How much food, in dollars, do you think you could eat at the OI meetup in a weekend?
$1M just in Butterbeer lol
Okay, I love this thumbnail!
😂😂 let's see it, then!
Thank you, Krystle!! We really appreciate it!
Most definitely in the hundreds. I may have to do a week-long fast to prepare
Have told many people here in Tennessee. This is the best way to do Universal parks. What you get for the price is so worth it. Little info on Pteranodon Flyers is the one ride that is never on Single Attraction Pass (It’s compensation they give out if something happens)
We miss Tennessee from time to time! Luckily we get to go home once every few months to see family!
The OI meetups are incredible and we always love attending!
I just bought my first Meet Up ticket after watching your videos!!! I’m super excited!
Haha we love it!! We’ll be there in June too. We hope you have an amazing time!
I'm going this Friday, alone. I can't wait. This will be my second one.
How exciting! We hope you had a great night last night!
Me and my husband just came back from our 1st Orlando informer Meetup this past weekend. We had the best time ever. Very well organized event.
That’s so exciting! We love hearing that you had a great time!!
The amount of free snacks I can eat knows no bounds.
Haha we were SO full by the end of the night! How can you say no when you can just grab whatever??
I love love love how you two edit your videos!!
I’ve been waiting for this!! I hope to see you guys in Dec!
It's finally here!! lol
Wow, what a cool event! Had no idea this was a thing. It’s surreal seeing the park so empty.
By the way, thank you both so much for your content. Your videos convinced me to try out HHN for the first time this year, and it was so much fun (even though I’m not usually a haunted house person)! Keep up the great work, y’all!
It's so much fun!! It's totally worth trying at least once. We're so glad you've been enjoying the videos and even went to HHN! I (Anna) am not a haunted house person either, but HHN is just the best. We're so glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching!!
You two are so silly and a fun loving way. Look forward to meeting you sometime in the future
We look forward to meeting you, too! We appreciate you watching all our videos!
Having so much FOMO seeing all the posts and videos from the meetup. We had a blast at it last year. Best way to do the parks.
We couldn’t agree more! It’s such an amazing event and just an awesome way to experience the parks!
You guys are so hilarious lol. Love it!!
Haha thank you! We’re so glad you enjoyed it!
Wow that looks like so much fun. Reminds me of the time my friends and I walked down the streets of islands of adventure sing at the top of our lungs because the park was closing in 30 minutes and was basically empty. We saw like one group of guys and they shouted good natured my at us. Empty parks at night are the best!
Empty parks are the best!! We had so much fun at the meetup. Once you go, there’s just nothing better! Lol
You guys are so creative! Loved the intro & concept of this video. We miss you both
Y’all are so sweet, thank you!! We miss y’all, too! Hopefully we’ll be out your way soon and can spend some time together!!
I love watching your channel. You look like you have so much fun together. Keep up the great work.
Thank you, Alex! We really appreciate you saying that!
The beginning had me thinking of Monsters Inc lol ("Always, I mean never go out in a blizzard."). Self serve included Butterbeer sounds like the most amazing thing ever lol. I too love fries & my wife & I love chain riding our favorite rides. The park benches part had me rolling lol.
Haha I love that movie! The food at the meetups is the best, it's so hard not to eat yourself into a coma! lol We're so glad you enjoyed it!
Your videos are getting better & better! I must be watching too many, because I had a dream you guys came over for dinner last night. 😂 Hope to say Hi to you guys at my 1st Meetup in Feb. We can all share a bench. 😊
😂🤣 oh my gosh, that’s too funny! We’re so glad you’re enjoying our videos, though! We’ve been trying to really improve on them, so we appreciate your feedback! We’ll definitely be around in February, so be looking for open benches! 😂🤣
This might have to be our favourite video from you guys! 👍🙌👍🙌👍😃😃😃
Oh my gosh, thank you!! We tried really hard to make this a good, fun video, and we're so glad you enjoyed it!! Thank you for watching, Oscar!
I love the OI Meetup! The food options keep getting better! The Raptor Wings at Thunderfalls Terrace were delicious!
Yes!! We love all the food. It’s so fun to snack around!
Thank you both for calling my attention to this event (again!). The next one is at the tail end of my family's Disney trip and I was able to snag a ticket and extend my stay without them. No finer way to end a Family Vacation than an extra dose of solo travel.
