An EPIC Visit to Universal Orlando Resort! Food, Drink, Fun!

[@simplymotor]

If this, and the last video were “thrown together” and done somewhat off the cuff in terms of what you filmed versus just enjoying the company of a friend, then hats off to you Chris. The shots you get, and the way you edit, is inspiring. Just incredible to watch! Can’t wait to see what else you have in store for us. How about the Grand Reef at Discovery Cove? I can only imagine how good you’d make that look! Anyway keep up the good work. PS As December Falls are awesome 🙌🏻. Dan

[@chrislostinflorida]

Ah Dan!! Thank you so much. That is so kind! We simply said, shall we make a video and it went from there lol. The best possible return on these videos is to hear it brings people a minute of two of escape or brevity and if it inspires people in some way (not something I ever thought I would do tbh) then it’s undoubtedly the best return on it. Until RedBull step in to fund me as a partner 😂 😂. I’ll add to the growing list of places. Thanks so much again!!

[@Soaringwithkirsty]

Loved watching this video Honestly your editing is amazing Your videos are brilliant to watch Some of the shots you do and get I’ve never seen before!!! Thanks for sharing 💖

[@Gymmom128]

Oh and Disney wins every time!!

[@chrislostinflorida]

Hey wait, I’m with you right now 😂.

[@missymayjones]

Great video, I love love Disney , but I equally love love universal, it’s more of a grown fun place , either one I am 100% happy to go too 👍

Great job, and you made it into a Tracker video. Nick and Leigh will be impressed. Hope all turns out well for Mark.

[@chrislostinflorida]

Thanks Judith. A few people have messaged me saying this lol! Poor Tim lol. I do not actually watch his videos tbh, but so many people have told me, I will look later. I hate seeing my face in my own videos, let alone anyone else's lol. Thanks for watching!

Your coffee machine and house are gorgeous 😁

Disney and universal need to use your videos to promote their parks because watching your videos and the fantastic way you film and edit just makes us want to go so bad. Another world class video Chris 👏👏

Ah thanks so much Jayne. I really appreciate it! I put a lot of effort and time into the videos, but being my own biggest critic, I always find more I do not like, than like about them lol!! I agree with you about the choice between the two, but I do think I visit Universal a little more often! Thanks so much for watching!

Totally enjoyed your vlog -again We have a family holiday booked (2ndbooking) for Feb 2022 sooooo looking forward to it We have been coming to Florida since 1991 so your videos keep us going we really like your non park vlogs too. We are seniors but we still live watching how well your blogs are filmed really artistic 👍 keep up good work Lin and Dave our family

[@chrislostinflorida]

Thanks so much Linda! I really appreciate you watching and commenting! You have certainly been coming for a while then! Feb is a nice time to be here as crowds are not too bad and the weather is not as stifling. Some cool videos coming up away from this area!

You are so creative Chris. I have just subscribed as I love your editing and film ideas. I don’t even like Disney (Sorry!) but your film work makes everything so watchable

[@chrislostinflorida]

Hey Helen!! Thanks so much... I really appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment! That is great to hear that it is the style of the content that you liked as that is my intention. Stick around as this is not a Disney nor theme park channel. Sure I go there and love going there. When I feel I can maybe present them in a slightly unique way, I will, BUT there will be a lot of content that is completely away from all of that!! If you have just subscribed, maybe check out the sky diving / manatee / St. Augustine videos :). Thanks for subscribing!

[@helenrb7755]

Thanks, I will certainly check those other videos out. They sound like the perfect antidote to a rainy Friday evening in England:-)

[@juliegarner4357]

Excellent vlog Chris, amazing editing as per usual.Can’t wait to get back to Universal and especially to get on Hagrids ride. Has to be Butterbeer ice cream from Florean Fortescues

Another fabulous vlog Chris. Keep up the great work. Music and sunset scene perfect. Forget about your hair, wait to it starts disappearing, the worry. Park preference depends on age group I think. You have cone a long way since your first vlog. Well done

Great video Chris, really miss the place. I’ve only ever had normal butter beer but will try frozen when we can get back for sure. Stay safe from Australia 🇦🇺

[@neilp3966]

That was a very cool video Chris. I'm with you on Rip Ride Rocket - one of two rides (looking at you too Tricerotop Spin) that legit make me ache after riding. Also agree on Universal, love WDW and always will but UOR has a special place - probably because when we visit we stay at HRH (with Express passes) 😁. Hagrid's is my fave ride in Orlando currently (haven't ridden Rise or Velosicoaster yet though). Glad to see the Go Pro survived the washer 😂

[@chrislostinflorida]

Thanks Neil! I take no enjoyment from bumping my head and neck for 3 minutes 😂. It was fun doing it with someone who had never ridden it though. I’ve never stayed at HRH, but I had thanksgiving dinner there and it was amazing! Thanks again and hope you get back out here alas

[@sarahwk124]

Coffee and a bagel with lox…PERFECTION. I don’t mind Universal, but I prefer WDW. I’ve tried to go on Rip Rocket and Doom, but they’ve always been closed when I’ve been there. Hagrid’s wasn’t open last time I was at Universal 😆😬. Look at you with all the fancy wipes and effects…becoming a proper vlogger 😂❤️.

lol!! thanks so much Bev. I think most people that visit love them both in different ways.

[@littlemissrachie07]

I like Universal, but it’s so much smaller than Disney and less to do. I would choose Epcot for a night out. Hands down. However, if I am looking for a night of thrill rides, then yes I would choose Islands of Adventure. Another great video. 😃

[@chrislostinflorida]

I love both. I have passes for both. I got to EPCOT often for drinks at night etc. I find that if on a whim I fancy a few hours at a park, universal is usually where I end up! Thanks so much for watching! I really appreciate it!

[@Florida-Obsessed]

Your filming and editing is insane!!! I love it. What recording devices do you use, I want to get one for my next trip. And also what editing software do you use if you don't mind sharing please 😁

[@chrislostinflorida]

Ah!! Thank you so much, I really appreciate that!! I use a few different cameras, but my main camera is the Sony A7iii and my go to lens is a 24-70. It is far from a compact camera if you are looking to just film some vlogs on your trip. I also use the Sony RX100 vii, which is a fantastic compact all in one for both photo and video. I know a lot of people who make straight up vlogs, like to use the Canon G7X range. I will have a video in the next couple about my gear, how I make videos etc... Just need to find a way of making it appealing and fun for those who could care less about tech lol! Thanks for watching!

[@Florida-Obsessed]

@@chrislostinflorida ah thanks for sharing. Sounds great, I'll definitely be watching that video you spoke of!!

[@tuzanne]

Not heard of a virtual line - is that like the fast pass in Disney? We haven’t been to Universal for years and just bought an annual residents pass so hope to go if US let’s us in to use it in Dec and looking forward to Hagrid’s ride. Blues Brothers always my fav show and I prefer Universal for rides but Disney lovely too especially for younger kids

[@chrislostinflorida]

It’s similar to what they do with rise of the resistance. You use the app to schedule a return time and then go back to the attention in that window. Universal use it on several attractions when it’s busy and I would imagine it’s something you will see more of going forwards. I love both tbh, but generally I find myself at universal if it’s just a few hours on a whim

[@danthemanSB1990]

[@chrislostinflorida]

Thank you so much Kirsty! I really appreciate that! When I make a video somewhere that people have seen on other videos hundreds of times, I am always very aware that I want to include the things that I notice on the day that make moments fun/special etc to me. Often, that can be a little abstract or something that many would not find interesting, but I find these small things tend to make me far more excited about making a video and hopefully that shows in how they turn out! Again, thanks so much! :)
