! Ha ha ha! 🇦🇷

That Uber/Lyft to Hard Rock is such a good tip!

Monumental movie land hotel is the best deal in the area and it’s walking distance from the parks

Thank you so much for all your Video's.
Currently plainning a family trip to the US in June.
I've been able to show the kids and hubby your videos to help us decide on hotels , tickets and rides.

Interesting point on the crocs, my 9 year old had been banging on about them and was wondering if she would bring them along, so thanks for that bit in your video.
Love the coffee and food tips., plus the line up tips.

Your not wrong on prices, yikes they are crazy and the Aussie Dollar is horriable at the moment :(

I have been telling my friends about your videos and recommed them.

It sucks that islands of adventure is closing forever

Great tips ,thanks million,we are going in September staying at Cabana Bay, are there resort fees there ??

Another great Video as usual! Were heading out in Aug and can't wait, def be using some of these and your other tips!!!

This is so helpful!! We’ve been before but missed out on taking advantage of Universal. Can you put where you got your collapsible cups?

So thorough. Absolutely brilliant mate. This will be invaluable to people 👏👏👏

I'm visiting for the 1st time May 6th for 2 weeks. How are the queues usually then ? X

HI Frugal Brit, I want to come here next year around end of April/Start of may for around 4 days, when is the best time to book the hotels and tickets?

Excellent video and production values as always. We're closing in on 100 days to go!

Great video! thanks for the tips!

We’ve bought 3 pairs of croc sandals. Never thought I’d buy a pair in my life but comfort is the most important thing for us. We’ve also bought a ton of universal and Disney themed jibbitz croc charms so will be fun customising them each day.

Always love your videos. So informative and helpful when planning. We will be staying at Cabana Bay for 8 days next week and will use these tips in the parks for sure! Thank you!

Hi. I have loved watching your videos recently as I get ready for my first trip in Sep.
If anyone can help with a question please. With the lockers if you only have mobile tickets.. are you able to take your phone with you on the ride to unlock this after? and if not what do you do in this situation.
Thanks

If staying off site, how much is an Uber/Lyft ride to the parks? Disney/Universal.

These are gonna be so helpful when my family goes early June! We’ve decided to stay at Lowe’s Royal Pacific for a night for that unlimited express pass and the early park admission. Would you say that despite everyone flocking to it first thing, Hagrid’s will at least usually take less than thirty minutes/an hour if we do it during early admission?

I think your review videos are one of the best will you be doing any orlando vlogging vids on jay jack?,enjoyed the last one
