    Wrong river
    When you were talking about the river that went through the volcano at volcano bay you were wrong. The fast rapid river is the one that goes through the volcano.
  • Agree with all the others

    This is by far not only the most informative Universal podcast, but it is also the most entertaining!

    Awesome informative podcast!
    This is my go to Universal Orlando podcast. Great tips on rides, food. I especially like the seasonal reviews.

    Best podcast to get universal news and opinions
    You can’t beat this podcast - I’ve tried so many and (no shade) but none come close to the knowledge and passion this group of people have for universal Orlando!

    Fake
    Listen enough and it becomes fake and that along with the increasing wokeness makes it unlistenable. I hope they know there would be no Harry Potter without J.K.Rowling.
  • TLWhiskers24
    Stick to talking about parks.
    I already had the sense that some of the hosts were a little liberal. No biggie, just an impression. Now one had to go a bring up the whole anti JK Rowling thing. Enough is enough. Go have a debate about it else where and let this podcast be about universal.

    Love this Podcast
    I am not a podcast person in general, but I love this podcast! Universal is my favorite place to be/go and I enjoy listening to people who love it as much as I do. It’s funny and informative and just a great all around listen if universal is your love language!

    The Best Universal Podcast
    What’s not to love about the Unofficial Universal Orlando Podcast? From their insights to all aspects of the parks to the community they have built, UUOP has something for everyone.

    Extremely Enjoyable podcast!
    As a theme park fan, I began to listen to this podcast about a month in advance before going to halloween horror nights. I had listened to it to help prepare myself for my trip and to familiarize myself with all of the attractions that we’re going to be at HHN. I enjoyed the podcast so much that I became a regular listener and now look forward to all the news and updates that they provide with a bit of humor! Love the podcast! Keep it up guys! Update: a few years into listening to UUOP and I still eagerly await the weekly release of the podcast. Such a treat to listen to, and a nice escape into a world I love so much! Keep up the great work team! 2024 update: still listening and loving this podcast!! Thanks for all of the hard work you guys put into it!

    Quad Goals!
    I started listening in 2016 for tips and tricks to navigate HHN. Since then, I’ve gone back and listened to every episode. I can say with certainty that I’ve gained so much knowledge about Universal Orlando Resort. From parks to hotels to special events to food and drinks, these guys deep dive into it all! And, they’re always first on the scene to share new attractions, merch, and other fun topics. The opportunities for listeners to interact and provide feedback, as well as the genuine responses the team gives, are truly second to none. Lee, Tracey, Chris and Michelle will have you feeling like family before you finish your first episode. Thanks to the Fab Four for your commitment to your fan base. Love ya, mean it!

    So Negative Lately
    I have listened for a long time, but rarely make it through an entire episode anymore. It’s just so much complaining now (besides Michelle). Many times I listen to The Little Things & then not much longer after that because of all the negativity. I want honesty but not 45 minutes of complaints & making fun of everything.

    Get Your Universal Fix Every Week!
    I started listening to this when I was planning a bachelorette trip and I just never stopped! You’ll get some great tips and insider knowledge about Universal and also some great laughs! Their banter and passion for Universal is entertaining and addicting. It’s now my favorite podcast and I look forward to a new episode every week!

    Universal Fix
    Great podcast with great hosts. Fun weekly shows that will help build the anticipation for your upcoming trip plus plenty of past episodes full of tips that will help you plan it. I feel a little geeky but I highly anticipate Tuesdays for my weekly Universal fix. :)
  • LCooperWV
    Friendly folks, fun podcast!
    My family and I started listening to UUOP while preparing for a trip to Universal Orlando and we’ve been enjoying it ever since. These folks are friendly and fun, informative and insightful, and they love Universal as much as we do!
  • bigrigsby
    Episodes without Lee are great!
    It’s not all bad! Lee just seems like a smarmy jerk. When he’s not on it’s great
  • teelfill
    The ONLY Universal Podcast!
    My absolute favorite podcast. A great mix of news, history, ratings/rankings, and genuinely funny banter. Keep up the good work y’all!!
  • irishnyc
    Entertaining, but poorly researched
    The banter can be interesting and entertaining, but they hosts are all so unprepared, and just flat out incorrect on so much information. Take the hints and tips shared with a grain of salt, because they’re very likely wrong.
  • readerHeidi
    Fun banter and good information
    This is my top Universal podcast choice when planning a trip. The chemistry between the hosts is fun and the information useful. You can tell the hosts genuinely love the parks. They also interview VIPs from time to time—their “Rides that Made Me” series is one of my favorites of any podcast.

