Y’all are so sweet! Thank you so much! Tyler has spent so much time learning cameras since we started, and he loves hearing that people appreciate it! ❤️
@ThePughTwo I always wanted to know how Tyler learned how to edit videos. I remember him saying in one video that when he started he knew nothing about video editing.
My advice is to not underestimate how cold it actually can get. My daughter and I went to the event in Feb this year and the first night we were SO cold! And we are from Minnesota! Bring a jacket! The next night we dressed much warmer and that was great!
Yes, absolutely! Florida does get cold a few days every year 😂 we’ve made the mistake of only looking at the “highs” when packing for a trip and not having enough clothes. It’s not fun, for sure!
I just went to my first OI meetup last November. It was a blast, but I had 1 Universal vet like me, but we had 7 newbies with us. It definitely had me playing tour guide for much of the night. Can't wait to go on my own or with non-noobs someday soon. Thanks for bringing us with, we can't make it down as much as we (I?) want to. :D
Lol we definitely feel that! Showing people around can be exhausting, although it’s fun to watch people experience it all for the first time! We hope you get to come back again soon!
Loved the video as usual. We plan on attending the next Orlando Informer (hopefully), because it just looks like so much fun. Edit: Sitting here trying to wrap my mind around how you guys get such good audio at the park. It's so loud! Need to find a way to isolate voices.
Looking forward to next Dec for a meet up! We were at the second Dec one last year. Was a blast! Actually saw you guys on the bridge to Hogsmede… I was staring into the distance against all the lights. By the time I realized a person was walking towards me (it was dark!) and I refocused on the person: it was Anna! I awkwardly froze because I was afraid you thought I was just staring at you. So I immediately walked over to my family and then fangirled by myself! 🤣
Oh my gosh, that’s so funny! You should’ve said hello! I can promise I was 100% in my own world and didn’t think a thing about it 😂 if you see us again, definitely say hi!!
We did an early morning Behind The Scenes daytime tour for six houses and then a RIP tour later that night at HHN. We couldn't feel our feet around 1am that night but we were so glad that we took the daytime tour first. Its like having a tutor before the midterms.
Thank you, this helped a lot! I got in line for our tickets around 2:15 both days. That way we could use our food vouchers before we entered the park, but they don’t give those out anymore. At least they give free food.
I would buy into a HHN OI event! Finally pulled the trigger and got my June meet up tickets! It’s on my bucket list and I’m hoping to run into y’all there 💗
@@ThePughTwo I will ABSOLUTELY be looking out for y’all. The OI Meetup is a bucket list trip for my husband and I. Of course- I’ve been crying tears of joy since we pulled the trigger and decided to go(my husband had a stroke back in November-he’s only 40. It’s a YOLO trip for sure. I have a OI Meetup Check List and a picture with the Pugh Two is on it! You’ll send this happy hippie away in tears of joy if we cross paths!
I didn’t make any of these mistake cuz I actually do my research before any event, we got there at 5pm and stayed until almost midnight back in 2019, my feet were killing me, but Taylor created the best thing on earth❤
Hi Anna & Tyler! Very nice video on how to attend the Orlando Informer Meetup from season veteran’s. All of them are excellent points, especially the travel day tips. I know last year for HHN, I flew from California on a Thursday night REDEYE from San Francisco (arriving into Orlando at 7am) and originally thought about doing HHN on Friday night, but they were sold out of RIP TOUR tickets and I could only get one for Saturday night. So glad that I did, as I do not think I would have made until 2am on Friday night even though I was on West Coast Time. Ken
Great info! I feel like I did everything correct for my first meetup this past December! Except for the sleep part 😅. I think I was up for 25 hrs from when I left home at 12:30 am Friday morning and arrived at 7:50 PM Friday night (thanks to a 8 hr flight delay 😞) finally got to bed around 2:00 am Saturday and back in the park at 8:30 Saturday morning and until the meetup was over. I was running on pure adrenaline. Sunday I took it easy and hung out mostly in Diagon Alley until closing and headed home Monday morning. I’m hoping to score tickets to the November meetup this yr! Hopefully I’ll see you guys this time! 😃
Oh my gosh, I’m tired just reading that! 😂😂 we see it all the time at the meetups, and we’ve done it to ourselves time and time again. You just see zombies walking out at the end of the meetup! Lol
@@ThePughTwo I’m hoping it doesn’t happen again lol. My plan was to get in early afternoon and rest for a couple hours before check in. I find that I don’t really sleep that much when I’m there anyway 😅.
I saw y’all last night at the float riding😊 I even sat with you before they started letting people in, didn’t even realize it because I’m used to seeing both in the video, love all the videos and they helped me so much planning this trip
It was great to meet you in the speakeasy! It was my 4th meetup. Another mistake is forgetting to take advantage of the shortcut between AOI and Universal from suess landing and rocking roller coaster. Saves waiting for hogwarts express or walking all the way to city walk
Fab tips THANKS!!! ps.... just purchased my 2 day ticket for June... and gave YOU TWO credit for the referral. :) Looking forward to being a resident by then.
Unfortunately can only travel day of…and can’t get to our hotel before we head to the beach parks…hopefully the adrenaline will keep us going and we can sleep in before day 2.
They have more dates than ever next year, and you can find them on their website! (Just google Orlando Informer Meetup and it’ll pop right up). They typically have 1-2 weekends in June and 3ish weekends in November/December. They’ve started adding a February weekend the last two years, as well!
My daughter has been begging for us to go to one of these. How much more expensive is it for a trip for two compared to just a normal 2 days in the parks for a non Florida resident?..... I had other questions, but all I can think about now is butter beer. Love your content guys.
You’d have to price it out based on the dates, but it should be cheaper than a two day ticket with express both days. Plus it includes food during the event! They’re definitely worth it!!
Awww I can’t wait to be able to make one of these!! Definitely on my universal bucket list!!! Whyyy can’t they do one in September lol 😂. It’s my slow season
It would be amazing just to go to an orlando informer meeting going on rides with no queues and all the scran to eat absolutely amazing guys so jealous Anna/Tyler have a great night and have loads of fun and Anna eat all you can
Me again. I understand that we can pick up tickets at 3pm , and entry is usually at 5pm. Question ... What if you purchase both nights of the meetup? Do you pick them both up Friday night or do you have to pick up Saturday's on Saturday?
You have to pick up each night the night of the event. So you can only pick up Fridays tickets on Friday and Saturday tickets on Saturday. Hope this was helpful!
Great video. My wife and I have never been to Universal but we scored meet-up tickets for both nights in June. Realistically, is there enough time to ride everything in those 2 nights. We are debating on getting day tickets also but don't want to tire out too early. Thoughts? We are staying at Royal Pacific and will have express passes also. Thanks!
You really should have plenty of time! Especially with express! You can get into the parks right at 5 (assuming it’s the same as Feb) and start tackling rides. Then, once the meetup starts, everything except Hagrid’s and maybe velocicoaster will be a ride now!
@@ThePughTwo I see, Well idk if I'll get to that, but I AM going back to Universal either this year, or early next year! My brother-in-law gets back from being deployed in August, so he'll need time to get used to being home. After that, my sister is gonna plan the return trip
How much fun would it be for there to an Orlando Informer meetup during HHN?!
That would be fantastic
5 minutes maximum wait for houses = awesomeness
I don't think anything could top that. I could die happy after that. Although I hope to keep on living 🙏
I would LOOOOVE an OI DURING HHN! Wonder how they would do that tho???
@@crystalledet791 😹
You two seriously have the most cinematic/high quality video/b roll in the theme park game, as a videographer it is appreciated 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻
So true! Very impressive

