 Hey friends and happy holidays tonight. I am hanging out at Universal Studios I am so excited the parking is open till 10 o'clock. It is the day after Christmas So we decided I wanted to come out and try to take advantage of all the holiday festivities before they're gone So let's go do this I'm excited to actually hang out here. The temperatures have dropped so Drastically we went from 50s or 60s and 50s down to the 30s. So tonight it's gonna get very cold That also explains my dramatic appearance change. I just want to try to stay as warm as possible So I've got this nice little Halloween Horror Nights hoodie that I've been waiting to wear and I didn't want to wear my Fidora because I don't like the way Fidora's look with hoodies, but I'm feeling comfortable. I'm feeling warm and cozy It has been about a good month and a half every single Saturday Universal Studios has hit capacity Today is Saturday, but the day after Christmas and it hasn't hit capacity yet Still seems a little bit busy, but not anywhere near what we've been seeing every other Saturday As you've seen Despicable Me is about 45 minutes and actually Shrek is at a two-hour wait But that's because they can only seat so many people in the theater at a time And some of the other wait times are just gonna look overall very long But I tell you what when it gets time for night and the temperature drops real low I bet you things are gonna be a walk on it. I guarantee it actually So we're not gonna hop in any lines right now. You're looking at transformers It looks like it's about a little bit an hour and 20 minute wait from this point instead We're gonna get some you're gonna get some food. I'm a little hungry. I Actually wish I brought a pair of gloves today because my hands are actually Very cold some people were smarter than me like Jackie super enthused. Look at you It looks like you're going for a trip to Central Park and now I met up with Jackie We're gonna go get some the need. How do you have finnigans police Navida? This is definitely one of my favorite restaurants at Universal I never get tired of finnigans It's always got something. I haven't tried We're gonna get some live entertainment to looks like they put up some plexiglass So that they can give out more drinks on that side as well. This is one of my favorite places to actually sit and dine Merry Christmas We are definitely gearing up for a very cold night at Universal Why is it that I just get super excited when it's cold out honestly? I love feeling warm but cold at the same time like I like that feeling then being hot so much more In fact the Disney world was this temperature all year round. I probably would love it I know that's like an unpopular opinion, but it's just how I feel I love being cold and I love being bundled up, but not sweating to death. I don't like that at all Starting off the night with a harp and then Jackie got a nice glass of Chardonnay Also, she's getting the beef stew and I am gonna get the beef tenderloin because I seen that it was served with Brussels sprouts and I've been really really craving Brussels sprouts. I love Brussels sprouts. Yeah, they're amazing One of the best things about finnigans is the soda bread that comes with every meal and The knife that holds the soda bread. Look at this Very fancy, right? Yeah, oh Holy moly what did I get myself into because this looks amazing Jackie's beef stew came and I feel like that is the perfect cold night meal right there a nice little stew Yeah, all you need is a fireplace And then the beef tenderloin came out and I am so impressed like I said I was really in the hankering for Brussels sprouts and carrots, but also the onion and potato web on top basically it's fried onions and Fried potatoes kind of mixed together and then the actual filet. It's not a big chunk of filet It's little tiny tips, but I bet it's gonna be amazing. I think I'm gonna try a piece of the filet first Yes Look at this It's cooked perfectly a little bit of filet on the day after Christmas We're both absolutely loving our meals It's like the perfect like cold chilly day meals here Like I love the filet and I love the like the beef tenderloin itself, but that's do like Jackie It's like steaming piping hot. Oh, I was hoping it would be Looks like the live entertainment came back on and it's great that they play some Christmas music or some Irish Christmas music What just plain Irish music is just amazing as well. So we'll take whatever we get And I think I'm gonna call it guys. That was my favorite meal at Universal Studios. I've ever had hands down I absolutely loved it everything. I loved every single thing about it And I think for desserts because it's a cold night a little hot and tasty hot cocoa with rumblemen sounds amazing I'm so excited to try this This is so amazing and I think he's gonna sing some Bing Crosby in a second. It gets me excited. I love Bing Crosby Oh, never mind. We're doing a little Christmas in Kalani I Think we're gonna need to move along even though I can sit in finnigans for probably hours I absolutely love it in there. I love the atmosphere. I love the music, but we got rides to ride I want to go on E.T. And Plus it's getting dark out and all the Christmas lights are turning on even though Christmas was officially over yesterday I just love seeing everything all merry and bright It is simply just put the most wonderful time of the year and I absolutely love it no matter where I'm at If I'm in Pennsylvania, if I'm in Florida, I could be anywhere in the world Christmas time is still the best time Now I think it's time we actually head over to E.T. And luckily we have our express pass with our preferred annual pass because it looks like it's a 45 minute wait I am so happy for this right now Because 45 minutes to ride E.T. I think it's well worth it, but we're gonna jump a big portion of that Oh, it smells amazing in here. I love it Dory it you say how much you love the smell right it hits you as soon as you get in here It was so wonderful to ride E.T. It's one of my favorite rides of all time. I absolutely love it It's a cult. It's an opening day attraction Unbelievable, but we're gonna move along a little bit and I want to show you some of the cool Christmas decorations that Kings Cross because it's Unbelievably magical over there You can actually get a really good view from it right here in Springfield. Look at that. Isn't it beautiful? I absolutely love it. There are two rides actually here for the Simpsons One of them actually meets a little motion sickness and the other one's called the twirl in hurl so we're actually gonna ride the twirl in hurl and shockingly that's not the one that actually gets you motion sickness and Plus I'm a big fan of King and we're gonna be able to see all of King Cross lit up As we actually go up a little bit and spin round and round. You can see this is what we're about to do Kind of like Dumbo or some magic carpets I Have not rolled this ride probably in a good two years tonight seems like a great night to actually take it for a spin You are captives and you waited in a long