What is something you typically skip, but can't wait to try in the parks!?
Skipped rip ride so we would have at least one big coaster to look forward to when we go back.
Bathroom breaks, large meals, resting....NO TIME!!!
Oh and Fast & Furious, for obvious reasons 🤣
@@delbert1 eating and bathroom breaks are for the weak!
Fast and Furious 😂
I’m addicted to this channel. I just got back from universal and still can’t stop watching all the vids. You guys are the best
Thank you so much! ❤️ We can’t tell you how much we truly appreciate that! Hope you had an amazing time!
“NET!” Plus the sound effect 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
🤣😂
Love the puggy plush you picked out!
Haha thank you! He was very soft!
The little water slide in Fievel's Playland between ET and Woody's coaster is great fun, too, even for adults. Maximum slide with minimal wet.
Haha that's good to know! Since we don't have kids we typically avoid the play areas 🤣🤣
I loved that animal show. I had to watch it twice and they had different dogs the second show.
Animal actors is so cute!! We’ve heard it changed just about every show depending on what animals are currently in town, etc.
Anna is a Winner😎
She is the biggest winner!
Do it for Islands! Y'all are the only park tour guides I want to watch!!
😂🤣 We actually did a very similar video in Islands, we just didn't title it the same way. It was the one where we explored me ship the Olive!
I feel like animal actors/ horror make up are the only shows that harken back to OG universal (learning about the movies) with audience interaction. sorta similar in vein to the Alfred Hitchcock show, murder she wrote post production show, etc
We love both of those shows so much!
Didn’t get a chance to finish it yet, but obligatory comment to help boost search results. Thanks for the content.
You are so sweet! Thank you for always supporting us!
I ADORE the Animal Actor's Show. My sisters and I went to Universal for five days in 2019 and went to the show every single day as a fun afternoon break.
It’s so nice to sit for a little bit! Also, we’re curious! Did the show change at all day to day? We would imagine they have like a rotation of animals they go through.
Animal Actors in Universal Hollywood was one of the first attractions to keep people happy while they waited to get on the Tram tour in late 60s early 70s. It made sense to have shows that leveraged the talented people and animals that Universal Studios already had.
We love little facts like this so thank you for sharing! We had no clue it was part of the tram tour!
You guys are great! So glad I found this channel! My wife and I are universal junkies (annual preferred passholders) and love to come down as much as we can and can always learn something new and fun from you!
Thank you!!
Thank you so much Robert! We are happy that you all are enjoying it! Hopefully we run into you in the parks one day!
Just found your channel today and I absolutely love you guys! ❤️
You both flow so well together!!
Awh, thank you Lisa! We appreciate that. Thank you for watching!
I get a prescribed anti dizziness/vertigo also helps with nausea med before traveling that may be an option for Tyler. It’s like a stronger Dramamine..
That might be what it takes at this point! Thank you for the tip!
@@ThePughTwo absolutly i am new to the whole vertigo thing. They have been a life saver.
Just wanted to thank you guys we went to universal last year watched your videos and thanks for the tips and explaining the refillable cups and how they express pass works hope your channel continues to grow thank you
You are so welcome! Our one wish is to share our love of the parks and help others have a good time while they are there! Thank you for taking the time to come back and comment this. Comments like this really make our days better and we can’t tell you how much they mean to us!
They also do change out the dogs once a while
Thats awesome! We love the doggies!
Love that you guys are wearing your robes…..I live in my Gryffindor robes the entire time I’m at the parks. So cute to see a ravenclaw and hufflepuff together.
Aww thank you so much! We were so happy that it was chilly enough to wear them without being hot!
Oh, I thought the theme was trying to torture Tyler.
😂😂 this made me (Anna) laugh out loud! I think I succeeded in doing that, too!
Of course you'll do a video like this in IoA! Can't play favorites!
Congrats on finally seeing the Animal Actors. You never know when a critter will go off-script, so the show changes each time.
This is true haha! Yeah we will definitely go back to it from time to time. We were there not terribly long ago when one of the dogs was running around freely up around Minions!
I love that you finally got to wear your robes in park. 😍💛🖤
We were so happy and excited! It made the day seem more fun!
I'm with you, Tyler! The only ride that makes me sick is the Simpsons. It'll ruin my day if I go on it.
It’s a rough one, for sure!!