Oh that’s awesome!! We hope you have a great time at Disney, and we know you’ll love the meetup, too! We can’t wait for February!
Looking forward to the meet up on the 9th!! Awesome video as always!
We hope you have an amazing time!!
Another outstanding video guys
Thank you, Dougie!!
We laughed so hard at this one! Great video as always
Haha thank you! We’re so glad you enjoyed it!
Great video as always. Thanks for the laughs!
Absolutely! Thank you for watching!!
I just got back from Universal. Had such an amazing time. I we saw all the Orlando Informer signs and lines while there. It seemed amazing as I got a little glimpse while leaving after getting into Hargirds line at 6:50pm before park close. I am definitely going to look into buying tickets to the meet up next year.
That’s awesome, we hope you get a chance to go! The meetup is such a fun way to experience the parks. We’re glad you had a great trip, too!!
Y’all make the best videos!! 🫶
Thank you, Brandon! You’re so sweet!!
Loved this video! Great job!
Thank you!! We appreciate you watching!
You 2 really are living my dream 😍😃😃good things come to good people
Oh my gosh, Kevin, you're so sweet!! Thank you so much for all your continued support. We literally wouldn't be here without people like you!!
@@ThePughTwo and I’d never have come to universal without people like you 😍
Aww I wish I would have seen you guys I was there! What a fun time!
We’re sorry we missed you! We hope you had a great time, though!!
🤣😂😂😂😂😂 You guys are so funny !!!! Thank you !!
Haha thank you for watching! We’re glad you enjoyed it, Al!
Had no clue this existed until your videos. Want to do one so bad. Thank you for videos
They’re the best!! They have one coming up like next weekend, and winter meetup tickets go on sale June 6th!
@The Pugh Two yup. Got reminder set. Dont want to do this weekend cause I'm kinda important to be in town though off (job) but wish i could...doing November if i can get tickets. Considered june one though
$200 easily in both days. 😅
I LOVE the shot @4:27 😮💨🙌🏾🔥
I (Anna) love it, too! I said the same thing to Tyler when I was watching the final edit!
I would not have put my face on any park bench but good for y’all. 😆 Like the video and all the free food. 👍
😂🤣 you gotta do what you gotta do! We're so glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching!!
We are going to our very first meet up in June! We have been watching your videos to learn all about them and your videos are fantastic.
That’s amazing! You’re gonna have so much fun!!
Love this video, and no I’m not jealous at all 😂🤣
😂😂 we hope you make it to a meetup soon! Thank you for watching!!
@@ThePughTwo I hope to one day but I’m in the uk
I love y'all's videos keep it up miss seeing y'all :)
Thank you, Julia! We’re really working on the quality of the videos, but we’re hoping to get back to our normal 2/week soon!
@@ThePughTwo nice I can't wait to see them :) I'll keep looking to see
My wife and I are getting to do our first OI meetup next weekend. We are super excited
That’s so exciting!! We hope you have an amazing time!
I wish Disney’s After Hours events were like OI Meetup. The dec event will be my 5th one and I love it.
How cool would it be if they started doing events at Disney?!?
I’m an OI virgin but I’ll be there in February!!! Also a Mardi Gras virgin….and i got the dine & float package so i can throw beads! It’ll be a great 2 days and I’ll keep an eye out for you!
Oh my gosh you’re gonna love it! We’re super interested to see how the dine & float thing works out. We’ll be around, so keep an eye out for us!
1:48 - *WELL DONE, DRAGON!!*
😂😂
The Pop Warner football program rented out the park and all the football teams got to do all this in the video. FREE BUTTER BEER!
That’s awesome! That must’ve been so much fun!!
You guys are so great thank you I am saving up to go to universal in 2025 when I graduate and when epic world opens I hope we can meet then
That’s so exciting! Epic is gonna be absolutely amazing. You can guarantee we’ll be around for that! Lol
LOL great vlog!! 😂😂
Thank you, Sarah!
Loved this!!! 😂😂
Lol thank you!! We appreciate you watching!
@@ThePughTwo Of course!!! Any time
You guys are so entertaining loool
Haha thank you, you’re too sweet!
I don't know how you were in shorts in the cold lol! This video was great! Thanks as always!
