This is by far the best guide for newbies to Universal I have ever seen. I have never been there, but have been doing some planning for a possible future trip. I watched alot of videos and none of them were as good as this. Thank you!

You need to go!! Everything is right there on International Drive. If you ever go to Volcano bay..they have a relaxing space you can go to relax plus a couple sit in places to eat. Cabana Bay is right there next to the volcano, with its own separate entrance to the Volcano Bay. We did this. I warn you don't do the water slide roller coaster.. lol. Too many drops for me...big drops too. You have to rode the hulk once. It's intimidating but fun once yiur on. Hagrid was fun too. It looked slow but man! What a ride.

My best tips for Universal Orlando: *(SIDE NOTE: This is pretty expensive but worth it!)* Purchase a room at one of the Universal Orlando resorts. (I recommend cabana bay for those who can afford it). Purchasing a room owned by Universal property will allow you to get early access to the parks at least an hour earlier than others who do not stay at one of their hotels. If you’re going to a new ride, make sure to purchase a ticket and a room as soon as possible! Last, make sure to eat and go to the bathroom before entering the park, because the queue for the rides can get massive very quickly. I hope this helped. Let me know if you have questions!

I did this last year and yes, it's worth it. I stayed at Cabana Bay. PS: parents - if your kids are worried about whether they can swim in winter season, all of Universal's hotels have HEATED swimming pools. Just remember to grab a towel from the onsite racks before they jump out of the pool. Orlando gets pretty windy in the winter.

@@LentilSoupChilean Trip Advisor is just salty because the previous park was closed. I'm tired of the fake reviews by fans of Wet 'n' Wild. Travel sites need to stop accepting reviews of the park after a certain date, specifically when Volcano Bay opened because I see a lot of reviews posted around that date and they offer NOTHING informative. The "review" is the same: "I hate Volcano Bay. Wet 'n' wild so much better, blah blah blah." NONE of the reviews specified what they were upset about or even reviewed any of the attractions. It was just hate disguised as a "review."

Really thorough and entertaining, as always! This has always been one of my favorite places to visit, and we’ve been there probably ten times since our first visit in 1991 (as Southern Californians, we haven’t been able to make it out to the Florida parks as often as we might have liked these last three decades, but, then again, we also have their Californian counterparts, so we get the best of both worlds, I guess). Thanks again, my friend, for this! This brought a big smile when I saw it listed on my KZfaq feed.

The velocicoaster has literally become my favorite coaster ever. The had it open early before it’s grand opening while I was there and I got to ride it 2 different times on different days we were there. Something interesting is there is no express line. Only general and a single riders line. Unfortunately because of this you’ll find parties of 10 in the single rider line, which as an avid user of the single rider line because I am the only one in my family that rides coasters, I am less than thrilled at that. It is a very thrilling experience however, the wait goes by pretty fast and the videos and stuff in the wait line are actually kind of entertaining, but short so they get kind of repetitive as they repeat over and over. As someone who had never been to a water park before, Volcano Bay was amazing!

So happy to see you're back. I literally just thought of this channel yesterday (I have an upcoming trip to Universal) and realized you probably couldn't travel to the US right now due to covid. I am doing exactly what you mentioned in this vid - I have one day at Hard Rock that includes a weekend day for my Express Pass, and then the rest of the week at Dockside. Both will be first time stays for me (I will likely never stay at Hard Rock again - I've never paid that much for a room in my life and I'm normally very cheap when it comes to hotels). Anyway, glad you are back. Great vid! Even as a regular to Universal it was enjoyable to see all the areas and raise the hype-level for the upcoming trip (with full adherence to CDC guidelines, fully vaccinated, and testing before and after trip, of course).

This was so helpful! Planning a cousins’ trip for next January. It has to be an extended weekend trip in order for everyone to go so we definitely want to get the express passes to skip the weekend crowds. Not sure if we should stay in at endless summer and get 2- 2bdr suites and buy the express passes separately or stay in a preferred hotel with express passes included. There are 12 of us so the prices for rooms are adding up quickly we usually have to buy 2 or 3 rooms. Any advice is appreciated!

Hmmm, I suspect that it will come out considerably cheaper to book a value resort and separate express passes, but I’d try quotes for both and see whether or not there’s much difference. If they’re close in price, I’d go with preferred. Hope you have a great trip!

Cabana Bay offers rooms big enough to sleep up 6 people. When walking in, there is a living room with sliding partition. This offers privacy for the people using the hideaway bed in the couch. The main bedroom has two beds and a dresser that has drawers facing both directions so the people sleeping in the living room can use it. Very clever use of space, especially the bathrooms. They are actually in three parts: the sink is in the middle. There is a separate door on the left to the toilet. the right goes to a SECOND mini bathroom with sink, toilet and shower. This layout is best for large groups as one can use the sink to brush her teeth while the other uses the shower and a third uses the toilet. Also, it has a mini fridge, coffee maker and small kitchen. A bus trip to Universal takes less than 5 minutes and then, after clearing security, it's a 3-4 minute stroll through CItyWalk.

This really helped understand USO a lot. I am planning a long Disney trip and have always wanted to go to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Was able to make a day in my itinerary to go, but have no context of the park whatsoever. Really made it easy to understand.

So, when did you go? Was it just Universal or Islands of Adventure? One thing that might throw a wrench in future trips: Epic Universe is already under construction. It is the BIGGEST theme park expansion in Florida in the last 10 years and will include a THIRD Harry Potter park although nobody knows what world of the HP films it will be from.

Love the Universal Orlando Resort KZfaq review! I have a question and comment for you: Are backpacks allowed now within the three parks? If not, what do you suggest to effectively bring in some items (SPF lotion, hat, H2O, etc.)? Also, I suggest purchasing a lanyard holder for your ticket and a waterproof mobile phone holder for the pics you know you are going to take.

@TheFrugalBrit 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Robert, thanks for that 😁 Yeah backpacks allowed but only medium sized backpacks will fit in the free lockers that you need to use for the fast rides. The larger lockers cost a couple dollars. If you can fit your stuff in a three pronged fanny pack, I’d recommend those 👍 instead of a backpack to avoid lockers. Thanks for the kind words and the tip 😁👍

Lucky. Universal does have seasonal passes for frequent visitors. Also, if you arrive late in the afternoon, you don't have to pay for parking to get into City Walk. I forgot the time cutoff. Best to ask employees at any of the restaurants and shops there.
