An Idiot’s Guide to UNIVERSAL ORLANDO RESORT 2024

This is my updated and hopefully improved introduction to Universal Orlando Resort aimed for first timers, or those in need of a refresh. I’ll be doing a tour of Universal Studios Florida, Islands of Adventure, including both Hogsmeade and Diagon Alley Wizarding World of Harry Potter Lands. I’ll also be giving guides on tickets, Universal Express Passes, CityWalk Orlando, Dining, Halloween Horror Nights and all hotel resorts.

Your videos are absolutely amazing - can’t imagine how much work / research goes into them. First trip to Universal in 15 years this August and your videos have been a godsend. Thanks for all that you do

[tomNONHDgaming]

The quality of these videos is unmatched and I really appreciate the effort that clearly goes into them. You’ve helped me so much.

[athbhreith]

I love this - you started with “what is Universal Orlando?” which was incredible. Thank you!

[davidchapman]

Honestly the best person to ever watch about Orlando

[voiceoverguyharris]

Thank you so much for this. Planning on a Disney trip this year with lots of our decisions based on your previous videos. Then for 2025, Will do something similar with universal. So this video is invaluable. Keep up the great content. Thanks

[LinhNguyen-zvji]

Great video. We just did Disney and now I’m researching on Universal Studios. I love the visual breakdowns and lists. Very well explained. I learned so much from this video. Thank you so much!

[markbtelevision]

Well done frugs. I’m a huge ambassador of your channel. I’m a power annual pass holder. Can’t wait to get back to Orlando

[wrc]

loving your work as always! Haven't made it to Orlando since pre-covid so great following your channel to plan our next trip!

[sunil]

Stumbled upon your channel, awesome work love it. keep going. thanks for your energy effort and time spent on creating videos

[danielporter]

Universal doesn’t have to dethrone the house of mouse, disney is doing that all on their own 😂

[dylangobel]

If you are planning ur very first ever trip to the resorts look at the premium hotels and go through the months certain days throughout the month they have Royal pacific and hard rock rooms going for under $300 for the night with the unlimited express pass and early park admission included and with them being so close to the parks ur able to get on hagrids super early and not a long wait time at all! I took my brother last month and paid $242 for Royal pacific(cheapest premium hotel) we got done with every ride at islands of adventure before 11:30am making the rest of the day a nice chill relaxing day at the parks and with the express passes didn’t have to wait long for anything!

I love all of your videos, they are so informative! I also love your voice ❤️

[leecrawley]

Great video again mate 👍
Epic Universe is going to change Universal Resorts by making it an actual competitor for Disney in the stay n play market.
With the 3 parks plus water park to be up and running next year it will definitely make it more inviting to stay, eat and do the parks all in your vacation.

[TaraMehta-sd]

there is so much to do thanks for breaking it down so we can all know about these stuff

[edvaira]

Hadn’t been able to make it back to the Florida parks since late 2019…but will be coming back in mid-February 2026(yay, Mardi Gras!) as we’re taking a bucket-list Panama Canal cruise out of LA (close to our San Diego home) and ending in Miami..and my wife agreed to spend an extra week in Orlando before we head home (SO VERY EXCITED we’ll get to visit Epic Universe!)

[tyheshajohnson]

This is like magic my son is going to be so excited bout this place I’m just hoping I can get some sleep cause he going to keep me so busy when we get there in December

[neilrichardson]

Absolute quality video, I'll definitely check out your others. I haven't been for just over 20 years now....parking was even free for every park the last time I went 😂

[baztaylor]

What an amazing video. Thank you for such an informative and detailed guide.

[WaterBug]

I’m local and in the parks about once a week and I just love your videos. I’m still learning new things thanks to you. ❤

[ryanjones]

Great video again, im going in mid-October this year. On the calender section, it showed it was red at that time...does that suggest it maybe busy?? Thank you
