 Hey friends today, we're hanging out at Universal Studios Orlando I wanted to come out and see what's new in the park and then we're gonna ride some rides eat some food Meet some characters and just have a beautiful Universal Studios kind of day. Anyhoo Let's go do this Today is Sunday, March 20th, 2022 And I feel like the park is gonna be extremely busy today because we're still in spring break mode But we'll see once we get in there I think we're gonna start our day off over at Islands of Adventure because I want to go meet Spider-Man and Also ride the Spider-Man ride because I'm wearing my new Roosevelt shirt and it's Spider-Man the meme You ever see the meme Spider-Man with him just pointing at things? Yeah, I love it It's like the whole entire pattern of the shirt and I thought it'd be cool to come out and meet Spider-Man and try To get him the point with me We're gonna be doing a little bit of both parks today a little bit of Islands of Adventure and Universal Studios side And I want to get something to eat and I'm not too sure if I should get something At Hogsmeade like Harry Potter food or if I should sit down and eat at Lumbards over at Universal Studios So we'll decide later on Speaking of Roosevelt shirts I am so happy to announce that we partnered up together You guys know I love these shirts I've been wearing them for years and people always ask where I get my shirts from now I have my own collection page where you can see all the shirts that I've ever worn in my videos and you can buy them and They gave me a promo code for anyone that watches the videos PMM 20 and you receive 20% off your first order and I'll put the link in the description But it's pretty much Roosevelt's comm backslash paging mr. Morrow, and I'm so excited And now the adventure begins we're gonna head straight on over to the Spider-Man ride But first we should actually check the wait times You know what I mean? I feel like you need to check the wait time so we can formulate a good plan Earlier I was talking about meeting some characters I feel like the character meet and greets here at Universal Studios are actually really amazing and they're a little bit underappreciated Like you have Spider-Man meet and greets you have the green goblin beetle juice sometimes you can see Shrek there's a real lot of cool meet and greets, so we're gonna try to see as many as we can Here is a look at some of the wait times the Hogwarts Express is a 10-minute wait Dudley do writes is 60 minutes Hagrid's is 110 minutes Velocicoaster 60 Oh the incredible Hulk 65 Reign of Khan is 90 minutes, so it is a very busy day today in the park But like I said, I got spider meme on my mind, so we're gonna head right on over to Spider-Man first I Love how they have designated areas to actually meet some of the characters here at Universal Studios Before they used to just free roam around the park But now you can actually just go to a certain spot and meet them right here is just marble characters So I'm not too sure who will get I think it rotates It looks like it's the green goblin in here and that's really cool not spider-man though So we need to find spider-man, but I don't mind saying hi to the green goblin The goblin has given me some grinch vibes here some mean vibes Oh boy, I'm about to lose my temper to lose my temper. What did I do wrong? All the spider-man shirts spider-man If I had a green goblin shirt, I would wear that I Would I mean Thank you I do like he's just pointing he's just pointing Yeah, you don't point people Well, you need to set them straight Well, can we take a photo with the spider-man shirt still? Yes, okay, good good. All right Holy moly the green goblin was very intimidating and he actually had a pumpkin in his hand So that was really cool And I wonder I'm gonna ask if other characters actually meet green in here because I'd love to come back in spider-man's hair You know me at least he would approve of the shirt. I Asked the green goblin where I can find spidey and he said he's over here actually so we're gonna go find Spidey real quick looks like he's got a little cue here signed up look it It's actually a meet spider-man here. I love it. This is really really cool I'm sure spider-man is gonna be a little bit more approachable than the green goblin He was fierce though like a kudos to him Thank you, we just we just came from the goblin and kicked us out because of our shirts Yeah He did he did not like he did not like our shirt Yeah Yeah, I can imagine you met them here You do love this or you like the shirts, that's the way you get the point, you know Roosevelt's yeah, Roosevelt's all the way man I love it It was really really awesome and he was so funny because he was me minute with us He started pointing like the one-finger point so it was really cool And then he said he met Venom just a couple minutes ago And if there was a better meet and greet in the park, I would wait hours for that Now it's time to actually head into the amazing adventures of spider-man. It says a 60 minute wait So we're gonna time it sometimes they have a single rider line off like offering But I think it's all full up right now. So 60 minutes it is It took us just about 30 minutes just to get through the outside queue and now we're officially heading in I don't know how much longer it'd be from this point, but I can feel the AC. That's all that matters to me Feel it good That was not that bad at all. It's definitely wasn't 60 minutes just around 30 minutes And we're here got our glasses. We're ready to ride. I Wish I can show you guys the ride But Universal doesn't let you film on the