- Join us for the February 2024 Orlando Informer after hours event at Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure! This is a special nighttime ticketed event in the park with super low crowds, tons of free food in both parks, entertainment, seasonal theming and more! This event they are doing things a bit differently than in the past so we show you how that works, the special walkway they open between the parks, what foods we tried, some of our favorite and best rides like Hagrid's, VelociCoaster, Revenge of the Mummy and ET, enjoying the parks and also checking out some of what's new like Halloween Horror Nights props in the Five & Dime, an update on Mel's Drive-In, dining at Circus McGurkus for the first time since it's reopened, and LOTS MORE! We stayed at Aventura for this wonderful weekend, thank you to Orlando Informer for inviting us! Hope you all enjoy seeing what this event was like and lots of fun times with us!
FAQ: You can purchase tickets to Orlando Informer Meetups on their website, and find out what the next dates are! Generally they are held during Feb, June and Nov/Dec! You can also get discounts on Universal Orlando hotels, they will send you a link to book in your registration email (once you register for the Meetup)! You can find all the details on their website too, as some things change from one Meetup to the next. You can purchase for one single night, or for the whole weekend. I always recommend staying on property for these weekends as they are late nights and it's so nice to just pop to your room and get some sleep after. Let me know if you have other questions, I'm happy to answer!
Is there a time of year you prefer over others?
Love the dance moves, Sam!
This looked like a lot of fun and some nice food a long the way. I always adore seeing E.T. That was a great movie. The Harry Potter section always brings out peace-filled and positive thoughts..
The video is great as always. But love the chemistry between you two ❤. Thanks for bringing us along. Orlando Informer events are awesome as well
Between the low crowds and all the food, these events seem amazing!
I want to go to an Orlando Informer event. I think it’s the best bang for your buck. Looks like they really treat you well!
OMG! I had the honor of seeing you last night and say hi booth you guys last night, by the butter beer cart. You are awesome I love your channel ❤❤❤
Sam dances like a star!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
If there is ANYONE who is wondering, “should I go to Orlando Informer”, the answer is YES you should 🎉❤ It is worth every penny!!
yesss, Suzanne knows!!
I’m super enthused to see Sam dancing. I liked it too. 😁
dancing = happy, so happy is always good!
Hi guys thanks for sharing this was an amazing event the food and desserts 🍨 looked delicious glad you had fun
Hi Jackie, it was so great meeting you and Sam Friday night at Orlando Informer and at Aventura rooftop. You guys are great and I really love your videos.❤🎉
Awesome video! I agree with your assessment of Velocicoaster. I think what makes it really stand out is that the ride experience is reversed from normal rollercoasters. The big sweeping hills come after the tight turning little hills that usually are at the finish of a regular rollercoaster. 😊
LOVE your Super Enthusiasm Jackie n Sam, n TOTALLY dig the park at night. It's sooo beautiful!!!
Looks like a fun event, thanks for sharing. 👍
Awwww love seeing you both in videos together. ❤
Loving the food during checkin😍hoping they do this for the Winter MeetUps as well🤞🏼
Your outro was awesome with those fast moving clouds in the background...
Every test I've ever done puts me in Ravenclaw! Love your jacket and video. Wish I still lived there sometimes. Thanks for the fun!
I knew you were gonna say Richters burgers! Lol but I'm really happy to see they have added the early snacks and a couple of venues opening earlier!
Orlando Informer is a big bucket list item for me!! Love your coverage of the events I cant be at
Thank u for the fast upload
We just came back from the February Orlando Informer from this past weekend and it was a blast. Friday evening had smaller crowds and offered more hours to enjoy the food! (We went to both nights.)
