The bridge troll story happened at night and Anna was truly terrified 😂😂
🤣
Ive seen a few things about all the different sounds around the parks particularly in Toon Lagoon, which I think is fun and unique.
I always thought everyone was joking about that! I thought is was a Dora The explorer reference😂😂. Thank you for sharing this information. My family and I have been to universal more than 50 times and I didn't know half this stuff existed!
We saw u guys we were they ones who asked what video r u making?
I remember that video. You could see the fear on her face lol
We (my wife and three children (who were shocked to see you)) met you just as you were about to shoot the scene on the ruby pass. You are both such authentic, positive people. Thank you for being you!
Oh yes, we remember that! It was so nice meeting you all! We hope you had a wonderful day at the parks, and thank you for all your kindness and support! We appreciate it more than you know ❤️❤️
That’s my Jurassic Park obsessed son naming the dinosaur! Both my You Tube obsessed boys were super excited to have made it into the video. 😂. I used your videos to plan this first family vacation so it was awesome to meet you both in person.
Haha that’s so sweet! We love it! We hope y’all had a great time on your trip, and we hope you get to check back on Barry soon!
Guys, this is my second time complaining that your videos are too short!! 😂 seriously though, I could watch you two at the parks all day! Thanks for sharing some lesser-known tips and tricks!
😂😂 hopefully we’ll have some longer ones soon! We just try not to drone on and on about tips and bore people! Lol
Oh man, those terms and conditions at the bottom of the Mummy Certificate were INCREDIBLE. They really think of everything.
I had to pause and stop and read them LOL
😂😂 I had to go back and read them after reading this comment! I didn’t pay any attention when we got it lol
FUN FACT: Dole Whip is also coming to grocery stores. Not sure how it will be compared to the one you can get while out, but definitely worth a try!
It’s at stores now! I’m super excited to get it today!!
That’s amazing!! I feel like Disney people that aren’t local will LOVE that lol
That team member is awesome who announced pet peeves’ name! We encountered her twice during our trip last week and she was such a pleasure both times!! Saw her in Madame Malkins and Borgin and Bourkes!
Also, my husband, dad and I received Rubeus passes on our last night in the park because there were technical difficulties. I hope my dad who lives in Florida goes back to the park to use them before they expire!
She was amazing!! We gave her a UO fist bump on twitter to show our appreciation. We hope your dad uses the Ruby’s too! Lol
I work at the park. Actually even if the pass does expire, you still get a certain grace period that you could use them. Hagrid’s will either directly replace the ruby pass or if it’s a bit longer than guest services will replace it. Can’t wait too long though, then it’s truly expired
It was such a pleasure meeting you guys yesterday! We’ve been going to universal for years and never knew of anything in the video. Thank you 🙏🏼
It was so nice meeting you, too!! We hope you enjoy checking some of these things out, too!
My oldest got to name the hatchling raptor while we were there in March. She was so excited when they handed her the certificate.
That’s so sweet!!
You two are adorable. You can completely see the love you have for each other - and enjoyment of being together! Love your energy - enjoyable without being too much.
You’re so sweet, thank you so much! We’re so glad you’re enjoying our videos, and we really appreciate you watching!
Thank you for all the great info. Watching Anna reaction to the adoption ceremony is priceless. Great video as always.
😂😂 it was so adorable! The TM did such a great job with it, too!
Love your channel! My wife and I are from Switzerland and your channel helped us a lot to really enjoy Universal during our visit last January
Thank you so much! We’re so glad our videos have been helpful, and we appreciate you watching!
I’m definitely getting that dole whip!!! You guys are so awesome with all these updates. The tips will add so much to our trip 💜
It’s so good!! We hope you have a wonderful time on your trip, too! Thanks for watching
I didn't know about the height certificate! What a cool way to handle that situation! Thanks for all the insider info. 😁
We thought so too!! Definitely a way to thwart a major tantrum lol
The certificate is such a great idea! I love how i learn something new, even after being at Universal more times than i can count 😊
Right?? It just makes us wonder what else we don’t know about! Lol
Pet fur is an accessory, that is never out of style. Hi from North Alabama. Good to see both of you in great health.