I always liked the animal show ( have not been since 2006 )
It was so much fun! But then again, we love animals so we shouldn't be surprised.
Animal theme? Woodpecker, chicken, pug, fish, animal actors?
That is actually brilliant.. like.. we aren’t smart enough to have seen that! Haha it was just the fact that all of those things were in one area of the park!
@@ThePughTwo ha! I'm what you'd call your classic over thinker. 😂
Definitely do one in Islands!
We will work on it!
Another awesome video🙌🙌
Thank you!
Love it. Definitely love to see Islands too
We will make it happen!
Pteranodon Flyers. Doing it in April with my daughter... because.. .you need a kid to go on it lol
Yeah haha thats our problem! Gonna have to borrow one from someone sometime lol!
@@ThePughTwo I thought you can ride without one during the big meetup?
That you've never went to animal actors! WOW! We loved going and it was fantastic! Loved all the antics and especially the Berner
Yeah we had just never taken the time but now we are so so happy that we did! It was super cute!
You guys are so awesome! I hope to see you guys one day at the park.
Aww thank you so much! We would love that!
Slytherin homies!
🟢🟢🟢
you guys are so funny. love your ball throws and catching the fish!
Thank you!!
My wife and I are going to Universal early March for our 20th anniversary. Watching all your videos will help so much. Thank you!
We will be there early march for our 2nd anniversary! We hope you guys have an amazing trip and happy early anniversary!
@@ThePughTwo Thank you. Happy Anniversary to you guys also. We're going March 5th and 6th
New subscriber!😊 I love y’all’s videos! ❤️
Thank you! We really appreciate it!
Love the robes!!! Think we’re gonna get ours this weekend when we get there!😁😁
Thank you! We truly suggest getting them at Madam Malkins to get the full experience!
Totally agree the Simpson ride = vomit comet ☄️
It gets me every time!
I thought you were going to say "Ride F&F" at the end lol
😂😂 oh no, we we’re still wanting to enjoy our day!
@@ThePughTwo 🤣🤣 true, true. But you ended the video by saying you were going to end the video by doing something you hate lol. I was "ride F&F" 🤣
The shame with carnival games is that they make the balls heavier or lighter than normal so the ball doesn't throw the way you are used to. They also make the basketball hoops slightly smaller. And, and, and... All in all, they cheat the customers who are paying big $$$ to prevent them from getting a price that costs around a dollar. Good job keeping a smile on your face. 😁
Lol it was still fun to try! I wanted to win for my ego, but I also didn’t wanna carry a big toy around, so it worked out!
Our family literally just got back home to Ohio from Universal Studios a few hours ago. We spent 5 days there and had a blast. Don't know if you have ever been to it, but our family had a good time at the Horror Make-Up Show. It was only 25 minutes long and was a good way to rest our feet and get some good laughs.
The horror makeup show is so good!! The actors are so good!
It was hilarious!!! I am so glad we did it!
The Horror Make-Up show is a hoot! We have seen it multiple times and just love the audience interaction! We hope you guys had an amazing time in the parks!
@@ThePughTwo We did! I watched several of your videos before we left to get some tips and ideas on things to do (and not to do).
My husband and I are here till the 15th. Hoping I see y’all this week!
We hope that we make it down there before then!
Going there in April. Hope to see you both there
We would love that!
The wrist action was better than I was expecting on basketball! Good job 👍🏼
Haha Like I said, she is a D1 College Athlete!
Animal Actors is one of our favorite things in the park, we do it on just about every trip into Studios. The shows in general are half the park to us, both the indoor and outdoor shows. The rides are something we do between shows. :D We would love to see more shows in Islands--they need to get something going in those two stage areas that are closed--the one between Marvel Island and Toon Lagoon, and the old Sinbad Theater.
The shows are part of the experience in our opinion! We have never seen that big stage in Toon Lagoon used which is CRAZY!
I have never done the games in the parks
This was our first time!
Great video. Currently in the parks now also doing things we never tried. Hogwarts light show,finally had a butterbeer,and also animal actors. Raptor encounter tomorrow hopefully
Kids had pizza tots for first time also. The hype is real
That’s awesome! It sounds like you’re having a great time at the parks. We’re glad the pizza tots were a hit! You’ll love the raptor encounter, too.
@@ThePughTwo thank you guys for the content that helps me maximize our experience. Keep it up
YES please do Islands!! 😄
We will work on it!
