My daughter made me type this and tell you " I like the lady with blond hair and the pretty sunglasses, she tries everything and is honest and I like that" so year 8-year-old approval. Dead honesty she will only watch you and DFB guide with AJ.

[@veronicajude]

She has excellent taste! 😉

[@bethanybowen503]

Agreed! That's who my 6 and 8 yr old watch too. Love the AllEars and DFB teams!

[@andreagillette1652]

I would like to see the head to head, say Breedlove and Quincy, doing the rides in order and reverse order…and Molly doing the rides according to posted wait times - and then compare the step counts at the end. Everyone does all the same rides, but there are two set orders of rides, and one based on wait times! Does it make much of a difference in wait times? Or is it worth it for people who can’t cross cross the parks like Molly usually does?

[@ErinCasey3]

2 Hagrid pro tips- 1- Get it as soon as you get into the park. The is an A frame right at the park entrance that has the QR code on it. You get 1 scan, per phone, per day. So I went with a friend and we both scanned it and we rode Hagrid back to back each using our code and we had ridden twice by 10am. 2- Molly hit on this, but it’s super important. The time you get WILL change. Sometimes it’s only by a minute or so, sometimes it jumps A LOT. We were all the way over in Marvel because we had 30 minutes before our time and all of sudden it jumped to 1 minute and we had to book it back over to Hogsmeade.

[@sheilasutardi1363]

The time changes sound inconvenient, but I guess at least IOA size is manageable, unlike, say, EPCOT or Animal Kingdom. You would never make it in time if you had to walk from the opposite end of the park 😆

[@naureenkhashwji8039]

Molly is iconic! If I see her face on the video I click it!

[@anonymous.hippopotamus]

Molly, you have been killing it with the content. I said it before in another comment on another video that you have helped us plan our summer! Thank you so much. So entertaining, and informative. We are going in just a few short weeks. I was wondering if you could do an updated food/snack review for the universal parks?

[@NerdGirlASMR]

We went to Universal last week for three days. I feel so bad for you Molly. That heat and those wait times are harsh. We had fast pass, which was a lifesaver for us. You standing in line to give us more accurate times, makes you a true park hero. 🥇

[@terilynn15]

Thanks, Molly, for the updates! We’ll be there next week and I wasn’t sure what to do about Hagrid’s. We appreciate you and all of your help, time, and effort doing all of this!

[@NickBrunet]

If you talk to the goblins in Gringotts bank they will interact with you. Even the main goblin will talk back to you! So cool!!

[@cidermonkey4004]

I agree on the Hulk music, makes an already amazing ride that much more epic

[@laurenjp1491]

Definitely agree; I love the Hulk onboard audio. 💚

[@andreagillette1652]

Molly’s new word - Outroar! Mixing together uproar and outrage… she makes it work. 🤣

[@RizoKobold]

how do you make standing in lines for hours entertaining? THIS!

[@disneynutd1609]

Molly you are such a trooper waiting so long for rides. Thank you for having so much patience ❤️

[@XxmimixsoraxX]

Yay! Love Universal videos!

[@fantasygeek13]

Stop I'm literally IN LOVE with Ron 😭😭😭

[@vailstlchick21]

Molly outraged at the lack of Slytherin representation on the statue. Me, a Ravenclaw: 🤷🏻‍♀️at least they got your house colors right in the movies and official merch.

[@fantasygeek13]

EXACTLY

[@candycemonroe7345]

Agreed

[@lavieenrose7618]

YES!!!

[@coreym.9125]

AGREED!!

[@rebeccadawson6864]

Not to mention the mascot

[@robertstucker6638]

Molly, this was great. I know that when we are at Universal Studios in mid-September the lines will be shorter, but the methods used by Universal to estimate wait time will be about the same percentage off. Thanks for all y'all do.

[@LaLunaLady]

You must have the patience of a saint to stand in lines that long to provide us with amazing content. Thank you!

