hoping and manifesting a day where we can see you both @annapugh6094 and @ThePughTwo enjoying Epic Universe together again.....a boy can hope. But most of all I hope you are both happy and healthy....
Your closing statement was beautifully put. I feel like I became a lover of Universal just in time. I didn’t get into theme parks until my husband & I started dating in our late teens. He took me to Disneyland on 12/13/14 & we’ve going together ever since. Universal Orlando was a new experience for both of us that we absolutely loved. So to witness the birth of a new theme park & the evolution of what a theme park experience can be - we’re super excited & look forward to visiting in late June of this year.
You always have THE BEST updates! This is why I watch. I feel like I'm sitting down listening to my buddy tell me what's going on rather than watching a formatted infomercial. Someone once asked me what my motto in life is and I had never thought about it before, but I had an immediate answer: "If it's not real, it's not worth it." I'm truly impressed by your courage to be that guy (and Anna too, God bless her). I sure hope you're still doing this come January 2026, because that's when we'll be there to see Epic. And maybe... just maybe, I'll have the honor of meeting you. You are valued and appreciated.
My wife was able to book us 2 nights at Helios in the opening week. I know she definitely paid quite a bit, but we used to pay 6-700 a night at the Portofino quite a few times throughout the years. Excited to see this place for sure.
I think a key point will be how the hotel arranges transportation to Epic, City Walk and Volcano Bay. The bus queue area is not that big at Dockside and adding a third bus may not work very well.
Thank you cousin Tyler(yes your content is like family to me)! This looks so EPIC and awesome! I can’t wait! I’m waiting until 2027 or 2028 to go. I hope I get to meet you at The Winter Informer 11/22-11/23. If I ugly cry, ignore it. I’m just that grateful and excited to see on my favorite vloggers!
First of all, I love the music at the beginning of the video. Secondly, I love the fact that we get to "hate Umbridge all over again". I just started HP&TOOTP on Audible again this week. So looking forward to seeing all you're going to catch on video when the park opens!
🎉🎉🎉 Your excitement has me even more excited! (and a little concerned that I may need to sell my 1st child to enjoy it fully 😂 but seriously😮). Your closing statement made me tear up! 🥺 Yessssss, that's the way so many of us feel! I know I'm going to bawl like a baby the 1st time I walk under the Chronos and go through each portal! ❤
Thanks for the info!!! I havent been able to keep up recently but glad you are sticking with us, so thank you for that as well! And as always, Great Video!!!!
Please please keep doing those videos. Your content is amazing and you are doing a wonderful job. Your energy is contagious and I can't wait to experience this new epic chapter through your eyes. I will be in Florida one month before so I won't be able to make it to the grand opening, but knowing you will be there to share this experience makes it less painful to miss the in person experience.
I'm so elated!!! I cried a little bit when I saw the announcement video this morning!! Thanks for another great video!❤🎉 Looking forward to seeing your first video from inside of Epic Universe!!
Out of all the UA-cam videos I've watched on Epic Universe, yours is my favorite. It has the best organization of information and presentation overall. Keep it up!
Tyler, you are putting out some of the best content of your career, sir. The heart and soul you put into your videos as a fan (like the outro of this video) bring a tear to my eye. Keep up the amazing work!
I cant wait to go🎉I'll wait until people go back to school next fall but before the 🌀s. So excited to know what park you'll visit first. I'll first go to Dark U then Wizardry,Isle of Berk,nintendo,celestial park
You manage to get those good emotions going with your videos lately, the way this one ended hit hard because it's exactly how I've been feeling since the park's announcement. Awesome work, and I LOVED how you blended the information into a fun video. Kudos to you and your camera assistant.
Editing is fire 🔥 like the best out of all of the universal UA-camrs! I can’t wait to see your epic universe content and all content. I think I speak For all of us when I say we’d love a VLOG from you! ❤
I told my coworkers Wednesday that I'm taking off two weeks next October to go, they were amused that I had this planned a year ago and now that they announced I've actually put in my time off for a year from now. So, relying on you to visit, put out some videos, get me pumped and riled up to go.
Another great video! We can’t wait! We aren’t concerned about pricing as much as convenience. But I’m guessing will be staying at RPR for the first few visits.
I'm so excited for Epic Universe, especially the Monsters wing! I got to go to Islands of Adventure close to opening as a kid, it was incredible. I so want to take my son, it's just kinda tricky since we live in Hawaii (I'm originally from Florida). Thank you for the hotel tip, I'm dream-planning now!