Haha Tyler’s always in shorts! I think he got a little cold towards the end of the night, though lol
It's a Tennessee thang. I saw men in fur-lined hooded parkas, and cargo shorts and flip-flops.
HOLY CRAP! That’s me at expo eats! I worked that night
Oh my gosh, that’s so funny!
Idk what that is that Tyler has in his hands at 2:30 but i need it lol
Haha it’s the kong dog at the food cart right next to King Kong!
Oh…Dracula shooting his shot (with both of you!) 😂
😂🤣 I’m still not sure if he was shooting his shot or just trying to get a snack!
Most likely both😹
I thought I saw you waving in the RixFlix OI live stream!! 👋🏻 Hope to run into you when we come down in a few weeks! 🤩
Haha we did bump into him! We’ll be around, so keep an eye out for us!
So minute mark 1:27 has literally had me laughing for the last 5 days. Idk why lol😅
Lol it made me laugh, too! You can even hear it 😂😂 Tyler’s a mess, that’s for sure!
Manifesting that I’ll make it to an OI meet up one day!! It looks like you had a blast 🎉loved the Dracula interaction 😂
We hope you get to! It’s so fun!!
That looks like so much fun. Wish I could have an OI day. The low crowds do it for me
We hope you get to go to a meetup in the future! It really is a great way to experience the parks!!
We lived meeting you two at the meetup. We are looking forward to the next OI meet up we can go to.
Absolutely! It was so nice meeting you, too! We hope you get to go back soon!
It was nice to meet you both! (Redheads unite! ) 🤣 thanks again for the pizza recommendation!
It was so nice meeting you! We hope you enjoyed our recommendation! Lol
Hi Anna & Tyler! Great Video, looks like you two had a great time at the event. I will have to try one soon! Ken
Thank you, Ken! We hope you do! They’re so much fun.
I’ve already got the spreadsheet ready to find out…haha it’s going to be a fun birthday next year! I didn’t even know food was included!!
😂🤣 we love it! That’s so exciting! Which meetup are you going to next year??
The Dec one. Long time away but we’ve got 3-4 trips planned. I feel somewhat crazy but we did the math and with all of your money saving tips and unused flight vouchers we had from cancelled covid trips we can do it without breaking the bank. I’m so excited! I have not been to Universal in many years! My guy talked me into the trip because he loves universal. I subscribed to Orlando Informer after your video too. So thanks!
No street churros!!😂😅🤣
Haha we don’t suggest eating them!
I was waiting for this video to come out!! 😁
You guys need to do a food tour of the meet up hehehe
I finally decided I’m coming to the next one in February, I’m super excited!
How long was the line for Hagrids most of the night? Did they keep single riders line open?
I was thinking the same things! And also hoping for a food tour! haha
That’s so exciting!! No, they don’t keep single rider lines open as far as I know. We didn’t ride Hagrid’s, but when we walked by it was around 45 minutes!
Awesome it's almost like winning the lottery and hiring the whole park for yourself and friends
That’s exactly what it feels like! Lol
Planing a trip from Canada for next December and hopping to get to at least one night of meetups. ( we will be there for 4). So if your at the one I get to go too, I'd totally lay on a bench with you!
Oh wow, that’s so exciting! If we run into you, we’ll get a picture laying on benches 😂😂
Hi Anna ant Trevor was fantastic meeting you both , sorry if I talked your ears off ! My Wife and self had the same problems with getting any toppings or having " limitations " on ice cream choices. I reported it to Orlando Informer they said they have a unhappy conversation with UO management, since FULL service on the food items offered was supposed to be available , ie. Condiments on ice cream ect., Please check in Dec to see if this was fixed. Quite often we got the excuse we are a " 3rd " party doing the service at food and drink venues to reduced service on the offered food for the OI meet-up or the venues purposely made bottle necks to slow down food service reducing profit loss , functionality of convenience. For example Krusty Burger they forced everyone into one line, we wasted 40min of our meet-up time, I was in a ECV put into a line I couldn't get out of ( metal rails ) even if I wanted to leave 😔
Hi Sean, it was so nice meeting you, too! We enjoyed getting to talk to you and your wife! We’ve heard several people were upset about the ice cream toppings 😂 it wasn’t a big deal to us, but we could see how Universal could really save themselves some money doing things like that. Just part of it, unfortunately, but overall the event is run extremely well!
take me with youuuuuuuuuuuu 🤣🤣🤣
There are plenty of meetups next year!! 😁😁
Hope to go to an OI meetup one day!! Hopefully soon! 😅 is the meetup in both parks? That’s amazing! Told my hubby that’s my dream vaca 😂
it is both parks and there is even a road between minions and Seuss landing that they open up so you don't have to walk all the way around.