Lol we love it! That’s what I’m gonna start telling people that come to our house 🤣
Ok that witch in Weasleys who announced your pigmy puff was amazing lol 😂
Right?? She KILLED it lol
My wife and I discovered Knockturn alley by complete accident. I wondered down the alley way because I was looking for a cool place to relax since we were there for a while. I ended up walking in and disappearing into the darkness. My wife couldn't find me. I ended up emerging from the shadows and telling her "YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS!!!!!!"
Haha that’s so funny! That must’ve been so much fun! The first time I visited I completely missed it too 😂🤦🏼♀️ it’s such a fun place to hang out!
Thank you for these. I had not heard of them before.
One thing I do know that not everyone knows about is in City Walk, behind the Hard Rock Cafe is a piece of the Berlin Wall. It was really neat to see it given the historical aspect of it.i remember watching when they started tearing down the wall.
We thought about including that here, but tried to stick more to experiences instead of just objects. It’s so cool, though!!
We got something like this. The family behind us was very hyper and energetic so when we got to the end of the line the mom of the children told the worker to let us go again with no wait because we were patient with them. Best day of my life
Haha how nice of them! We love that the team members obliged, too!
You guys are education with a smile 😊. Way better than school ever was!
Haha thank you, Mike! We try!! 😂
Awesome! (And it was really great meeting you in the park this weekend!)
It was so nice meeting you, too! Thanks for watching!
My trip is next week and your videos have added to my Excitement!! As well as helped me be prepared
That’s so exciting! We hope you have the best time on your trip!!
I've had a few ruby passes in my time and yea its pretty great to have
Haha it's so nice, but we also felt terrible when we merged into the line 😂
I always go to the parks looking for a fun filled, exciting day with no problems. After your video today, here’s to an “issue filled” day!!! I want one of those Ruby passes! 😮
😂😂 we sometimes root for rides to go down on us just for this reason lol
They used to do the Pygmy Puff adoption ceremony at Zonkos in Hogsmead until they got rid of Zonkos to expand Honeydukes.
Oh that makes sense! We love that they do that!
Thank you for the tips and tricks!
Thanks for watching, we really appreciate it!
Great video guys, i love every little new thing that you show us!!!
Thank you, Mauricio!!
Absolutely love the school of rock shirt. And I absolutely love the video ofc. Keep it up!
Haha thank you! We appreciate you watching as always!!
I think this was the first of The Pugh Two's videos I ever watched. It's fun to watch it now knowing so much more about you both than before. When I first watched it, they were just unfamiliar faces, but now, you're both so familiar that I now watch this video with an entirely different perspective.
Awh, that’s so sweet! We love hearing that, and thanks for watching!!
I work there and did not know about the troll 🤣
Ruby SAPs are named Ruby because of Rubius and when Jurassic World Velocicoaster first opened they had Blue SAPs named for Blue.
That makes sense!! Lol you’ll have to go check out the troll too. Terrifying! 😂
It was awesome meeting you guys yesterday! Thanks for cranking out such good content. We were much more prepared for our first trip to Universal because of you two! (Joseff and Sabrina)
It was so great meeting you both, too!! We hope you’re having a great time at the parks and thank you for watching!
Had a bad experience with another guest in the queue for Hagrids and ended up with 8 of those passes between 2 of us! Obviously used them all on Hagrids and Velocicoaster! Also at the time we used them there was no express lane open for Velocicoaster so that was pretty cool that they let us on.
Oh wow, that’s awesome! We love how great Universal is for customer service!!
Two things I wish I knew- my son got a Pygmy puff, but we had no idea about naming it! That is so cool.
And the height certificate!! my daughter, was about an inch shy of 48 inches and we had to do child swap for a few rides. Would have loved the certificate for the future. Great tips for next time ◡̈
We’ve heard they really only offer it if the kid is making a scene lol it makes sense to help smooth over the conversation, but I feel like they should offer them more frequently! They’re supposed to offer to do the naming ceremony when you check out, too!
10/10 video as usual guys.
Curious when youll discuss HHN speculation maps for the upcoming season.
Thank you!
Thank you, Drew! We probably won’t talk much about speculation maps, but we’ll start doing tips and stuff for the event in the next few months!
Another great video Pugh Two!!
Thank you, Tyler!!
I didn’t know about any of this. You guys are awesome. We’ll be there starting 9/5. Can’t wait.
We hope you have a great time on your trip!!
The Film set Pass V.I.P. is such a great idea! Universal is great with guests.
Yes!! Their customer service is so good!
Me and my kids were given that pass for Hagirds because we were nice and polite to a staff member
Oh that’s so sweet! We love that!
