Universal Studios Florida Update! | Trying NEW Foods, KidZone Closures, New Street Show & More!

In today's vlog we head to Universal Studios to see what's new! We haven't been to Universal for a little while so it was so great to be back in the parks, and so much had changed since our last visit. We tried the new menu at La Bamba, which is now open to the public, it used to be used for the VIP tours only so this is a great addition to the park foods. We also ride The Mummy finally! We couldn't film it unfortunately but we talk about the changes we noticed. Then we head back to KidZone which is closing to make some big changes. We'll be sad to see some things go but excited to see what will come of that area in the future. We had a blast today and we hope you had fun joining along! Thank you for watching and we'll see you tomorrow with a new vid!

[@madsmom22]

Just have to mention: I love Jen's editing, especially when Tim is eating - his voice continues with description while he is eating/chewing. Simple thing but it flows nicely. I've noticed it's better than one of the other channel I sometimes watch from the Orlando area. Great job, Jen!

[@rachelyea520]

I'm currently struggling with life. Your vlogs take me away for a moment. Filled with goodies and updates. I feel important for the time🥺 You and Jenn are amazing. So sweet and kind to everyone. I just want to thank you guys for doing exactly what you do! It's honestly the only time I have that my brain goes quiet. 🙏❤️🏰

[@rmannayr2129]

THEME PARK PIGEON IS BACK! ALSO TIM'S REACTIONS TO THE TACOS WAS HILARIOUS!

[@BrewCityGillz]

15:28 - Theme park pigeon theme song returns! Never gets old, Tim. 😁

[@monicaf.4257]

The disappointment in Tim's voice when he opened his tacos and saw how small they were 🤣

[@silver10188]

I think it's a good thing so you stay light.

[@ladybee4998]

I always give a thumbs up when there’s a “Theme Park Pigeon” song in the video 👍

[@casssandracatriona]

“Theme park pigeon walking down the street” (my fav Tim saying ever)😂

[@ThemeParkAngel]

Love that Tim had to eat before going on the mummy lol

[@liahoran6054]

My family and I met Tim this day! My mom was starstrucked and thought I was messing around when I told her I saw him😂 We had a brief conversation because none of my family knew how to act around a celebrity and didn’t want to be a bother lol! He was too sweet. Thank you Tim for being the highlight of our vacation!

[@JessicaRenee84]

Was this Saturday, yesterday? I was literally just there tonight!!

[@TiggiTheWillful]

I don’t think Tim would call himself a celebrity at all, he’s a popular KZbinr instead ❤️Glad you got to meet him.

[@christopherkincannon]

Omg I will need the same talk lol😊😊😅😅

[@watson0928]

So sad to see those rides close such a fun area but ready for something new 🎉

[@alexisonfire0517]

THEME PARK PIGEON HAS FINALLY RETURNED! :)

[@theskullspookychannel6343]

Tim forgot Fieval's Playland was also closing along with the water slide (I believe the last time he rode it is when he did the Universal water ride challenge back in 2018)

[@CoreyMarinoGames]

ET dark ride looks fun. Wish some of the older films had something similar like. Would like to see a new BttF

[@ajserviced.1760]

Hi, thanks for all the updates. I haven't been to Universal since the 1990s , and it's sad when things change, but usually something cool replaces them. E.T. was the first ride we rode back then, and it looks amazing still. We can't wait to finally go back in 2024. Thanks for keeping us updated on parks. Be Safe Take Care ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@SuMMeRFLi5]

I love your Universal vlogs!! Thanks for the fun Tim!

[@solcarlosofficial]

I believe if they updated the lights and animatronics at ET it would be as cool as center of the earth at Tokyo dianey sea

[@ThemeParkAngel]

Agreed! It would be amazing to see an update, maybe add a new wow factor with a moving ET

[@gardenofnightmares]

The “Carnival” voiceover sent me! 🤣🤣

[@jenniferp5996]

Laughed (LOL) at the Burrito “blow out” comment. 😂. Sorry just mom\grandma here. Blow outs around here mean something else. lol 😂

[@vicventures9823]

Great views of Universal Studios Orlando, Tim. Your commentary is always appreciated and spot on. It keeps me excited for my next trip plans to the Orlando area. Hope to run into you when I visit!

