[@heathertrent3881]

We will be at Universal in two weeks!! It is our first time!!

[@ryanlaukshtein4957]

Make sure you have express pass.

[@nickellfrancis6846]

Hey rix Nikki thank you for the Mardi Gras stream and happy Valentine’s Day 💕❤️

[@TD3Vlogs]

You and Nikki have kept us going for 29 months with these videos and next week we will finally be back in our favourite place. Thank you both ❤️🌎

[@damianspalma2524]

Great meeting you at the park yesterday! 👍😁 you are the real deal and our Man in the ground

[@mikedittenber5271]

I use my freestyle cup for water all the time! It’s so nice. My last trip I only “activated” it one of four days. One of my hacks is to start the day with a Tongue Tying Lemon Squash in Diagon Alley, pour it in my freestyle and just add water to the lemons throughout the day!

[@skolvikings27]

Mike! That's a fantastic hack... i'm writing that one down.

[@charleswolfe3395]

Does the freestyle cup fit in the ride lockers?

[@mikedittenber5271]

@@charleswolfe3395 They fit in the free lockers if they are empty and you can lay it on it’s side (most locker areas have a drain to dump it if needed). Or if you don’t want to empty it you’d have to pay for the $2.00 locker

[@laurae.3708]

Thank you two for this update!!! I am so excited to go back next month, so much has changed since New Years! Love the Mardi Grais crew crawl! And the food card idea that's awesome!

[@BishopBryant]

I'm so glad my wife and I were able to see you both and do the sign-offs at the end! It's always a highlight to catch Rick out and about in the parks when we go, and it was incredible to meet Nikki this time, as well! Blessings to you both!

[@michelleweintraub945]

Loved the video! I would like to see Universal keep those discounted food cards year round and make that their new dining plan. I also liked that crawl game it sounded cool also and I wouldn’t mind if they had something like that year round too. Again great video, keep them coming.

[@jccleveland6425]

We had the Cajun twisted tater, shrimp ceviche, jambalaya, muffuletta, and beignets. Everything was incredible except the muffuletta. It shouldn’t even be called that but other than that it was all so good!

[@bonnoujikokori7861]

After I got home from universal I looked at your live stream and saw myself! I wish I would've saw you guys on the float but it was cool anyways lol

[@Stilltaken]

Just sitting here waiting for my work call .6 am here thanks for the video.👍😎

[@david1b333]

Great Update...Thanks for the Livestream from the floats..my daughter loved it.

[@dandicristina1389]

I was there on Valentine's day had a awesome time

[@michelleculver238]

Those wet wipes are invaluable!! Def not for just those with kids…. They make FANTASTIC treatment to clothing that food was spilled on too!

[@seveniamassetti1493]

Hey guys thanks for the updates! I’m so excited for my trip! You guys have helped a lot with my planning! The beignets are a tradition in the New Orleans area so they are always around when Mardi Gra is being celebrated! I can’t wait to try them! And the PoBoy!

[@maldonadoruthie]

Thanks for the update food looks delicious

[@UncleIanYorkshire]

Nice update and the food looked great.

[@kathleensuhy1875]

They needed to do a pralines and cream crêpe!!!

[@andreabuelo1811]

It was great running into you Wednesday in front of Hard Rock Cafe. I wanted to thank you for the rixcommendation to do the Velocicoaster tour. It was amazing and we were able to ride the coaster in the front row afterwards. Definitely a major highlight of our trip 😊

[@carilasha4643]

We will be down in 3 weeks! It will be my first time visiting during Mardi gras and I’m so excited!

[@womblestacker7993]

Hi from uk can't wait go in June 22

[@jeffreygrant3066]

I’m very pleased to hear that mask are no longer needed. I’ll be vacationing there soon and was going to cancel are family vacation if mask were still required. Thank you for the update.

[@tonybadia]

Lmao

[@kazannakutz5404]

That lady trying to get hand sanitizer out of the photo pass scanner had me dying

[@craigbickham7650]

We were also disappointed that there was no seasonal crepe as well😞

[@cullenwilson4451]

I’m going March the 10th with my school choir!! Can’t wait.

[@lauralinkoff3776]

Would you happen to know if Universal honors AAA discounts? In the past you could save 10% on select merchandise or food

[@womblestacker7993]

Did you say no face mask

[@988JAG]

Yes as of today facemasks are no longer required indoors, in queues or on rides at Universal

[@massachusettscoasters]

I guess face mask mandate indoor locations and queue lines only last under 2 months this moment on

[@russelljackson1377]

Hi rix and Nikki

[@grin1776]

I'm not sure where to ask you questions but do you think Universal and islands will bring back the food plan this year?

