 Hey friends today. I am hanging out at Universal Studios Orlando. It's the first day They lifted the mask mandate for fully vaccinated guests So if you are fully vaccinated, you don't need to wear your mask indoors or outdoors So that means inside the stores on the rides in the queues and it's gonna feel amazing. I am so excited So let's go do this It is also Memorial Day weekend and it's gonna be very busy But here's our first look at some signage and accordions with CDC guidance face coverings are optional for fully vaccinated guests For those who have not been vaccinated face covering shall be worn while indoors Like most places out there. They're not actually asking you to show proof that you are fully vaccinated It's all on the honor system So it's up to you to do the right thing and I think that's important to note so if you do come here you don't need to bring in your card or anything like that and Yeah, I don't know. We're just gonna have a fun day and enjoy the park I do feel a little bit weird because I did not bring a mask with me today So I constantly have this feeling like I forgot something and I haven't walked into a store without wearing a mask yet So like even when I'm not in a theme park, I still wear my mask when I walk in the store So I think I'm gonna do my first walk through a store without a mask. I Know that sounds like a little bit weird, but I haven't done it yet So now I'm walking into the store and I forgot my mask before like in the past and usually at this point Someone's yelling at me to put it on and I'm like, but now I'm just walking right through so very fancy. I Didn't just come in here just to walk through a store without a mask I do want to find myself a new Harry Potter shirt I feel like there isn't many universal merchandise that I get to wear at the parks I did recently just get a robe with my name embroidered on it and my house and that's amazing Universal actually gave it to me and they do that now and I think it's a front of the legacy store and I love it I wish I can wear that but it being in the 90s the high 90s. That's probably gonna have to wait till probably winter Maybe at the end of the video Because it's at home. I'm gonna try it on for you guys and show you I really really do love it though I got very excited. So thank you universal for actually giving that to me and inviting me out for a Creator day. This was a couple of weeks ago before I went to Pennsylvania and yeah, maybe I'll show you a little bit later. I Plan on getting something to eat at a restaurant later on But what I'm most excited for is not having to wear a mask on the rides and also why will you wait in line? So that's gonna be amazing. Look at the whole go I'm gonna go over and take a look at the wait times and it's gonna be a very busy day. So be be prepared. Oh Boy, rain of Kong 80 minutes. Holy moly the Seuss trolley train is a 35 minute wait and Oh, wow a lot of well Dully do right 75 the Hulk is a 60 and Hagrid's is a hundred minute wait That is a long time. I Do see the Velosa coaster is running So maybe we'll go over there and check it out, but they don't put a wait time on that board yet I don't think because it's not officially open the officially opening day is the 10th So they don't update the wait times Another thing I want to point out are the TMS are still wearing their mask and just because the guests aren't Required they are still required to wear their mask and even some guests are still wearing their mask It's all about your own personal choice if you feel comfortable then take off the mask if you don't then wear the mask It's all up to you Unless you're not vaccinated in that case. They ask you to wear your mask or if you're a team member They ask you to wear your mask. So I don't know maybe a TMS can show that they are fully vaccinated Maybe I'll ask somebody but it's a good question. I Think I'm gonna actually go for a spin on the Seuss trolley train This is like the people mover of Universal Studios. I love it. It's a very nice relaxing ride And here I am Waiting in line without a mask climb in some steps This is really nice Oh, I feel good. I feel like I'm not hot and sweaty or what was I calling it swampy mask ish swampy mask ish You sound like a circus organ the trolley train can Or the whistling breeze of a flying trapeze Oh Look at this man, I love it. I'm so happy right now Really feels like the world is normal again Look at that view out there. Oh the velocity coaster is going All the trolley train is going boy boy boy boy boy boy boy To the moon out. Is that a hidden Mickey? Oh Such a great way to start off the day with the grand circle tour around Seuss landing I love that ride. It really is so amazing I like how you go indoors and outdoors and a fun fact if you are on the right side or the left side There's two different tracks. So there's two different rides. You there's like two different ways You can ride that ride that are completely different We're gonna leave Seuss landing now bye-bye and we're gonna head on over into Hogsmeade and then actually right straight to velocity coaster I want to see what the weight is like and if they have a single rider line option. I Just did a video. I would say Maybe two or three weeks ago here and we came and I rode the single rider line for velocity coaster the quota wait time for standby was 80 minutes and the Single rider line took me 40 so almost half and I would do that again. I mean save half. Oh, yeah Oh, we rolled up and we got a little bit of a character performance happening here. Look at that I've never seen that over here First time I've seen this here in Adventureland Well, they're dancing they're really getting into it and there's a little doggy It is so crazy busy here today. Holy moly This looks like it's starting to be the line for Hagrid's Oh, yeah, I don't think we're gonna be riding that today 100 minute wait holy moly Hogsmeade is the place to be I guess. Oh boy. This is gonna be a struggle getting through here Alright Maybe we'll sit to the left. Oh wait. No, there's people laying down there. All right We're gonna go to the right Gonna go to the right Bob and we Bob and we that's the