One trick to let people know Universal sells lanyards and water resistant pouches that attached to the lanyards and you can wear them around your neck and get a print off ticket to put inside the pouch. All you do is hold pouch up and they can scan it and put it inside your shirt on rides like roller coasters and it wont come off your neck. The lanyards and pouches can be purchased on Universal Store online or inside the theme park. Another thing you can purchase a cup to refill all day long so your not paying for drinks when you need one threw out the day

[@TheParkProdigy]

These are great to add for first time visitors!! Thanks so much for checking out our video!

[@TravelingwithJenny]

Great video! We are going this week, my biggest take away were: bring a collapsible cup, bring a clear lanyard so you don’t lock up your ticket on accident, bring a battery pack for your phone, shows are a good way to get out of the sun, wear comfortable clothes.

[@TheParkProdigy]

I hope you have an amazing vacation!!

[@fourlittlebirds6166]

City walk sit down dining (nicer places) are amazing!!! Don’t miss out on those.

[@fourlittlebirds6166]

Bring an empty water bottle or collapsible cup with carabiner attached. You can get free ice and water from any Coke freestyle machines in parks and city walk. Lockers for ride are long and slim. So you need to lay your bottle on its side to fit. So it needs to be empty. Avoid this by using a collapsible cup!

[@Botinanutshell]

I'm going in May, very helpful!!!

[@TheParkProdigy]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@fourlittlebirds6166]

From a cast member; the reason why they don’t have the Hogwarts castle night time shows and singing frog shows etc posted is because it’s coming straight from the top. They have to get permission from JK Rowling for a set schedule. (While keeping all theming immersive) it also means they can’t post regular set schedules for any HP themed shows.

[@TheParkProdigy]

Thanks so much for sharing!!

[@2dietetics]

That is crazy! But got to know!!

[@someoneout-there2165]

1.5 years for Epic Universe .. can't get here soon enough. I was shocked to hear FL hasn't had a brand new theme park in 20 years. Considering the Harry Potter rides are above all in the world in terms of the tech, they're still like 10 years old. Can't wait to find out how amazing Universal's new dark rides will be with 10 years of advancements

[@TheParkProdigy]

the countdown begins!

[@tobyyawn24]

Yep early park admission is great

[@TheParkProdigy]

Love it!

[@SmuddgerSmiff]

Hi guys, thanks so much for the useful information. We’ve got tickets to the 7th June night, our first one and (definitely from what we’ve learn so far) not our last. It’s going to be nuts, as massive Universal fans I’m sure it’ll be amazing. 🤜🤛🏆❤️🎉🎉

[@TheParkProdigy]

Have a great time!

[@letsroamaround2189]

Going to orlando for the first time in october (i'm coming from Belgium), luckly we have a local friend there where we can stay at and he knows all the tips and tricks!

[@TheParkProdigy]

Have an amazing trip!!

[@Em_Dee_Aitch]

I’m freaking out just listening to your advice. This is NOT my idea of a vacation, but my son is 8.

[@TheParkProdigy]

Lol, you'll be okay Universal is easy once you get down there. Hope you all have an amazing time!

[@Weissmjm1]

Thanks so much for all the helpful info! Going in March and will put some tips to good use. Question: Where were you showing footage of at 19:36? Was that a HP show or ride?

[@TheParkProdigy]

Hi, thanks so much for checking out our videos! That will be the pre-show on the ride Harry Potter and the escape from Gringotts in Diagon Alley!

[@triceknowles934]

Possible possible to snap, so good morning Bluetooth what is the show me

[@abdulrahaman3016]

Thank you so much for the precious tips!! I am planning to take my parents (who are in their late 50's) in March. I am not sure if universal is a right idea because my dad has heart problem and that we wont be able to experience most of the rides because of this issue. Can you kindly advise please?

[@TheParkProdigy]

Each ride does have warnings and restrictions but the good thing about Universal is that there is a lot to do besides the thrilling attractions!