[@loren0486]

Tysm for all of these videos. First time going to Disney Land and Universal is coming up in the spring and I feel super prepared thanks to you!

[@brittanywood2807]

Please MOLLY make us a trapped in the UK pavilion at Epcot video!!

[@kimmikruszewski1399]

Love The Mummy ride, ET, Spider-Man. Can’t wait to ride all the newer rides in IOA in October. I rode all the newer ones in Studios part. Just have to see the Bourne Stuntshow over there. Then that’s it.

[@jeffwood601]

That was a great video! Very helpful.

[@emilyherman4091]

Love the universal videos, I’m going in a week and I can’t wait!!

[@jonshera]

I just went yesterday and I’m going again soon

[@alessandraorfano2097]

@@jonshera how it was? Packed? Thinking if will be the same in 10 days, now they put back the masks, or if people won’t care at all and will be too crowded. Trying to decide if I get the express pass( hotel) or not.

[@inkedenvy4205]

Think I should get a fast pass for a Saturday?

[@snapsslm]

Still hoping for some behind the scenes All Ears content. How does he team plan videos? Maybe a glimpse into a week in the life of Molly. I’m always curious how many videos are in progress at any given time.

[@DiannJ]

Yay Molly!! Please keep making Universal videos! I need to learn about Universal from a Disney person because I am a Disney person going to Universal next week for the first time ever! Thank you for this video!!

[@prudencesanfratello5135]

Love your videos, Molly. Should do some weekly challenges at Universal and IOA.

[@chrisyoungblood1421]

Hey Molly! Gryffindor!! 😉

[@LPlandOFazul]

Why did Universal get rid of mobile ordering? Did they not have it in place before the pandemic? Disney did but a lot of people didn't use it. It's so convenient now to just order ahead and then walk over while it's being prepared than waiting in a long line.

[@timeabarna6882]

Thanks again for another very entertaining and informative video. Please keep them coming :)

[@bigkid4585]

Love u !! Also beautiful ! Thanks

[@DIANAIRBOEING]

Molly!! I'll be there on November, and I'm so scared and excited to ride the velocicoaster but I can't wait to get in, it's my first time in velocicoaster and my 4rth in universal, I'm from Colombia!! Regards!! 😊

[@leahdavis6040]

The last time I went to Universal Hagrid’s motorbike ride was still pretty new. The wait was around 2.5 hours so my dad and I did not ride it but I hope to in the future! It looks fun!!

[@mjiron1693]

Ron is literally my favorite character I'm gonna cry Besides that, I loooove watching your videos! I'm from Costa Rica and I went there for the first time on March this year, and I still miss it! I will not accept any Ron slander but I forgive you haha

[@haley9117]

how does hagrids work with early park admission and the new virtual line?? do you just get to scan the QR code earlier, or are you allowed to wait in a standby line for that early hour?

[@kimsokolski2680]

Only a Slytherin would think Ron was a bad friend!😆

[@katyawent4684]

question! what pre-shows are open now?

[@sithlordadventures3575]

Fall out boy came up with the song

[@ashleyrose1751]

Justice for the snake! With you Molly

[@blissfuljoy6049]

Sort of random question...what do the cast members do if you have a toddler with you that refuses to go on a ride at the last minute? Will they give you a rider swap if it's available or do you just have to leave?

[@kirstyr2354]

I’m new to the channel. Have you done the challenge trying to ride every single ride at Universal/IOA from park opening to close? Seen it on Oyby’s channel doing it with the summer crowds x

[@katehutley3367]

What type of raincoat do you wear?

[@RedMary9790]

Oh no. I had only recently discovered your videos and really was enjoying you! And then you said Ron is the worst character…. Can’t accept Ron slander.

[@NickBrunet]

As a fellow Slytherin.... JUSTICE FOR SLYTHERIN (and the snake)!! 😭🐍

[@rmannayr2129]

THE WAIT TIMES AREN'T THAT BAD COMPARED TO DISNEY!