plan. Oh, yeah, stand behind the stroller That's the way The only thing I think is longer than Hagrid's is the line to get butter beer. Look at that. Holy moly Wow, no way does it go this far down that's impossible. Yeah, right there it ends and now the line for the restroom starts This is very expected because like I said, it's Memorial Day weekend No reservations or fire to get into Universal Disney is all like locked up So like anyone that's a local is probably coming to this park, especially being the first day without the mask But we are just in time for the frog fire Jurassic Park Well, here we go, let's check it out see if it's up and running for single riders or what the standby wait time is Waiting in long lines isn't so bad when you don't have to wear the mask So I don't mind if it is a you know, semi-decent wait I don't want to wait 80 minutes or 100 minutes though because that just takes up the whole day Oh boy Single rider line is open. I'm not too sure what the standby wait time is though. I can't read it from here It says 45 minutes. Holy moly that is amazing 45 minutes standby wait and single rider line is open. I think we're going for it. Oh, yeah, we're all in on this I Cannot wait to see what it's like to ride this ride without wearing a mask I'm sure it's going to be so much fun. I just like having like the air hit my face You know what I mean? That's like the full part the nice breeze and just like feeling like We can't actually take the camera any further So we're gonna have to put you away in the locker and then I'll let you know how the ride was when I get done I hope you guys enjoyed the footage from the Velosa coaster That footage was supplied by Universal Studios and filmed by them And I just wanted to put it in there so you guys can see what the ride is actually like it is so thrilling I'm happy we rode when we did look at this Now the line is coming outside the building Wow We really got lucky. I only waited probably I would say 15 maybe 20 minutes and look at this This is the line still continuously just going Now we're just continuing a full lap around Ireland's of adventure I need to get something to eat though So I'm trying to brainstorm a good spot and I think I have one in mind. I Think I have time for one more ride And I was thinking about doing maybe Jurassic Park But I don't want to get soaking wet and you will get soaking wet if you ride that ride In fact, I'll show you exactly why you're gonna get soaking wet. We'll go right over here And that is why you're gonna get soaking wet. Oh boy. I Almost got soaking wet. I was real close. You see the line Dry wet very close. The line is pretty. Yeah, I mean you can see it like This is where you don't want to be So instead, I think we're gonna go on Skull Island Rain of Kong only because the last time I got to ride this they didn't take me outside And I want to go on the outside. I think that's like one of the coolest features of this ride It's like you actually like start the ride, but then it takes you back outside and then inside It's also just a very scary ride. I mean it is Kong Hands down one of the most themed cues in any theme park In fact, they actually when it first opened had scare actors in here that are scaring people I think since then they took that away, but can you imagine getting scared while you waited in line for a scary ride? See in this building though is so amazing. Oh, I feel so good Here comes our ride vehicle at the moment and our driver Oh, we just looked at me. We do fill them in now. We got a full vehicle here Such an amazing ride, I love the animatronics in there I love Kong and I love the baths in the beginning Usually I can't get a good shot of the baths, but today was pretty successful They look so creepy when they open up their wings. I like it. It's fun I'm also very excited for the Orlando informer in just a couple of days and I'm gonna be able to ride the flyers again These are so awesome, but you need a child to ride them So whenever I come here, it's not like I have any, you know kids Or I don't have many friends with kids actually that live in the area But during the Orlando informer you're allowed to ride them without kids So it's the only time I get to ride it and I loved it. It's so fun Also, I like to stop here and actually get a big whiff of the water. It smells so amazing Here comes an empty car right here Now I think I'm gonna continue on my way out to violence of adventure and we're gonna go get something Maybe at the toots and chocolate factory. I haven't eaten there in such a long time and I was like, you know what? I think today is a good day to get some nice chocolatey food. Oh, but there's some Marvel characters out Look at this you can get your picture taken with Captain America and Cyclops That is pretty phenomenal Normally I don't come out to the parks on the weekends And I think this is the most I've seen any characters out about meeting and taking socially distant selfies before Like I never see any here and I've seen quite a few today So I don't know if that's just a weekend thing or maybe I just don't pay attention. No I would have definitely noticed Captain America before And here we are coming up on the toots some chocolate emporium and savory feast kitchen You guys said I haven't eaten here in a long time. In fact, I don't remember what I ate here last time It wasn't anything outstanding, but I might have just gotten a burger So maybe I'll be a little bit more adventurous with the menu this time and really give it a shot in order Maybe the best of the best whatever they got. I Love the steampunk theming of this restaurant though. Like I think that's probably what I most remember about it the Decorating in the theming stirred out the most and the milkshakes, but I don't think I'm gonna get a milkshake I can't do milkshakes on hot days. I feel like it kind of makes me a little upset or my stomach upset more else They only have outdoor seating at the moment, but beggars can't be choosers. So I'm all about it I'm lucky. I even got in this place on Memorial Day weekend without a reservation. So I expect very good things Here is a look at the milkshakes. Like I said these