13 Things You NEED to Bring to Universal Studios Hollywood

Today I'm at Universal Studios Hollywood to share with you a list of items you don't want to forget to pack on your next trip to Southern California.

Some of these items are no brainers that even the most seasoned theme park veterans can still forget from time to time (guilty!), and others are Universal Studios Hollywood specific.

If your interactive Harry Potter wand is not working properly, it might be because the tip is scratched. If this is the case, the wand shops at Universal will repair it for free and it just takes a few minutes. Try this before buying a whole new one.

Yay!! We are exploring Universal next month for the first time in about 7 years ! Thank you for the tips ! Your videos of Disneyland have always been our saving grace and knew your Universal videos would be super helpful here too ! Wasn’t disappointed !! 🎉🎉

My teens are HP fans so the wands were a great purchase, they spent hours doing all “magic” over and over. It’s expensive but they decided to spent their savings on it. Did not disappoint. Power bands on Nintendo only my boy wanted, and me :) so much fun!!!

Number 1 should be Snacks and Water other than that really loved the video :)

We’ve done the wand repair multiple times in Orlando - pretty sure they just replaced it as it was a bit different color. But now we have some older versions from early 2022 and they won’t “fix” those since they no longer sell those models.

Another helpful thing to bring for wands is eraser tips, the cheap kind that go over pencil tops, to cover the wand tips when not doing spells. Really cuts down on accidental scratches to the tip especially with kids.

I love the honesty! Thanks for the info, we don't have time for Universal Studios but it looks fun!

[calvinreed]

No way!!! We came out to Disney land yesterday and today looking for you!!! Can’t believe we missed you and we are going to universal tomorrow!!

[jennifergonzalez]

This is definitely very helpful. Thanks for all your informative videos.

I used my neck fan everyday last week in Disneyland and Universal, and even just out in LA, and it was great. I saw so many people with them! If you have long hair though, bring a hair tie otherwise your hair gets sucked into the fan part lol

Going for 2-days in early August (mid week) and will pay for the early Mario entry. Think I need to also get express if we plan to stay from open to close?

[dasedworld]

There are actually elevators for anyone to use. Well almost. If anyone is super scared of heights, get vertigo (like I do), have a special needs kiddo who won’t stay still - you can let a worker know about it and they’ll let you wait for the elevator/bus to get up and down! ❤

[kristenhoskin]

Do you know if the power up bands run out of batteries? We bought them last year and wondering if we can still use the same ones?

[juanserrano]

Come on I want you to do water park videos like Wild Rivers to beat the heat🥵

[jasyn]

It would be awesome if you did the VIP tour there and let us know your thoughts. It's an amazing tour!

[MattCastllo]

Would i have to go to guest services for a paper ticket….? And would i have to do the same for HHN?

[mik]

For the lockers do Fanny packs have to go in them? Or just larger bags?

[wendypoloway]

Thanks for the info, I will be going to Universal in November and this video was full of interesting information

[davidmichael]

I heard u talk about the lockers, but my question is what if I have a leg bag. Like the kind u would see on someone who rides a motorcycle. Would they make u put that bag in the locker to?
