1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:14,040 Welcome to another Universal Lando Podcast. I'm Nick. And I'm Melody. And both children 2 00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:20,720 are asleep but the cat is awake. So the cat's gonna be a menace. Maybe. Maybe. Alright we 3 00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:27,480 are dedicating this episode to your sister. My sister, not the listener's sister. That'd 4 00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:34,160 be weird. Cause that's how you started it. You could've... Oh yeah. No, not your sister 5 00:00:34,160 --> 00:00:42,240 but Melody's sister. Yes. Her sister is getting married this November. Yay! And they're planning 6 00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:47,360 a honeymoon. And they said they want to go, they're doing a cruise. And then they're getting 7 00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:53,160 off the cruise and then going to Universal for two days. Yep. Your sister's been, how 8 00:00:53,160 --> 00:00:59,240 many times? Once? No. She's been a few times. She hasn't been that... But it's always been 9 00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:03,600 for Rock the Universe. Yes. So she hasn't really experienced Universal. And the last 10 00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:10,760 time she went I think was before Velocicoaster was built. And then her now fiancee, future 11 00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:15,480 husband... Has not gone at all. Has not gone at all but he is a ginormous Jurassic Park 12 00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:22,640 fan. Anyways, we are dedicating this episode to your sister. So we are planning your day. 13 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:27,320 Yep. So Melody made you a plan and I made you a plan. Choose whichever makes you best. 14 00:01:27,320 --> 00:01:32,440 And then for our actual listeners, you can kind of use this plan for yourselves if you 15 00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:37,960 ever want to. It's like a short... It's super easy. Yeah. Mine's very simple. Same. It's 16 00:01:37,960 --> 00:01:45,400 very tailored to honeymoon. Yeah. So Melody deleted all of her notes on her phone. Yay. 17 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:51,160 So she's gonna do her whole list from memory. And we're getting right into it because I 18 00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:56,880 don't want you forgetting. No, no, no, no, no, no. Socials. Oh, whatever. We're on Instagram 19 00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:02,480 and Twitter slash X. You can find us at another Universal podcast on Instagram, which I need 20 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:08,760 to post more on. And another UO pod on Twitter, which Nick needs to post more on. Get into 21 00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:15,960 your list before a child wakes up. I said that before a child wakes up. Starting on... 22 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:22,000 Hold on. I don't remember which days. Friday. Okay. I need to change the stuff around then. 23 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,880 Think about this way. They go there Friday, stay Saturday, leaving Sunday. That's too 24 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:33,240 much to think. I just forget I have a small brain. Very smooth. I can keep that in. No, 25 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:39,960 you can't. All right, go. What is your plan for Amy? Are we doing it like you do Friday, 26 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:43,680 then I'll do my Friday and then you do your Saturday and I'll do my Saturday or you just 27 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:49,000 say... I was going to be like, I interject with stuff on your plan if need be. So you're 28 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:52,480 going to say your whole plan and then I say my whole plan and you should be... No, like 29 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:56,360 I'll start, then you'll probably interrupt me and then I'll interrupt you like how we 30 00:02:56,360 --> 00:03:03,400 normally talk. Okay. Okay. Friday. Okay, you do your Friday and then I will do my Friday. 31 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:12,200 Fine. Thank you. Okay. So we are assuming that the cruise will start departing its people 32 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:19,000 at 8 a.m. Because that's when I think most cruises do it. Yes. But I'm also putting in... 33 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:24,600 What's the word? I'm also... Giving them leeway. We go to room. I also gave them... Of getting 34 00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:30,480 off the boat, getting to Orlando because we know the port that they're probably going 35 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:34,920 to. Yes. So I'm going to guess that they're probably going to get to Orlando around 11 36 00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:39,080 ish. They're going to Port Canaveral. That's not a mystery. Well, yes. Hopefully. Amy, 37 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:44,360 go to Port Canaveral. You'll make our lives a lot easier. Don't do it for yourself. Do 38 00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:50,280 it for me. Oh my word. Sorry. Do it for Melody. Do it for the cat. I'm so sorry, Amy. And 39 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:58,320 Tony. Oh yeah, Tony might listen to this. Hi. Hi. Okay. You keep getting me frazzled. 40 00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:04,160 You're welcome. Okay, so they're going to Orlando to 11. Lunch. You need lunch. That's 41 00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:09,200 how I'm starting this. Oh, you're starting at 11? Yeah. Okay. Lunch. Okay. Why? When 42 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:15,400 are you starting? 9 or 10 a.m. Oh no. How long did it take to get from Port Canaveral 43 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:19,800 to Universal? It takes like an hour to get off the boat itself. So? And then you have 44 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:24,520 to get to your car. They don't have a car. They're probably going to Uber. They're driving 45 00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:31,440 there. Oh, that's right. I didn't know they were driving. Cheaper to them. Anyway, I don't 46 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:36,240 know if it's actually cheaper or not. They'll be driving to Orlando. Yes. Arrive to Port 47 00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:44,480 Canaveral. Around. No, Orlando to 11. Sure. Lunch. What I would suggest is go to McDonald's. 48 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:53,320 Oh, you're. Okay. One, it's not expensive. Two, Tony probably hasn't been there. Three, 49 00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:59,840 I don't remember. I don't know if Amy remembers going there. Uh huh. And it's an interesting 50 00:04:59,840 --> 00:05:04,920 experience. Amy, I will send you the address so that you don't go to the wrong McDonald's. 51 00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:09,080 You should send her. This one is special. It has pizza and pasta. You should send her 52 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:14,160 the address like right after we finish recording this tonight. And she's going to be super 53 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:18,200 confused. And you just don't say anything. Just don't answer any of her questions. And 54 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:23,040 then once she hears this, she'll understand. For what? A whole week? Yes. Because this 55 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:27,520 will come out on time. I did good. You also made one of our listeners very mad. What did 56 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:35,120 I do now? John. Uh, McDonald's. Yes. It's saving money. And it's a tradition. Because 57 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:41,040 I went to that McDonald's with my family to begin with. Okay. And then I introduced Nick 58 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:47,440 to it. And now it's a thing. It is. You gotta experience it at least once. And like I said, 59 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:53,200 Tony hasn't. So there. I guess you do need to make pasta every now and then. Anyway. 