Thanks to you and Sam for getting this video out so quickly! Missing the Meet-Ups and the OI Family this weekend 😢 still debating on whether I should share your video and let the "secret" out! 😂 Seriously, we've done 2 Winter Meet-Ups and it definitely spoils you. Really thinking I need to add the February Meet-Up for next year! 🎉💜💛💚🎉
Oh and we LOVE Aventura for the Meet-Ups too! ❤
Yup, Theme Parks look AWESOME when the sun goes down. So, here's my reason why rollercoasters are a bit quicker at night. During daytime i feel the tracks expand due to the heat & constant use its going through, while at night its cooler & the track decreases from its daytime operation, & there's also a fine mist in the air that i believe slightly coats the track. Oh, i can be totally wrong but that's just my opinion on why rollercoasters run alittle faster at night. Anywho, thank you for such an enthusiastic video Dimples.... may i call you Dimples? Bcuz, c'mon now as i always say, "OMGawd her dimples when she smiles!!!!"
Love the video!!
This event is the top of my bucket list! One day …….. 😅
Living through your vlogs until I move to Florida!! Should be moving to Jacksonville but I’m hoping for Tampa.
Sam is sooooooo sweet. I love yall together ❤❤❤❤
If my mom and I ever get moved to Florida, we will definitely try to see you there 😂 I have to go to Orlando informer nights 🎉
Ms. Jackie having fun at universal studios
Because she’s with Sam, of course! Can’t have the fun without Sam!
I got a chance to do a night-time ride on Velocicoaster and it was ICONIC! I highly recommend a night ride if you can do it. I rode in the back row for extra thrill. Lol.
Seriously it is a TOTALLY different beast at night!!!
It’s so awesome that you got to do the Orlando Informer Meetup at Universal Orlando Resort. But yesterday I got my own record player so I can collect vinyls.
Jackie, you and Sam are the cutest ❤❤❤
I would need 5 tummies! All the food looks amazing!!!
hahaha yes, we always eat nothing else the whole day on these events, and then the next day eat really lightly lol!!!
I’m going to the meetup tonight! I’m so excited!!!
I love the Aventura Resort. We walk over to Sapphire Falls and take the river boat over. LOL.
I’m going tonight I really hope I can meet you and Sam that would make my night ❤😊
I wish I knew about these events when I went!
One more popcorn for the road! Love it!!.
It's always the jam haha!!
Finally!!!! Jackie and Sam rode the Velocicoaster!!!!! If you are happy, we're happy to. 😍
Yay!!! Sometimes we go to the parks and not vlog so we ride it a bunch on days like that too! But it's been a while since we've done a night ride, it's so different!
@@SuperEnthused that's awesome 💛
We miss the Orlando Informer events _so_ much! Truly the _best_ way to explore and experience the Universal parks. Our last OI event was in 2021 and so much has changed since then; the event area they silo'd out for free food and the photo ops at the beginning of the night was such a great idea! We loved Sam's little jig, too 😂 So glad that Richter Burger was the designated holding area while the park emptied out...I think you're right, they had you two in mind when they planned out the 2024 event. Tormenting other queuers with the interactive elements while in line for the Mummy is one of our absolute favorite things to do at Universal, across both parks! 😛 The other is, of course, Hagrid's...which remains (and probably _will_ remain) our favorite roller coaster of all time. Story coasters are the best! Loved this vlog, thanks for sharing with us Jackie! ✨
I love you two. I can't wait for you both to have a child together. I see you guys are great parents. anyways, thanks for taking me to places I visited and had great memories at, and taking us all to places we have also never been. keep it up!
My goal would be to do Hagrids non stop, 25 min wait?!?! I’d die 😍
Now I have to do an Orlando Informer event. My sister-in-law has been telling me about these events for a while now.
Thanks!
Thank you so much!!
Planning my summer vacation around the OI Meet Up! Can't wait for the tickets to go on sale for June.
the summer one is I think my favorite!! But then again, summer is my favorite season haha!
Orlando former events are so much fun 🤩
That thumbnail picture is amazing, you should get that framed
The fried chicken in Circus Mcgurkus was so good...wish they would've left it on the menu 😞
Agree, I think the food looks well themed but very average. The chicken meal was so good!
