- You may have noticed that Steph's a bit of a Harry Potter fan 🤓⚡ so naturally, any chance she gets to visit @universalorlando we're going!
Universal doesn't have an RV park on-site, so we explored off site options and stayed at Lake Louisa State Park. Check out this week's video to see how it worked out for visiting the parks and what we thought of the state park itself! 🎥

WOW, this was in March? How did you not run into huge crowds?? All year, season passholders have grumbled loudly that ex Disney fans are flocking to Universal in record numbers because they're just fed up with Disney demanding an arm and a leg. Some are so angry about the sky high price increases that they've cancelled and taken vacations overseas and it's STILL cheaper! I strongly predict Disney will have a BAD year in 2023. I think most of the foot traffic they saw this year was just people trying to do delayed visits or getting their once in a lifetime trip. Then, they're never going to show up again.
And with gas prices hurting the economy, I think next year, car traffic to Disney World will drop massively and their insane management will be wondering what they're going to do. But they won't lower their prices. And the most surprising thing? Disney doesn't seem a bit worried about Epic Universal, the biggest park expansion in Florida's history. It will have not one but TWO new hotels, three roller coasters, Super Mario World, ANOTHER Harry Potter land (your husband might like that!), How to train your dragon and much more. I think Disney will be shaking in fear. They have nothing on the board and their CEO is just terrible. I'm so fed up with Disney that I am cancelling my Disney Plus subscription. They are one of the most anti-customer brands I know of.
Mom's Rule! Great Video!
Thank you!
Enjoyed the video bunches. Thank you
Thank you so much, Betty Jo! Nice hearing from you ❤
Yeah, it was in the 50's here on Lake Michigan today.
Of course Pup always gets me to open his windows in the rear, but today I opened the driver's window and enjoyed it!
Oh that sounds so nice! Glad it's getting warmer for you friend 😊
Awesome and Very Good Video
Thank you, that means a lot!
I have a 2500RL and I carry 30 feet sewer hose. I have 2 x 10 ft. connected just for longer distance, and 1 x10 ft. for shorter, but I can connect all 3 together. I had the same situation as you did. I also carry 2 x 25 foot hose, because I had to use it once together. You would think when the parks are set up every thing would be in one spot. I think the sewer might of been added later, that's why it's so far away. I also enjoyed your video. I want to see Harry Potter too!
That's a good plan! It's so weird, I very rarely have issues with hookups. I always say people who don't RV build most campgrounds 😂 Can't wait to come back to Universal! Thanks for joining us, James!
You guys are amazing! I always enjoy your vlog as always!
Thank you so so much!! That means a lot to us 😊
@@lifererouted By the way, we like to support you more, We are just wondering if you guys want us to send you free sunglasses? I did send you some emails for detail. We hope you might like them.
This looks like a really nice place to stay, comes with all the luxuries. I might check it out in a further since I don't have an RV.
You should! We really enjoyed it 😊 thank you!
Doing a great job with your videos!
Thank you so much, Peter! ❤❤❤
You guys find the best spots ever!
Just because Steph always researches like a maniac!! 🤪
Great info. Safe travels. Always call mom!! Cheers
Thank you Ed! You're right, mom always knows!
mann.fantastic recording,see u around,
Thanks so much!
Trukey lake park is a city park in Orlando 15 minutes from universal,full hookup,pool, petting zoo,disca golf and more .
Really? I'll have to look that up. Thank you!
The only bad thing about Turkey Lake is it is very small and hard to get in to. Not too many sites.
Bill Fredricks park.
Adding this to the bucket list! Great video guys!
You should! Thanks for watching!
So those tents are soulpads…I have one and love it! Set up bed with futon and heck y’a! Glamping is the way I roll kids!
Oh really?! I don't think I've ever seen one except for here. They were really neat!
@@lifererouted 13 or 16 foot diameter and they have so much space. Plus they are easy and I can set up myself...one pole in the middle (collapses for transport) and one V for the door. Good quality canvas and has withstood many a storm. I have cpap so I have to plug in and could easily live in it 🙂
That's awesome! That sounds so much nicer than a regular tent ⛺
Haven't beeb to Universal for about 20 years...need to make it over there next time we're in FL. Nice review of Lake Loiuisa SP!! So you are finally are chasing the 70's d😎🤣and it sounds like you might be leaving FL.....We truly wish we'd run into yall somewhere down here. We are in the panhandle until the end of the month and then we're out too. Be well and travel safe!
You should make a trip back and see it! I bet it's changed a lot since you saw it last. Stay safe down there! I just saw they were calling for back storms down there. Thank you, guys! Safe travels!
We live in Groveland-just down the road from where you were!!
Awesome!
My wife is a huge Harry Potter Fan. Need to come to Louisiana to experience Mardi Gras.
Fans unite! 😁 We've never been! That's something we'll have to experience one day
We love Harry Potter. Our 2 dogs are call shamus finnigan Finny for short and the girl dog is Luna love good or Luna.