It is in both! We hope you get to go to one next year, they’re so much fun!!
I feel like they would buy out all of universal butter beer if they could. Save some for us!
😂🤣 it’s so good! Lol
We all like French fries...lol
That looks like fun
It’s so much fun!!
I missed you guys in the park
We’re sorry we missed you, too!
I would love to go to one of those.
You should! They’re so fun!!
I think this is my favorite video so far! Really enjoyed this style. I’ve never heard of this event until now. Sounds awesome! What were the wait times likes for the Hagrid’s or VelociCoaster ? I think that plays a factor into my decision.
Oh my gosh, thank you! We’ve been trying some different stuff, so we really appreciate you saying that. We didn’t ride either of those, but I would assume in the 20-40 minute range. We’ve heard Universal is bad about overestimating the Hagrid’s wait time (even during the meetups) to discourage people from getting in line, though 😬😂
just got to orlando went to disney springs and universal is tommorow
That’s so exciting! We hope you had an amazing time on your trip!
There is a spot at our local theme park where the dads lay down on walls and benches and sleep. I wish I had a picture I could share.
😂🤣 oh my gosh that’s so funny!! We’d love to see that!
Hey Guys, awesome work as always. Where is the self serve hor butter beer? We're heading to OIM Dec 2nd.
That’s so exciting!! It’s in the normal locations, but they just have cups ready for you to walk up and grab. It’s so convenient!
Lying on a park bench is that a new way to show how busy a park is?
Lol that's gonna be our new "business" meter. How many benches can we lay on 😂🤣
That's @Super Enthused on 0:44 time mark l. you guys should be friends by now. Do couples night out series or something lol 💜 Love u all.
We love Sam and Jackie!! We definitely stopped and talked to them after that take, and left it in as an Easter egg lol. They’re super sweet!!
Will y’all be at the 9 & 10 meetup!? It’ll be my first. Super excited!!!
We will be! You’re gonna have so much fun!
We are going to Universal for the first time ever in 2 weeks!!! I’m so excited 🎉 Your videos have helped me plan so much! I have a question, if my sister lost her ID can she still enter the park with her mobile ticket and fingerprint scan? For a 3 day park ticket
We would call Universal to make sure! I don’t think you’ll need your ID to get into the parks, but they’ll probably ask for it when you pick up your tickets.
@@ThePughTwo thank you for replying! It’s a mobile ticket on the phone, so she won’t have to pick up her ticket 😄 we will call Universal to make sure!
I was there and I saw you guys in the Simpsons land!
Oh that’s awesome! We hope you had an amazing time!!
@@ThePughTwo I did, it was first time and I cried a lot in all the Harry Potter parts! Dream come true
Is the meetup for adults only. we will be down at the end of May and first of June for 12 days and would like to go but we will have 11 year old with us. Ok, I watched the video again and watched closer and saw kids. great video guys.
You can absolutely attend with kids! I’m not sure if they have discounted tickets depending on age or not, but we saw some as small as infants there!
Oh man it’s like VIP 😢❤
It really is!
Yeah....going to chain ride velocicoaster if possible...maybe for 30 minutes to an hour. .
We can’t wait to hear how it goes! Lol
@@ThePughTwo i just hope for the opportunity. How much can the body take????...
LFG!!!!!!!!!
😂🤣
I think I was behind you guys in line at Louies on night 2? I wasn’t 100% sure or I would’ve said hello 😂
Oh no, you should've asked if it was us!! I (Anna) was wearing a goofy matching sweatsuit that you can see a few times in this video. We hope you had a great time at the meetup!!
@@ThePughTwo there’s always next time! Hope the meatball sub was good :D
We've been to several meetups and have yet to get the ride the ptranodon flyers
I think it can only get a few hundred people on per night. Each time a bird goes, only one person can be on it because of the weight restrictions, so the line goes really slowly! We had been to at least 4 before we finally got drawn for the lottery.