Hey Jackie good vlog and thank you and keep up the good you do love jarl ❤❤❤
Thank you so much love jarl
Ready to party, mardi, and inform! 😂 love it! ❤😊
hahaha love that you share my weird sense of humor lol!!
Good video keep it up ❤
Hey Jackie - Good stuff! Have a great weekend! 😎
Great video Jackie and Sam
Been wanting to do OI for a long time...
Hey Sam, Jackie 👋 good times.
My girlfriend and I attended the June 2023 meetup but was really disappointed in the universal staff. They acted rude and fed up by the event, the single rider line was held up on purpose on the hagrids ride just bc they were annoyed by the amount of people waiting. Thanks for your content, Jackie!
Sorry, that really sucks. I went in December and don't remember having any issues. Maybe enough people complained about those rude employees that management cracked down on them 🤞
Yaayy, you were at Orlando informer!! That be so much fun to go there for that, especially when there’s like no right times!! When I was there the first week of Mardi Gras it was very busy and it was the week that velocity coaster was down for three days!! That is a really fun ride, though. There are so many times that my butt was off the seat!! I love Hagrid’s so much!! That’s such a fun ride! When I was there, it was always an hour and 20 or an hour and 30 minute wait!! But I got to ride it two times before noon so that was awesome!! Diagon Alley looks so cool at night in the dark!! I would ride Escape from Gringotts over and over!! I’m so glad you got a hot butter beer that is the best thing ever. It is so good! I got the hot butter beer twice in a day because it’s that good!! I’m so glad and happy that you and Sam are together for the event. You guys are so cute together love seeing your both enthusiasm and fun attitude together! lol I love that Sam didn’t want to dance, but then I liked his little Irish dance that he was doing! So funny!! I wanna move to Orlando soooo bad!! I would love to go to universal all the time! I saw that Universal is building affordable housing community! That’s so awesome. Is that a good area where they’re building though? because if it is, I would definitely move down!
We LOVED this video.. You two look like you have so much fun. It makes Kay and I happy just seeing you guys . happy. Please tell Sam to keep on dancing . Shhh I'm trying to talk Kay I to HHN while we're there in September. I think it'll be going on. (Maybe a word from her favorite vlogger might convince her? 😉. Thank you (and Sam) for all your wonderful content. You're the best.
Update on Kay. Three week into it and three more before she can put weight on ankle. Its still turning purple when she puts it down. Please keep her in thoughts and prayers.
Was there as well , will be at Universal side tonight :)
Hope you had a blast!!!
This is one thing I want to do this year; go to one of the informer events. Probably a fall one.
Fall is the only season they don't do one, I think it's because of HHN. Summer is my favorite one!
Hi Jackie. Happy almost Birthday Week. Could the dance that Sam did, be called "The Turkey Leg Dance"? Thank you for bringing us along for a Fun night at the Orlando Informer Meetup. Keep having Fun on all your Adventures.
hahaha yes it's definitely some kind of turkey leg dance, Ed!!
Looked like I was all hooked up. Sitting in a motel near Charlotte, new video and a bag of Buckee Bites. Sounds perfect right? Wrong. The internet sucks today. Every 30 seconds it stalls for a couple. Totally ruined all your hard work. Maybe later, but I'll be out of bites. But Monday I'll be in Sevierville and more Buc-ees.
Jackie is the sweetest sweetheart on UA-cam.
bless you!
10:45 I was out in LA last Sept and went to Universal Hollywood and I could not believe how short their version of the Mummy ride was. The Orlando was is definitely the superior version of it! :)
I pat the wall with homage to Duelling Dragons every time I go by...
Dancing Sam with his moves! 🕺Have you shown him how to dance salsa?
Thought we wouldn't catch you saying "mira"...we did...😊😁👊👍🤙🤘✌️
haha I knew only some would catch it!!!
