 Hey friends today, we were hanging out at Universal Studios Orlando I wanted to come out and try some of the Dr. Seuss and Grinchling food items that they actually have going for Grinchmas And then also explore all of the holiday festivities that they're offering this year I feel like I haven't really dove into a lot of the holidays here at Universal Studios So I felt like today would be the perfect day any hoos. Let's go do this We're gonna start off our day here at Islands of Adventure Because we're gonna want to try some of the amazing food items they have over in Seuss Landing Some of these I've been wanting to try for a while and some of them are new I believe that I think I've never seen before We're also gonna ride some rides and try to catch the Grinchmas who holiday spectacular And then hop over to Universal Studios side to see if we can watch the Macy parade actually at 5.30 Seriously, it's one of the best themed areas over here for the holidays I love everything and how it all has like garlands and it's super pretty at night One of my favorite things is interacting with the hoos and also the Grinch So hopefully we're gonna be able to catch some of them as we explore around Seuss Landing And if we've just stumbled upon some of the hoos a hoovell Toss! It looks like the next show time for the who holidays spectacular is at 3.45 So I think we're gonna get something to eat first and then we're gonna get some snacks And then meet the Grinch and then watch the who holiday celebration And I feel like that's a fun little plan One of the things that I've been really wanting to try is here at the Circus McGurkis Cafe Because they have a roast beef sandwich with a little sandwich on top of it And I seen it and I was like I need to get this It needs to happen I noticed this sandwich the last time I was in here for the Orlando in former meetup And I was like I need to come back and try it because it looks so cool And I love just beating in here it's so festive Look at how amazing it is in here And the Seuss Charlie train actually comes in right here and goes all the way around So maybe we'll end up doing that and kind of just have a fun Dr. Seuss themed day Just for the holiday season they have a roast beef sandwich Well it's a french onion soup dipped roast beef Meatloaf, secret sauce, cheddar cheese sauce With a mini meatloaf sandwich on top of it And I was like okay this seems like it was made just for me Okay I got the sandwich and I am super excited It is a meatloaf roast beef sandwich with a tiny meatloaf sandwich on top Like I can't get over it I can't even process how amazing that sounds Just take a look at that isn't that so nifty We've got the little tiny meatloaf sandwich on top The pretzel roll Then we've got some caramelized onion Some roast beef And some meatloaf at the bottom there They do serve it with a cheese sauce but I got the cheese sauce on the side And a secret sauce and I'm just so excited to dive into this I don't know if I should eat the whole sandwich with the little sandwich Or if I should eat the little sandwich first It's so pretty I don't want to destroy it But I'm going to take the pick out And then we're going to take the little tiny meatloaf sandwich And we're going to try the meatloaf sandwich first Here we go That's good Okay Now For the roast beef itself And look at that It is cooked so good like a french onion dipped roast beef sandwich Alright So we're diving in here Here we go The best way to describe the little meatloaf sandwich is kind of like a Meatloaf grilled cheese Because it's like just a little tiny grilled bread with meatloaf and cheese on there And it's actually really good But the roast beef sandwich Is one of the best food items I've ever had at Universal Studios Orlando I can wholeheartedly say that if this was on the menu Year round I probably would get it quite frequent Because it is that good Lots of roast beef and the meatloaf is the bottom layer right there So so good I'll take a look at that There goes the sous-tralie train coming through the restaurant I love it That is so cool It's one of my all time favorite rides Hi friends Look at that This is such a fun little ride It's like the universal people mover Hi I also love the fact that It served on a pretzel roll Like so many amazing ingredients to this sandwich Everything that I love I love pretzel rolls I love roast beef I love onions I love meatloaf And putting it all together in like a double decker sandwich It really did It is really that good Now that the meatloaf and roast beef sandwich business is taking care of I think it's time we go meet the Grinch Not this Grinch right here But the one that's actually gonna probably make fun of us The Grinch has a very long line for people to actually go meet them And honestly I think it's worth it I would probably wait a good solid 45 to 60 minutes to meet the Grinch Because it's so entertaining and so memorable The best thing is As you're waiting in line to meet the Grinch You have all of your favorite Dr. Seuss characters out here And they kind of put on a little show Got the cat in the hat You got thing one, thing two The Lorax and Sam What can I help you with today huh? I just want to say hi You keep all the way to say hi Yeah, literally I came purposely here today to come see you What a let down It's only about midday Now everything's gonna go downhill huh? Yeah probably You're the highlight of the day Oh great, on