[@nickmoney]

One thing that Universal epically fails at, the sightlines of from area to area. Kills all land emersion.

[@SamSitar]

how do you find your stuff after riding hulk?

[@veronicajude]

"Which Harry Potter character is the worst, and why is it Ron Weasley?" Spot on, Molly! He infuriated me in the books because he was a trash friend and had a horrible attitude so much of the time.

[@DarkMasterofCupcakes]

Ron in the first 2 books, I do honestly love him. But kinda starting in Book 3 and especially in Book 4 and beyond, he does start to come across like a pretty bad friend, yeah.

[@saraeiden6991]

Hey Molly! I'm going Monday & Tuesday, how have lines been recently?!

[@macdancer37]

Would love to see a “have your least efficient park day” video. Is that too evil?

[@lilly.kandjayden.dtatum.e6733]

I was there like yesterday I just got back home I’m so glad to be back but it was fun being at Universal and at Walt Disney World

[@lenaapple1974]

oh snap! Was this done yesterday by chance? We had some sick storms roll in yesterday afternoon!

[@kawardle]

Probably not. I think Molly is in Cali. She has been posting on Instagram from Disneyland and Universal Hollywood.

[@carsonwatkins1973]

I was wondering more specifically what month and what day of the week you went? 😊

[@KoyaKoala413]

All Ears should make more universal videos. Also more Harry Potter based ones with Molly

[@terryrichardson5493]

Who knew that Graboids came from Skull Island. Thank goodness it's caged up!!!!

[@Emily-Christine]

If you're going to stay at a resort because of the "free" express pass make sure you calculate the costs your self. For two of us it ended being cheaper to buy our express passes and stay at cabana as opposed to staying at the hard Rock

[@dw351]

Do you think the express pass was worth it? Im going in August, should i get it?

[@Emily-Christine]

@@dw351 100% I've been twice the first time we didn't have them and the second we did we were able to get everything done we wanted, multiple times, before the afternoon. If you can fit it in your bidget I would definitely reccomend. (Also unless it's a must do don't ride the hogwarts express it is always the longest wait time and it's not really worth it, it just eats up park time)

[@dw351]

@@Emily-Christine thanks so much for your insight. Trying to do both disney and universal. Im in nursing school so i only get a week of vaca so im sparing no expense😂 lol

[@delrheawatson5603]

Four of us stayed at Hard Rock and it was totally worth it. We were able to walk to the parks, less than a 10 minute walk. We were able to walk right on most rides, but full disclosure: we went in early December a year ago. The only downside was missing the queue. I realized watching this video that the entire queue at King Kong is awesome, and we never saw it!

[@Adamm___]

Am i the only who who skips to the food parts? lol 🙊 😝

[@nicholasperez7866]

What day is this?

[@zachityzachhh4394]

Anyone wish they had a sorting hat attraction? I know it would be difficult with the pandemic but even if it wasn’t accurate it would be so cool to get sorted at Universal instead of just the PotterMore thing we have now

what does "TM" stand for?

Trademark. It means the name is trademarked.

[@AbbieM82]

If I’m a single rider and go through the standby line, will I get to ride by myself or will they seat a stranger next to me?

[@sheilasutardi1363]

They’ll seat someone from the single rider line next to you. I’m not sure if you could request the TM to keep the seat empty

[@bjornemccomb8262]

When you’re doing the videos make sure you say what day you did them like what day of the week as this matters to people planning their days.

If my fiancé doesn't want to ride the Harry Potter rides (severe motion sickness) but wants to see inside Hogwarts or Gringotts, where is the best place for him to exit before the ride?

[@shebreatheslove1]

I remember eating right before you get on the line. Hope that helps! Walking through is worth it IMO especially if it’s your first time.

[@shebreatheslove1]

*exiting

[@whitneyadams4628]

If you go through Hogwarts, theres a place close to the loading area that they can exit and itll take him right to the gift shop where you'll come out Just tell them when going in that hes not riding.