pouring line Oh boy You must help us attack Springfield I'm actually sliding away We're descending we're descending we're descending No, no, no, we're going down It was so much fun riding the twirl and hurl I definitely haven't done that in a long time and it's amazing all the views that you get of the whole entire park Anyhoo, I think we're gonna move on maybe go to Dagon Alley I wouldn't mind a hot butter beer or a dragon scale. I just like actually just hanging out in Dagon Alley actually Look at this. Isn't it so beautiful? We're gonna actually head on in there But another thing that I want to point out that I never really point out are the Christmas trees because they have one two three four Five of them all on the different balconies here and like I said, I'm not a big fan of just the plain white colored lights I like multi-color, but this literally does just all blend in together perfectly Jackie's trying to prepare. I'm trying to prepare Oh He's sleeping Now it's time to go in now. Here's a really tough question Everyone wants to go in through the brick wall, but have you ever went in through there? I have like it I mean, it's nice, but it's not as cool as this though. I Feel like we're gonna do things on our own here. Yeah, let's see. Is this a better grand reveal? But I like actually Weasley's Because I'm in Dagon Alley and we have the dragon up there and we're gonna definitely wait to get that fire shot I will get myself a dragon scale I absolutely love the beer and Harry Potter and I can't wait to actually enjoy one during the holidays here because It'll be my first Harry Potter themed beer since they actually switched over I missed it. I Missed it. Can you believe it gonna get the camera on in time? Oh, no Ten minutes, I'll wait right here. Thank you Merry Christmas Here is the menu they have of course the butter beer the frozen butter beer the fishy green ale the gilly water And then for the different types of brews We have the wizard brew the dragon scale and then also the fire whiskey get the actual tap handle It's a big dragon I'm gonna take my dragon scale and drink it next to my little scaly friend here That we've been successfully able to have our dragon scale and also catch the dragon breathing fire I think we're gonna move along and maybe go on a high-speed car chase Maybe a little fast and furious Maybe I don't even know if it's open actually because they've been closing it recently But it is the weekend so it should be open This is what I was talking about fast and the furious Looks like we have a couple TM's photo bomb in here You guys seem like the life of the party over here Thank you That's the way party to the left to the left We've never actually been able to come out this side This is like a different area Yeah, look at that. This is so awesome Wait, I'm so confused to where we're even at right now Like we're going in that like a alleyway. I've always went in that way No, that gets locked Because of certain licensing agreement we can't actually film on the ride now We can maybe do a little POV facing us But we can't show any of the rides for fast and the furious, but ride itself is really not that great Oh boy. Are you ready to party? I'm so ready to party That ride absolutely gets you all partied up and ready to go though. Yeah, doesn't it? Now that we're done with fast and the furious I want to point out that when we started the night It was 50 degrees now it has dropped down to 41 degrees It's eight o'clock. So I really think by 10 o'clock will be in the 30s. That's insane, right? 33 30th degree weather in Florida. I'm happy. I'm loving it Now we're gonna take a pit stop and to lose maybe grab ourselves an Italian beer I'm happy to come hang on here. I love the way it looks and they have it all decorated for the season. I Was fortunate enough to eat at a lot of these places actually Just a couple days ago I feel like during the Orlando informer because it was all you can eat and drink Throughout the whole entire Universal Studios in Ireland's adventures So I was able to eat at a lot of places that I've never eaten before this being lose I've never actually had their spaghetti and meatballs and their meatballs were actually pretty good Like I didn't think that they were gonna be Amazing, but they were like actually pretty decent and I would have never experienced that along with a whole bunch of other Restaurants, so if you do want to check out that video just look it up. It was it was actually a great night I think I've eaten the most amount of food, but today we're just here to get some good old moretti's They have some decent pizza in here too, but a whole tray is like thirty five dollars You know that seems a little steep especially if you used to buy in the five dollar little Caesar pizza a Nice good break at lose was a fantastic idea now I think we're gonna head to transformers. Hopefully we'll get on and off and time enough that we can watch the cinematic Spectacular, I don't know why and we were actually thinking about going to the exact designated spot to watch it I've never watched it from the exact spot usually I've watched it from the side or from like just an area as I was passing by So tonight would make a good night to do that, but look how beautiful it is out here right now Oh, I'm having so much fun right now. I love seeing all these Christmas lights in here in the music Do you remember earlier when I said we won't be waiting any lines anytime soon? I think it was almost an hour and 20 minutes to get on transformers right now It's a five minute wait and we have expressed so I don't think it matters Let's go get that all spark You're out of line I Just got done just in time that we can like head on over to catch this minute spectacular because it starts at 945 It's 930. It's a lucky us So now we're heading right to Central Park to get like the actual preferred viewing area I'm very excited Yeah, thank you Fun that I'm actually gonna watch this for the first time here when we first came in we actually ran it in But they said it's a splash zone Thank you Just look at how everybody is bundled up. We got blankets. We got hoodies. We got jackets Scarves gloves. This is a once a year kind of thing. You will not see people bundled up like this again until next year Probably now on a cold night. We did not want to be sitting down there. I wonder if those people know You're gonna get wet And now as our day comes to an end We gather to relive these incredible moments in our cinematic celebration Watching the show to just go over the central park usually I catch it as I'm walking about the park But seeing it as it's like supposed to be the way that they layer it it was actually a really good show But I think that's gonna do it for me tonight. I had so much fun just hanging out here It got so cold out the crowds just dismembered like they're all gone. I noticed on the way in Transformers was at almost an hour and 20 minutes wait and then by the end of the night just to walk on like nothing So I hope you enjoyed the video. I enjoyed making it. We'll see you next time