[@malicesmom]

I've already hit the 👍🏻and I haven't even got to the announcement yet! (Cause I have a hunch I know what it is 🚫😷!!!)

[@melissawillms1789]

Are the food cards just available in the parks? Our first park day is April 25th so we're just missing out on Mardi Gras but we're checking in on April 24th. I wonder if I can pick one up at the hotel and use it starting on the 25th to save some money on food.

[@KimmieKayy]

Making me hungry 😋 can wait to try some treats next week when I’m there!

[@chrisadams4559]

Heading down in a week, can't wait. Love watching your videos. Question: for the discount food cards (or any payment for that matter) do you have to remove them from the plastic holder on a lanyard?

[@stevenmarvick30]

💖

[@Kragmachine]

Still so said to hear the Korean Beef is gone from the Taco Truck!! Those were my go to every time I visited universal

[@h3llfireclube388]

I’m in the car going to universal now

[@giselle5449]

How come the park closes early again ?

[@nyguy4u]

Love your videos. What kind of camera do you use to film these? Great quality.

[@CB-zv1ji]

I"M SO EXCITED !! My hubby and I leave for Universal tomorrow, and I was just saying yesterday how nice it would be if they would drop the mask requirement !! Yayyyyyyy !!!

[@selinawinestein4861]

Hi Guys, we are visiting in May and my daughter is turning 5yrs while we are out there. Is there anything special universal do for birthdays? X

[@vicguide4580]

If your Universal Studios today I told my daughter to say hi to you she'll be walking around with her mother and Grandma

[@tinamariepanzera1330]

What’s a conk?

[@kathiecollins9606]

Have you heard anything about the lanyards from last year? I have two almost full lanyards 😭

[@joeyjeong]

😀

[@FSUNoles25]

What, face mask are no longer required. Is that only for outside? What about mask for the rides or in line for a ride?

[@danbrown7494]

It was only for rides, ques and indoors before today...Now there is no requirement for them anywhere

[@tinamariepanzera1330]

What’s a binia?

[@planetuniversal8085]

The black and chicken po boy was not that good at least that's what my wife said and I had the shrimp gumbo and that was terrible

[@nicholasroeder5763]

Wow no more masks !?!? Thanks for the update

[@c0urtn3y526]

That's Betty White's star. They've blocked it so people didn't stack memorials on top of it.

[@RixFlix]

There are two stars covered, I believe one is for retiring executive Bill Davis

[@jasonstalter916]

I love it there we are moving down to Florida is 2 months I want to get seasonal passes

[@ShrimpNation1]

Maybe a valentine crape?

[@matthewlynch620]

If you have 3 days with park to park passes, should you be able to get to all rides?

[@RixFlix]

Yes

[@meganbramer4212]

My family and I just did 3 day park to park around thanksgiving and even with crazy crowd levels, we did a majority of the rides on the first day. We stayed at Loews royal pacific and got the express pass, but it allowed us to do everything we wanted (some things twice) in the span of 2 1/2 days

[@yesdaddy1815]

Do you need the vaccine to enter both parks or not

[@RixFlix]

No

[@lifewithkaty317]

Already having a wonderful Saturday then we get this news about dropping the diapers! What a great day!! May have to stop in to universal this afternoon! 🤗🤗🤗

[@kazannakutz5404]

I sure hope people are not dropping diapers as that would be disgusting

[@gavinsfriend3280]

I’m so happy to hear this. I’m going right after Easter and I’m so glad me and my family won’t have to wear masks.

[@tryagain4671]

It's pronounced rem-moo-lawd..

[@bills1779]

No more masks!??!??!!

[@travelhackertm268]

FREEDOM!!

[@petewilliamsxperience3556]

NO MORE MASKS?!?! NICEEEE; can't wait to be back soon!

[@rossgeoghegan7479]

Great video as usual! Love how they have got rid of the masks. Hope Disney follow suit

[@CECmass0325]

No masks!! Yay!!

[@lianelayman6584]

I hope when I go in Oct. I don't have to wear a mask.

[@wendykieffer9567]

No masks 😷 so happy. I hope it stays that way since we will not be there til early December. Can’t wait for our trip.

[@WifeMomTeacherLife]

So glad they did away with the masks. It definitely made the trip less enjoyable because of having to wear them on rides. Hated it!

[@bri019]

U forgot no masks🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 now if disney would only get off the political relm and go mask free

[@drdiarrhea1]

I bought annual passes because they didn't have the mask mandate. In the middle of my vacation they reimplemented masks. I was pissed! I asked for a refund which they denied. I told them I wouldn't come back if they didn't lift the mandate. I'm tired of the stupidity

[@davidborowski3037]

No masks! Awesome! 🍻