60 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:58,120 So you get lunch. Did you have a lunch planned? You do your Friday and then you'll understand 61 00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:05,560 why I'm going later. Okay. Okay. And then after that you go to your hotel. And the hotels 62 00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:12,880 that we recommend. Portofino. Because it's pretty. Yes. Aventura. Because it's nice. 63 00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:20,260 Yes. And kinda Sapphire Falls. I like Sapp- I haven't been there yet. Yes. I'm only saying 64 00:06:20,260 --> 00:06:24,600 cause it's cheaper than Portofino but it's still connected to the water taxi. You wouldn't 65 00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:33,680 understand but I heard it smells good. Okay. Got it. That's never gonna win me over. No. 66 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:39,600 But it's kinda water taxi. Yes. And that's a nice relaxing way to get to the parking 67 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:47,280 back. And shorter security lines. Now okay. If you do decide to stay at Aventura you can 68 00:06:47,280 --> 00:06:52,720 walk across the street to Sapphire Falls. Cause it's literally you walk outside like 69 00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:57,920 the main doors of Aventura. You go to a little bus stop. If you just look across the street. 70 00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:04,680 It's not even a street. It's a roundabout. It's in the- like you turn into Aventura. 71 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:08,840 If you were staying at Sapphire Falls you turn into the same area. So you can look- 72 00:07:08,840 --> 00:07:14,040 you can stay at Aventura, look across the way and see Sapphire Falls. And then just 73 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:18,000 use their water taxi. Anyway so you can stay at Aventura, go to the bus stop and you can 74 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:23,280 look across the street and it's like a hundred steps over to Sapphire Falls. You go in their 75 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:29,640 lobby. I think you take a spiral staircase down and then you walk over to the water taxi 76 00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:34,280 where you can promptly just walk onto their water taxi. Cause as long as you're at one 77 00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:39,940 of the Universal hotels you can use the water taxis right? False. No? Anyone can use water 78 00:07:39,940 --> 00:07:45,520 taxis. Oh. Even non-resort guests. Matter of fact, Universal actually encourages it. 79 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:49,880 Okay. As long as the hotels aren't busy. So if you try and do that on like a Halloween 80 00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:55,920 Horror Nights night and their water taxis are jam packed sometimes they'll start checking 81 00:07:55,920 --> 00:08:01,920 room cards. Ah. And they won't let you on if you don't have a room card. Okay. Or like 82 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:09,400 that Aventura Sapphire Falls water taxi trick. That won't work at like really packed times. 83 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:14,920 She theoretically should be fine then. Yeah. So she's going in a will be packed? Probably. 84 00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:20,440 Will it be so packed that she can't get on the water taxi? More than likely not. Anyway. 85 00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:25,640 Use water taxis. And preferably one of those three hotels. Part of you know Aventura Sapphire 86 00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:32,360 Falls. And it'll come in handy later with my plane. Okay. So you checked in. Can you drop 87 00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:38,600 off your luggage? Yep. Okay. Do that so that you can then go to the park. Okay. What I 88 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:45,080 suggest go to Islands. Okay. So they're going to go to Islands. Weird move but okay. Not 89 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:51,800 for them. And what I would suggest is go straight to the Jurassic Park area. Because like you 90 00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:58,760 said. Okay. He's a big fan and that's kind of why they chose it. Okay. So go there. Check 91 00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:04,640 out the Discovery Center. Check. Decidentally do the Raptor encounter. Which is something 92 00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:10,240 we still have yet to do. We're waiting to take our two small children to do it. And 93 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:16,640 ride Velocicoaster. Here's a tip. Put your hands up on the ride. It'd be great. Here's 94 00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:20,840 a second tip. Wait the extra ten minutes for the front row because there's a special lane 95 00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:24,440 for it. So when you get to the front and they ask you how many. Just say can we wait for 96 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:29,040 the front row? And they'll just direct you over to the side. Yes. As long as it's not 97 00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:34,480 like super packed. Jam packed. Even if it's jam packed I would still ask. Because the 98 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:40,200 front row is all the difference. So get in that front row. Especially for the first. 99 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:45,000 Or if you want to feel like you're being whipped around. Go in the back row. Just wait extra 100 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:49,480 for the front row. Do that. I use my express pass and then I'll get on the ride in like 101 00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:54,320 ten minutes. And I'll still wait that extra ten minutes to go in the front row. It's worth 102 00:09:54,320 --> 00:10:01,120 it. Trust us. I've even been in the front row all by myself. In a cart all by myself. 103 00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:06,320 With the only person being me in the cart. Oh. I told you about this. We went for like 104 00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:11,720 early park or something and I ran right over to Velocicoaster and nobody was on the ride. 105 00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:15,760 It was just me walking through the queue and then I got up and they're like how many? And 106 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:19,120 I'm like one. And they're like cool. You want the front row? And I'm like yes. I'm like 107 00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:25,140 alright go to the front row. So I got in the front row. They boarded me. They closed the 108 00:10:25,140 --> 00:10:29,880 things immediately. I looked around. I'm the only person on the cart. I think I got the 109 00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:36,600 right picture. Oh. Anyway. Back to you know their trip. Not yours. There's also the river 110 00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:44,760 adventure. Be careful with this ride. Okay. Because you don't want to get super wet. You 111 00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:49,800 get uncomfy. So get the middle rows. I think it's the third or fourth or the fourth and 112 00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:56,440 the fifth. Specifically ask for the fourth row. Mmhmm. And just say you'll wait. They're 113 00:10:56,440 --> 00:11:02,560 typically not too busy. If the wait is ten minutes or more, skip it and come back. If 114 00:11:02,560 --> 00:11:08,160 it's five minutes, get on it and ask for the fourth row. You do not want to be in the first 115 00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:13,280 row. You do not want to be in the back row. And you don't want to be on the edges of any 116 00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:18,040 row. You want to be smack dab in the middle of that row. Anywhere else. Traveling