[@elisegolden7949]

Did no one else see the girl behind Tim wave her wand and then disappear??? It’s at 11:57. Perfect editing 😂

[@josephtomaszewski5742]

Hello trackers, we, Kathie and Joey Tomaszewski from Milledgeville GA USA, enjoy your Park reviews and your family 🙏🙏😇😇

[@TiffsHappilyEverAfter]

I used to work in Kidzone at Woody Woodpecker’s Nuthouse Coaster, Curious George, and Animal Actor’s (it was Animal Planet Live when I worked there). Then I got pregnant and worked at ET. I later moved over to Islands of Adventure merchandise in Toon Lagoon. I definitely have lots of memories from working there. Sad to see Kidzone go, but it needed an upgrade. My son is now 20, so it was 20 plus years ago lol…I feel old.

[@PyronicHC]

Gotta love seeing my mom and sis coming up behind to ask for a pic and realized he was filming at 15:31 lmaooooo

[@ck2d]

There is a ball pit like that at Storyland in New Hampshire.

[@Johnsmith-ob3xt]

Took my youngest son to see Barney when he was 6 hes now 32 was a great little part of the park

[@haileylanoue6552]

i love when you wear your hslot shirt , a real harrie right here

[@ThisIsEloy3]

Love the Jaws theme in the background of the video’s intro🥲🥲🥲#VivaLaJaws

[@meggie4273]

Thanks for the updates! I'm planning a trip for later this year and it's nice to see the changes over time. Hope La Bamba is still open then.

[@amandatate8777]

The pigeon walking from the mummies song was epic!!!! 😂

[@pegedey1291]

Tim enjoy your mexican! Those look like street tacos like my family loved in California from the tacorilla down the street.

[@katc4786]

When I was 4 I cried on ET for the first time and that was my very first theme park ride ever. I think Disney was just more exspenisve for my family.

[@bigc1280]

Did you guys finish the Aulani videos yet?

[@shanecrist280]

The Woody Wood Pecker coaster was my daughter's first big kid coaster when she was 3.5 years old. So sad to see it go

[@edbreez]

Been watching for years and years!! Such a big fan and supporter!! Keep it up Tim and Jen!

[@jbeam8226]

That’s so interesting, in 7:49 you see the computer for the cashier using a windows Lock Screen, wonder why one they haven’t changed it, and two how the software runs on the machine

[@alyssak28]

Theme park pigeon running from the mummies...amazing 😂

[@courtneyceasar7878]

Love the Universal videos!!

[@Tammy-oi2pp]

If you've taught me anything about Theme Parks is that the they're Always in some mode of change I'm happy you had the chance to catch a few last rides And Eat some ITS pretty alright 👍 foods 😋 Thank you for this trip Tim I really appreciate 💗 it 😊

[@goalkick99xx]

Love the Love on Tour tshirt!! We love a Disney and Harry Stan! ❤

[@coleruttley2631]

I hope you enjoyed the last minute of Woody Woodpecker’s Kidzone, because most of the attractions are closing TOMORROW! This means Woody Woodpecker’s Nuthouse Coaster, Fievel’s Playland, Curious George Goes To Town, and the Dreamworks Destination are memories. With the exception of E.T. Adventure, SpongeBob Storepants, Animal Actors, and Kidzone Pizza Company to remain open for guests to enjoy! We may not know what attractions will be a nice replacement, but let’s find out what the future holds! Universal Orlando will probably bring new Family Fun attractions with beloved animated characters! Either from Illumination, Dreamworks, or maybe a copy of Super Nintendo World like at Universal Studios Japan and Universal Studios Hollywood that recently had a soft opening. But, again…. we never know, but we may find out sooner or later!

[@jasonbenfield1484]

rumors say it's gonna be dreamworks

[@sophiagee4458]

Happy Sunday Funday!

[@Camquarters]

So envious that you still have the ET ride

[@ThemeParkAngel]

It's amazing! Lol

[@kellybenko2828]

Even though they were tiny, $12 wasn't too bad. A basic taco at Taco Bell is between $2-$3 now, and you don't even get chips or anything

[@Blitzjewel]

So strange to think that I may have worked the last house for Horror Nights that was based primarily out of KidZone, hoping the area is still available for the event in the future as that parade building was always my favorite to work out of.

[@tylerriley2587]

I went there last year for the first time with my family had a great time

[@tess4492]

I ♥️ my theme park pigeon shirt. It’s so comfy! I wear it a lot.

[@CallardAndBowser]

Will you guys be taking Jackson to see the new Mario World Park in Hollywood soon?

[@sydneyjennings4316]

i assume they will eventually, a few videos ago i’m sorry i don’t remember which one, tim mentioned that it will be right around when the new baby is born and their will be previews of the land but it is to much of a hassle to sort that all out. i hope that was able to help!