ride if I can find some stock footage that I can use I'll put it in but I can't film on it. So I'll keep the camera down, but it is pretty amazing Now it's time to return these precious little babies Okay, that was amazing I love it You know what I mean? I love spider-man too and now I think we're gonna move along We're gonna keep on going through islands of adventure Probably do a full like loop and then make our way over to Universal Studios side Up next we're gonna make our way through to lagoon and sometimes you can see some characters out here I'm gonna have to keep my eye out. Sometimes they're just hanging out in a corner So you never know you never know who you're gonna see here or ET I'm still trying to decide where I want to eat today Like I said my two options are the three broomsticks here at Hogsmeade and maybe get the great feast Which is a huge serving of food or lumbar is over on Universal side and that's a sit-down restaurant There's not too many sit-down restaurants So that's what kind of intrigued me to do it. I've eaten at both places, but I'm not too sure which one I want to do today I'm so excited for their Orlando informer meet up in June so I can try a lot of the food I've never had before like the Dagwood home of the Dagwood And it's so cool because whenever you go to the Orlando informer all the food is included So that's when you get to experiment. You know what I mean? You can try things that you don't know if you're like or not because it's all included in the price I do have to say when it comes to water rides here at Universal Studios I think they are the best way better than Disney's water rides like inside the parks not being a water park itself like Pluto's barge is amazing and Dudley do rights is also so much fun, but you get wrenched so There is no coming back when you ride some of these rides You're gonna be walking around a soggy bottom boy for the rest of the day And speaking of water rides, let's not forget about probably my favorite water ride Jurassic Park and this one you don't get as wet like as Dudley do rides or Pluto's but it's so fun And I cannot wait I cannot wait to do Jurassic World in Hollywood Just to be able to see the Dominus Rex. I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna be fan girl in the whole entire time I love animatronics any second now She should be taking that big plunge and we're gonna have to run so we don't get soaked. Oh boy. Ah Okay, that was close look you just kind of you have to watch the water so soon as you see dry land You're good. Just stay right about there It's amazing seeing all the kids kind of just hang out in the splash zone I remember doing that at like Hershey Park in Kenobos to like the water rides And I would hang out in like the splash zone on the bridge more than I would actually ride the ride And they're still doing it You know I mean there's so many kids that are just hanging out over there getting soaked by the splash Instead of actually riding the ride and it's kind of cool definitely feel like nostalgic wise Look at that. Like I said, you don't get that wet, but it's pretty bad and it smells amazing I love the smell of the water at theme parks Since we're actually over in the Jurassic Park area, and I don't want to get wet today I think we're gonna ride Velosa coaster. It's one of my favorite roller coasters and since we can't film it I'm gonna have to show you guys some stock footage and some previously recorded footage But this is such an amazing roller coaster Looks like the wait time is 75 minutes So we're gonna see if the single rider line is open and we're gonna be able to maybe cut that time in half or maybe even less Who knows? There are two downsides to using single rider number one is it's not a guarantee So it might be 15 minutes or it could be 75 minutes still in a single rider line and number two You can't request a certain row like I love the front row, but you can't you just go wherever they tell you But still though like it's still nice not to have to wait 75 minutes. So I'm gonna risk it Sadly it looks like the single rider line is closed They said maybe when the Sun goes down So if you do plan on coming out you want to use a single rider try to deal with a little bit later in the evening But it's a 75 minute wait. I don't know. I feel like I walked over here So I think we're in it for the biscuit. We're going for it in it with the biscuit. Look there she goes. I Love it For the biscuit I like my catchphrases, but I think we're gonna go we're gonna go for it. We're gonna go 75 minutes We're here. We'll see how long it takes the downside is is you can't really bring your stuff with you You have to put them in a locker. They do have a small locker at the halfway point So I'm gonna utilize that because you know I mean you don't want to wait in line without your phone I feel like that's like that's that's really hard to do especially in this day and age And it wasn't even 75 minutes. It was probably like 55 60 minutes But I feel so cool off and like just I feel so much better I love that right it really is so thrilling and when you go over the water and you're upside down It's like probably the best feeling on a roller coaster Anyways, now we're gonna move along head into Hogsmeade and try to figure out our dinner plans The busiest part of all the parks is definitely got to be the Harry Potter sections It gets very crowded in these tight corridors, but take a look at that castle Isn't she a bute Clark? Tight corridor spot definitely gonna need to get myself a butter beer after this She's got a bobbin weave bobbin weave in between