while 117 00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:22,200 wet is not going to be fun unless you bring a change of clothes but then you're carrying 118 00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:26,960 a backpack everywhere and that's super inconvenient. And this is why probably both of our lists 119 00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:33,200 say to skip Toon Lagoon. Yes. Do not go to Toon Lagoon. You can go to Toon Lagoon. You 120 00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:37,160 just don't ride anything. We talked to her recently in person. Told her to completely 121 00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:45,160 ignore Ripsaw. Yes. Not fun. Because she's what just like an inch taller than me. Yes. 122 00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:52,160 No. You can look around but that's it. Anyways moving on. Yes. So like I said just take your 123 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:57,960 time. Look at all the stuff in Jurassic Park and then when the park's about to close because 124 00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:02,320 I'm assuming that's going to take a bit because they're also going to look at all the souvenirs 125 00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:10,640 and stuff then I don't remember how long before the park closes I would suggest riding Hagrid's. 126 00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:14,640 We're not going to know the park hours because a company can just randomly come in and buy 127 00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:21,960 out the park and next thing you know the park's closing at like 6 p.m. That's the only downside 128 00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:30,880 is that happens a lot. Oh. So when they're like done with Jurassic Park. Yeah. Then you 129 00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:35,240 should go ride Hagrid's as like your last thing of the day. That's why I'm just suggesting 130 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:42,720 that and Hagrid's. Okay. What's next? Well then you go back to your oh dinner. So they're 131 00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:49,040 skipping Spider-Man. For that day. Yeah. Do they have park to park tickets then? I'm assuming 132 00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:55,000 so. Okay. Doesn't Islands North typically close after studios? Because the thing is that first 133 00:12:55,000 --> 00:13:00,080 day if all you're doing is islands you don't really need that park to park ticket that 134 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:07,600 first day. No but you'll need it the second day. Right. Okay. This is just my idea. No 135 00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:13,000 this is your idea. I'm just trying to make it simple you just go to and then you can 136 00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:17,880 go on other rides if you want to. I'm saying these are the must haves. Okay. What'd you 137 00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:24,800 do for dinner? I forgot. Oh my. Well then think of something. It's the travel day so 138 00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:31,040 I would pick something nice but not McDonald's. No that's lunch. Eat at the park. It's simpler. 139 00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:40,160 They can have a pizza for lunch and then they go back and have a McPasta. Oh my word. Italian. 140 00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:45,000 If they're an island. You also have city walk. We don't have to eat in the park. I know I'm 141 00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:50,880 trying to remember my brain farting pretty bad. Maybe cow fish but I don't know if Tony 142 00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:56,840 likes sushi or even if Amy likes sushi. Doesn't he not like fish? You don't like fish. I thought 143 00:13:56,840 --> 00:14:01,360 I heard from like you or Amy or somebody who said he doesn't like fish. Oh. That would 144 00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:07,800 be very funny. Yes. But then I saw a picture recently of him eating a crab boil. Not crab 145 00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:12,840 boil. You know whenever you go to like that seafood place and they just give you a bag 146 00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:18,240 of like corn. I think that's a crab boil. I don't know. I don't eat seafood. They swim 147 00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:24,720 in poop water. Okay. Something cheap. Okay so pick something. Not tots. That's the next 148 00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:30,400 day. I also heard that cow fish has really good burgers. Oh then sure. Still cow fish. 149 00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:34,880 Okay. Not just seafood. Are they going back to their hotel for an early night? Pretty 150 00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:42,560 much. Yes. Okay here's my Friday. Okay. I'm assuming you get to your hotel by nine or 151 00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:48,240 ten o'clock. By then you're going to go to studios instead of islands. Oh. You're going 152 00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:52,680 to hop on Jimmy Fallon. Okay. You're going to do Jimmy Fallon. You're going to have a 153 00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:58,200 great time quotations. You got to do it at least once. You're going to hop on Mummy 154 00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:04,960 because that's a must. Okay Mummy is iconic. It's amazing. Then you're having lunch. And 155 00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:09,880 then for lunch you can either choose Minion Cafe or Mel's Drive-In. These are both kind 156 00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:16,160 of in the middle of where I want you to go next. I would knowing Amy she might prefer 157 00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:22,200 Minion Cafe because she I think she would also like the Udon Bowl. Then I would probably 158 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:27,800 say Minion Cafe. It also has newer food than Mel's. Technically. No not technically. Mel's 159 00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:34,800 is newer. It's refurbished. It's refurbished and the air quotations have a new menu but 160 00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:39,840 it's the same to me. And the and I'm pretty sure Amy's been there. Minion Cafe she hasn't 161 00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:44,360 been there. Okay. Minion Cafe. You go Minion Cafe. Then you're going to hop on Transformers. 162 00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:49,640 Then you're going to go to Gringotts. You're going to sample various Butterbeers. I think 163 00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:55,560 I have enough time for this. Yes. Okay. Okay. Jimmy Fallon you can get on that in like 10 164 00:15:55,560 --> 00:16:01,720 minutes. Mummy if you do it smart it's like 30 minutes 45 minutes at most. By then it's 165 00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:07,640 lunch time. You eat lunch for 45 minutes. Transformers I looked it up at the time that 166 00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:13,680 I was making this list. That was I think a Friday. And Transformers was only at like 167 00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:19,080 a 10 minute wait. Okay. So and then also depending on what hotel she stays at she might have 168 00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:24,480 an express pass. Or even without the hotel she might still do the express pass. Anyways 169 00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:30,080 you're going to hop on Gringotts and you can since it'll probably be about a 30 minute 170 00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:37,760 wait I'm guessing you can grab a Butterbeer on your way into Gringotts. Frozen. We recommend 171 00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:41,800 Frozen but if it is cold it's going to be November so I don't think it's going to be 172 00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:50,320 cold. If you like hot you can try hot. You can try the normal. Or since they are a couple 173 