[@wanupgirl]

Jenn can't travel right now because she's due soon.

[@dabombbolain]

Fun 😊

[@christophermendoza6936]

Hadn’t watched your videos in a while. But super happy it was at Universal, I love your Universal videos. And that vid of you eating that Mexican food got me super hungry, I definitely gotta eat there one day. I used to always pass by there not even knowing it was a Restaurant

[@ShaFlowersWorld]

“Theme park pigeon walking through the streets he’s running away from the mummies”

[@nicb2073]

I haven't watched ET in years ! Where can you even watch?! Thanks for the video Tim & Jenn!

[@rmannayr2129]

RIP KIDZONE!

[@mrj2233]

0:35 Happy I can report on my vacation visit that the new City Walk universal sign was put up today!

[@ChinaDollTravels]

I gotta check it out before it closes too

[@jeffreyhilliker9592]

I still like the ET ride it’s neat. I bet a lot of people don’t know that the whole section past there exists where the Barney theater, ect is

[@Allan-rz8ug]

I'll be there on April 12th so right near the end of Mardi Gras but still counts :-)

[@janthegeek]

I rode the Mummy back in December aside from it being kind of bumpy the only issue I encountered was when the scene when the cart rotates before the launch the lights were turned on so it ruined the immersion for me.

[@Frank-ed3db]

Better off going to Antojito and I am sure there going to run out of those lanyards pretty quick before we can get there 😮

[@jonathansmith9597]

Just misssed ya me and my family booked a trip and were hoping to see you. When you were at the parks we were at volcano bay. Maybe next time

[@jacominoc]

When you’re eating the tacos there was a lady in the background who takes out a wand and the moment she swirls it around an edit came in and she disappeared 😂 I can’t help but always notice random stuff in the background of videos lol 😌

[@nicolegaines914]

I like this video

[@tiffanyann9763]

❤❤❤

[@dannygrau2983]

Question do they allow filming on the e t ride? I want to know.

[@Charlie-fi3js]

Hey Tim that’s a QR Code on the table, you have to hold the phone up with the camera over the QR it’ll ever directly send your phone to the right page or request you to click on the highlighted QR that it will show on your phone. The same way you use QR directly via your phone camera

[@Flipperwi715]

Pigeon= I died laughing.

[@DragonWarriorMama]

Hoping to get to Universal one day

[@lauraprice5001]

Is universal studios going to have a Mardi Gras tribute store this year ?

[@MacUPayne1]

“Carnival”😂

[@blastxx7628]

Can anybody explain the transformers wait?? I went there about a week and a half ago and it was 190 minutes at one point! Did they change it? I always remember a quick 15 minute express walk-on but holy moly!

[@unicornrainbowpoop3779]

I know right?? It was my favorite 3D ride. I hate to see it having a higher wait time

[@BillHeslin]

Universal, Yay!

[@HHLoveYouMore]

ET movie is creepier as an adult than when I watched it as a child.

[@sablelover101]

ET said my name!

[@bomberghoulz]

Will you be going to supernintedo when it officially opens?

[@KeithO]

It’s great they do celebrations for all over the world, and I may have missed this, but do they do a lunar new year celebration?

[@kristiealexander7896]

No new track on Mummy. That was just a rumor. Love your videos.

[@waynee.weatherwax8408]

Tacos are Street Taco size

[@conswellowming7188]

[@LAV8684Random]

I like the way he updates us about the different parks and I especially like the way he Vlogs around the park it's always an interesting fact or event that he talks about while he is filming. Thanx 4 the gr8 videos. Even though I haven't subbed yet. I will do so when I'm ready 2.

Kinda tripping out over the parts where Tim is talking but mouth isn’t moving (assuming VO)

[@dundonoz]

More Minions?? 😔 surely there are loads of other IP they could use

[@LifeWithProHD]

I'm just gonna be honest, but Woody Woodpeckers kidzone should just be turned into a DreamWorks area cause Illumination is basically getting its own land with Illumination avenue. But knowing that Universal will get rid of the Simpsons by 2028, I think the Simpsons area should become a Kung Fu Panda area, and the Simpsons ride could be a Kung Fu Panda simulator attraction. And if Universal decides to remove Men in Black or at least retheme it, it should be Megamind or The Bad Guys. Then World Expo Springfield and Woody Woodpeckers kidzone can become 1 big DreamWorks area.

[@andrewwarren3962]

When will the next IOA video be coming?!??

[@heyitscarene]

Poor Tiny Taco Tim. 😔😅

[@melissahernandez3072]

Hey Tim Jenn and Jackson