I didn’t know about the pygmy puff, and the height return certificate, but I did know the other ones. Thanks for another great video and always educating your viewers!😂🎉
Thanks for watching!! We’re so glad you enjoyed it!
We were making Dole Whip at Scandinavian Shave Ice on Hawaii island -- anyone can get the machine from DOLE and make it -- BUT ONLY at Dole Pineapple Plantation on Oahu Island (where it was ORIGINALLY sold) and in Disney Parks could it be called "Dole Whip." We had to call it "Pineapple Soft Serve." Same exact thing though. Surprised Universal was able to harness the name as well and Disney didn't freak out.
It shocked us Disney let that happen, too! Lol someone said they’re about to start selling a version of it in the freezer section of grocery stores, too. We love it!!
Flyers wait time is actually 6 years *9 months* and 45 minutes 😉🤪
😂😂 that’s a fair point! Lol
Knew about all of these! Love all these gems they have. That playground is so massive!!! One hour there is equal to one day park walk there.
Haha we love it! That’s impressive! We’re so glad you enjoyed it, too!
@@ThePughTwo have you tried to find all the Adam’s in Marvel?
I got my first Pygmy puff on our last trip and asked for a naming ceremony. The lady who did mine sounded so dull and not excited that I thought she was joking at first.
Harold the Pygmy puff didn’t get quite the excitement Peeves did
Awh, that’s so upsetting! The TM that did ours was beyond amazing and made the experience what it was. We gave her a UOAP fist bump to let her know how much we appreciated it!
Great video! Cool info! Nice job!
Thank you, Jenifer!!
ANNA I LOVE YOUR SHIRT :D keep being amazing guys!!!
😂😂 thank you!! And thanks for watching!
I didn’t know about the height certificate!
We have many Pygmy puffs 😄 actually one extra because we were buying it for a friend’s bday and taking a video of the naming and got one of the … less excited team members. So we went back later and got another with someone else! It really felt like an anomaly because so many of the wizarding world TMs are just amazing.
Haha we love the dedication!! I’d say it would probably be hard to do it with conviction the first few times or even if you were having a bad day. So glad you got a better one the second time though!!
My favorite memory from going to universal when i was like 10 years old was watching the dinosaurs hatch and getting to name it. They even gave out a certificate with what you named it, It was amazing!
That’s adorable! Have you gone back to check on your dinosaur since then??
OMG... Never ever knew you could get Dole Whip at Universal... Completely mind blown! Thank you!!!
😂😂 now you know!!
I've never been to Islands of Adventure, but I will definitely be investigating those caves and the dinosaur nursery when I finally get the chance to go!
We hope you love it as much as we do!! That area of the park is SO much fun!
That 'School of Rock' shirt is EVERYTHING
Haha thank you! It’s from 5 below!!
Love your videos.
I'm going to book for next year.
Can you tell me what months are cooler and still dry.
I don't like it too hot.
Many thanks 😊
The winter, for sure!!
Universal has the best customer service, my favorite place on earth!
Right?? They’re always so nice and accommodating!
There is a highly specific area inside of JP Kid Zone -- me and a partner were inside of it for maybe 15 minutes, surrounded by kids who never found us. Shadows of groups of children were before our eyes, like we were in Platos Cave. Interesting to be somewhere in The Park, but to be hidden for so long.
I won't reveal the spot, but I will give the hint that we were inside of a structure.
JP Kid Zone is easily one of the best parts of the park as a whole, and one of the best themed areas in any park. I wish the entire park could be an experience like this.
As far as Dolewhip goes, its important IMO because it's probably one of the better frozen treat experiences a gluten/dairy free person can have.
That’s a great point about it being dairy free! We love camp Jurassic for the same reason, too. It’s like you’ve been transported somewhere different entirely!!
We get the rotty hair on our shirts!! We never wore white to the parks.Just one of those things when you have dogs that weigh more than us.Moose and Geno remind us of our Max and Rufus.
Lol we feel that!! We always wait until right before we leave to put on whatever we’re wearing for the day and make sure to not sit down after we change 😂 they shed so much idk how they’re not balding already!
I got 6 ruby passes once. We were 6 persons and when we arrived at the Park, there was a security barrier in our Park tickets and we had to wait around 30 minutes in the help line. The lady was super nice and gave us these passes for the troubles
The caves are so cool. I wandered around in there for like 30 minutes one day.