    Universal is my Special Interest
    I’m autistic and I absolutely love universal, especially HHN, and I love this podcast so much! I love all the information about the parks I get from it <3
  • Bill_Gaulke
    I’m a FAN!!!
    Having been to Universal Studios about 8 times and loving every trip there, this podcast keeps me in tune with the Park! Living in Wisconsin, this podcast helps bridge the gap in-between my trips to Universal!!! Big fan of both Universal Studios
  • DisneyDan26
    Picky picky!
    I love you guys.. but why do a show on cocktails if you don’t like ANYTHING in these cocktails!? Looking at you Tracey and Lee. Step outside of your comfort zone and try something new. Ps, Hendricks is fabulous. Cheers! -Dan
  • raleigheelunccarolinajordanfan
    Something other than HHN
    Thank you!!!! I would really like to hear opinions about 1-2 day iteneraries for universal, dining options in both parks and in city walk, best places to stay, best snacks, etc. please do less on HHN and more on things that would make people’s visits better. Thanks.
  • coasterhauntfan
    Great Chemistry Great Podcast
    Words can not express everything I like about what this show has become. Great interviews with industry leaders and innovators. Funny banter between the four hosts. “top 5” lists that really make you think. Great coverage of everything universal Orlando.
  • Autumn-in-Jersey
    I appreciate this podcast
    Very helpful info!!! My son was recently diagnosed with type 1 diabetes and to hear the info about what to do to in regard to carrying insulin and possible disability passes was great. Keep up the good work!

    Thank you for helping bring HHNatHOME to life
    Thank you for your work with HHN at HOME. I have so much fun that day and enjoyed walking down the musical lane with everyone. Thank you for being a part of the best community in the world!

    Supercharged? Underwhelming
    I have ridden the F&F Supercharged ride in Orlando once. And I don’t have any desire to ride it again. The only thing I enjoyed was the cue, and the first cars that you see parked once the ride vehicle moves. The second you hit the room with the screens and the bulk of the ride… well I mean I don’t know where to start. I’m not even a fan of F&F but my parents are and they were throughly disappointed. My mom said that she didn’t know where to look because the action was happening on the left, right, and in front of you all at the same time. How could they make a ride so unsuccessfully when they’re using the same ride formula that they had used for Kong? I wish they had left Earthquake… sorry, I mean Disaster… alone.

    Happy Discovery
    I have used the Unofficial Guide books since my honeymoon in 2007. They have been wonderful. Now we are planning our first family trip to Universal as a family and I was thrilled to discover this podcast!! I haven’t been to Universal since 1995! So all of this information is wonderful. Love the hosts and it’s great to hear a voice from the books I have purchased over the years!!
  • GWCarolina
    Come for the news, stay for the banter
    I started listening years ago to get news from the parks, and I was blown away by how much more this show delivers! There is great chemistry among the hosts, and the variety of show topics and guests means it’s always entertaining. I look forward to getting my Universal fix every week as I wait for my next trip to the parks. These guys have done an amazing job of creating a community of people who love the Universal parks. Do yourself a favor and join the fun!

    Puts a smile on my face
    I stumbled upon the UUOP after doing some research on an upcoming trip to Universal and I am hooked. I listen on my drive to work and it makes it so much more enjoyable. Their friendly banter puts a smile on my face. If you are looking for humor, advice, updates about the park and just down to earth hood people, then subscribe now!! You won’t be disappointed.

    Missing Universal? Or like to laugh and have fun?
    For those who like or love universal Orlando, this is wonderful podcast created by those who have a great love for the Florida theme park. Great weekly updates, reviews and rumors. It often feels as if you're having a conversation with friends while hanging out in the park. It's the one podcast that I listen to immediately when a new episode is released and it's the next best thing to being at the park when distance or a worldwide pandemic prevents you from going. There are attraction walk throughs and music from the park. Sad about Halloween Horror Nights - listen to past Dead Men’s Digest as they even have the sounds of the houses. This podcast really brightens your day for an hour in a time we really need it.
  • Rstigerz60
    A must-listen
    The definitive Universal Orlando podcast. The content is always well thought out and researched. The hosts chemistry is great. Really well done.
  • AlabamaJones79
    My weekly theme park fix!
    Wonderful content with great hosts. You can hear how much the hosts love the Universal theme parks while still being fair and honest in their opinions. Thank you for helping me get my weekly theme park fix.

