- In today's video I make my way back to the Universal Orlando Resort during the peak of spring break to see how crazy the park is and how it's operating at a higher capacity. Let me tell you I haven’t seen this park ever like this with crowds and construction. I also check on all of the big updates that are currently happening all around Universal Studios Florida because a lot is changing ahead of Epic Universe opening. Next, I try a new butter beer treat inside of Diagon Alley which was really good. Finally, I show you some of the new merchandise that was just released. Thank you so much for watching, if you enjoyed this video please give it a big thumbs up!

That "special vibe about Universal" that you really enjoy, I feel the exact same way! 🎉🙌🌟
Thank you for diving into the spring break crowd and not complaining like other vloggers do and also showing us how to navigate around.
We just visited Universal last week. I hadn’t been in 25 years and it was the first time for my husband and kids. We had a GREAT time! Can’t wait to go back, and really can’t wait for Epic universe next year! My kids are 6 and 8, we have Disney APs, but we will be letting those expire so we can split our time between Disney and universal, and probably eventually mostly Universal.
Thanks for the Universal video! As a 12 year UOAP living in St. Louis I appreciate your efforts to keep me in touch with my happy place when I can't be there.
First!! My son said he would rather go to Universal than Disney. Can't wait for Epic Universe!
Orlando is the theme park capital and all parks should be enjoyed..Orlando is so lucky,to have this great environment
For the very first time my 5 year old specifically asked for disney 😢 we haven't been since 2021 so he probably doesn't remember. We have had universal passes since then and go down for a week once or twice a year. I want to take him but for a family of 5 magic Kingdom tickets for 1 day is nearly $1000! Whereas we have a trip for universal planned to use our passes one last time before they expire
It depends on what you like, but Disney is great as well and there are many ways to deal with the crowds
Disney isn't what it used to be😢 we used to be AP holders and switched over to universal our 6 year old says he loves Universal vs Disney@@lnvr46
Both of my boys are way more into Universal than Disney; which is completely fine with me. 😂
Glad you’re back to shooting park content. Always love your videos! 🩷
13:15 thank you for diving into the spring break crowd and I’m not complaining like the others.
Love the park updates, Dev! ❤
Looks like a beautiful day at Universal 🎉
We're staying at Royal Pacific in May and we're SOOOOOOO glad we don't have to worry about those Express Pass prices👍👍👍
Happy Monday! I love Universal! Enjoy and have fun! Thanks for sharing! 🎢🎡
I’m so happy to see a new dev video I would like to see more volcano bay content if you can
One more great video! I was planning to go to Orlando this year but after knowing about Epic, I’ll wait to go in 2025! No WDW next time, only Universal! 🎉
Universal will never be as crazy packed as Disney it's still very much much relaxing then the other parks
Universal not being as packed is one of the many reasons to go there instead of Disney!
Late January Saturday 2024, some Godfest going on. Most packed theme park I've ever been in. Kong was actual 50 minute wait. Velocicoaster was actual 160 minutes. Don't say NEVER.
Agree, we now are only Universal AP holders, I love Disney, but love universal more
I can not thank you enough for posting this video! We had a trip planned and I refunded everything based on the information you provided. This would have been a miserable experience! Thank you so much!!
I love the new merchandise you showed at the end! Thanks for all your informative videos. They keep me happy until I'm there again.
I appreciate you watching!
We absolutely love Chez Alcatraz, so excited to know it’s getting refurbished!
always a special vibe about Universal
I love any Epic update! Get it LOL!
It was awesome meeting you at Universal. Also thanks for taking a picture with me and my wife. Just got back into town today. We ended up going to Disney the last 2 days since Universal was insane.
Alot of fun rides and less ride wait times than Disney. Universal everytime!
I just booked my vacation today and both of my daughters love Dreamworks. They are going to be so excited about Poppy and Shrek
Would be cool to put in the forbidden forest or something where fear factor is. Can make a HUGE enclosed land to keep it dark. I think that would be so kick ass!
My friend and I are going to universal in August I’m so excited for my trip can’t I’m so excited 😆
Disney CEO has taken all the Fun out of what Walt Disney envisioned. Sad place now..
We were there the first week in March. We barely missed the crowd. In my opinion that’s one of the best times to go.
1:54 The belt thing is pretty normal at universal especially during the busy times.. literally happens to me almost every time we go.. I just take it off in advance at this point.. 😂😂
That's strange, I was there all last week and never once was asked to remove my belt. They must have elevated security after the Russia terror attack.
Love the video! Thanks for the new things. Always a help. You are a perfect host!❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Awesome. Thank you.