How fun! We hope you have an amazing time at the meetup and we appreciate you supporting us there! 🫶🏻

Drove 1,040 miles in one day for the Orlando Informer Meetup. Great tips for folks that would probably be applicable for 2023 fall and 2024 events!
Haha that’s amazing! We hope you had a great time at the event!!
Loved the video as usual. We plan on attending the next Orlando Informer (hopefully), because it just looks like so much fun.
Edit: Sitting here trying to wrap my mind around how you guys get such good audio at the park. It's so loud! Need to find a way to isolate voices.
How exciting! We hope you have a great time at the meetup! Audio in the parks is SO hard. It took us forever to figure out what we were doing lol

We just booked our first OI trip for next month, thanks for all your helpful tips and tricks! We hope to run into you guys 😊
That’s so exciting! We hope you have a great time and hope to see you in the parks, too!!

We’re so happy this was helpful!! We loved the passed appetizers in the soundstage, too. So fun!
will be there from May 28th until June 9th and already purchased our Meetup tickets for Friday the 2nd. Hope to run into you all.
That’s amazing! We’ll be there! And we hope you have a great time!!

Definitely was a little more tired than I would've liked near the end but stuck it out. Great video as always!
Haha it hits you hard by the time 1 am rolls around!
Glad we could briefly say hello to you guys. Saturday was very packed for an informer event! Wasn’t happy with the wait times 🤷♂️.
I agree, Saturday was super busy! Friday night was much better. It was our first meet up and we are hooked!! Can’t wait for November
@@carolynsandoval2944 Nice! We are gonna try it again on a Friday night! Thanks for input because we were wondering 👍
Do you know if the flash passes are still valid during this event ?
I didn’t make any of these mistake cuz I actually do my research before any event, we got there at 5pm and stayed until almost midnight back in 2019, my feet were killing me, but Taylor created the best thing on earth❤
That’s amazing!! The meetups are so much fun, we’re glad you make the most of it!
We were there last Saturday. Had a blast! It is amazing how empty the park was.
That’s awesome! It really is cool to experience the parks like that. It feels like you’re breaking the rules or something! Lol
These guys bring such great content and very helpful information every time!! We gotta get them to 50k!!