find a small pot accelerate bobbin weave bobbin weave Now that we made it over here to Hogsmeade I think our decision has been made for us where we're gonna be eating today And it's probably gonna be over on universal side Mainly because I don't want to wait in this gigantic line look at it It is so busy here today Like I said spring break tis the season and plus or earlier I was talking about the Orlando informer This is actually included in the Orlando informer So you can eat here for free if you end up going to that meet up and I'm gonna be going in June So we can come back and try some of the great feast items then at least here when we go to Lumbards We get to try something we couldn't get We might as well just wait until we get on the universal side to get butter beer to since we're going over there And we're gonna probably just hop right over there. We're gonna cut right through Seuss landing and Instead of taking the Hogwarts Express, I think we're gonna walk Taking the Hogwarts Express is definitely a lot funner, but it takes a long time So it is so much faster if you just go out of the park exit and then walk over the universal side I mean unless you want to go on a wonderful train ride. I mean it's still like I said It is really fun, but it is a very long long wait Also, it's gonna be nice to see Poseidon's fury with the walls down because it's been closed for the past two and a half years But it just opened up like last week Look at that so beautiful. Isn't it? It's really an awesome show. It's not a ride It's just a basically a walk-through attraction, but it's really really cool You know, it's a busy day when the Seuss trolley train is a 65 minute wait wow I mean, I love that ride It's kind of like the people mover of Universal Studios, but 65 minutes good golly Fancy What a cruel look at that Hahaha The cartoon Grinch is fun, but nothing will beat the live-action Grinch and you can't convince me otherwise, but the live-action Grinch That's usually here for Grinch miss is hands down the best theme park character meeting great out of any theme park He is the best. I love it so much Now it's time to make our way over to Universal Studios side and the adventure lives on I can't get over how beautiful today is but just hanging out here on city walk walking over to Universal Studios And it is so beautiful out and the temperature isn't that bad I think it's like in the high 80s, but there's a nice wind. So it's not overly humid. This is a really awesome floor today Look at this big old snake here at Universal too. Oh, there he goes He's in the woods now. It's a little black racer. They're good to keep the mice away. That was awesome though And now we made it Universal Studios Florida in Mardi Gras still going on all the way till April 24th And it only took us about five minutes to walk over here. So it's definitely a lot faster than taking the Hogwarts Express. I Made a reservation to actually go eat at Lombards. Like I said, there was not too many sit-down Locations we actually have like tableside service and Lombards is one of them and it's just about that time So we're gonna head straight there Normally anytime I come into Universal Studios. I always head straight down this way But since we're going right back to the restaurant, we might as well go this way Let me know in the comments which way you go normally and also we can take a look at the wait times It looks like the Simpsons ride is 50 minutes transformers is 45 minutes men in black 35 minutes Definitely seems like it's a better park for wait times at Universal Studios side I mean these don't look that bad at all. Let's see what Gringotts is like. Oh 70 minutes for Gringotts Fast and the Furious is 20 minutes. So yeah, it's actually really decent There aren't as many popular attractions at Universal side as islands at the moment Especially with the mummy being closed, but I'm still shocked with the lower wait times I mean, it's not too bad the average wait time over here is about 20 minutes over there. It's an hour. Oh There he is too. There's my man. There he is Yeah, that's the way. Oh, I'm doing great. Have a great day. Yeah Not too good. Yeah seems like the best day for you then still dead. Can't do anything about it. Yeah Well, thank you. Here. We have a photo real quick. Oh I All right, squeeze me in thank you. Thank you, huh? Here we go. We're gonna do a photo Beetlejuice is amazing He literally made my day and made me laugh and it's so funny because he's like I could squeeze you in I could squeeze You in and then when the person behind me went up to go take a photo. He was looking at him Like I don't want to take a photo with you. It was really funny They they go so deep in the character and I love it We need to get moving along though so we can make it over to Lumbards for our reservation But look you can actually see the dragon in dog an alley from here. I'm gonna try to zoom in for you Let me know if you guys can spot them there. You can definitely see his tail up in the air, but I think that's so cool Looks like there's some construction in our way from getting to our restaurant might be a little bit of a delay Oh Boy, you have to cut through here. We'll go this side And you know what's funny is I think I've been on a seafood kick recently first Boston lobster piece I mean well first Kate made cafe Boston lobster piece and now Lumbards for some more seafood They have other things other than seafood here Here's a look at the menu on the outside a little bit looks like we've got the catch of the day a filet Fisherman's basket shrimp alfredo fish and chips Baja mahi