[@ABD-vm8gb]

Thank you

[@hayleehartzell9254]

Question please!! My phone has my tickets and hopefully my fast pass soon as well. So what happens on the rides I need to lock my phone up? How will I scan for fast pass and get back into the locker? I don’t wanna lose my phone on a ride. And I could bring a paper copy of my ticket but not the fast pass if it’s mobile right? And then I worry if it gets wet. ADVICE PLEASE:):) Thanks!!!

[@TheParkProdigy]

I would be sure to stop by and ask a team member, as I’m sure they have a system for phone tickets and you can also always grab paper tickets from any of the booths even if you have the tickets on your phone!!

[@twarford0214]

They have lanyards you can buy wear around your neck and you can insert your print out ticket inside the pouch you buy that goes with it. They are water resistant you can buy the lanyard and pouches at Universal or online at Universal online store. Makes it easier then your phone to use all day just hold it up and they can scan it for rides

[@briannguyen1134]

How do you get your stuff if you lock your locker with the key inside

[@bryancurdi451]

If you remember the locket number, you can ask a team member.

[@briannguyen1134]

Thanks

[@shereenwallace7790]

I'm gonna have to email you, I'm trying to plan a trip in 2025 but with the new park opening it's getting confusing. What tickets would be best or would it be better to get a season passes for 3 people? Thank you so much for your videos it has helped so much with planning its just the details now!

[@TheParkProdigy]

Hi Shereen, we don't have much info on how the tickets will work with the newest park just yet. However, we would love to help in any way we can when the info is released! You can email me at [e-mail]

[@darcibalog5133]

I enjoy these videos but like you plug your business sooooo much 😂😂

[@TheParkProdigy]

Just trying to make a living before A.I. takes over the world 😂

[@someoneout-there2165]

Haha .. even still if they have motion sickness they should try it once, it's amazing and it's worth riding just once even if you throw up after.

[@TheParkProdigy]

Lolol the problem is I legitimately have thrown up coming off of this ride and not only was I embarrassed but it made me feel terrible for the rest of the day. I'm just trying to warn as many as possible so they can make the best decision for them!

[@christinedaae7323]

What is the Ring-Tailed Lemur’s name, again?

[@pokelover66544]

King Julian

[@fourlittlebirds6166]

Bring Pepto! And any motion sickness pills you may have. A lot of the rides are CGI and motion simulator.

[@itzchompa]

Are shows free with price of admission

[@TheParkProdigy]

Yes!

[@emilyroseb0912]

Howarts express is a waste of time definitely would not wait more than 30 minutes to ride it

[@JustCliff]

I want to plan a week vacation for when epic universe launches next year. Would it theoretically be cheaper to buy a Season pass for all 3 parks (studios, island, and epic), buy separate tickets for the parks, or get a vacation package ( the goal is to stay at the Helios hotel to have quick access to Super Nintendo Land and the Ministry of Magic ). The plan is to make my way backwards from Epic to Isles then to Studios via the Hogwarts Express

[@TheParkProdigy]

It’s a great question but really too early to tell as we don’t know how epic will be priced into tickets just yet!

[@christinedaae7323]

Be sure to train and condition yourself for a ton of Walking! You will be doing a ton of Walking!

[@TheParkProdigy]

Great tip!!

[@rongamble9884]

News flash universal just announced that they are charging for lockers now ALL lockers!!!!

[@TheParkProdigy]

I believe they still have small lockers for free!

[@unicornblossomsunshine3094]

Howbmany nights need? With 3 kids

[@TheParkProdigy]

It really all depends on how old your kids are and which rides they would like to go on but to be safe I would start with one day for each park!

[@paulphillips9082]

The park is way too complicated to figure out. I would never go there. Unless your a Harry Potter freak0 forget it. Some rides are included, some parks are and are not included, this ride is not included, on and on and on...

[@TheParkProdigy]

Just let us know how we can help with any questions you might have!