Finny and Luna!! I love that 🥰 🤓⚡
Did my eyes deceive me...do you have Hermione's wand? I only ask because I have it too...AND a tattoo of it on my arm. LOL! Yup, Potter Nerd in the house! We have plans to do Ft. Wilderness for a week but I think we are warming up to the idea of following it up with a week at Lake Louisa too! This looks great!
Good eye!! That is indeed Hermione's wand, fellow nerd here 🤓 fun fact, the interactive thing has gone bad a couple times (I've had it for about 5 years) and each time they "fix" it at the parks they come up with a story of how I broke it...one time it was troll bogies 🤣
@@lifererouted LOL! That's so funny! I just had to crack up when you whipped your wand out of your backpack...when I bought my current camera bag/backpack it had to be tall enough to carry my wand! LOL!
Seeing the dock at the lake took me back to the day we surprised the boys with a special visitor! Glad you had the chance to stay there.
Aww we thought of that trip too! So glad Patty could come surprise them ☺
Thanks for the great info! I don't think anyone goes anywhere fast in FL🤣🤣. Without a camper it took right at an hr to go 25 miles in Sarasota! Weird clean out placement on that site I have been thinking of adding a third sewer hose for times like that.... stay safe and look for6to your next video!
It's definitely something else trying to get around in the rig! 🤪 We've never had that happen with our hose, it was so weird. Thank you so much!
We have three grandchildren in Clermont. We all spent a couple hours at Lake Louisa several years ago when our youngest grandchild was just two days old. We found her first geocache that day. 😁
Just to be clear, we've never RV'd down there. We're still in our sticks and bricks and have always flown down to Florida.
Aw that's such a good memory to have! We actually explored Lake Louisa just for a hike with family years ago! If you ever get down there with an RV the campground is definitely worth checking out too 😊
I always carry 3 lengths of sewer hose, have run into this issue before.
That's so wild! We might have to start doing that too 🤷♀️
I have a cap that has a water hose connection and I carry an old water hose just to drain the grey water in that situation
We have the same setup.....I cannot believe we didn't think to use it 🤦♀️ thank you!
we stayed at Orlando RV resort over Xmas when we went to Disney, we ended up borrowing a 3rd stinky slinky to reach the sewer connection, I now carry 3 hoses for this reason.
That's wild! We had never needed a 3rd one in almost 4 years of RVing, maybe we're going to have to start carrying more!
@@lifererouted I built a carrier that hangs under the trailer out of a 5” pvc fence post, added a cap on each end with a hinge and latches on one side, was kinda expensive to build, but was well worth it.
@@schlz69 that's a good idea!
We are staying there in May. Wasn’t willing to pay $200 per night at Ft Wilderness
Ouch, I hear you. We felt lucky to get into Fort Wilderness for ~$120/night, not sure if we'll find those prices again 😬 Lake Louisa is nice too though!
@@lifererouted seven years ago it was only $80 per night
Y'all are so great! I have never been to Universal. It looked like so much fun. Thanks for the info on the campground, too. Stay safe! Much love from SC, Jane
Aw thank you as always Jane! They're both worth visiting if you ever get the chance ❤
Nice! We stayed at Lake Louisa SP for the first time two weeks ago. It truly is very nice. Loved the rolling hills, which is different from most other Florida parks. Great place to ride bikes.
Yes! We saw so many cyclists when we were there. Glad you had a good time!
Thanks for this episode… the tents are cool. Now, if you can believe it, a buddy and I went on a trip to Africa and got to go on a safari drive tour in the Masai Mara. We stayed in a luxury tent in the African bush that had an amazing set up with a front deck, multiple beds and a built-in private bathroom. It was giant and amazing!! Oh and the animals were unbelievable. Thanks for sharing Florida with us. 😎 Oh yeah, we’ve been to Universal and enjoyed it. You gotta go see the Blue Man Group! They are the best. We didn’t camp- stayed at a friend’s vacation home nearby.
That sounds incredible! We still haven't been to one of their shows. We'll have to make it to one eventually!
What do you do with your pet while at Universal?
This time we were only gone about 6 hours at a time so she's fine in the camper. If we're going to be gone all day we usually board her or do doggy day care. We have a pet monitoring device, Waggle, that monitors the temp of the camper at all times so that really helps! mywaggle.com/discount/KHALI?redirect=%2Fproducts%2Fexclusive-offer&Lifererouted&KHALI

I'm a new Imagine owner. What do you use for internet? Especially if the Campground doesn't provide it?
This is a great question - and one we still don't have a perfect answer to! We use a hotspot through the Calyx Institute that runs off of Sprint. Welcome to the Imagine family ❤
Wouldn’t Fort Wilderness have been closer? Not as inexpensive but closer…
It's definitely closer, but you're right, it would have been about 3x the cost. There are closer rv parks to Universal, but we enjoyed being at a state park that was nice to enjoy by itself and didn't cost very much!
@@lifererouted I agree with you that the state parks look SO much nicer than the standard RV parking lot. Thanks for the videos!
What part of Ind are you two from?
West central, the Terre Haute area! Are you a fellow Hoosier?