00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:55,140 you can also get one of each and share. That is also true. Like when someone gets frozen 174 00:16:55,140 --> 00:16:59,480 other person gets hot and you can like swap. Yep. But I recommend Frozen because it's the 175 00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:05,680 only way to go. I still not had a hot one. Same. I thought I just tipped over my drink 176 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:10,240 and I was about to cry. Anyways you're going to try Butterbeer. I recommend Frozen. After 177 00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:14,560 the ride you're going to walk around Diagon Alley. I don't know Amy that well so I don't 178 00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:17,860 know if she likes Harry Potter that much. Should I ever ask her that question if she 179 00:17:17,860 --> 00:17:23,640 likes Harry Potter? She doesn't hate it. Okay if you like Harry Potter walk around. There's 180 00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:28,360 a cool little area called Nocturn Alley. It's very cool. If it's hot go in there because 181 00:17:28,360 --> 00:17:34,600 it's more than likely colder in there. It's a good rest spot. Very good rest spot. And 182 00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:39,400 not crowded. You can also substitute if one of you doesn't want to get a Butterbeer go 183 00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:45,880 into Florian Florescuess? Probably saying that wrong. The ice cream shop and get yourself 184 00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:50,800 a Butterbeer ice cream. Which is actually really good. Or what was the one I had? It 185 00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:56,200 was like a brownie one. I don't know there's some type of chocolate one that I really liked. 186 00:17:56,200 --> 00:18:04,320 I don't remember. Oh it was like it was light brown. It wasn't like chocolate. It was like 187 00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:10,120 a pie I think. I don't know. Find one that you like. It's all good. After you do that 188 00:18:10,120 --> 00:18:14,800 you're going to hop on Men in Black. As you're walking to Men in Black you're going to look 189 00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:20,520 at the Fear Factor stage in Cry because I would recommend going to go see Fear Factor 190 00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:27,680 but you cannot. Have fun trying to destroy each other in points. Do Men in Black. Press 191 00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:34,040 the red button when you need to. You're giving them pointless pointers. Then you're going 192 00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:40,240 to hop on the Simpsons ride and then promptly get motion sickness and then regret why I 193 00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:45,480 even recommended that you go on this ride. Then you're going to hop on ET for that iconic 194 00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:51,600 feel of nostalgia because it is. The smell apparently. Oh yeah. Take a big nice whiff 195 00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:57,000 when you walk right into that forest because it smells amazing. It's a calm ride. If Jack 196 00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:02,600 can ride it you can too. That is also true. Then at some point you're going to fit in 197 00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:07,960 the horror makeup show and unfortunately the Bourne Stuntacular. The pre-show sucks but 198 00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:13,240 the show is actually not bad. Yeah. Then for dinner. If you can only do one show. Horror 199 00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:19,360 makeup. Yep. Then for dinner I said to go to Toothsums. I saved that for the next day. 200 00:19:19,360 --> 00:19:25,160 Stupid. Well that's the travel day so that's why I waited for the next day. You're going 201 00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:29,160 to wait for Jacques to come over and make fun of you. That's the robot. He's probably 202 00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:35,000 going to say your husband lives in a forest because he has a beard. He said that to you 203 00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:42,280 because he didn't know where we lived. Whatever. He's very rude. He's very blunt. So Amy you 204 00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:49,000 will love him. You're going to get a milkshake on the way out. Or two. You could. There's 205 00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:53,400 two people. They could get two. But we tried getting two one time and we could not finish 206 00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:58,440 them. Yeah but if they're at a hotel they can take it back and put it in the fridge. 207 00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:02,840 Is Amy like you where she takes her milkshake and then shoves it in the fridge? I don't 208 00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:07,640 know. Because keep in mind those fridges don't actually work as a fridge. They're more things 209 00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:11,920 to keep things cool. Yeah but if you take it with you you can slowly eat it. You don't 210 00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:16,520 have to eat it all one sitting. I guess. Anyways you're going to get a milkshake. I recommend 211 00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:21,680 the brownie one. It's like a chocolate milkshake and then they just shove a brownie on top 212 00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:27,000 and it's really good. I just recommend anything with chocolate. There you go. But that's our 213 00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:30,920 recommendation. And then you're going to head back to the hotel for bed. So depending on 214 00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:35,560 how you do this day this could be a very quick day. I can get a studio is done in like a 215 00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:40,000 few hours if I do it correctly. And you can also go to Toothums pretty late. So you can 216 00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:45,000 have a late dinner and not have to. Oh just to make sure secure your spot make sure you 217 00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:48,600 get a reservation for Toothums at least a week ahead so you can get the time that you 218 00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:52,640 want. It's not like Disney where you have to book six months in advance. Yeah. I'm just 219 00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:59,360 telling you to book a week ahead. It's like regular nicer restaurants. Yes. Could you 220 00:20:59,360 --> 00:21:04,120 risk it and do a walk up? Yes. You're probably not going to get a seat but you can try. Have 221 00:21:04,120 --> 00:21:09,640 a plan. Have a backup plan if you don't get a reservation. We're giving very rough guidelines 222 00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:16,520 but we do suggest at least making a plan before you go. Like get out a map make routes of 223 00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:22,880 where you will go. You don't even get fast and furious. No. Oh wait. Yes you skipped 224 00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:29,280 it. Nope. We're putting that on. No. No we're putting. No no no. You have to do it. Tony 225 00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:35,240 has not been on it. He needs to do it. Fine. Waste your time on that ride. It's between 226 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:40,680 Transformers and Green Gods right? Yes. There we go. It is on the list. Good job. Do fast 227 00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:45,960 and furious because while the ride is terrible it's not going to be around that much longer. 228 00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:49,920 Speaking of rides that will not be there for much longer. When you go Amy. Do that too. 229 00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:55,800 No it's going to be gone. Oh it will be because it's November. Yep. Ah. So they will get 230 00:21:55,800 --> 00:22:01,560 to see what it looks like when they tear down a ride. Sorry. Well Amy wrote it. It's going 231 00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:07,200 to be weird because by the time they go the ride should actually be probably fully dismantled. 