Your channel really helped us prep for our first ever weeklong stay at Universal. It was so worth it. We really had a great time. We're excited for what's to come, and probably will be waiting some time before coming back out to see Epic Universe. But in the age of streaming and UA-cam, this will be really interesting. I grew up in Anaheim and was a Disneyland Annual Passholder in the 90s. I know DCA did not open to the same fanfare Epic Universe will, but that's because Epic Universe is opening with a lot more attractions, a more holistic theme, and an approach to each area that looks to be really immersive and highly themed. It just looks to have been a spare no expense type operation. That said, what a time it is now, to see that people will surely be streaming opening day and making a lot of Epic Universe content. It would have been interesting to have those options when I lived in Anaheim. Not comparing the two parks, just the experience of being a modern content creator. Enjoy it... I will be sure to see how it goes for you, the channel, and the park.
Good to see you! I was so worried about you handling the hurricane. 'm so excited about this. I keep saying i going to wait a while, but I don't know that I can.
Check with your local AAA. since you're an Orlando resident they may have something different for you. I work at Aaa louisville and sometimes our rates for universal hotels are cheaper to book than universal sites
Omg Tyler we are beyond excited for epic universe I will definitely be getting our tickets for Christmas time next year 2025. Going to try getting them for December 26 that’s my 2 sons birthday but if not that day any other day near that day works for me I want to surprise them. Can’t wait to see your first video of epic universe
I share your excitement for Epic! This is going to be amazing. Love your videos about this. Go around the park every once in a while, it would be cool to see how this last months go.
Have my hotel at Stella Nova reserved for July 27th. I think this will give Universal some time to work out some of the initial kinks and maybe by then there will be some news on extending Epic Universe for annual pass holders. Can't wait!
I hope to all that is pure and good that I get to meet you in the lines one day. Just to nerd out about theme parks for a bit and hear some of your stories in person ^^ ! Trying to get into the vlogging community down here too, so who knows 🤷🏾♂️ the day may be sooner than expected!
I saw pricing starting at $293 per night for the Helios which shocked me but I'm sure that's off season pricing. But still not terrible. That's a moderate at Disney on a good day....
Your channel is gonna experience insane growth again when this park opens. I’m excited for you and the future here. By the way,The passholders sale date for single day is the 24th
I totally know that the long game for you doing the channel was to get to go to media previews for Epic and I am NOT mad at it.... They better invite you!
You should absolutely go check out Tom's Watch Bar on top of the Disney Parking Garage across the street from Icon Park. If you go up there, you can ask them to just go see the views and you can see all of Epic Universe plus they have a full bar and restaurant. I was curious one day after seeing it from the street so many times and the views are let's just say Epic!😜
Funnily enough I went on the big wheel for that exact reason and half way around I discovered for the first time in my life that I don`t like heights. I couldn`t wait to get off. Its the first time I have been on one of those and it will probably be the last.
I probably won't do Epic until Jan or Feb 2026. Hopefully, that will be enough time for some better tixket options and for some of the kinks to be worked out. And maybe the crowds wont be too bad that time of year. But until then, I will be consuming Epic everything like a starving woman! Can't wait for your coverage!! This video was great, btw! Love your stuff!
It just happens that the park opens while we were already planning on going the 20th-25th before going on a cruise. Never been on an opening day and I can't wait
Here for the Pugh view!
The Pugh view has been given to you 😂
Great new channel name! Haha
@@bensnooks5820 that’s my goal!
@@ThePughTwo Make it happen Pugh dude! 😎
@kataes7277 great idea love it
Dude your content just keeps progressing. My wife and I keep talking about your shots and editing keep getting better and better. Bravo.
All your recent content has been fantastic! So hyped for your first videos of Epic Universe!!!!!
Thank you so much!
Talk about an EPIC update! 🤩
Epic days are ahead ❤️
hoping and manifesting a day where we can see you both @annapugh6094 and @ThePughTwo enjoying Epic Universe together again.....a boy can hope. But most of all I hope you are both happy and healthy....
indeed
Loving this new chapter of your channel! We're calling it the Pugh Review at our house! ❤