Going M-T next week with my daughter, cant wait! Would love to go to a OI meetup sometime though.
We hope you have a great time on your trip! And we hope you make it to a meetup sometime soon!
Thank you for this ! We are planning on coming down for the November one !
Absolutely! We hope you have an amazing time on your trip!
Great vid! Very useful
Thank you!!
It was great to meet you in the speakeasy! It was my 4th meetup. Another mistake is forgetting to take advantage of the shortcut between AOI and Universal from suess landing and rocking roller coaster. Saves waiting for hogwarts express or walking all the way to city walk
We love when the shortcut is open! It’s literally like a 2 min walk between the parks lol
Awesome video! Your past videos convinced me to finally get tickets for this event! I'm going in June with my wife and we're both very excited. :)
That’s amazing! We hope you have an awesome time on your trip!!
So much info in such a short video
Great job guys.
As always
Thank you, Alan!!

Haha we love it!! That’s amazing! You’re gonna have so much fun! And good luck moving!!!
Awesome tips. I love your videos.
Thank you so much! We appreciate you watching!
I was standing right by you guys on Friday night at the speakeasy. I kept looking at you bc I was like where do I know them from 😂😂😂. Next time
Oh that’s so funny! You might be in the video that’s coming out today, then! Lol
Ugggg . I missed you guys at Nov meetup and the one in Feb . One day I will meet you guys. Lol
Haha one day!! We’ll be there in June, too!
Unfortunately can only travel day of…and can’t get to our hotel before we head to the beach parks…hopefully the adrenaline will keep us going and we can sleep in before day 2.
Haha it’ll be worth all the fun you’ll have!!
What are typically the dates? Good info to know!

We went to the one on Friday. We’re skipping the one in June bc it’ll be way too hot and we plan to go to the ones in November and December
Lol we don’t blame you! We’re not excited for this summer 😂
Hey yall. My daughter and I are gonna try to do an Orlando Informer this year. Hopefully.
That’s so exciting! We hope it works out for you both!!
@@ThePughTwo Thank you my friends.
Gosh i think i did make all the mistakes….. except i did pregame with a nap. It was not enough to get me to the close of the speakeasy though. 😢
😂😂 you live and learn! At least you took a nap, though! That’s very important! Lol
Have you guy's ever played the mini golf course near the entrance before? Could be a good video idea
We have! We’ve talked about doing that, too. It would be so fun!
When you buy an Orlando informer ticket does that get you into both parks
After a certain time! You can get into the parks at 5 o’clock on the days of the event

4:13 - Bingo & that’s exactly how I ruined my OIM this past December🤦🏻♂️
😂😂 we’ve made that mistake a ton ourselves!
Are the merch stores also open throughout the night? And do you see more creepy crawlies at night? 👀
Haha we have not seen more creepy crawlies except at HHN! And yeah most of the merch stores are open as well!
Is it always the same restaurants that are open?
For the most part! They sometimes add special food items that you can’t get during the day to the existing restaurants, too!
Look at tyler and Anna in their glad rags at the speak easy
Oh you’ll get more of that soon. That was just a little preview! 😂
Tyler should be Crazy Dave from plants vs zombies for Halloween this year 🎃🤣
😂😂 I don’t have a clue who that is, but I’m gonna have to look it up now!
Boom goes the dynamite
Boom! 🔥🔥
Are the flash pasess still valid during these hours?
No, but you don’t need them. The event is at such a limited capacity pretty much everything but Hagrid’s will be a ride now!
@@ThePughTwo okay , thank you kindly. I meant to say express passes not flash passes. Sorry lol
When do you put out more videos ?
Is it just for universal studios or does it include islands was well?
It includes both parks!
It sounds like ya gotta be Orlando residents to take advantage of this. Am I right?
Absolutely not! Anyone can attend if you buy a ticket!
@@ThePughTwo I see, Well idk if I'll get to that, but I AM going back to Universal either this year, or early next year! My brother-in-law gets back from being deployed in August, so he'll need time to get used to being home. After that, my sister is gonna plan the return trip
do they have vegan options during the meet up events?
They do! Universal has gotten a lot better with vegan/veg options, and have several things throughout the parks!
The pretzels tasted like they were left over form the last OI event.
Mistake one - going.
Ooof freezing cold take 🥶
Can you elaborate?
I made the biggest mistake of all. Not going
There’s another one coming up in June! Lol
