Hi 🌜 what's up✨💦
日本に来てくれてありがとう！！
Hiya! I love the Japanese happiness shown in all those theme parks. It’s simply amazing ❤. They have the weirdest food in theme parks. I once had a black and red bun with some meat in Disneyland, and you’ve got insane food as well. Your visit to Universal Studios trip looks beautiful. Thanks for sharing and have a great week ahead 🤙
welcome japan❤
Looks like you had a great time!
Love love love thanx guys top video you made my mind up Universal it is can't wait thanx again 🙂
Loved that – such a riot of colour! I went to the Orlando one and my number one priority was the Jaws ride, sedate as it is. I just love Jaws. My wife said she wouldn't be that interested in going until she saw the Harry Potter bit and she perked up! 😅 We are going to the Harry Potter Studior Tour in London this year and she is seriously excited about that. Those Mario pancakes looked nuts! Another brilliant vid! I'm really looking forward to next week.
So much Japan content
Universal studio is awesome
Phoebe have u ever been to south india?
My gorgeous babe Phoebe❤ have you new boyfriend?
Phoebe looked good with James
BEST DAY EVER!!😂
Loved seeing the Mario World…was my son’s favorite game when he was little!
It is good to see how the Universal Japan compares to the Universal here in Florida.
Although Disney here is great, we also prefer Universal Florida or California!
Would love to visit the Japan parks too! ❤
Gooooooood morning, Phoebe! This video must have been an absolute delight for you to create and edit. I imagine that there are a lot of scenes and shots that didn't make the final cut, but which filled you with such happy memories while watching them. I say this because, it's so obvious even from your first shot, that you had a great time at USJ! Let's get into it…
* Gotta have that shot at the entrance (I see others behind you setting up their shot, too). Love it.
* Good teaser…which did you like better? Gotta watch to the end to find out!
* Again, good travel tips…here's how to get there and here's what to use.
* Seeing the opening and quick shots of the park while knowing what Universal Orlando is like is, honestly, so much fun for me personally. Can't help but compare (we have a Mel's Drive-In, too) and contrast (a roller coaster over the entrance?!? Too cool).
* Continuing with the bouncy, energetic, fun, and, most importantly, happy music!
* Universal does great work with their coasters. I need to ride the new ones here (we've got one in which you are riding on Hagrid's motorbike!)
* You both are expressing how best guests express their joy after a great ride…just pure emotion and almost gibberish when trying to describe it. I love that feeling!
* The crowd (and, of course, YOU) were really into that parade! That's so fantastic to see! (Guess too many people here in Florida are jaded…or it's just too hot 🤣)
* Ok…point of confusion…in the establishing shot of the Mario cafe, there are people at the tables and it looks like they're eating and drinking. Heck…there are guests behind you eating their snack while you get kicked out (they get kicked out too, I noticed). What's up with that silly rule of "You can't eat at a cafe in which you just bought the food"?! Did they ever explain why? Odd.
* 🤩In my comments to last weeks' video, I mentioned your use of the lanyard on your phone and was quite curious about it. Now I know why you reserved commenting on that! What a neat product. And, as we'll soon be traveling, we may have to pick one or two up. How was using them? Looked like it was a breeze for you both and provided security for them while in crowded public places. Great use of a product within you video–showing off how they work in the real world.
* Cool to see they have a Marvel area too. Big fan of the Spidey ride. Looks like they also have the Hulk roller coaster. Were you able to ride it? I once was at ours when they were testing it. Asked me, my brother, and everyone on the ride to stay on it while they tested it 10 times. Yup, rode it 10 consecutive times. (Was VERY dizzy when we finally got off, but loved it!).
* Ha! Can't tell if James liked the churro. 😂
* That Mario hat looked good on you!
* I'm now seriously excited for Mario World (gotta wait for 2-3 years…unless, of course, we find our way to Osaka).
* Very good explaining how timed entry works. Seems like every park is starting to use those, as well as the virtual queues.
* Sometimes, a slow and fun ride is what you need during the day. As James said, super chill.
* The stunt shows are a hidden joy for me. Way to sit down, relax, and enjoy the day.
* Won't lie…I was waiting for your tripod to slowly … start … to … fall. 🤣
* You accidentally discovered the secret to a long day at any theme park. When I worked guest services at Walt Disney World (WDW), I always told my guest that, at some point in the afternoon, you need to find a place to stop and sit down for at least 20 minutes. Grab a tea, coffee, soda (or, here in the summers of Florida, a large water or Powerade), and recharge. It's absolutely essential. (In Florida, it usually rains about 2 or 3 in the afternoon, so that's the perfect time. Just wait out the rain and relax). Well done. (And gotta love James finishing the song for ya. 🤣)
* Universal has better snacks than WDW, IMO. (But they don't have Epcot's ability to drink and snack around the world! Best outdoor bar ever–with a serious cover charge, of course!)
* Potter World is absolutely amazing. Butter Beer is the BEST. And you both are right, the ride is quite difficult to describe without spoiling, other than to say, it is a must ride! But just wandering around that area is so much fun!
* Glad you were able to see it at night. The parks completely change at night, sometimes for the better.
* I find the comparison between the parks here in Orlando to be equals; it's just a matter of what you are looking for. Each has their strengths. But, based on your video of Disney Japan, I think I'd agree with you that Universal is better there. You need to try to find your way all the way to Orlando to see WDW, which has a lot more to offer than it does in Japan (Of course, so does Universal Orlando!).
* James–can't ask her followers to sub to your channel without asking yours to follow her! So, in your upcoming videos, be a good man and be sure to do so!!
* Can't wait for next week. I've always wanted to see Sapporo and it looks like you got to see some sakura!
I hope you are still basking in the happiness and glow of your time in Japan. I know, upon return to "real life," the pressures and stress creep back in–but you get to keep those at bay by simply watching your videos (and the shots on the cutting room floor–hopefully we'll see some of those in the shorts this week!). Thanks again for sharing your adventures at a great travel location and we look forward to seeing the north of Japan next week!
Cheers! Rob and Erin
PS: now to get one of those cool Casetify lanyards!
Great video with all the lovely food and the entertainment I would not want to go home.Thanks, A Lot, Phoebe.
Looks like so much fun!! I have another place to add to my growing list of must see destinations! It's great to see you so happy 😀
Great work Phoebe! I love seeing that sparkle in your eye every week I hit play on your new adventure. It’s amazing what the joy of travel and being around good company will do for you. So glad you’re having an amazing time on this trip. I went to Universal Studios Osaka back in 2007, but only stayed a half day. I’m sure it’s so much different now. And I’d love to sample butter beer. Hopefully I’ll get a chance to swing by the Hollywood park and see Super Nintendo world here at some point.
Two big kids, just having fun, loving the videos if only we could experience that feeling once in our lives. And turning the clock back 30 years.
So happy for You seeing you having so much fun.

Yep definitely Universal wins. By the way, we just got back from Iceland and your old video proved very helpful in our planning for the trip, so thanks!
本当に楽しそう！エンジョイしてくださいね！！
LOVE THIS! You guys make a great fun team 🙂
I'm glad you enjoyed USJ♪ We look forward to seeing you again😉
Japan has really been the medicine you've been looking for. I haven't seen you stop smiling since you arrived. 😍🤩
I love Japan too.. yeah😂❤
I'm japanese.
welcome to JAPAN！❤