I remember very well because they're gigantic and they have like brownies and cupcakes on top And they're expensive. They're $15 a piece, but too much sweets right now I don't think I can handle it, but I would love that key lime pie Sour cream ice cream sweet condensed milk lime juice and lime sugar That sounds amazing Once I get all situated with my order and stuff I think I'll take you on the inside give you a tour of the inside because it is very beautiful in there And also show you all the cool desserts because they do wear like a walk-up area where you can just come get like snacks They have fudge and ice cream and I think you know how to get the milkshakes too. So I'll show you that a little bit later Here is a look at the menu. They do have brunch and they have crepes But what I might be interested in is this brisket and wild mushroom meatloaf Roasted corn crispy fried onions Yukon gold mashed potatoes. That sounds amazing And then also up top they have fried zucchini that I was thinking about trying as an appetizer Oh, yeah fried zucchini. I Just placed my order. So now I can dodge in here real quick and give you a tour I didn't end up getting the meatloaf and the zucchini. So I knew I was gonna definitely end up enjoying something here Like I said, I think last time I got the burger and it was okay, but it was nothing that stirred out So now we're gonna see what that meatloaf does, but look how fancy it is in here It is like Willy Wonka ish and they have a lot of cool desserts and pastries Now this is something I could get into. Oh, yeah. Oh pistachios. A whole different section of macarons Oh, I don't like that Maybe I might get myself a pistachio Macarono or maybe a couple of them for dessert. Here are some of the display milkshakes. They have look at that Very fancy and this is the interior of the restaurant. Like I said, very steampunk-ish and It's very nice in here. This is like the thing that stood out the most to me the last time I was here It's actually two stories and I think the upstairs is a little bit more prettier than the downstairs It has a really cool bar area that overlooks all of city walk and just take a look at the seating in here It's very nice. Everything all is perfectly themed And now I'm back at the table and I asked about Rocket Penelope and they do come around so we're gonna see some characters So this is really cool. They just are basically just free roaming. So there's not a big schedule or anything like that But I hope we get to see them Also awaiting me when I got back to my table is the fried zucchini and look at these bad boys. I Think I'm gonna love them I love zucchini and these are like perfect that can smell them. They smell so amazing. Why don't I just take two out? I'm excited for these. I think they're gonna be crispy and definitely a little hot Very delicious and very crispy you can actually hear a snap a little bit Look at that snap into a zucchini The zucchini fries were amazing. I would definitely get those again. I ate them very quick I thought there was more in there than there was so I reached in to get like another one And I was like a little sad that they were all gone So just so you know they only come with like five or six and it's not that expensive of an appetite I think it's like seven dollars. I think it's totally worth and very delicious But take a look at this the meatloaf has arrived and it looks Amazing we've got the fried onions the corn the mashed potatoes the meatloaf and then the bolognese sauce now There are mushrooms inside the meatloaf and you can't get it without it because it's baked inside But my waitress told me that they're big enough that you can pick around them I don't mind mushrooms, so I'll eat them anyway, but this looks amazing. This looks so good. Doesn't it? I know a lot of people don't like their food touching I mean, I don't know if it's a lot of people or if there's a small amount of people I like my food kind of all mixed together. I like getting Multiple like flavors out of one bite So like when you get your food you like it like separated like do you like it not running into each other or do you like it all together? I know it's a good question. Let me know in the comments where you think but if you guys ever see me eat steak I like to put mashed potatoes on the steak and I put a corn on the steak, so this is right up my alley I'm gonna just cut right down in it here. Look at that Get a little bit of the mashed potatoes the corns on there. Oh, this is this is gonna be great High expectations here That is so good and you can see the mushroom right here. See I'll take one out for you. Wow, I love it. So amazing The meatloaf is a very big meal. That's delicious I was gonna go with the short rib, but my witcher said the meatloaf is I think better for the value I think the short rib was $30. This is only 17 bucks $17 you get two gigantic portions of meatloaf mashed potatoes crispy onions and corn, so I might be a little full Might be a little bit full. I Definitely am gonna finish though. I am not a person that would leave meatloaf behind And with that I think I am done here I have to say I will remember the food at the Chocolate Emporium. I don't know why I keep on messing up the name though. They're too some chocolate Emporium I will remember the food now because the meatloaf was actually something to remember and I enjoyed the day here in the park It was great to be walking around without a mask on even going in there When I first got up to like go tour inside the restaurant. I was like, where's my mask? I had a look for my mask and then I realized I didn't even have it So I feel like I'm gonna be doing that quite often for a while until I get the use to just like kind of freely walking Around and then in between parks because you might get mixed up because here in Disney and they still want masks But Universal don't want mask and Hershey Park. They didn't even care the first day They were like we don't need masks. So like, you know, it's all up in the air But I'm gonna go with the flow of things. So like I said, I hope you enjoyed the video I enjoyed making it. We'll see you next time. Bye Your wizard Harry