Really hoping to do Universal next year. I have a military obligation but it’s definitely in our plan to make in happen when I get back!!! Can’t wait!!!
I'm so excited! I will be there in just 6 days!
I’ll be there Thursday!!
Every time I watch one of your videos I always feel withdrawal symptoms because I miss them. You’re that good brother. ❤ as for volcano Bay there’s really not that much more. You can say about it since you already did a video on it other than maybe if they have added new rides or anything.
I love universal studios so much
My family and I are coming in May and I keep waiting for someone to post a Universal vlog so we can hype up! Xx
Thanks for a great Vlog, really enjoyed this. Another no mummy ride for a whole week from my 2 week ticket !!!! Happened last time too. I wish they will do these repairs in the quiet months! Not high season.
Universal is my favorite park
We visited last weekend. It was a b'day celebration, so our dates weren't flexible. We usually follow the "crowd calendar" at Orlando Informer and visit during slow periods. But YIKES! Last weekend was crazy! But the Mardi Gras food, international food, and parade all made it worth it. Transformers was a 60 minute wait WITH ExpressPass. Visiting on "Busy" days is a TOTALLY different experience than a "Slow" day. Follow the Informer calendar!
Thank you for all you provide for us Dev!! Will you be attending the O.I. meet-up in June?
Not going till 2025 really looking forward to going love Universal.
Great video Dev💯
your shots of the lands being full and everyone walking through them reminds me of the gamecube game "universal studios theme parks adventure" that i played as a kid! such a nostalgic feeling lolol
I played through that game so many times lol
Thank you ❤
They saw ur videos and added more Butterbeer haha, let's go do this
Would love to see a vlog from volcano bay. Just you doing the fun stuff there !
Was there last week, we stayed at the HardRock , $650 per night. Express pass was $299 Per Person Per Day. so between both of us the Hotel element was Free stayed 3 nights but get 4 days Express.
We will be there in May, staying at Portofino Bay! Can't wait 😊
Hoping the date is to announce the opening of Dreamworks. Fingers crossed!!
Love love love Universal!
Im just waiting for them to announce the grand opening date for epic universe so I can book my trip. I already told my boss when they announced the new park that I'm taking the week off😊
I would want the park running for awhile before I booked a trip there. The rides close down constantly.
Took your advice on staying a night at a resort to take advantage of unlimited express passes for my family of 7!!! Way better option for 2 days at the park!!😊
I loved the butter beer caramel, it lasted me for days. It was over 5.00. 😂
We were there last week had an awesome time average wait time on all rides we rode 25 minutes
You know when I went to Tokyo Disney they had long lines sure but the wait time were less and the lines kept moving like train. Your literally on the line for like a half an hour rather than 2 hours. I wish I knew how they did that in the theme park because it would truly be a good idea to implement in a place like universal.
Most of the vloggers at Disney parks have said this past week has been a lull from spring breakers. Maybe they are all at Universal!
That was a few weeks ago where Universal was also low in crowds they where even closing earlier than Disney. But Disney this last weekend was insane busy and even worst this week.
Man pokemon is huge, way bigger than Simpsons so that will be a huge draw
If you stay for one night at a premier resort hotel you get TWO days unlimited fast pass - it really is a no brainer! I’ve done this twice before at the Hard Rock and didn’t even stay in the room!
Epic Universe will be insane crowds the first monts after opening, Universal will have 3 parks & a water park that will bring crowds over there
It looks more packed than Disney right now
Was hoping to run into you this week ! Currently staying at the Hard Rock . Been a fan for awhile .
My 1st and last trip was 2009 I think. Many changes.
Stuff Disney …. I’m going to Universal ❤
Would love to see you do a vlog at Volcano bay. It would be cool to see the food and drinks, I've heard they're pretty good.
And maybe we can get your opinion about the Ko'okiri Body Plunge? 😗😗
My daughter(9) HATED Krustyland so I'm excited for Pokemon instead. I like your "like SOME companies" 🤣 That HHN part though! I'm so excited and hoping for 5NAF too! My daughter would LOVE that!
We went to Universal for the first time on St.Patty’s Day. We had a ton of fun and looking forward to going back!! We were surprised how low the wait times were and had the best interaction with Beetlejuice there!! Keep up the amazing work Universal and can’t wait to see what the future holds for the company!
🥇
I would love to see what is plus-size(I'm not talking just overweight but like tall/muscular plus-size) friendly at Volcano Bay. It just doesn't seem worth it to me to pay to go there if my family and I wouldn't be able to do anything there other than swim in a wave pool😅 We were already disappointed that the new Hagrid motorbike isn't big&tall friendly.