tacos They've got burgers lobster world grilled chicken a couple of appetizers some clam chowder calamari Some pot stickers. So I don't know. I'm not too sure what we'll get we'll have to look and try to decide when we get in there This is a very pretty restaurant, but since it's so nice out I think we're gonna try to sit outside see if they have any availability But I'll give you a tour of the restaurant as we go through it Lumbards landing wait you see it in here. Like I said, it's so pretty might get a little bit dark, but Fancy They've got some very nice fish fountains here the stairway going all the way up and then that window It's a very classy establishment. They even have an aquarium right in the middle of the dining room, too Let me show you over here I Look at that. I love it little fishes. Oh Yeah, I'm super happy we decided to sit outside We get to sit and actually stare at the backside of Jaws Garadelli over there and this is nice. This is nice. I Decided on going with the filet and it is such an affordable price Universal Studios is really good with their sit Down prices on meals. This is a filet. It's a six ounce grilled black angus beef tenderloin And it gets served with roasted parsnip Rainbow carrots garlic, broccolini and crushed parmesan fingerling potatoes, and it's only 33 dollars I feel like something like that at Disney would probably be $50 and on top of it We're gonna add shrimp to it for an additional $10. So we're gonna eat a little steak and a little shrimp But mainly I picked it just because of the sides I love carrots rainbow carrots, broccolini, and mashed potato with fingerling potatoes. So you get like three sides That's a really good deal You know this place is a fancy establishment when they've got their own napkins and it's the good napkins, too Oh and fancy silverware definitely want to take that napkin home I used to collect napkins, you know like all the fancy ones were like the contemporary and I had some Club 33 ones But Disney stopped making them like the contemporary ones are gone They even had California grow ones you guys know what I'm talking about the fancy napkins, but these ones are nice After dinner, I definitely want to go grab a butter beer for dessert and then also ride a ride or two You know, I'd love to go on ET. He's like my go-to ride here at Universal Studios I love ET or maybe even Fast and the Furious I mean I seen that was a 20-minute wait on the way in I mean it's not the best ride But it's still kind of fun. I don't know. We'll see what we have. We'll see what the wait times are like And here it is. Oh my lord. It looks beautiful. Look at this Holy moly. This is so well prepared with the shrimp over here And then you got the filet the fingerling potatoes the broccolini and the rainbow carrots This is one amazing looking meal. Oh, there's a hidden shrimp under there So you get five shrimp this looks I cannot wait. I'm so excited. This looks that good. I Really can't get over how amazing this meal looks look at these shrimp. They look so good and nice and charred on them I am so excited. We're gonna try the shrimp on its own I'm gonna get to the steak and all the different sides, but I guess the shrimp and business first so here we go That is just so good. Holy moly I can't believe this meal cost 33 dollars for the steak and the potatoes and everything like that It definitely seems like something you would pay a lot more for it. I mean the steak isn't that big It's like a six ounce steak, which I think is the size of the filet at steak I'll 71 which is just around the 30 40 dollar mark there, but wow I am so impressed We're gonna take our time with this baby had a little shrimp now We're gonna cut into the steak and we're gonna try everything all on its own and then put it all together All right, let's cut into this bad boy. We're gonna have to move this little shrimp out of the way Got a nice little spot right here And I am so excited There we go gonna dive in now. Give me give it the go The steak is good. It's not the best steak out there But it is pretty good and like I said for the price you can't beat the shrimp is amazing And these little sides like the rainbow carrots. This is what I'm talking about I can actually come and order all the sides as an entree and be happy with it because these look so so good A little bit of the rainbow carrots Now let's grab a little bit of the garlic broccolini here Now it's time for the combination bite a little fennel and potatoes some carrots and steak And some broccolini all in one bite. This is the way Honestly, I have to say I think my favorite thing is probably the sides They are that good Honestly the broccoli the the garlic broccolini and the carrots I've been eating them up like crazy Now I'm soaking up some of that steak juice with my potato. I still got one shrimp over there looking good The steak does get served with the little bolognese sauce and it usually comes on it But I always ask for my sauce on the side either because like if you do like it Then you can just dump it on yourself But if you don't like it it doesn't ruin the meal So I'm always a sauce on the side kind of guy, but now we're gonna give it a go Pull a little that bolognese sauce down there Bada boom bada boom get a swirl nice big ol swirl And now we go in for the bite It's good sauce. Yeah And it didn't even stand a chance I would take a look at the dessert menu But like I said, I want to get a butter beer later on and plus I wonder if we get our annual past discount I'll find out once we leave because that makes it even cheaper if we get our annual past discount