The Pugh dude back with another banger to keep yall updated!!
Staying at a hotel for work right by epic....can see from my window....dreaming of it

Seriously thank you for the explanations, please keep them coming.
Thank you for watching!
"The 1900's", hit me like a ton of bricks. 😭
I agree about Endless Summer, they are definitely going to be convenient being in the middle of both park areas.
I think a key point will be how the hotel arranges transportation to Epic, City Walk and Volcano Bay. The bus queue area is not that big at Dockside and adding a third bus may not work very well.
They could just bus to Citywalk and Epic and make people go to Citywalk to catch the Volcano Bay bus
Thank you cousin Tyler(yes your content is like family to me)! This looks so EPIC and awesome! I can’t wait! I’m waiting until 2027 or 2028 to go.

Dang you got this video out fast. Your doing amazing keep up the work!!!!
I had to!
I cried literal tears. I am so excited and full of joy the words escaped from my eyes and onto my desk.
Wonderful video put out so quickly! I'm so excited for Epic & for your videos on it. The animated Tyler walking was awesome 🤣
The 1900’s made me feel so old 🤣🤣🤣
Agreed, that was cruel and uncalled for! 😂😭
Thanks for the info!!! I havent been able to keep up recently but glad you are sticking with us, so thank you for that as well! And as always, Great Video!!!!
❤ i am glad you haven't gave up doing videos
Please please keep doing those videos. Your content is amazing and you are doing a wonderful job. Your energy is contagious and I can't wait to experience this new epic chapter through your eyes. I will be in Florida one month before so I won't be able to make it to the grand opening, but knowing you will be there to share this experience makes it less painful to miss the in person experience.
Wow! Love your videos!! I've been here since the beginning and seeing the transformation on the channel has been amazing. Keep up the great work
I'm so elated!!! I cried a little bit when I saw the announcement video this morning!! Thanks for another great video!❤🎉 Looking forward to seeing your first video from inside of Epic Universe!!
LOVE how you answered the question immediately within the first few seconds of the video. Still watched the whole thing of course!
Out of all the UA-cam videos I've watched on Epic Universe, yours is my favorite. It has the best organization of information and presentation overall. Keep it up!
Tyler I love that you got this video out so quickly thank you for your dedication 🫶🏻
Great video Tyler! Thanks for the update.
Fantastic info, I can't wait to see the two new hotels when you stay.
Tyler, you are putting out some of the best content of your career, sir. The heart and soul you put into your videos as a fan (like the outro of this video) bring a tear to my eye. Keep up the amazing work!
AHHHH!! We're only a few months away!!! Thank you for the EPIC video Tyler! Amazing job, as always! Thanks for keeping us up to date on all the info!
I cant wait to go🎉I'll wait until people go back to school next fall but before the 🌀s. So excited to know what park you'll visit first. I'll first go to Dark U then Wizardry,Isle of Berk,nintendo,celestial park
This sounds like a plan!
Great video! Hope to see you at the OI meetup in a couple of weeks!
You manage to get those good emotions going with your videos lately, the way this one ended hit hard because it's exactly how I've been feeling since the park's announcement. Awesome work, and I LOVED how you blended the information into a fun video. Kudos to you and your camera assistant.
P.S. love the mic holding action, never let go of it! It's that special touch.
Editing is fire 🔥 like the best out of all of the universal UA-camrs! I can’t wait to see your epic universe content and all content. I think I speak

Helios Grand Hotel starts at $293 per night, posted on Universal's website.
Yeah, starting at is key
@@ThePughTwo exactly, agree 100 percent!
Great video! Thank you for the info!
Hi Taylor... hope everything is great.. !! and thank you for your videos ... as always All The Best !!!

A whole brand spankin’ new theme park! ❤
I loved the view from up on the wheel. Wish you’d shown more of Orlando 😊

Praying for you and Anna.
Do you think Orlando Informer will have single day UOAP folks? Or just through Universal directly?
Great video... Pugh Dude reviews 😊
Ooh thanks for the info on EPIC
I totally know that the long game for you doing the channel was to get to go to media previews for Epic and I am NOT mad at it.... They better invite you!
Not the 1900s 😆
Thank you for another great video!
I approve of this message! ✅✅✅✅ See you all there!
As a space geek, I love the themes Universal decided to go with for the hotels and Celestial Park.
I'm Ready!!
So am I!

Me and my friends probably wont go next year bc we think i’ll be majorly packed. But cant wait to go and hopefully we can soon!
Dude, I'll be living vicariously through you for the foreseeable future... 😭

Let’s goooo!
Can’t wait (but also not going to try to go in the summer-do you think it will just be crazy?).
Thanks for the video 😊
The New Pugh! I’m looking at a 3 day park to park tickets.
Bet the initial annual pass will not be an add on but an upgrade to a 4 park pass one tier above current premier pass, and priced accordingly.
I just got the email too that they have tickets available this October for when it opens in may, I wish I could go, I’m so excited for it
Well now I’m crying… how did you make epic universe sound even more epic?! Counting down the days to November 2025
bro you the goat ngl.
Great editing
It just happens that the park opens while we were already planning on going the 20th-25th before going on a cruise.
Never been on an opening day and I can't wait
I’m looking forward to Opening Weekend, but hope they allow some preview weekends before the Grand Reveal!
