Since Halloween was yesterday, it’s ok to start talking about the Christmas season now…right? Technically there’s still two more nights of Halloween Horror Nights, but Universal has already fully dressed Seuss Landing and decorations have started popping up in Hogsmeade at Islands of Adventure! This will be the first year […]
Citywalk Update
Walking through Citywalk yesterday, I realized there was a lot going on but a lot going on quietly. Hurricane Irma claimed most of the Toothsome banner and Bubba Gump signage you see when you first enter Citywalk. Both of them are still missing with the Toothsome banner being removed completely.

Artdrop Day 2017 at Universal
Artdrop Day is on the first Tuesday in September. It’s where artists will hide their work in hopes someone else finds it! For the second year in a row, I celebrated at the Universal Orlando Resort. I apologize for being a little late uploading this video. With HHN prep and […]
Universal Studios Prepares For Hurricane Irma
When it started to look like the storm was heading this way, Universal started taking precautions. Mostly removing props from Halloween Horror Nights’ scarezones.

Remember this from a year ago?
Around this time last year, Harry and I were making daily trips to the Universal parks. This is a vlog from one of those trips. I created a “UniArtDrop” in honor of the recently revealed Hulk statue. The ride was closed at the time and going through a refurbishment. And […]
It’s almost time to drink again! But first…
Drinking beer at Universal Orlando is one of my favorite things to do. So it only makes sense we would have a weekly show featuring this! We started doing the “5 o’clock Friday Beer” the first week of 2017. Joey and I would grab a brew from somewhere (usually on […]
Universal Has Fallon Fever!
Jimmy Fallon and his Tonight Show posse arrived in Orlando sometime over last weekend. Jimmy himself was seen in the Tonight Shop this past Sunday before he went to Wrestlemania (and allegedly sat next to Mark Woodbury) and took photos with some guests! Notice his Team Member name tag? The […]
#FallonRide has soft opened
(Possible vague spoilers about the queue and ride. Read ahead with caution if you don’t want to be spoiled.) As you probably have heard by now, Race Through New York starring Jimmy Fallon has soft opened at Universal Studios Florida. This is also called a “technical rehearsal” and I decided […]