the highlight Thanks Veronica for bringing him Yeah So how can I make this situation go away huh? I guess just a photo Just a photo? Yeah So if I give you a photo you'll go away Yes Really? Yeah You promise? Shake on it Shake on it Alright, wait here Where's he going? I think that was a good choice Here's your photo Thank you Thank you, thank you, I appreciate it This is the greatest thing ever Oh alright, I'm gonna get a photo I don't think it's the right way And you just have to get up Let's get this done Alright, let's do it Let's do it, okay selfie photo Yup, alright Okay, the Grinch is everything Hands down the best meet and greet ever He is so interactive and so amazing I love it so much I was in there, I'm actually hating over Veronica And Veronica, he actually had her like open the door And scream at all of the other performers outside To be quiet I wish I caught that on film But I was actually shooting for her like camera And it was hysterical And then he came over And he tried to give me a picture to go away And I thought honestly, it's just so amazing They're the best Now it's time we actually head on over to the Grinchmas Who holiday spectacular It's 3.45 and they say to be about a half an hour early So we're about 30 minutes early And we'll see if we get good seats for this I'm excited I've actually never done this before This is gonna be the first time First timer here It's also really nifty to be back here At what used to be Nickelodeon studios And you can still smell the slime running through the sewers I am very excited to actually do the Grinchmas Who holiday spectacular Because we just got done with Grinch And it was such a memorable meeting Like I'm gonna remember that forever And now we're gonna actually enjoy a little like show With the Grinch I'm loving the music already though Ooh Look at how pretty it is in here And we're going to number two A friend of mine told me to sit to the far right So we can get a good look at Max So we actually got really good seats And like I said we got here just about 30 minutes 30 minutes before the show started And it's actually really, really awesome Spectacular In the hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there The Grinch hated Christmas It could be that his head It could be perhaps that his shoes were too tight But I think the most likely reason of all May have been that his heart was too sized, too small Nextly, the Grinch staring down from his cave With a sour, grinching round At the warm-lighted windows below in their tower Where he knew that every hoot down at Whoville McGee Was busy now, hanging a mistletoe And the handyman stocking his snarl with a sneer Chuggled and clucked Oh, what a great Grinchy trick With his coat and his hat That'll look just like St. Nick Wait a minute, I'm speaking in rhymes Yeah, my heart can't handle it There you go Your destiny forced me Some to stop it Your heart is full of unguards My soul is tied to your clothes Let's move, sneak, ha ha Stacking down with a Merry Christmas, Trini Awkward How could it be so? They came without ribbons They came without tags They came without packages Boxes or bags Any puzzle That was seriously such a good show I really love the production value in that Absolutely amazing that Grinch was fantastic But the star of the show was definitely Max Max was the star of the show And I think everybody can agree on that Now it's time I think we get ourselves A Grinch hot chocolate bomb And also some Grinch sugar cookies I'm just really all about the Grinch today And I can't wait to do the hot chocolate bomb I've really never done one before And this one looks super cool This seems like it's going to be so fun And I'm excited to try the Grinch cookies too They do actually have like an ice cream sandwich But I think that's just a little too much And I think you get three cookies And you can get the hot chocolate bomb on its own But I don't know why you would get The hot cocoa bomb on a cart Like why would you just get that? The tag goes in the hot chocolate Here is the hot chocolate That looks so creamy and delicious Holy moly And I guess we're just going to drop the bomb in there I'm going to see what I mean I'm just going to put it in Here we go Uh oh It's not doing much I think I needed to like get Oh wait Uh oh Look at it sinking down in there This is really interesting I think I did something wrong Well I think that's about it It does look cool But I'm not sure if I was supposed to push it down I feel like this is going to be super chocolatey Inside the Grinch hot cocoa bomb Was a bunch of marshmallows And I like how it turned the hot chocolate a little bit green But now we're going to try it Wow That is very chocolatey hot chocolate It's very delicious though Oh I do like it I think I like hot butter beer a little bit better though To be honest I mean this is really good though It's a great hot chocolate But Can't beat hot butter beer But you can't judge hot cocoa Without actually having a cookie to eat it with So We're going to try the Grinch sugar cookie here Oh they're very soft Look at this This would go right here The cookies are amazing Honestly The cookies are better than the hot chocolate I feel like So soft So delicious Wow The question is though Is how's the combo together That's what we need to know Take a little bite of a cookie Little hum Now that we've got the Grinch business out of the way I think it's time to head on over To