I was working the event at kang & Kodos but I didnt see you guys 😭 i wish i could've
Oh no, we’re sorry we missed you! We’ll be at the two December weekends, too, so maybe we’ll see you then!
I will be at the parks the weekend if Dec 10th & 11th. I believe there is an OI meetup that weekend. I do not have ticket to the meet up, will the affect my time in the parks?
It won’t! The meetups are an after hours event, so people with a meetup ticket just get to stay later. We hope you have a great time on your trip!!
Coming to Universal for the first time 2/4-2/8 and considering adding the meetup on 2/4 to our plan (2/4 wasn’t going to be a park day as we fly in around 5). You mentioned in another video that meetup attendees get assigned a park to start in. Can you then hop to the other park at any time, or do you have to wait for after regular park hours. We’re hoping we could also check out the concert in US, even if we were ‘assigned’ to IOA. Thanks!
Your “assigned” park is just the side you’re supposed to check in on, then you can do whatever you’d like! You do have to have your meetup ticket to swap between the two parks, but that’s it!
@@ThePughTwo Thanks for the helpful info. We bought our tickets yesterday, and will come right to the Meetup after flying in Saturday and checking in at the hotel, followed by our previously scheduled park days. We are so excited!
Hi! We just got our OI Mert up email for our very first meet up for the 9th!! We had to cancel our HHN trip, thanks Ian, so this is our replacement trip!! QUESTION(s): the email says we can get in line at 3. Should we que up sooner? We have annual passes, so we're good to go in and just stay, right? THANK YOU!
Oh my gosh that’s so exciting!! And yes, you can pick them up starting at 3, but your annual pass will get you in all day! We say just pick them up when it’s convenient for you!
The pugh crew when is the meet up and what time I am a pass holder
Orlando Informer holds several meetups throughout the year! Passholders don’t automatically get access, you have to buy a separate ticket through Orlando Informer. You can find more info on their website!
Do you need an invitation to attend the informer meetups or is it just a more expensive ticket?
Oh no! You can purchase tickets on their website. They sell a 2-night ticket (Friday & Saturday nights bundled together) for less than a 2-day park ticket with express. Plus it includes all your food! If you’re someone that’s just wanting to go for a few days to experience the parks, it’s a great value!
In your opinion is the summer meetup or the winter meetup better?
They’re both amazing! It really just depends the weather you’re hoping for. They also sometimes have seasonal offerings in winter if it lines up with the holidays at Universal, but that’s really the only differences.
Anyone else notice Breedlove in the Pugh Queue 👀
will they have one 2nd week in January?
Unfortunately no! They’ve already announced their dates for 2023, you can find them on their website!
Orlando, informer - Is that a yearly membership or something like that ? How it works ?
Orlando Informer is a company that rents out the parks and sells tickets to their event. There’s a link in the description of this video to their website where you can purchase tickets!
What was the longest wait time?
That’s a great question! I think we saw Hagrid’s around a 50 minute wait, but I doubt the line was actually that long.
I wish I could meet Dracula!@
Dracula was so fun! We’d love to see him around the parks more often!
If you can't eat the food (dietary restriction, please don't judge), is it still worth the cost of a ticket to go to a meet up?
We would never judge!! And we still think it could be worth it because it’s basically like having express. Better, a lot of the time, actually. Plus, you can get free bottles of water or other non-alcoholic drinks with the included food!
There are locations that dietary items like veg, and non-gluten , Krusty Burger food court venue has offerings In Lisa's section for example, wife and I are diabetics we had to pace ourselves, test glucose levels and inject more insulin if needed and bring your favorite sweetener like Spenda , but the standard ones are available, grab some crystal light to use with water.
1st
You did it!!
#1 prank..wow
Is this a media event or can anyone buy tickets for this? This sounds like the perfect date night.
Anyone can buy tickets! The Orlando Informer website (where you can buy tickets) is linked in the description of this video!
Be warned the OI meet-up events are very popular, find out the ticket sales release dates and jump on buying them immediately, they sell out within hours of release , especially the 2 day tickets, then next find out when the resort discounted rates are available and grab the deal as fast as you can for the resort of your choice, these are also grabbed up quickly. Cabana Bay is one of the most popular. Note if you miss the resort group OI meet-up discount opportunity, and you have a UOAP there may still be a possibility of getting a 30% discount if the resort has openings for it, these are limited too. Good Luck !