232 00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:10,680 You won't even see it. Oh I'm going to have to change our logo. We're going to have to 233 00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:15,320 change our logo. Or we can keep it for nostalgia. Anyways after dinner you're going to head 234 00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:20,400 back to the hotel for hopefully an early bedtime because you have just been traveling all day 235 00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:25,680 and you just did a full park day ish. Anyways so I just go with my Saturday now or do you 236 00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:31,480 want to do your Saturday? Do your Saturday. I didn't fully plan Saturday. I just. I didn't 237 00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:39,080 just had my plan of continuing from the day before. If you went to Hagrid's then you have 238 00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:45,960 more options. You can go to the early park access and do Hagrid's again because that's 239 00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:51,960 another chance to go on Hagrid's with a short wait time or you can just kind of take a morning 240 00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:58,640 and relax first for like an extra hour. What are they doing for lunch and dinner? Also 241 00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:03,080 we're not really doing breakfast because everyone does something different. Breakfast. If you 242 00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:08,280 want breakfast we recommend Voodoo. Has Amy had Voodoo donuts? I don't know but that's 243 00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:15,560 what I said. For breakfast there's Cinnabon, there's Voodoo donuts or if you want to travel 244 00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:23,720 from park to park there is the Green Eggs and Ham Tots. I think they're open a little 245 00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:30,080 bit in breakfast time. Oh because tots can be like a breakfast thing. Eggs and tots. 246 00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:36,000 I think me and Connor had tots in the morning but like close enough to lunch time where 247 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:41,040 we were like this could be a lunch. Or you can just have a brunch. That works too. Or 248 00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:48,200 that. Okay so tots or Voodoo or Cinnabon. What are they doing for lunch? I didn't write 249 00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:57,080 down lunch. Well think of something. And islands the places I would recommend is Circus McGurkiss. 250 00:23:57,080 --> 00:24:03,840 Okay. Because that's just like cool unusual food that you can get. There's Miso's but 251 00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:10,640 that's like a nicer restaurant. Also in islands. I don't even know where we normally get lunch 252 00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:16,640 in studios besides Minion Cafe. That's pretty much been our go to. And then there's little 253 00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:22,360 stalls like there's the Fire Eaters kebabs or something like that which we have still 254 00:24:22,360 --> 00:24:28,040 yet to have. We need to try that. And then the restaurants and the Harry Potter areas. 255 00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:35,000 There's the Three Broomsticks and Hogshead. I wouldn't recommend those though. They're 256 00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:40,320 very busy. It's very busy and very hectic. So for like a honeymoon that could be very 257 00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:46,520 overwhelming. And one of them also has like English food and I don't know if they would 258 00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:52,240 like that or not. Neat. Anyways dinner. Since apparently you didn't plan out there Saturday. 259 00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:58,480 Toothums. That was my dinner plan. Cowfish the day before. Toothums that day. So basically 260 00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:04,480 Saturdays do any rides that interest them. Yeah. Okay. And like try to do Hagrid's again. 261 00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:11,240 Ride Velocicoaster again if you want. Just go enjoy. Oh definitely do like the train 262 00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:17,920 travel because that's also an experience. Try to do it earlier in the day. Short lines. 263 00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:21,020 If you do it in the middle of the day it's not really worth it. If you have your Express 264 00:25:21,020 --> 00:25:26,680 Pass Express will work for this. Yes. But also if you do it early in the day it's shorter. 265 00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:34,320 Okay. Because no one's switching parks at that point. It stays in a high weight a lot. 266 00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:40,840 I use my Express Pass very frequently. Actually every time that I use it. I also am just assuming 267 00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:45,240 they're going to have an Express Pass. Oh. You say to do the train. I say don't do the 268 00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:50,840 train. If the train is 15 minutes or more. Just skip it. It's not worth it. Unless you 269 00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:56,120 were a Die Hard Harry Potter fan. No that's true. If it's 15 minutes or more. It takes 270 00:25:56,120 --> 00:26:00,920 me 15 minutes to walk from the back of one park to the front gate of the other park. 271 00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:07,580 So for me it's not even that worth it. Okay. So my rule is if it's 15 minutes I'll hop 272 00:26:07,580 --> 00:26:12,440 on it with an Express. If it's 20 minutes or more and I have Express I'm just not even 273 00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:18,840 going to do it. Alrighty. Anyways. My day. At least look at the train station. Just like 274 00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:22,520 kind of look at it. It's kind of cool. That's another thing. They won't experience the whole 275 00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:27,160 month. Once again if you're not a Harry Potter fan then you don't care. So nevermind. Okay 276 00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:35,040 so this is going to be your hectic day. I'm having you wake up at 6 15 or 6 30. I hope 277 00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:39,240 you're morning people. They are. Yeah they wake up early for work. I don't think they'll 278 00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:44,400 have a hard time with that. Okay. You're waking up at 6 15 or 6 30 so you can hop on the first 279 00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:49,800 boat or bus over to Universal. You are then going to be among the first people in line 280 00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:57,060 for early party admittance to Islands of Adventure. Once at Islands you are going to beeline it 281 00:26:57,060 --> 00:27:03,520 straight back towards Soos Landing. You can skip a lot of rides in Soos Landing. It's 282 00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:10,320 kid thrice. So this is where it comes a little bit of planning comes in handy. Okay. As long 283 00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:16,680 as you're within the first person or two of that line for early park you will get on Hagrid 284 00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:22,640 with like a five or ten minute wait. Almost guaranteed. As long as you walk fast. Okay. 285 00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:28,320 Don't run. When you walk to Hagrid's you are going to they're going to direct you to the 286 00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:32,880 right so you're going to go through port of entry. You're going to go to the right towards 287 00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:37,560 