They’re so much fun! And nice and cool on a hot day!
I was offered a ruby pass when i was in hagrid’s line and it closed for weather it slowly moved forward because at the front of the line there was an employee asking people if they want to stay and wait or leave and get a ruby pass.
That’s awesome! We hope you took the pass! Lol
Last year our local drive up root beer stand started carrying a wide variety of Dole Whips. It made me so happy! 😂
Drive up root beer stand?? 😮
That’s so cool! Also drive up root beer stand?? Count me in! Lol
i got a ruby express for being stuck in the velocicoaster line during inclement weather at park close. it was kinda a good strategy, i was only in that line for like 20 mins and i used it on hagrid’s the next day
We’ll be there the 13th through the 19th, hope we run into you guys, been a long follower of this channel as annual passholders ourselves
That’s so exciting! We’ll be around, for sure! Send us a message on Instagram and we’ll try to say hello!
Hubby and I actually received the ruby ticket last year during HHN! It was awesome.
That’s amazing!! We love it!
The ride went down when we where in line. We waited 3 hrs.
@Richard Burbank sorry yes we went down in October for HHN but were trying to ride hagrids before going to stay and scream but it went down.
I never new about the bridge troll neither Anna but next time there I will listen for it Again guys brilliant video as always and asyou know they are getting better
It’s terrifying! Lol we’re glad we could get one past you, Dougie! 😂
@@ThePughTwo absolutely love use guys use are 2 of nicest people respect
We watched the video, this morning, I've just spent an hour exploring camp Jurassic, didn't know it was there👍. Also got a yellow single use express pass for the first time today 😊
Haha that’s amazing! The caves are so much fun to explore!! We hope you had a great day at the parks!
We went around to each ride and collected the Height Certificates… fun souvenirs!
That’s awesome! We love it!!
Back in covid times when Hagrid's was just virtual lines, my phone wouldn't show wait times or let us use the virtual que. They gave us Ruby passes for it, but our trip was over. We specifically booked a trip the next year to use them. It was amazing!
That’s so funny! We’re so glad you got to use them, though! We would’ve done the same thing 😂
I've gotten the ruby one when Hagrid's broke down and was on it!
I’d say you earned it! Lol
We love to explore Camp Jurassic during MeetUps and the winter when it gets darker earlier!
Haha yes! That’s the perfect time!
We have two named raptors at UO. We love getting updates on our raptors. Our older dino was annoying trainers by honking at night 😆
That’s so cute!! We love that they do that!
Anna your School of Rock shirt is AWESOME!!
Lol thank you!!
Hi, just had the dole whip cone at Wimpys last week, yum!!
It’s the best!!
Love your videos❤❤❤
Thank you, Deon!!
I was so excited I got to meet and take a picture with you guys this weekend. Hopefully you were able to get your Poseidon's Fury shirts.
We did! Thank you so much! It was great meeting you as well!
I wish that I could be at universal everyday aghhh I can’t wait to go back. ❤
Lol we hope you get to go back soon!!
Y’all, thank you for this video!!! My husband has agreed to let me get a Pygmy Puff on our next trip 🎉
😂🤣 yes! We’re so happy we could help! Lol you’ll have to let us know what you name it!
I loved your School of Rock shirt Anna but holy cow were you brave to wear black in that Sun!!! 🤣
Thanks for sharing these tips/experiences with us! Loving this channel more and more with each upload!!!
😂😂 it wasn’t too hot that day! Lol and thank you! We really appreciate you watching!
I love your School of Rock shirt!!
Thank you!!
Stinky Steve the Stegasaurus 😂😂 I didn't know about the certificate thing. That's a wonderful idea by Universal.
Right?? We thought it was such a good solution!
I got the Ruby express pass when I visited in September 2021. Hagrid's broke down while I was riding for my first time. I then used the pass to ride again that afternoon, only for the ride to break down in the exact same spot lol. I received another pass, but wasn't able to use it because I had to go home. So I've only experienced Hagrid's twice, and both times I received a "rare" item lol
Oh no! They must’ve been having issues with it that day lol that’s usually how people end up getting Ruby’s. Crazy it happened twice in one day!
Going to universal with my nephew in June and will definitely be stocking up on those "sorry you're short" certificates
😂😂 they should rename them that, I like it better lol
LOVE the school of rock shirt!