You should do a video on the queues! Which ones are different for the regular lines and express!
We may or may not have a video coming out about that next week!!
Would love to see this for studios as well!
We will make it happen!
I just got back from a Mon. - Friday trip (Feb). The mid-week crowds were soooo low. I, literally - no joke, did EVERY ride and EVERY show / parade (except the Cinematic Celebration which I didn't know only happened on Monday) It was so much fun! I can't wait to go back!!
That sounds amazing! We are so jealous! We hope you get to go back soon!
@@ThePughTwo - Already planning the next one!!
I can't wait to go in Oct. I can't wait to try some motion rides.
They are all so much fun! October is one of our favorite times to visit!
The robes literally embody what me and my sister wear to the Universal parks. I’m a Ravenclaw and my sister is a Hufflepuff
Thats awesome! We were so happy to finally get to wear our robes in the parks. Its typically way to hot for us!
@@ThePughTwo - Well, that’s Florida weather for you. Hot one moment, chilly/rainy the next. It’s full of surprises
Woody Woodpeckers nuthouse coaster is a lot of fun for a quick pick me up in the afternoons while at the parks
We think its cute and Tyler wants them to let him pull the whistle in the beginning 🤣
@@ThePughTwo Well I hope he gets a chance lol
You rarely catch shows? OMG, you NEED to do Bourne Stuntacular! We did shows on our lazy day and were blown away by how amazing Bourne is. The practical special effects in that show are insane!
We watch some of them fairly frequently! We love Bourne Stuntacular! We really want to see them bring that technology to other rides!
Agreed. Simpsons makes me so nautious.
Its rough on me!
We played the Simpsons games with our kids the last time and ended up with so many stuffed animals we did leave one….. or two in a kids play area when they weren’t looking lol. I hope some other kid got to take it home
Haha we hope so too!
Still have not tried the tacos! It's a must on our next trip.
They’re so good! We’ve tried all three and you can’t go wrong. They’re not like Antojitos good, but for theme park tacos they hit the spot!
We are going next week and I can’t wait!!!
We can’t wait to hear all about it!
@@ThePughTwo are you guys still going to be there?
@@melissab0515 unfortunately no! It’s looking like our next trip will be in March!
Cajun dry rub wing but I’ve never seen them there👍😎
Hmm we didn't see that on the menu, but it couldn't be worse than what we had!
Try and go to Universal Studios Hollywood in California and catch the Animal actors show there - its ran by the same the same company that dose the Florida on the All of the Animals and trainers in both shows are from a company called Birds and Animal Unlimited
We can't wait to get out to Hollywood this year!
Island video!!!
We can do that!
I'm sad that Tyler can't enjoy The Simpson! It's one of my favorite rides! Something that we usually skip are the water rides in Toon Lagoon. But whenever we are entertaining guests in the parks (especially first-timers), we usually let them decide about those two rides. If you come prepared, those rides are spectacular! But if you don't bring dry shoes and socks (stowed in a locker), I find it miserable to continue in the parks with wet, squishy feet. We've never seen the "Animal Actors" show, except on CZcams. So upon your recommendation, we shall see it next time! In December, we missed seeing Borne Stuntacular for the first time. I could kick myself, it just slipped our minds!
Its ok, Im lucky enough to be able to enjoy everything else so I feel fortunate! We love the area and the theming, just can't handle the ride. Absolutely! Just bring a change of clothes and some fresh socks and you're set! We can't wait to hear what you think about it. We are animal lovers so we couldn't help but ooo and ahhh the entire show.. just wish we could pet them haha! We highly recommend the Bourne Stuntacular as well, awesome technology they are using there!
Flight of the hippogriff is better then woody woodpecker
We 100% agree! We love Hippogriff!
Thank you for the ! at the end of my name, y’all so sweet. Have y’all done any of the other shows?? Just seeing if that is something we should make time during our 4 days at the park.
We had to do at least something to make up for accidentally leaving you off so you get EMPHASIS! 😂. We have done many of the shows and there are several of note. Horror Makeup show is a ton of fun and the Bourne Stuntacular is amazing. If you are a Potter fan, all of the shows they do in Diagon Alley are a MUST!
@@ThePughTwo the Horror makeup show sounds so much fun. I think being there for 4 full days and a half day we should get it all in
Can you please do one for Islands of Adventure?
We'll keep this in mind, thanks!
