  1. I stand by my word of you being underrated, the editing and your narrating is too good, oh and bit of a sidenote here, this happens to me too but, some of your videos' playlists, at least the Universal Orlando one, have some videos that slipped in there, basically you accidentally added some videos you have watched that have nothing to do with universal into the playlist, completely normal accident but i thought i should've told you that to let you know, either way, great, quality videos!!

  2. Yeah these are great videos in fairness. Returning to Orlando for the first time since 2012 this summer. I've no fear of Universal, but I'm slightly dreading the changes that the Mouse has made. I remember complaining back then how inferior the Disney parks were (never visited Universal as a kid) compared to my first visit in 92. How innocent I was.

  3. Great video went last January stayed at grand floridian 1 night and Orleans riverside for 2 nights and 1 day at hard Rock. Will go back when epic opens. I do want to fly out for Victoria and Albert's it was closed when I was there
    Disney should do fast pass like universal I don't mind paying extra if you skip line

  4. Good helpful video, one question regarding booking park reservations in advance, how far in advance can you make them? If I booked a trip and tickets now for say august , can you make the park reservations now for august ??

  5. I leave for my college program in about five days, so I'm going to be seeing a lot more than I ever have in the past. This is definitely going to be very helpful, even for someone who was basically raised in Disney World.

  6. Always great videos. We return this year but I'm apprehensive about the changes, especially fast pass. Have you flown into Melbourne with Tui? Will be our first time, hoping it's as simple as Sanford was.