Thank you!! 😊
Stood looking at the Pygmy puffs for 10 minutes when we were there last year, so wish I’d bought one now. Love the vids and I can totally sympathise on the animal hair. I own 17 cats and I’m always covered 😁
Oh my gosh, that’s a lot of cats! The Pygmy puffs are so cute, too! I’m shocked this was our first one lol
@@ThePughTwo still not sure how we ended up with that many I am crazy cat lady! 😂 Need to come back for a Pygmy puff 😍
Thank you for these! I got a birth certificate after naming a newly hatched velociraptor this week. I bamed it after my baby great niece!
Awh, that’s so sweet! We love it!
I used a yellow single use fast pass to get on Hagrids last year! Don’t know if it was just the employees that day, but we got it when we got early park entry, ran to Hagrids and it broke down during our ride.
Oh wow, that’s awesome!!
I got one of those the first time I rode Hagrid's... Twice, broke down both times while we were on the ride
Haha that’s unfortunate, but also nice that you got them!!
I had no clue Universal serves Dole Whip, I never have to go back to Disney! lol
😂😂 it’s good, too!!
The only thing I didn't know about was the height ticket. Love this video. Also, y'all should know Fuina would love Anna's shirt. He's infatuated with Jack Black. I mean it, he would leave me for him! Hahahahah
Lol I got it at five below!! We’re just happy we could get at least one thing past you 😂😂
@@ThePughTwo I will let him know where to get it! Hey, one thing is always good!
Before velocicoaster has express there was a white one I called it the diamond pass cause it was able to be used for express at velocicoaster
That’s crazy! We had no idea they’ve had multiple different colored ones in the past until a TM sent us pictures of some old ones yesterday. That’s so cool!
We went on Pteranodon Flyers in December before the meetup with our 3 year old and she was JUST tall enough. I didn’t know what to expect and on that first free turn she flopped sideways immediately and scared me! 🤣 she absolutely loved it though and when we watch y’all’s videos (which is basically daily) she asks to go back and ride the Dino coaster!
😂😂 that’s so adorable!! We got to ride it once during a meetup, and it was a lot rougher than we expected! Lol it was cool to experience, though!
@@ThePughTwo it was her first ride ever and I’m so glad it didn’t ruin the night for her! I really thought “oh this is an easy kids coaster and it’s dinosaurs! She’ll love it!” 😂
Yeah. Dole whip. If you e ever been to the enchanted tiki room, they tell you all about Dole Whip and the Dole company in the preshow outside waiting in the garden area. Been that way at Disneyland forever. It’s pretty much an info-mercial for the Dole company, but they do talk about Hawaiian history a bit, so it’s interesting.
Oh that’s good to know! We need to go see that some time lol
Few of these things I didn't know about, interesting!! We just found camp Jurassic caves in the last year. So we knew that one, AND the carrying the dog hair with you!! 🤣
😂😂 how cool are those caves?? I couldn’t believe I’d never seen them! Lol
What a cool shirt Anna!!
Thank you!!
the girl that did the adoption is Caitlyn!! she opened diagon alley and shes AMAZING!!!! i used to work there and she was my trainer, shes the kindest soul ❤️❤️✨
We loved her so much! We went straight to the front of the park after filming and left her an amazing review and gave her a uo fist bump on twitter!
From a Jurassic Park Employees...Pterandadon Flyers has express passes...Also there is a cave that echoes in Camp Jurassic
That’s good to know!
I didn't know about the troll!!
It’s so creepy!! Lol
First Dole Whip I ever ate was at the Dole plantation in Oahu. 2nd was in Disney. Had no idea Unoversal had them.
Oh wow, I bet that one was good! Lol we love that Universal offers it, too!
They actually had a version of the Ruby pass before. Previously they had a “sorry for the issue” express pass that wouldn’t work for Gringotts. I got one of the special passes that would work on Gringotts because there was a malfunction that wouldn’t release the safety bar after our ride on Gringotts was finished.
That’s so cool! Was it ruby colored or something else?? Lol
Now I can actually see Jack Black on that super cool shirt! ⚡🖤 Love it!!!
Haha thank you!
I was in the park same time as u guys lol i always miss people in the parks lol
Haha we’re sorry we missed you! We hope you had a great day, though!
@@ThePughTwo ya once i got around all the dance kids it was great LOL.
I love the school of rock shirt!
Thank you!!