Soos Landing. They're going to check your hotel key card to make sure your hotel guest 288 00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:41,800 has an early park. You're going to walk straight through and there is going to be the big round 289 00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:45,960 path that just keeps going straight but then there's going to be people that are veering 290 00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:52,560 to the left and going towards the green eggs and ham. You can say snitches but she's not 291 00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:55,920 going to know what that means. So the big thing that she's going to look for is the 292 00:27:55,920 --> 00:28:00,800 green eggs and ham. The place where you get tots. It's a circular green place. Yes. You're 293 00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:04,560 going to walk back. You're just follow the crowd. You're going to go back and it's going 294 00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:08,840 to be a kind of like a little hidden path and it just cuts right through Soos Landing 295 00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:15,600 and it empties you right out at the bridge to Lost Continent. You are then going to curve 296 00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:20,520 around Lost Continent and just head straight back towards Hagrid's. Yep. As long as you 297 00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:26,520 do all of my steps correctly and you are within the first couple people of early park at the 298 00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:31,880 front gates of islands you will have a five or ten minute wait. Guaranteed. I have had 299 00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:39,500 days where I am the first person in line and I walk right onto the ride. It takes me five 300 00:28:39,500 --> 00:28:45,080 minutes to walk through that queue. It's a long queue. Even when just walking onto the 301 00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:50,680 ride you still got to walk a bit. Yep. But it is nice because I don't think they even 302 00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:56,640 realize why we're emphasizing why this is so important. Yes. So if you if you don't 303 00:28:56,640 --> 00:29:02,880 do it this way it'll be a two hour wait throughout the entirety of the day. Hagrid's is still 304 00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:09,400 probably the most popular ride. It is the most popular ride. And there is no express. 305 00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:16,460 Now it might change because Epic will be open. That's true. So side note we did not plan 306 00:29:16,460 --> 00:29:22,680 for you to go to Epic. No. Because we figured those lines are going to be way too long. 307 00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:28,360 Like we are planning to go May 25th and we're only expecting to go on a ride or two. And 308 00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:34,000 also they did say they're going for Jurassic Park and yeah Epic is just going to be super 309 00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:39,240 crowded. If you wanted to add Epic you're going to need a longer trip. Now if I was 310 00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:43,920 being your travel guide and I was booking everything for you I'd tell you to go for 311 00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:49,400 four days at the very least. Three days at the two main parks and then at least one day 312 00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:54,880 at Epic. Because that's all you can really buy right now. Yes. Anyways. For now we're 313 00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:59,920 assuming there's still not going to be an express line for Hagrid's. More than likely. 314 00:29:59,920 --> 00:30:07,400 Anyways. You're going to explore Hogsmead until 830. You could go over and do Velocicoaster 315 00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:11,320 but I'm telling you don't do it yet. You're going to do Hogsmead. You're going to walk 316 00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:14,440 around Hogsmead. There's some cool shops. There's a wand shop. There's like a little 317 00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:20,320 wand ceremony where people get their wands. I'm pretty sure Amy's seen it. Enjoy this 318 00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:24,840 area when it's not too crowded. Yes. Because everyone is going to be going straight to 319 00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:30,080 Hagrid's. You will have that whole land almost to yourselves. And later in the day that area 320 00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:34,640 gets really hard to walk through. There is a bridge that you can use later on in the 321 00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:41,640 day if you need to to just completely bypass. Hogsmead. Yeah. So. Anyways. Enjoy your time 322 00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:46,600 when you can. You're going to explore Hogsmead until 830. I say that because Forbidden Journey 323 00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:51,080 doesn't open until 830. So once Forbidden Journey opens you're going to hop on it right 324 00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:57,920 at 830. And then once the park is opened at 9am you're going to go back towards Seuss 325 00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:03,880 Landing. Why? Because I'm centering the day around Jurassic Park. Oh. Anyways. Alright 326 00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:07,920 because they went to studios and you're playing the day before. Anyways. You're going to hop 327 00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:13,560 on High in the Sky Seuss Trolley Train Ride. Then you're going to go do Cat in the Hat. 328 00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:17,960 Both of these rides should be 5 or 10 minutes. Because everyone's going to be going to Harry 329 00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:22,960 Potter. What? I forgot. For Friday when you ride Velocicoaster I don't know if they'll 330 00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:28,920 be doing it during the day or at night. Why are you going back to your plane? Because 331 00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:33,680 you missed your opportunity. Try to ride Velocicoaster both in the day and night. There you go. You 332 00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:38,320 lost your opportunity. Throughout your whole trip I don't care. Two very different experiences. 333 00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:41,880 I've still yet to do the one at night. Anyways once you're done with Seuss Landing with those 334 00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:45,240 two rides you're going to walk over to the Marvel Super Hero Island. You're going to 335 00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:50,320 hop on Hulk. Then you're going to go do Spider-Man. You're going to skip Toon Lagoon altogether. 336 00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:54,980 You're going to hop on Kong Skull Island and cry because it's not in 3D anymore. Or have 337 00:31:54,980 --> 00:31:59,960 the outside area. By this time this will be lunch. Lunch. I have done it in days where 338 00:31:59,960 --> 00:32:06,240 I can do the entire park before lunch time. If you're briskly walking to everything. Don't 339 00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:13,480 do that. You could. But then their legs are going to be burning. My legs weren't burning. 340 00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:19,000 Anyways lunch. You're either going to go do Tots at Green Eggs and Ham or Confisco Grill. 341 00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:22,200 So Tots that's going to be your quick and easy lunch. Confisco Grill that's going to 342 00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:26,040 be at the front of the park and it's going to be a nice sit down. It has pretty views. 