This is our first year as Premier AP's, and we love it! I love the perks! We have our single day tickets for Epic! ❤️ Thanks, AJ, for another great Universal video!

If you're a family planning to stay at a universal hotel, only one person in the family needs to have an annual pass in order to get the annual pass discount on the hotel room. The same annual pass can be used for all in-park purchases on food and merch to save even more money. Do the math and you'll be surprised at how quickly you'll make up the purchase cost of the annual pass. It doesn't work for Epic Universe tickets though - only one ticket per annual pass per day is allowed.

AJ, be a proud slytherin! There are no bad houses, only bad people.

Tip: prioritize rides that may breakdown later, e.g., Hagrid's Motorbike coaster.

[@kristinavalcarce2404]

My tip: An interactive wand purchased at Universal Studios Orlando will work at Universal Studios Hollywood and vice versa! The maps will be different, but the wands will still work! (Also, I'm so happy that Universal Studios Hollywood is open again after a scary couple of days.)

[@Themeparkgeek226]

Extremely appreciated the Universal Orlando content. Heading there in 11 days armed with tons of food tips thanks to your content ❤

[@dfbbreea]

Have SO MUCH FUN!! Can’t wait to hear about your favorite parts!

[@pazzariatv]

This video comes right on time! I just got my AP! 😅😂🤣😜

[@Luckdragon12]

I hope you make it to Dollywood! 😀

[@dfbbreea]

AJ needs to go - it’s SO FUN!!

[@jeninaslicer352]

The warm cinnamon bread is reason enough 😂❤😊

International travellers: always use a VPN to buy tickets as if you were in the USA. Universal charges a higher price when you buy internationally. Right now, a "2 day + 2 free days" ticket costs $270 in the USA site and $320 in the Brazilian site, for example

[@LJK-pw3cu]

Express VPN did not work.. I think they must have GPS protection also. Had a go!

[@Matthew-dd6kp]

Disable location services and use an incognito tab should fix that problem ​@LJK-pw3cu

[@rodgerscott8808]

You can get rid of the beads you collect by tossing them onto the bead tree in CitiWalk, it's just past the mini golf on the right where the people movers are.

[@FittieFoodie8]

Helllo, hellllo DFB, grand RISING!! Thanks for another great video lovelies 💖💖

[@tpot7269]

About the robes, you can see right away the cheap amazon robes. They dosent look good at all, especially next to people in original ones. I would recommend just buying used one original robe on resellers platforms

[@IJRobertson]

I’m staying at terra Luna in July so this video is awesome and perfect timing

[@dfbbreea]

You’ll have to let us know what you think! ❤

[@IJRobertson]

@@dfbbreea thanks and will let you know how it is! I’m so excited! Also I was wondering can you guys upload the opening /closing music for the videos as a mp3 to the DFBwebsite & could I pay to download it coz I would love to be able to use it as my ringtone. Every time I hear the music at the start it brings a smile to my face

[@adyscript]

I still haven’t forgiven Universal for their parking lol. Years ago, we were in Orlando, and we were trying to get to the Hard Rock hotel. We made a wrong turn and wound up in the line for Universal parking and we couldn’t turn around. They wouldn’t let us turn around at the gate. We were forced to pay the $30 or whatever it was at the time just to go to the HRH. We had no intention of visiting the park that day. I still want my money back 😂

[@78pettibone]

Thank you guys for all the info you provide!!! I am wondering if there are path shortcuts to Hagrids at EPA (like by Green Eggs & Ham) and if it’s possible (&a good idea) to - while in the EPA line for Hagrids to mobile order breakfast to get the included Butterbeer and have it soon after you finish up Hagrids? With that, on mobile order can you set the order for a specific time?

[@jackwilkinson4911]

Everything is going as planned. The only things left to sort out are my train to Manchester Airport and back, as well as the Mears Connect Coach from Orlando Airport and back. Another 3 months and then I can move on to the final phase. I've got everything planned out for my park days, including the 2 days I'll be visiting Universal

[@alyssamorgan747]

I really wanna go there for my fortieth this year, but 'm not sure if we'll be able to afford it. I mean, I can afford the 3-day park ticket; i.e. Universal, Islands of Adventure and Epic Universe...just not the hotel and plane tickets.

[@cathinieto39]

Stay at Endless Summer, the rooms are affordable. Spirit air is a cheap option for flying if it's available at your home airport. Happy Birthday!

[@demivanopstal4884]

Would love to see a video about gluten free options in Universal! ❤ Very curious wat Epic will have to offer as well.

[@PaolaSofiaaa]

How does the buy 2 days get 2 days free work? You get 4 days to visit the parks basically? Thank you!

[@dfbbreea]

Yup!!

[@andrewross6682]

Going for the first time May 3rd!

[@dfbbreea]

Aww - that’s my momma’s bday! How awesome!

[@feldspar3858]

Disney CAN’T beat Universal this year. Sorry to break it to you.

[@Squidyy88]

NICE!! ❤ please do Japan universal and Japan Disney park and sea!

[@dfbbreea]

We do have Tokyo Disney videos! 🤩 kzbin.info/www/bejne/q17dpXqsh82padksi=Qq2Ssgwd_QKyjpVW

[@janemcdaniel7502]

AJ it sounds like you would more likely get a burgundy HP shirt. If you were a Slytherin, you would be proud to sport your house green 💚🖤🐍

[@samrobinson1016]

Hey guys, question for the community! We're planning on travelling to Orlando from Australia in September to do Universal and Disney World. Having a look at tickets from here, while the option is available for the bundle tickets with the other parks, it's only currently showing May and June 2025 and won't show any future dates. Is this a known issue or is this just something happening for international guests? Do we have a rough idea as to when September tickets will be available for purchase?

[@elajadegerggeo7382]

Do you have to be living in Florida to get annual pass for Walt Disney World and Universal Studios

[@judith526]

Nope

[@Matthew-dd6kp]

No, but it's a bad investment unless your local

[@shaneryandrummer]

is there a place for ubers to drop you off/ pick you up?

[@tinawidmann8973]

Yes! It takes you to the top of the parking garage. You go down 2 escalators and walk to security. 😃

[@DFBGuide]

yep, like tina said! Plan some extra time because that drop off is a lot further than the uber drop off at Disney parks (you have to go through City Walk to reach the park entrances after traversing the parking garage and security)

[@kellyoyen3421]

I just got done with work.

[@tmm701]

Qunicey!

[@danielpowell-ph5li]

[@ibanjo5403]

oh we EARLY EARLY

[@camillemitchell301]

I want to go to Universal at least to just try butterbeer, but I know I can't go in the foreseeable future. I wonder if they'll ever put it in a local franchise in the US.