Hogsmeade I want to maybe get ourselves a beer And take a ride on Hagrid's motorbike adventure I mean that would be fun I mean when you're here at Universal Studios Or Isles of Adventure I always kind of try to want to squeeze in one ride Before we actually get into Hogsmeade I want to stop at the All Howl's Holiday Boutique This is a perfect combination Of Halloween and Christmas I mean other than Nightmare Before Christmas Or you can kind of say it's like a Perfect Halloween who holiday Like mish mash up and I love it I'm pretty sure this actually started out Just as a Halloween Boutique But then they added all of the fancy Christmas lights And trees in here And it is just so beautiful Look at this It is so nifty in here I love all the decorations I kind of wish this was my bedroom In the far back of the store They have a nice little photo opportunity With a little fireplace and mantel And then some Christmas trees And some trick-or-treaters So like there's a lot happening here And I really love everything I think we just saw a Mickey right there baby But this is really really awesome I like it a lot I'm so happy we actually ended up Going in there because that was so beautiful But we need to move along And head into Hogsmeade And maybe we'll ride Hagrid's like I said Depending on the week time though Let's see how long it is If you've ever visited Universal Studios For the holidays What section of the park do you like The most for the holiday season Like I love Hogsmeade because of the snow But this is mostly always here They just add the lights to it And it kind of just makes it really pretty Over here And they also have over on Universal Side for Dog and Alley But I mean which one is your favorite Do you like Dog and Alley Or do you like Hogsmeade But first we need to stop at Hogsmeade And grab ourselves a drink I love coming here It's so much fun And it's my favorite place to get a beer I'm not too sure where I'm going to get this time though Because sometimes I like to mix it up a little bit Oh there it goes I decided on grabbing a Deathly Hollows Which is my favorite drink here And it's a strongbow at the bottom Hogsmeade and Guinness on top It used to be a little bit layered Like a lot better Except for I think they changed the Strongbow So it doesn't actually separate Like three times It kind of just looks like twice But it's still very delicious I ran into a friend Sidney and it's her birthday So happy birthday Sidney And cheers Cheers Cheers Coming out the back of Hogshead You actually get to come back here And just watch the Velocicoster Actually take off And I'm loving how the sun is starting to set And you can see people actually Just hanging on for their life I'm going to try to zoom in and catch it I honestly love that ride And being up there right now during a sunset Would be amazing But I think we're going to go ride Hagrid's And now it is officially dark Outside The ride ended up actually going down And it was a very long time Wait in there But now it's officially dark out And I think we missed the Macy Parade We're not going to be able to make it Over the universal side So instead we'll see if there is Any holiday offerings over here I do know they do a castle Like projection shell for the holidays I'd like to see that if we could It looks like the castle Projection show is at 6.20 So we're going to have Just about 10 minutes standing here Isn't it so weird that it's getting dark out At like 5.30 and 6 o'clock I feel so awkward sometimes Because I don't know what time of the day it is So we're going to wait for the next show But look at how beautiful it is here I love it I love all the lights too It's absolutely amazing Ooh There's a star in the sky there And a spotlight Castle projection show was really really awesome It's kind of strange though They started closing the park at 7 o'clock And I just remember the park's being Open much later So the park is officially closed But we're going to walk out through Seuss Landing So I can show you all of like Seuss Landing all lit up and pretty Like I was talking about before With all the Christmas decorations And just make a slow exit out of the park Look at how beautiful it is Over here all lit up This is what I was talking about And they're actually doing fireworks over there For the cinematic spectacular It's kind of pretty to see that as well But I love it I love being here right now It's actually really really awesome And the fireworks are really going to town Cats Hats And things Cats hats and things in Christmas lights Ooh I also like the Christmas music They play in here too But this is what I was talking about Honestly it's so pretty But I think Like I said it's the end of the night now I mean I had a lot of fun coming out The holidays I wish I had a little bit more time So next time maybe I'll come earlier You know what I mean Like knowing the fact that the park closes at 7 o'clock I should have looked first But sometimes you kind of just go to the park Especially when you're like living close You just kind of like Oh I'm just going to go to the park So you never really checked the time So that's my mistake But anyways I hope you enjoyed the video I enjoyed making it We'll see you next time Bye As we're making our way out Of Universal Studios Or Islands of Adventure Look at the nice little snowflake stage That got in the middle here Nightly City Walk Promethon Dining, dancing, cocktails Snowflakes