343 00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:34,080 It also has more like Asian dishes there too. Anyways now is when you go and explore Jurassic 344 00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:38,240 Park. So there are two ways to get there from. I'm just going to assume you're going to choose 345 00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:42,520 Confisco Grill because it's a honeymoon. Confisco Grill is right at the front of the park. If 346 00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:50,040 you're looking out. Just straight out you can see the lagoon. The big water area. Islands 347 00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:57,280 is formated in a circle. So you can either go left to get to Jurassic Park or you can 348 00:32:57,280 --> 00:33:02,760 take a right to go to Jurassic Park. So I'm going to say go to. Where are you going first? 349 00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:05,960 You're doing Raptor and Cunning. So you're going to go to the left. Isn't that towards 350 00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:11,000 Hulk? Yes. So you're going to go towards the left towards Hulk and then you're going to 351 00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:17,880 go back towards Spider-Man. Then you go take a slight right and go towards I think Toon 352 00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:22,160 Lagoon is next. And then you're going to go back towards Kong and then you're going to 353 00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:28,600 walk past Kong and go do hop right into the Jurassic Park area. So is Kong and then Jurassic 354 00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:33,440 Park not the other way around? I think so. Because I think Kong is technically within 355 00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:38,880 Jurassic Park. And it doesn't really matter that much. It's a circle. You won't get lost. 356 00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:43,200 You're going to go do the Raptor encounter. It does have certain times that you can do 357 00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:50,120 it. So figure out what time it starts at. Download the Universal app. Yes, do that. 358 00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:53,600 There will be a screen above the Raptor encounter and it will tell you when the next show is 359 00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:57,760 or how long the wait is. This wait does get pretty long. So try and get there right when 360 00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:01,440 it first starts. Or before. You're going to do the Raptor encounter. It's really fun. 361 00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:04,760 I've seen videos of it. I am jealous because I really want to go do it. You're going to 362 00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:08,800 do Raptor encounter then you're going to go do Velocicoaster. Like I said, first front 363 00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:14,040 row or very last row, but I highly recommend the front row. After Velocicoaster, you're 364 00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:19,320 going to go on the Jurassic Park Repair Adventure. Again, third or fourth row should be fine. 365 00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:25,280 Try and sit in the middle row of the middle seats. So middle middle. If it's five minute 366 00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:30,280 wait, do it. If it's 10 or 15 or higher, skip it until it's lower. Or if you have an express 367 00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:35,200 pass, do it. But just know you're probably going to get wet. But if he loves Jurassic 368 00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:39,240 Park as much as he says he does, and with how many times I see him wearing a Jurassic 369 00:34:39,240 --> 00:34:43,120 Park shirt, he's not going to want to miss this ride because it is the pinnacle of Jurassic 370 00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:47,280 Park rides unless he goes to Hollywood where that's the even more pinnacle ride. But I 371 00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:52,000 don't know if he likes Jurassic World more or Jurassic Park better. If he likes Jurassic 372 00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:56,080 Park better, he's going to like our ride. But if he likes the Jurassic World franchise, 373 00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:59,460 he's going to like Hollywood more because their Jurassic River adventure is themed to 374 00:34:59,460 --> 00:35:06,840 Jurassic World and it looks more cool and modern, but ours looks more retro and Jurassic 375 00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:15,240 Park-y. It is also very sad because all of the river dinos are missing because they're 376 00:35:15,240 --> 00:35:20,480 broken and it's old. I don't even know if this ride will be open by the time you go. 377 00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:25,240 I hope it is. Well, they'll still be inside dinos at least. Right, but I don't know if 378 00:35:25,240 --> 00:35:32,920 this ride is going to be open by then because my theory is it might close when Epic opens 379 00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:37,960 because I think a lot of the rides at Universal are going to start closing down because they're 380 00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:43,160 getting really old. So like Simpsons, Jurassic Park is probably going to get switched over 381 00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:48,880 to Jurassic World, so on and so forth. Go get the baby. We now have a tiny baby with 382 00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:54,180 us because she woke up. Anyways, I'm going to try and not talk as loud so she can actually 383 00:35:54,180 --> 00:35:59,560 fall back asleep. After you do Jurassic Park River Adventure, you are going to go on any 384 00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:06,720 rides that you like, skipping Velocicoaster. You are not doing Velocicoaster yet. Okay. 385 00:36:06,720 --> 00:36:12,680 You're saving your last ride for Velocicoaster. Actually, no, they already did Velocicoaster. 386 00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:17,960 You're not doing any more ride. Like if you love Velocicoaster, you're saving it for last 387 00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:21,640 because you need to do it at least one time at nighttime. You need to do it once during 388 00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:25,400 the daytime and once at nighttime. Why is that earlier? It is a completely different 389 00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:30,960 ride. And again, that front row at nighttime, you need to do the front row at nighttime. 390 00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:36,260 The way you do this is you're going to have to plan a little bit more since like right 391 00:36:36,260 --> 00:36:41,440 now it's easy for me and Melody to go do Velocicoaster at nighttime because it gets dark at like 392 00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:46,880 430. That was an exaggeration. It gets dark at like six when the park closes at right 393 00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:52,040 now, I think eight o'clock. So it's very easy for us to do a nighttime ride. November, it's 394 00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:58,120 going to get dark later. So the park closes at eight. It starts getting dark around like 395 00:36:58,120 --> 00:37:05,020 seven, I think. You're going to want to hop in that line at like 730. So that by the time 396 00:37:05,020 --> 00:37:09,600 you get on the ride, you're going to be waiting in that line for at least an hour. So you're 397 00:37:09,600 --> 00:37:14,480 going to want to hop in that line at 730. That will put you at an 830 ride. Yes, the 398 00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:19,240 park will be closed, but you can still ride the ride. So if you hop in a ride line right 399 00:37:19,240 --> 00:37:26,360 at 759, they'll usually run through that queue until, you know, nobody's in the queue. 400 00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:31,480 And don't wait that late because I'm pretty sure they stop letting people in. Now. Yes. 401 00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:36,540 But that's usually only for Hagrid's because Hagrid is the one that gets really inflated. 