The Simpsons always makes me sick too! I prefer not to ride it but my son likes the Simpsons so if I take him, I’ll have to ride it with him. 🤢😬😱🤣
I should just close my eyes or look down the whole time to be honest. We love that area and really wish that we could ride it all the time.. but its so bad with motion sickness!
That squeeze into woodys is a no
Haha they are smaller carts!
I have a picture SOMEWHERE of me with my prizes from the Simpson's area games, when I find it, I will send it over! I think y'all should definitely do an Islands one of this video!! Also, this next trip, because we don't have kids with us, I will 100 percent be skipping that damn Simpson's ride! I am with you Tyler, vomit city right there! It gives me a bit of a headache as well! Have a happy day! Oh, FUINA was watching this last night, and I go, Is that Anna's voice I hear?! hahaha
Thats awesome! Can't wait to see it! Yeah, I don't know what it is about it but he can't handle it. Tell Fuina we said hello! 🤣
@@ThePughTwo He said hello!! I have to figure out where the picture is. I will get back to you. Great video Pughs!!
OMG! The Simpsons ride makes me so sick, too! Never again!
It’s the worst for me!
I can get motion sickness on the Forbidden Journey. They have air that blows on your face to reduce/stop you from getting motion sickness. I'm taller than most and so the air that blows is not in the right spot, so I have to shrink down a little and keep my head back to help.
We had no idea thats what that air was for! How interesting! Thank you for this!
I knew y’all would get out of riding on fast and the furious 😂
Hey we have to do it anyway possible haha 😂
Veloc what? Better finish that sentence......Velocicoaster 😂
Fun video! Love you guys! Hey do you guys get photo pass? I saw they only have 1- day or 3-day option from their app. We will be there for 5 days. I want to say I bought one that's good for the entire year a couple of years ago when we went. Is that option still available? Maybe only available at the park?
Thank you so much! We haven't ever gotten one but we have been considering it for some time! So as far as we know, they still offer the yearly one and its not that much more expensive than the 3 day, but you do have to get that in the parks! Hope this helps.
@@ThePughTwo Thank you so much for the info. Phew, I will just wait to get the pass when we get to the park then. In the meantime, I will be watching all your videos!
Hi!!
Howdy!
you forgot 1 thing you never do… FAST AND FURIOUS
Hey listen.. we had to enjoy the day to a degree.. no reason to have the worst day in the parks 🤣
@@ThePughTwo 😂 😂
I see what you did there, "who knew" the tots were better 😏 😉
Who knew... the whos did!
I did the water slide last trip. I didn't remember getting that wet that type of slide before. I got drenched.
Haha which slide? There are few that will soak you!
The fivel play land slide. Near woodys coaster.
Do it in islands of adventure
We have a similar video for islands!
Can at some point y’all do a video in how to and when to plan for a trip for Horror Nights? Like when do I look to book a hotel. When is best to book it with an annual pass. Stuff to that extent.
I’m really wanting to go for the 2022 horror nights with my new brother in law.
Thanks for answering this in the live stream!!
Hey Zach! So we touch on this throughout our videos, but go ahead and book your rooms now! The earlier you book, the cheaper the rates tend to be and you just have to put a deposit down right now. Then, you can watch the passholder rates to see if the prices drop. Also, as tickets for HHN get released, you can snag those too. Hope this helps! Let us know if you have any questions!
@@ThePughTwo thank you! I saw the live stream when y’all talked about it some. I really appreciate it! Y’all are the bomb
I WAS THERE
Lol we hope you had a great time!
We typically skip all the carnival games, the 2 water rides that get you completely soaked at IOA, and Poseidon’s Fury. We haven’t done the Horror Make-Up Show since we have our young daughter with us, but always make time for the Bourne Stunt Show that she does enjoy. Would love to see what you typically skip at IOA. 😁
Yeah we also skip the water rides... which means we will be getting wet when we make that video for you in islands haha!
🎉
Thanks for doing the carnival games. It looks like the games went from $6 to $8. Is it true you can just buy the plush?
Yeah we aren't sure what the pries have changed to. The 6 for $25 didn't seem like too bad of a deal! We have heard that as well, but we aren't sure!
Not drink butter beer?
… let’s not push it Jesse!
Noice vid
Thank you!
Np
What is the one merch item that is your least favorite and the best one to buy ?
