The Burgesses
Приєднався 1 жов 2017
Hey
I’m Gemma, hubby is Ian and then there’s Jake and Abigail. We’re the Burgesses.
The kids introduced us to You Tube before our 1st ever trip to Florida in 2017 and I’ve loved watching people’s holiday vlogs ever since. I love watching everyone’s adventures. It helps me plan our own adventures and keeps the Disney blues away 😂 in between trips.
We decided to make our own little vlogs and share them with all you lovely viewers and hope you enjoy watching us have fun and maybe even get some ideas for your trips too.
Thanks for watching 😘 xx

I can’t tell you how nice it is to have a car in Florida. It’s like a totally different holiday. The freedom - it’s great. Today we headed back to VB to attempt it again hoping for a more successful trip than yesterday and then off we went to do some shopping and eating and to watch some drones. I’m intrigued to know if anyone actually reads the description. Let me know in the comments by addin...

I would love to rent a covetable oneday! Looks like such a bucket list experience 😂
@@Taylor_and_Zara it’s surprisingly not that expensive if you only want to do it for the day or 2. I did have one booked for the next trip but then decided actually we could do with a car for the whole trip and defo not gonna fit all the cases in. 😬. Another time though 😎
Welcome home 🇬🇧 I hope you all enjoyed your holiday in Florida. & their ice creams I just remembered their ice creams when I went to Studios. Which was many years ago.
@@michaelconnolly2554 thank you. We had a great time. Feels so long ago now. Onto the next trip for hopefully more ice cream 🍦 😃 x
Are you going to be vlogging your California trip?
@@emilycrocker5023 I said no and then I said maybe I will then I said no again and now I’m undecided but probably not or if I do I’ll only vlog parts of it 😝 Undecided much I know!! 🤣
Great informative vlog. Can you please tell me what sort of car you got when travelling to the airport? Does it easily fit lots of suitcases in? Never used ubers always have a hire car. Look forward to the next Florida series xx
@@charlottesmall9684 thank you. The Uber XL are always large enough for I think 6 people with plenty of room for cases. Always different car types. Just an Uber could be a tiny car but will always fit 4 passengers. Just might not be much room for luggage. X
Excellent final morning at Universal and travelling home vlog. Thank you, Gemma, Ian, Abigail, and Jake, for allowing us to join your adventure in Florida 2024.

i think you have to be 18 to fly and 18 or 21 to check into a hotel in orlando
Yes it’s 21
@@rustconsoleedition7092 just depends on where they’re going but yes to 21 checking into a hotel in Orlando. Apparently they can fly alone from 14 with most airlines. Not telling Abbie that! 🤣
Great content from my favourite Florida vacation vloggers 😁 You made me lol with your Rosen Inn trip adviser reviews 😂 Looking forward to the 🏴 vlog & the 2025 vacation content 😊