So fun! A meetup is definitely on our “to do” list. One day. 😊
it's such a cool different way to do the parks, plus NIIGHTTIIIIMMEEEE!
@@SuperEnthused Exciting! No waits, food, MONSTERS! And, of course, Churro! 😊
Another great video my friend and it looks so much fun to.
Happy Sunday my friend!
@@SuperEnthused You to my friend
What fun!
Looks like fun and how can you refuse free food. lol
Great option for visiting the Universal parks. I would need 2 nights; One for just the food and the other just for all of the rides. And I wouldn’t fill up on a hotdog and cheeseburger. Rather, I’d save my stomach for more interesting and unusual offerings.
I hear you, but we've been doing these events for many years I love to mix it up and do different things each time :) trust me, I've tried aaaaallllll the more interesting and unusual offerings too, so stay tuned and you'll see different things each time we go! Also, I always say I won't fill up on this or that but it's easier said than done once you're there lol!!! Two nights is definitely the way to go, usually we do 2 and I vlog only one of the nights.
Love the video how many Orlando informer events does universal has
haha they do one in Feb, one in June, and one in Nov/Dec, so 3 a year :)
@@SuperEnthused nice
Very fun
Curious…were you comped this evening?(I hope so! You guys deserve this!)….just asking since you don’t usually explicitly thank someone for inviting you out…
Yes they invited us for this evening! We have purchased tickets to attend before too. Thank you for always being awesome! 💕 I only accept invitations if it’s something I am genuinely excited about.
💙💙💙
Ugh the fomo i feel whenever u do these 😢😢😢my dream
Just curious what time you arrived at the parks. Planning to go in June and with the small bites I wasn't sure if there was a better time to check in. Thanks!
Got to the park around 5:45. The email will let you know what time you can check in and what time you can actually get into the park. It’s different each time, even the Friday and Saturday of this weekend were totally different. So it’ll be different each time, they send a super detailed email when you register tho. 💕
RIP Poseidon's Fury 😞
missed by us all!
There is meant to be a Ghostbusters Ride coming
We love staying at Aventura, but we never ride the bus to the hub. We walk over to Sapphire and catch the boat and skip the hub.
Yes we've done the walk and the boat a bunch too, I've shown that in past videos too! Just found the bus faster and easier during these busy weekends. Both are great though!
Hi, how do I find out when their having an Informer event? I'd love to do this kind of thing event someday. Thank you for any information and have a great day..
Jackie I’m thinking of going to the next meet up do you know how much of a discount on the hotels are.I love watching your videos
Thanks so much! It's a little different each time, but it can be "up to" 40% off. I've found that the discounted rooms sell out fast, so I'd recommend booking the room as early as possible and you have to do it through the link in the email they send once you register for the Meetup. So for instance, for the next one in June, the website says: Discounted hotel stays will become available on March 7 at 1:00 pm ET. Use the link in your purchase confirmation to book. But the discounted prices are already listed on their website: meetup.orlandoinformer.com/j/ (click hotel discounts and FAQ's).
How or where do you look for those Event tickets (Informed Meet Up)?
The Orlando Informer Meetup website :) The June tickets just went on sale today!
OK please promise us, no more Sam dancing LOL
haha I can't make this kind of promise!
Was that Sam’s reflection in the mirror manning the camera in your room? 😅😊
No wonder I didn't find you, we went in completely opposite directions!! But my mom and I tried richter burger bc of you guys and we enjoyed!!
If anyone is interested, I have a vlog of both nights on my channel!! Jackie is the reason we knew about the event and I was so excited to vlog🫶🫶
How do I get to go to an Orlando Meetup?
They sell tickets at the Orlando Informer Meetup website :) they sometimes do sales and discounts too!
Thank you so much
19:37 get a room you two 😂
lol!!!
Do you think Epic Universe will participate in Orlando Informer events, or will we have to wait many years after it opens for it to join in?
I think that Universal should switch to Pepsi.
did sam probose ? thar both waring rings
