That app map doesn't label enough facilities, so I HIGHLY recommend a paper map to go along with the app (sorry). The paper map has a comprehensive list of rides and restaurants. You can circle the attractions that you want to visit so you get a better perspective of which are in close proximity. This helps to avoid walking all over when another ride is close by. The app will show you where you are and you can compare with your prepared paper map. My opinion--they need to upgrade the app so that you can touch the screen and have it tell you what every building is. They also need better signs in the park.

So true. The app map isn't good. That's true at all parks. I will always use a paper map. More user friendly, more info, easier to find things. If the issue is that you don't look cool if you use a paper map, I gave up trying to look cool a long time ago.

Since you do valet so much, you've forgotten a BIG rookie mistake so many make everyday!!! Don't forget to take a picture of where you parked. After a long day in the hot sun you may forget if you are in Kong, Spider-man, or ET. Having a photo in your phone (AND the app), can save you TONS of time walking around the garages setting off your car alarm trying to figure out if you are even on the right floor.

I didn't realize we missed it until we got back home then I told my husband we had to go back the next year to make it up. Also, didn't know anything about Noctourn Alley until last year. We walked through there for the first time in November.

Just a heads up, if you want to ride the front row on Velocicoaster, do standby line, do not use single rider line. They will fill you wherever there’s an empty seat on the coaster, and that doesn’t guarantee it will be the front row. BTW, front row on Velocicoaster is where it’s at, way too much fun!

I just started to watch your videos and find them very helpful. I have an adult son with autism. We just recently took him to Universal Studios in Florida. It was our first time there. Perhaps you can put together a video with suggestions on the best way to go to Universal Studios for adults and children with sensory issues. It would have made our trip a little less stressful. The staff at Universal are great and understanding. It would be great to know exactly where the best quiet areas are and which attractions are the least loud, fast, and furious. Thanks

Other rookie mistakes: 1) If you are wanting to go straight to Gringotts, use the 2nd Diagon Alley entrance beyond the 1st one. 2) Don’t have the entire family or group at the lockers. Send a person or two with all the belongings. This is especially bad at Mummy and Gringotts. 3) Not using the hidden lockers at Gringotts. You pass them when you exit the ride itself. These are almost never utilized as everyone crowds into that little room. Including annoying group members who aren’t lockering anything. 4) Your group/family walking 4-8 abreast, creating a human wall. Break it up a little and walk in 2s or 3s, or expect to get pushed out of the way by faster walking people. 5) Standing on the left on the moving walkways after security and before CityWalk. That’s the passing lane.

I work at Universal and two big mistakes is people not paying attention to operating hours or attraction closures. I had a father and son a couple months back get upset because the parks closed at 6 (IOA) and 7(USF) and all I could do was direct them to guest services in the next area. Even when we have walls up to indicate ‘this attraction is closed for refurbishment’ somehow guests will still assume they can ride it. Heck sometimes guests will be a little, well, dumb on where something is logically going to be. They always assume the dinosaur rides are in Toon Lagoon instead of Jurassic Park. Another mistake is not knowing the actual name of the places you’re going to. I’ve had quite a number of guests not be able to tell me what they’re looking for but eventually gave me one word that told me exactly what they’re looking for and I have to tell them it’s back in the direction they just came from, at the other side of the park where there’s no short way over or it’s in the other park altogether. Sometimes team members will give wrong directions by mistake because of this. I remember one where the guest was trying to get to their table serve restaurant for dinner and my coworker started giving the guest directions to Confisco instead of Mythos. Even though I was busy helping get another guest order at the time I quickly wrapped that up and gave the guest the correct directions to get to Mythos. Yes some team members mix places up as well, especially those two restaurants. I even had a team member not know how to point guests to Marvel even though we are right next to them.

I see all those mistakes too. I've been going to Orlando every third year since 1990 - I think I know what I'm talking about. The most Rookie mistake I see, Douglas Freer, are people who insist on bringing their own food into the parks. They say they do it to save money and that they're being "clever" but then they leave without having sampled the incredible food at all the restaurants on offer. I think everyone should spend at least half their day exploring all the options that there are.

Going early tip, ya we stayed on property and arrived prior to park opening along with every other family who stayed on property. It was insanely crowded, like a mosh pit at a Miley Cyrus concert crowded. Then after pushing through the mosh pit (after waiting in line for transportation to the park and another line to enter park) we got to wait in more lines at rides because the rides don't open until much later. Miserable experience overall.

Thank you for the collapsible cup tip!! Can you advise of the least expensive time(s) of year to stay at hard rock resort? It’s my son’s favorite, but the cost is what stands in our way of going more often:(

Thank you for this helpful video. Do they allow guests to bring their own water bottle in with them? For example: a Nalgene.

Yes, you can bring your own bottles in. You can even sneak booze in this way!

you are right when you say single rider lines are not worth it for Jurrascoaster, but you miss so much if you do single rider for any of the HP rides.

These videos are insanely helpful! I was a Disney guy way before moving to Florida, but this December I got my wife and I a Harry Potter vacation package to celebrate our 3rd year of marriage. I am not a know it all like in Walt Disney World! With Disney suspending the higher tiers of APs, we may end up getting UOAP if all goes well and I have you and Nikki to thank!

Absolutely spent too much time trying to find Diagon Alley last year. From across the park I could see the dragon but when we got close, she disappeared. I was so mad!

Another mistake is if a guest is going to be visiting Universal Orlando for more than 3 times within a year should obtain a season pass.

Not a big fan of the phone map except to display your location. Even then, there's not enough labeling to clearly tell you how to get to where you want to go.

Hi Rix, please would you be able to help me with a question. I am from the UK, and visit Orlando most years. When I go to Disney, customer relations put a DAS pass onto my Disney planner to access the virtual queues, as I have malignant melanoma cancer and need to stay in the shade while queuing. I have not visited Universal in a while but have booked for the end of the year. Do Universal have a similar scheme? Hope you might know. Love watching your vlogs and information is knowledge. 😊

This is a trip for getting to the park. If you are renting a car, Florida has toll roads to save travel time the Florida DOT sells temporary toll fast passes and you can buy them in the Orlando Airport.