We love our wands and robes from the Wizarding World... least favorite is hard because we never buy anything we don't want. We would say we have some shirts that we don't much care for anymore!
Hey Guys, Hows Velocicoster compared with Hulk on motion sickness? is it much better or just a little better? the reason I asked is that I did Hulk one-year, my first ride of the park in the morning, and had to go back to the Hotel because it really mess me up
We have never gotten sick on either so its hard to say. We will say that VC is much smoother and way less rough than Hulk which we love about it!
@@ThePughTwo ok Thanks so much for the reply 🤞🏼
@@ThePughTwo I agree. Hulk gave me a headache and hurt my neck as well at Rip Ride Rocket but VC and Hagrids did not.
You chose wisely in the Simpsons food court. DONT EVER GET "THE CLOGGER" burger!!!
Haha we’ve had it! It’s one of Tyler’s favorites!
@@ThePughTwo the heaviest of lunch fare.
@@philipwarner892 Anna has misspoken lol! I have had it once and it was ok. I can’t eat it especially when it is hot in the parks. It’s too much haha
@@ThePughTwo I ate one in July and was planning on doing Hulk and Velocicoaster after lunch...
Didn't happen.
Kinda shut me down for like 2 hours. Felt like I ate a cinder block.
...good Park ti I guess.. Don't eat SOOO MUCH FOOD that you can't do coasters or walk several miles in serious heat.
@@philipwarner892 oh yes! We don’t eat much throughout the day and save the vast majority of our food for dinner time. We’ve learned! Lol
How many times a year do you all go to universal?
5-8 is good estimate!
Can you send the prizes back to your hotel room if you are staying on property?
We think we've heard that, but we honestly aren't sure because that it typically when you purchase something!
Can't you send stuff back to the room since your staying on property?
If you aren’t checking out the next day, you absolutely can!
Theme is.... you are newlyweds.... So I say 👶
Haha well there are some problems with that!
Going to remind you about the ginger capsules for motion sickness (and nausea in general). It works - although I still would likely avoid that motion simulator...
Thanks for the update!
We appreciate it! We have been looking at them! This video was shot before you recommended them to us. We will let you know how they work next time we are in the parks! Thank you for the tip!
@@ThePughTwo Awesome! Sometimes I drop a comment to just help drive the CZcams algorithm :)
Just didn't see you
Maybe you’ll see us next time!
I have a friend who live in FL and told us unless you get a discount the midway games are not a good deal.
We would assume they aren’t a good deal haha, but they were fun!
oh man did they just raise the price on the annual passes?!?!?!? WHY!!
We just say that... stay tuned for a video tomorrow!
@@ThePughTwo and I saw that video too LOL talk about missing out. oh man but it's ok. The family and I have been watching your videos to prepare for our first-ever universal trip. THank you so much for all the information and "the beard tip" and looking forward for tomorrow's video! stay safe you!!
We’ve never played the games and never will. We do talk about them lots….”how on earth do enough ppl play these games to make it worth them staffing them?!” It’s a mystery really 🤔
Haha what’s funny is how busy we have seen the games! We have seen literal lines build up at a few of them which is crazy!
@@ThePughTwo that is crazy, I will never understand! We’ve never seen them busy but to be fair, we always go at slow times of the year 🤷🏻♀️
Are you a Hufflepuff/Ravenclaw couple? So are we 🙂💛🖤💙🤎🙂
Yeah we are! That’s awesome!
I got back recently (I'm think I got there the day you left!). I like the kiddie rides...we rode most with no kids in tow. I'd like to see you do the water rides...all of them. Anything that gets ya wet (is: don't skip One fish two fish red fish blue fish). Also...love your videos, and sorry we missed you!
We enjoy them too, especially hippogriff! Lol.. we will do a video like that this summer!
We have never done animal actors either... thought about it several times, but like you it just never fit into the agenda. I've never done tperanodon flyers either... don't have any kids lol
It was super cute and we will definitely be doing it again! Haha neither have we!
Those throws were rough....sorry...😅
Lol I tried! 😂
@@ThePughTwo well one day ypu can be on tylers netting level...expert.
Since you mentioned Dollywood can you do some videos of that as well?!
Its something we have definitely considered doing! We love going up there!
@@ThePughTwo I’m going in October and staying at the DreamMore resort and would love your tips! You two are always so genuine in your videos. Keep up the great videos!