402 00:37:36,540 --> 00:37:43,700 So even with Hagrid's, you can hop in the line at like 730, 745. Okay. Anyways, after 403 00:37:43,700 --> 00:37:49,520 your, your last ride at Velocicoaster, you're going to hop in line, not hop, you're going 404 00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:53,440 to head back to your hotel and you're going to freshen up for dinner. Take a shower, change 405 00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:58,520 your clothes, do whatever. That is a late dinner. Yes. You're going to freshen up for 406 00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:03,360 your dinner. Amy, I know you eat at 630, six to 630. This is the one day you're going to 407 00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:08,360 say you're going to eat late because you're going to have to eat late because I am sending 408 00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:15,800 you to Mamadela's. Oh yeah. Now, Nick, where's Mamadela's? That's a very good question. Listener, 409 00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:21,580 Mamadela's is at Portofino. So you're going to hop on a water taxi. Unless you're staying 410 00:38:21,580 --> 00:38:25,480 at Portofino, which would be convenient. That would be very convenient. So if you're not 411 00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:31,440 staying at Portofino, you're going to get to City Walk via whatever means is necessary. 412 00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:39,240 So that means bus, car, water taxi, whatever. So let's just say for giggles and whatnot, 413 00:38:39,240 --> 00:38:44,800 you're staying at Sapphire. You're going to take your water taxi over to City Walk and 414 00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:50,040 then you get off the boat. But instead of getting fully off the dock, you're going to 415 00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:56,160 just walk over to the Portofino boat and hop on that boat. You're then going to take that 416 00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:59,920 boat all the way to Portofino where you're going to hop off and you're just going to 417 00:38:59,920 --> 00:39:06,200 walk, I think, straight back towards, I don't even know what to call it. You're basically 418 00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:09,160 just going to walk straight back and then you're going to bump into the first TM you 419 00:39:09,160 --> 00:39:13,640 see and you're going to ask, where is Mamadela's? Because we couldn't even find it. TM is team 420 00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:18,160 member. Yes, that's what team member means. They are not cast members. I will yell at 421 00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:22,720 you if you call them cast members. Why am I whispering? I don't know. I don't know either. 422 00:39:22,720 --> 00:39:26,440 You're going to walk straight back, run into the first TM you see and ask them, hey, where 423 00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:29,880 is Mamadela's? They're going to point you in the direction to Mamadela's. You're also 424 00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:35,160 going to be smart and make a reservation. Why do I say to go to Mamadela's? One, very 425 00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:44,160 fancy. Two, very honeymoon-y atmosphere. Three, they serenade you. We went there with Jack 426 00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:49,720 and before Rose was born and we sat down. We didn't stay for very long. He started getting 427 00:39:49,720 --> 00:39:55,440 very antsy. He did not want to stay there. Our server came back. You had already left. 428 00:39:55,440 --> 00:39:59,640 I'm like, hey, can I just get our food to go? She's like, sure, no problem. She boxed 429 00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:06,600 it right up. I was in an alcove area and the serenade band came over and started serenading 430 00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:11,120 the booth right next to me. I was sweating my boots because I'm like, please don't turn 431 00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:19,240 to me and ask me for a song. But 10 out of 10 amazing food. Romantic dinner. Very romantic. 432 00:40:19,240 --> 00:40:26,240 Very nice. Very good end to your universal vacation. You will get serenaded, hopefully. 433 00:40:26,240 --> 00:40:32,200 That would be funny. Then you leave the next day. And then you leave the next day via whatever 434 00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:40,560 means you want to. Carrier pigeon for like hair. Giant pigeons. Yes. Anyways, that is 435 00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:48,280 our plan for you. It was very rough. It was very bouncy all over the place, but it's all 436 00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:53,200 over the place because you really can do universal how you want to. You just want to show up 437 00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:57,040 with your tickets in hand. Congrats. You can do that. You're not going to Disney where 438 00:40:57,040 --> 00:41:03,000 you need a plan every minute of your day. You just want to show up and have a nice day. 439 00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:07,000 Cool. Do that. Pick out a couple of things that you have to do and just make sure you 440 00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:12,840 do them. Yep. And like I said, it is a must to download the app. It'll give you the ride 441 00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:17,440 times. It's not even a must. You don't have to do that. Well, the ride times are posted 442 00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:21,280 outside. This is a great thing about- I was also going to say it's a map. You don't need 443 00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:26,400 a map. It's a circle. Disney, yes, you need a map. If you don't know where you're going, 444 00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:30,320 it was hard for us to figure out where we were going because it wasn't really to us 445 00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:35,640 a circle. Well, yes, but you can have a map to know the fastest way to get somewhere. 446 00:41:35,640 --> 00:41:41,440 Yes. So you don't take the long way around a circle. Not really. So like you walk in 447 00:41:41,440 --> 00:41:46,000 Thailand, you are right in the middle of that circle. So if you're trying to get to the 448 00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:51,160 back of the park, it is the same, almost the same to go either left or right. If anything, 449 00:41:51,160 --> 00:41:57,200 it's so miniscule that it won't even matter. I'm just saying it's convenient if you have 450 00:41:57,200 --> 00:42:01,720 the app. Oh, yes. It's very convenient. But my point is you don't have to do anything. 451 00:42:01,720 --> 00:42:06,520 No. Whereas Disney, you have to download their app. You have to get a Genie Plus. You have 452 00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:10,580 to figure out how to do lightning lanes. You have to figure out how to order food. Technically, 453 00:42:10,580 --> 00:42:17,400 they don't even need to go to studios. Why? Well, I guess so. I think they do. They have 454 00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:23,360 to ride fast and furious. Oh, my word. Anyways, that is your plan for the trip. You're welcome. 455 00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:27,440 If you have any questions, feel free to text us. Not the listeners because you don't know 456 00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:32,680 our phone numbers. No. Or call. It's easier to get more information if we talk. There 457 00:42:32,680 --> 00:42:39,920 you go. But yeah, this is something you can re listen to, I guess, if you need the info. 458 00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:44,600 I guess. Not like right after each other. Like listen now and then maybe listen again 459 00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:50,920 later when they're actually planning. Sure. I guess. OK. Well, that was their episode. 460 00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:57,560 You're welcome. You didn't ask for this, but we did it. We milked you for content. Anything 461 00:42:57,560 --> 00:43:22,720 else? No. Before I go play farming simulator 25. Goodbye. Goodbye. Bye bye. I mean, yes. 462 00:43:22,720 --> 00:43:43,180 I'm sorry. Bye bye. Bye bye. Bye bye. Bye bye. Bye bye. Bye bye.
