Hi, I have a question and I hope you can answer it because it is very important to me. I am a fan of the film Psycho and I really want to see the house and of course take photos in front of the house and on the stairs and of course in front of the Norman Bates Motel. Can I do all of this with a VIP pass? Do they allow it? It is a lifelong dream of mine to take a photo in front of the Psycho house and on the stairs and to enjoy the house in peace. I would be very happy to hear your answer. Greetings from Germany

Hi there - it all depends on what they are filming. Every day is different for what you get to see. I wouldn’t recommend going on the tour just to see one thing because you may end up disappointed!

Thanks for the tips, although I feel like the kids menu tip doesn't make sense? The kids menu is usually a different menu (like chicken nuggets) not the same menu items in smaller portions. Better tip might be to split a meal between two people. Anyway cool video!

I’ve done the VIP experience 3 times and all 3 times it was worth it. The reason I did it so many times was to be able to walk on the back to the future set since it was being used my first 2 times. Overall it’s an amazing experience and I would recommend to go on a weekend since it’s open much longer. And pro tip: take advantage of the water bottles you can get at the VIP lounge, at the buffet, and when you do the studio tour 💧

Question, I was wondering how much did you pay for your 10 day rental through Avis, if you don't mind me asking? For example, I priced out a 10 day, 2018 Tesla model 3 rental in June through TURO and it came out to a total of $421.20. This also includes free vehicle delivery to Daniel K Inouye Internation airport. IF you want a 2021 Tesla model 3, the total cost would be $552.08 . Obviously, you can rent any car from TURO. I'm just using Tesla model 3 as an example because that was the car you rented. I learned A LOT from watching your video. I will most definitely follow you for future vacation travel tips. And, congratulations on your marrige!

Thanks for following us Alejandro! Our Avis 10 day rental came out to $431 when we went in January 2024. We did use a discount code from our work but typically they also have discount codes for other partners or might have cheaper pricing with travel partners (eg try Costco Travel). Try finding discount codes or shopping around different travel sites or different car rentals.

Also, if you purchase a Disney resort drinking mug, you can only use it on your current stay. You can not return, recharge and use the cup on your next visit. You would have to purchase another cup. MAYBE the tumbler is different but knowing Disneys nickle and diming ways, I doubt it.
@pandytravels
@pandytravels Ай бұрын
Given the Disney Parks restrict fill ups by scanning a chip in the mug, we had the same thought when we went to Aulani. We noticed their machines didn’t scan the mug and the signs selling the mugs didn’t have any restrictions noted for refills so we asked a cast member and they noted it’s lifetime free refills. Guess it makes sense given repeat Aulani customers would cost them very little in free Soda if they even remember to bring back their mugs. We did see a few guests using older Aulani mugs too :)

Hi! Thanks for your video. We just got back from Aulani and the Lazy River was open until 8pm. It was great because our kids are older and by evening I think a lot of kids are back in their rooms, so the lazy river was definitely way less crowded! I wish the Lazy River were open even later! I agree -- I cannot believe a resort of this expense doesn't have room service. We arrived late and our son needed yogurt to take with his medicine. We couldn't get any so we had to scramble and get a Door Dash, which kept our poor kids up verrrrry late waiting for it. : ( Almost got someone else's Door Dash... McDonalds! Hey Disney...families NEED room service for many reasons!

Question: If we have to use the express lane when we have a VIP pass, what is the point??? I’m trying to decide which to do, the VIP or the Express Pass.
@pandytravels
@pandytravels 2 ай бұрын
I believe it has to do with space constraints. They’d probably love a shorter VIP line if they had the space. Only some rides have a different entrance (example Transformers). With VIP, you get a guided tour of the backlot and get to get off the bus to explore. You also get Mario Kart ride included which you don’t with any Express Pass. Im sure Express would be perfectly OK for most people. Just have to do the math on how much extra $$ VIP is on the day you go. Hope that helps!

I live in CO, and my go-to vacation is DISNEY! I own DVC, but Disneyland was the place I visited 3-4X a year. Airfare is cheap, direct, and easy (I fly into SNA or LGB). Uber is like 15 minutes and cheap. I usually stay at a good neighbor hotel for under $200 a night and once a year a Grand Californian where I HAD 100 pts. But I am making the switch and will be vacationing at WDW from now on. Disneyland offers no real DVC incentives. No Annual Passes, no refillable mugs, no real AP or DVC discounts (10% only), etc. DVC at WDW offers a great AP and lots of hotels to pick from. Anaheim - DL is the superior place, IMO, and here is why. The weather is better. You will never have to worry if it will ruin your vacation! The talent is superior. Hollywood baby! All the talent comes to SOCAL to try to find fame and fortune; many get jobs as dancers, characters, singers, and parade folks at DL. You rarely have screaming littles next to you in line because 75% of DL's visitors are local and usually adults. The food is fantastic, and the steps per attraction are so much less that I never have aching feet or blisters!

@pandytravels

As of today, parking at the theme park starts at $30/day for standard parking. It’s free if you’re staying on resort or for certain annual passholders. We would recommend factoring in the cost of parking as it may be cheaper to stay at a Value Disney resort (like All Star resorts) and you get benefits like early entry.

This was a gift for my sons birthday this year and our 9th wedding aniversary. We are very excited about this experience. I bought the tickets @ universal studios website, the operating hours that day are going to be from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. We are planning on going @ 9 am before out tour starts at noon. Like I said, we are very excited about this experience. I hope it doesn't disspoint. Oh yes, one more thing. I wanted to eat at toadstool cafe (mario restaurant) but i guess we have to go to a buffet. Also, like you said, they should've include the power up band @ nintendo world with the VIP ticket.

Great question. The one we did at Universal Hollywood includes park admission, unlimited express pass, guide, and free valet parking. It was $500 per person when we went but prices fluctuate. Only thing not included at Universal Hollywood was our hotel stay. Universal Orlando has a slightly different price structure and I believe they require you to have an extra park ticket on top of the VIP ticket.