too That was so good and we did get our annual past discount We saved $7 with our annual past discount And now I want to come over to the backside here and show you the view. It's so amazing Look at this. Isn't it amazing? Wow, I love it. You can see Lardlad doughnuts there You can see the Back to the Future train Transformers A seagull A duck in the water Too bad we couldn't see Jaws. Well, you could see Jaws. He's a little over there But I'd like to see like the real like show or the real ride again. Look at these seagulls. They're kind of just hanging out here Now let's go get ourselves a butter beer time for a little dessert and a little diagonally They get so busy like I said once you get into the harry potter areas and also it's four o'clock So my express pass with my annual pass is good. So maybe we can ride gringots too I mean since we're in here as long as it's not a long wait But we get to go through the little walkway here Oh And look at that It's like a whole new world I think we'll head into the leaky cauldron doesn't seem like there's a long line for butter beer in there A lot of people don't even know that they serve Butter beer inside the leaky cauldron So it's kind of like a little hidden secret because there's really people like there's the lines to get butter beer are really long But uh, if you're not eating something a lot of people don't even know to come in here and grab it In fact, there's no line There's no line to get butter beer. So let me show you what it's like to get butter beer on the outside once we get out of here Oh, there it is. Thank you Oh, yeah, just the way I like it Exactly what I've been missing in life cheers to butter beer stashes They also had hot butter beer and let me tell you I was tempted. I do love hot butter beer If it was nighttime, I probably would have got the hot butter beer But kind of felt like a cold butter beer of today and look at that view. Look at this Ah too good Just casually hanging out in dog and alley with the butter beer, you know Overland or local things here So it looks like escape from gringots is a 70 minute wait But because it just turned uh four o'clock and now all the annual pass holder express passes are in fact I bet you the wait time is probably gonna be a little bit higher and even going in the express You can just see the line of people going in there. So I think we might just go to et instead I mean we came here with one purpose to come into dog and alley and we got it So feel like mission complete We're gonna exit out through this way but take a look at this the ultimate family travel solution Famba station wagons the newest addition to the nimbus fleet. Isn't that amazing? I really love it I feel like every time I come to universal studios, I do have to ride et. I love it that much I love the smell. I love the animatronics. I love the ride vehicle. It's like It's probably my favorite universal studios ride actually My least favorite universal studios ride Probably is the simpsons ride. I mean it has a great concept to it But it really messes with my head It makes me feel a little nauseous and I'm not even like screen sensitive But that ride it definitely gets me shook up But I do love the queue and I love how they poke fun of all the disney Attractions in there like they make fun of the hana mansion and pirates of the caribbean And dumbo and stuff like that kind of like how shrek 4d did But uh, yeah, just can't really ride it Just because I don't like the simpsons ride doesn't mean I don't like the simpsons and crusty Is out doing a meet and greet. So we got to say hello Hi crusty. I just wanted to come say hi. Yeah. Thank you. How you doing having a good day? I'm gonna get a crusty burger even though I just had a steak I know it's really good, but I'm gonna take a photo of you. Is that okay? I'm gonna strike a pose very fancy. Here we go. I like it. Oh, yep fix the bow tie very good and cheese Excellent, you're the man. Thanks crusty I wish they had a Barney meet and greet. I think that would have been amazing not Barney Like Barney the purple dinosaur like Barney the beer drinking character from the simpsons. I'd love to meet Barney On our way back to et I do want to stop in bikini bottom to see if there's any characters Doing a meet and greet in there. Sometimes they actually just casually. Oh, there is I see squidward in there So we're gonna head in there. We're gonna head into the spongebob store pants spongebob store pants And there's squidward doesn't look like he's happy to take photos with people Oh, I guess it's my turn. Hello. Well, he's there we go There we go fancy Uh bye Oh, I'm out. See you And also take a look at this as I was walking around the store Look, they're selling rosavelts inside universal studios now. How funny is that? I love it and I have a couple spongebob shirts. I should break them out and bring them here next time I'm here. That is so awesome. So happy. I guess I've been loving these shirts forever and you guys know I help I own a lot my own a lot Well today I got chewed away by uh, beetle juice and squidward. So I feel like we're doing good How funny is that though? It still cracks me up, but now it's time for e.g It says a 25 minute wait, but luckily we've got the uh, express It also looks like the pre-show is back. So we're gonna be able to see steven spielberg I feel like I haven't seen the pre-show for this in a long time Experience the mystery feel the suspense and ride the adventure He means your help now we've just received an urgent message from his teacher botanicus calling for you to come home right away That's awesome.