Didn't the Mummy ride just go through a major refurbishing? I rode it after it was and it was amazing! Wonder what they're doing to it now?
That area that is closed off is (most likely) for pyrotechnics! I worked in events there and when ever pyro was being tested that area was closed.
What I also hope they do is expand the roadway because when the Mardi Gras parade goes by there is does NOT leave a lot of room for the parade workers.
We arrive April 14th so hoping the crowds will be a little less lol. Our kids are missing a week of school but we don't care hahaha
Also hoping to get our accessibility pass sorted out, so far we have the card, just need to talk to universal guest services.
I stayed at Surfside(3/6) and Aventura(3/20) this month and it wasn't that crazy. Pools were so dead which was great. We did go to IOA, volcano Bay, & citywalk in the afternoon/evening and it wasn't too bad.
Early park admission line at 730 was past stretched out over the water bridge. I've never seen it so crowded.
Please do a Volcano Bay video of rides and food. Also, maybe a return to Discovery Cove?
I know i went there yesterday and it was really busy luckily I had Express pass to get on things
New AP holder, no regrets. Plan on adding Volcano Bay🌋 for my birthday next month
What’s the weather like at the moment? I am going in 3 weeks woohoo
How is Mummy having another refurb?! It just had one.
Everyone can say what they want, about Universal, but deep down you know that nothing will ever beat the whole vibe you get from Walt Disney World. The magical moments can't be beat..by a copy cat
I can’t wait to attend Universal in 2025.
Why did they ask you to take off your belt? What is the significance of a belt?
Guessing it’s like taking off your belt and shoes at the airport TSA check.
3/28 is the opening day of MLB? I doubt it's that though.
Funny that the same thing WDW has to do is taken as essential at Universal. Universals prices have constantly increased. They are following the same format as Disney. They are just doing it based off watching WDW issues that have been talked about. Universal rides are closing all the time. Prices at Universal are too high and they have really long lines and are super crowded. You can alternate ( WDW and Universal) in all those statements. Sad that we can’t all appreciate all the great parks we have to enjoy. One does not have to be better than the other. But in this age people have to root for someone while rooting against someone else. Both parks are great. Nice video
Yep. I cannot believe Universal is now charging $30 for general parking and you still have to walk half a mile to get to a gate.
can you imagine waiting 100 minutes for RRR?
I would rather wait 100 minutes at the DMV
Universal definitely has a different vibe, But I wont trade it for the one over at Disney there is just something else. Never the less I do enjoy going to universal every so often but is more for events like, HHN, Christmas and Mardi grass.
There's always the option to purchase express passes for $219 after you play Over $280 per ticket
Prices are crazy
Dev feel your vibe bro love universal pal as soon as you walk through city walk the hairs in your neck stand up bro love
16:40. Beetlejuice seems really peed about something
I am glad to see universal kicking Disney ass great video dev 🫡🫡🫡💪💪
You keep telling yourself that
Dev walks in to Universal and sees the crowds and 100 minute wait times and says, Don't threaten me with a good time. lol
I’ll miss Springfield. It’s too bad a deal can’t be made for Universal to buy the rights to The Simpsons.
Volcano Bay 🌋 needs better signage
The last few times I’ve been to Universal Studios Orlando they have made me take my belt off at the security checkpoint I think it’s a new thing
Something about Universal excites me... even during big crowds, there are always areas to relax and not as packed. As Disney, it doesn't matter where you gonits tight with ppl.
What character in trolls is that coaster based on?!!! lol
What is Carmel?
Stop giving away the secrets of the premier hotels dev lol, just joking but seriously I’m glad to see the premier hotel prices go back up, when they were lower everyone stayed there and it made the express lines a lot longer than the standby lanes, I’ve always believed of you want the “special extras” it should cost you, that way those that pay that premium price get that premium experience. Much love to you and Bianca for all you do and all the great info you send our way. Appreciate your honesty
didn't they just refurb The Mummy last Year?
Haven’t been to Universal in quite a few years (1991 was my last visit). I’m not a big fan of roller coasters and really wasn’t much grabbing my attention other than Marvel and Jurassic Park. It does look I will need to revisit my decision to not go here, but won’t be until at least next year.
It is so sad that Disney let that magic feeling it used to have be destroyed by corporate greed and trying to shove their personal views down me and my family's throats. So the obvious choice is the special vibe at Universal any day of the week. Universal Epic Universe could be the final nail to end Disney's turning a profit.
