California Vlogs 2024 - Universal Studios Hollywood - Pt 2 - Toadstool Cafe & City Walk

Hello Everyone! It's Tom and Paul! We're The Blokes From Stoke! Two big kids (and a dog) sharing our love of Disney, Universal, Theme Parks, Travel, Florida and Home.
Welcome to our California Vlog series 2024!
Continuing our first full day in Universal Hollywood, we're getting hungry, so what better place than the Toadstool Cafe! We'll show you what we have for lunch and let you know our thoughts.
Then it's back to more exploring! There's some more rides to be done and we grab a cheeky cocktail in City Walk, but which drink takes the smile off Paul's face?
We finish our day returning to Super Nintendo World where we see this part of the park at night, so come with us as our Universal adventure continues!

Aww the power up drinks are fun!. Good choice on the Spirit Jersey its so nice. The Toadstool cafe looks like a lot of fun. I love how themed all he food is. The city walk looks great with a lot of choice. The Nintendo Area is so pretty at night when it all lit up What a fun day xx

[@TheBlokesFromStoke]

Thanks Kirsty! We’ll have to definitely check the diary date and see what we can do!

[@meridethcooper7395]

So glad you guys only did one day. I always tell people that you really only need that at Hollywood. Can’t wait to see what other adventures you get into here in California!

[@TheBlokesFromStoke]

Thanks Meredith! Yep, it really was a one day park. We just shot so much footage that we needed to break it up (and show people a bit more). Lots more on the way!

[@mariehowell7312]

Loved the reference to festival park being from the Potteries plus as a seperate item ... the naughty comments of small balls in the straw 😂😂😂

[@TheBlokesFromStoke]

Haha thanks Marie!! We do try and reference a few things for the stokies… and as for the small balls…. 😂😂😂

[@spoons165]

[@kevincrouch2732]

Great vlog guys hope you are both well - Kevin & Cyndy

[@TheBlokesFromStoke]

Thanks Kevin. All great here! Hope all’s good with you!

[@T42Florida]

Great vlog again. Guys 👍👏👏👏 loved the bumper edition of "Tom Tries On." I thought that the college jacket looked great on yiu Tom, I hope you bought it😉 As for the sour face on Paul in Antojitos, that was a picture 🤣🤣🤣 City Walk was very deceptive at first, but I liked that it was all in a long strip rather than spread out as I felt you got to see everything and miss nothing! I'm looking forward to the next 'touristy' vlog. Thanks again, boys 👏👏👏🥰🥰🥰

[@TheBlokesFromStoke]

Thank you! Oh that cocktail was very sour! Really took a while to finish 🤣 We were really surprised by City Walk as it looked so much smaller on arrival but lots of choice. We’ll definitely be back!

[@rachohara]

Universal looks great! I've purchased the Nintendo World early entry pass for us, so hopefully that will help us on one of our Universal days. Looking forward to next weeks vlog, I think I spotted Roscoes which is somewhere we wanted to try also, will be good to see what you think of it 😊

[@TheBlokesFromStoke]

Thanks so much Rachel! The Nintendo pass really did help! Ooh we didn’t actually do Roscoes so can’t help you there unfortunately! Plenty of touristy stuff to show you though so stay tuned!

[@TheKatherine1965]

[@lisam374]

Fab vlog again guys 😊 love your new tops, looked a bit chilly 😮 roll on next Saturday 👋🏻

[@TheBlokesFromStoke]

Thanks so much Lisa! Yeah it was a tad fresh…. Any excuse to shop tho! 😂😂 See ya next weekend

[@tonylilley6611]

Does it compare favourably to Orlando, regarding prices, another fantastic double entendre laden post, 😊

[@TheBlokesFromStoke]

Thanks Tony! Slightly more expensive as the state tax is higher, but there’s probably ways and means to save a few dollars…..

[@mustafadurmaz375]

❤❤❤

[@deankirby8950]

Love these vlogs. Did universal orlando last September, can't wait for epic universe

[@TheBlokesFromStoke]

Thanks Dean! Yeah it was a great day! Loved the park and hopefully Epic Universe will be even better?

[@HENNYlocc]

Best vlogs about can’t stop watching these two . I hope they try Orlando Florida in December get that Xmas feeling and go see the grinch

[@TheBlokesFromStoke]

Thanks so much! So glad to hear you’re enjoying the mischief! We’d love to do some December vlogs but we just don’t have enough holiday time to book off work! 😂😂😂

[@HENNYlocc]

@@TheBlokesFromStokeI know that feeling 😢

[@watts-world]

It's a shame you missed out on the Waterworld show. That and the tram tour were my favourite bits of that park. That said, when I went, many of the rides were down for maintenance and I was also too large to fit on some rides (such as The Mummy and both Harry Potter rides) so I didn't get to do much. I was there just before Nintendo World opened so hopefully that makes the park a bit more appealing

[@TheBlokesFromStoke]

Thanks so much for coming along with us! We hope to go back and see Waterworld in the future, but we loved the tour too! All the other attractions were running for us luckily but we’d definitely return and do it all over again!

[@mele7417]

I don’t do seafood either but bubba gumps is fantastic. Best steak Iv had

[@TheBlokesFromStoke]

Thank you! We’re going to have to give it a go!

[@janecook8546]

Fab vlog cheeky guys! Loved it. Looking forward to next Satuday! 😍

[@TheBlokesFromStoke]

Thank you Jane! Hopefully not too cheeky! 🤭🤭🤭🤭

[@VickyMouseTimes]

Fab vlog guys. How did you find the time difference? ❤

[@TheBlokesFromStoke]

Thanks so much! We were definitely still waking up quite early and it took some time to adjust. Trying to stay awake as long as we could and busy days helped!

[@thebrummierailenthusiasts5329]

What yous thinking ..better than Orlando ..or similar ?🇺🇸🇺🇸👌🏻👌🏻

[@TheBlokesFromStoke]

There’s lots more to do in Orlando Gary but we loved this for its charm and the views are stunning. Loved the Jurassic World ride more here too!

$75 FOR A T SHIRT?

….and that’s before tax!

[@MISSLEONAJB]

Hiya 🤗 Toadstool Cafe looked great shame the food wasn’t hot enough. I don’t know anything about Nintendo 🫣 but the theming looks fab. I’m glad you had a fun filled day 🩷 xxx

[@TheBlokesFromStoke]

Thank you for watching! Yeah the food was very tasty but it could have done with being a bit hotter. Maybe we needed Tom’s Fire Flower to warm it up!
