I Go To Universal Orlando Every Week & These Are The BEST Things In Islands Of Adventure

Күн бұрын

I'm lucky enough to go to Universal Orlando for my job every single week -- usually multiple times. Because of this, I have my all-time favorites -- and least favorites in the theme parks. And today I'm sharing them all with you!
Come with me (Molly!) to Islands of Adventure, as I reveal the best rides, eats, and entertainment, from Jurassic Park to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. But there's a twist -- I can only pick one thing for each land, which makes for some very tricky decisions.

Toon Lagoon should definitely be rethemed to Bikini Bottom, keeps with the cartoon theme and water. The fact that Spongebob only gets a tiny store in Studios is BS! Also, wouldn't it be great if the patio at Mythos was converted to a bar, there are rarely people eating out there and the views are stellar.

@jalapeno1119 Жыл бұрын

They could do so much with SpongeBob. Goo Lagoon, Krusty Krab, Jellyfish Fields, Chum Bucket, Mrs Puff's driving school...

I had the great fortune of running into Molly during the filming of this video and even spotted my family momentarily in the footage. How cool! She's as awesome in person as she is on KZfaq and I love experiencing the parks through these videos when I can't be there in person. Thank you again for what you do! 😊

Can you do some UNIVERSAL for 1st timers videos?? I haven't been there since 2001, before we got married & had kids, so I'm really not well versed in Universal as I am in Disney. Love your videos and thank you so much for all that you, Alan and Max do!

I agree! I'm over disney's nickle and diming customers while taking away all he stuff that made it great to go, now it's just a job.

IOA is entirely based on BOOKS and not Movies so knowing that makes it ALL make sense, Molly. But You HAVE TO know that. Haha! That's why boats instead of jeeps for Jurassic Park and on and on... It balances the thorough movie theming at Universal Studios Florida across the way very VERY well. Thanks for all the awesome coverage!

So many shared favs! I live about a thousand miles from Universal Orlando, but I'm lucky enough to visit every couple months, so I've developed pretty strong opinions on what I think the "best" things in each land might be. Although the more often I go, the more I grow to love the quiet little secluded spots where I can be alone, enjoy a beautiful view, and soak in the theming.

When I was deployed to the "Sandbox" and we were close enough to an assembly area we would get a hot breakfast delivered in a mermite container to keep the eggs warm, the mermites were lined with aluminum which would turn the eggs green by the time we got them, usually around noon! Didn't mind the color, the eggs were good, especially if you have been eating MRE's for a week!

I went to both parks last weekend had a blast. It was brought up in conversation, over and over again, that the park could use an update it in a few areas. Toon lagoon and Marvel island being the main ones. They are building a third park, which I'm excited for but I feel they could focus more on what they have and give it some updates. I also wish that Diagon alley had a few more attractions. I want to spend more time in that world. I feel they could expand it into universal.

At 26 mins, talking about how wet you get riding the popeye raft ride, I'm dying! LMAO! I went on that with my family during spring break in high school, so it was that weird time of the year where it doesn't get super hot in florida, so I legit could. NOT. dry. After riding we went and had lunch and over an hour later my pants were still completely soaked, when we got around to jurassic park and found a gift shop with clothes, my mom bought me a new pair of bright pink shorts just so I could sit down not in a puddle. I still have them to this day. LOL!