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
    I love listening to “Lee and Everyone” each week! The quality of the podcast and the content are top notch. You can tell they put their hearts into each episode and truly care about their listeners. ❤️
  • L Kish
    Next best thing to visiting the parks
    If you’re a fan of Universal Orlando or even if you’re still thinking about your first trip, you’ll love the UUOP podcast. The hosts are informative, lively & down to earth real people. Great mix of news, history & background, behind the scenes, special guests, reviews and good old theme park fun. Check it out!
  • TAB0936
    A must listen to podcast
    This podcast covers the history of Universal Studios plus up to date happenings which is needed in today’s world. I can’t wait to hear the review of the upcoming Velocicoaster!
  • Silentbrodie99
    Great listen
    The crew at UUOP are simply just amazing. The dynamic between the four host is very natural. They truly seem to like each other and banter is not at all forced. They are very informative and have varied opinions on topics. Check them out I don’t think you will be disappointed.
  • Turner23G
    UUOP
    Throughly enjoy listening every week. Been a UOAP for many years now, and I’ve just discovered the podcast back in July. Crazy to see the growth over the last few months, and I love that they have built a great following and a little community. Love UUOP, thanks for all you do!
  • xandra.nicole
    Perfect for all Universal lovers
    I’ve never been a fan of listening to podcasts in general until I stumbled upon this one just over a year ago. And now, I can’t get enough! I absolutely love Universal, but have a limited amount of people to discuss it with. Listening to this podcast feels like dropping in on a conversations with friends who love the parks just as much as I do. Lee, Tracy, Chris, and Darren each have awesome, unique personalities and are so fun and engaging to listen to and laugh along with. The occasional interviews with park creators and experts are incredibly interesting as well. What more can I say? I’m a huge fan!
  • Brittani Harrison
    Great Universal Podcast!
    I love hearing from Universal fans that are as die-hard as I am! The Horror Nights shorts they released in summer 2019 were so neat to listen to! I loved hearing what all of the past years did for haunted houses and scare zones although I would have loved some commentary and less reading from a script for those but otherwise they were great! My favorite part of the podcast is when they do the small updates around Universal. Lee & Tracey especially have so much enthusiasm which gets me pumped although..... sometimes Tracey laughs so loud into the microphone that I'm pretty sure my ears start bleeding when I'm listening through headphones. Keep up the good work, crew! -Brittani from Birmingham, AL, USA
  • DennisDJr
    One of the best out there!
    I’ve been listening to the UUOP for years now and each and every episode is full fun, heart, laughter and most importantly all of the Universal, IOA and other news and rumors us theme park enthusiasts look forward to each and every week! From Tracy, Lee, Chris, Darren and all the way back to Hunter and each guest you invite on all contribute to an enjoyable experience each and every Tuesday!
  • Gabe M. (laker793)
    Extremely Informative and Extremely Funny
    As someone who has their own podcast, I don't often listen to many. I am extremely picky with the quality of shows and the content. UUOP had me hooked from the first listen. Great audio, fun topics, great persononalities and great guests! Each host brings their own unique perspective, likes, dislikes and style of humor. It truly feels like each time I turn on the show, im hanging out with friends to nerd out about something we all love...THEME PARKS! These Lee, Tracey, Darren and Chris know Universal Orlando Resort like the back of their hands! Keep up the amazing work and jazzed to hear even more of UUOP! - Gabe of Theme Park Duo

    Great show
    Hey guys great show. I’m a Team Leader within Universal within Events and I want to appreciate all your commentary. Listening to you guys helps me when I talk to our guests on how some information may not reach them or how to properly convey it. It has helped me and helped my teams since we work pretty much everything around the resort. Hope to see you guys around the resort enjoying yourself throughout the day and night. Thank you for all you do.