Amazing vlog as always... Absolutely love the content you do and looking forward to your future ones as well!
@@chriswintle-camp5390 ah thank you so much. Happy to hear you enjoyed xx
Love ur vlogs
@@MurrayBenjafield-u4s ah thank you so much ☺️
👍👍
Absolutely nothing wrong with an honest opinion Gemma. One of the reasons I love your vlogs is because you say it how it is. When I’m looking for hotel recommendations I often watch vlogs to get an idea of the room, facilities etc so you are doing a great job. The photos on websites don’t always show the true picture. That toilet flush would have made me turn straight out of the room! Keep up the good work😀
This is really helpful! We're staying for two weeks at Sapphire Falls so of course we could get the boat the the park and walk from there on a non park day, saves the cost of an Uber! Unless anyone knows a quicker way in which case please do let me know haha!
Ian - just get memory foam sketchers, I’ve been wearing them for years and really notice the difference if I try wear shoes without memory foam they feel so hard. The surf 🏄♂️ simulator looked so much fun 🤩
If i remember correctly that roller coaster in Dream Works was Woody Woodpecker..
Excellent vlog of your last full day at Universal Studios and IOA. Water rides picked on Gemma, lol. Great content by all well done.
Awww great video again! So love watching them. Lol. We say ‘it’s hot, could be too hot’ all the time and totally got it!! 😆😆😆.
👍👍
Ubers 100% work out cheaper across an entire trip when you take the hire charge, parking charges at both hotels and parks, petrol, tolls etc.... it tends to work out far cheaper even if taking Ubers every day.
Also if you're going to applebees, if you come out of the front surfside reception doors and turn left as if you're going to the parking lot, there is a big black gate that opens straight out onto IDrive, would've saved that initial 7 minute walk.
This is assuming you're at surfside and not dockside, sorry, I didn't pay attention to which hotel you came out of, haha
@@robturner4895 we were at Dockside. Yeah I know about going through the car park at Surfside. Found that out a few years ago after we got a bus to Surfside and walked all the way round 😞🤣
@@robturner4895 I think it just really depends on what you want to do on your trip. I worked out the cost for Ubers to do what we did on our first day of having the car and Ubers would have cost more than the daily car hire for the mustang and parking. If we had hired a basic standard car then Ubers would have been double the cost BUT if we were getting Ubers we wouldn’t have gone to the amount of places we did because of the cost. We like the freedom of a car. Some trips we’ve been to places which we definitely wouldn’t have gone to without a car. Short trips no car is fine. Long trips definitely would choose a car. X
@theburgesses2004 yeah I think either a villa especially a car is a must, but a ce rally located hotel even multiple journeys with uber comfort vehicles works out cheaper.
We did the airport ride there at night and it started to thunder and then lightening one of scariest things we have ever done for soaked and praying didn’t get a lightening strike on the airboat
Stay at Bahama Bay resort again we will give you a good deal to stay at our condo and a bedroom each :)
Quick question when you say I Drive do you mean International Drive? Me & family stay a Motel at International Drive nearly around this time 19 years ago. Can’t remember the name of the Motel .
@@michaelconnolly2554 yes that’s right. I Drive for short. I think most of the motels are still there but some have changed names x

nice vlog i stayed in the ramada plaza on idrive in september awesome 2 weeks sadly British airways cancelled my flight back so ended up on american airlines the next evening to heathrow insted of gatwick but BA gave me £525 compensation plus expences which made up for it
£525 compensation and an extra night in Orlando. Not too shabby. Dont know too much about Ramada plaza but happy to hear you had a great stay. Always nice to find somewhere you like and happy to return too 😃 xx
Wow you’ve definitely opened my eyes, I’ve been 3 times and stayed in a villa and always got the 14 days ticket! But want to go with my hubby& 13 y/o( both never been before) I’ve priced it up& for us 3 staying on international dr for 2wks in school hols ( I’m TA so have to go then& we don’t drive) we were looking at approx £15,000 with spending money but will definitely re think those tickets as they are the most expensive part for us I’ve found would appreciate a vlog about non drivers and tips for getting around cheaply ❤
I’d definitely aim for end of August for slightly lower prices and look to book during the airlines sales. Ticket wise it’s so easy to just say yeah I’ll get them all and spend a fortune. Prioritise what you want to do/see and go thought different options so see which works out best price wise. Hope whenever and whatever you decide you have a wonderful trip 😃
Thanks it’s now gone from the 3 of us to potentially 9 of us! So looking at 6 br villas and now we have a driver and I have to stick to school holidays as I’m a teaching assistant I might be able to be a couple of days flexible but that’s about it thanks again x
@@kayleyhoughton372 ah others wanted to get in on the action 🤣
Ahhh the airboat ride we did one too many years ago. It's fun. I got a bit of a sunburn too 😅 6 years ago we rented a Camaro I loved that car. A year later we had a Mustang. I was not a big fan of that one. Maybe you should compare next time and let me know which car wins. Great vlog as always
The thing is you don’t notice you’re getting burnt because of the wind 🫣 Fun though. Ian was like a kid with a new toy. He loves his cars. It was meant to be a dodge challenger so he was a little gutted that wasn’t available. He’ll see what we get next time 🚗
Happy belated birthday and thankyou for another amazing vlog. Loved the airboat and especially that beautiful bird. What a wonderful family. Been a fan since Avanti Palms vids
A delayed thank you ☺️. It was definitely an added bonus to the boat ride. Loved seeing the bird and the kids fell for her. 🥰
I just stay there in May and I really enjoyed it there I stayed in 101 Dalmatians preferred room ground floor I went solo and the staff went above and beyond they are all so nice
The Dalmatian area was so nice. Lovely hotel and so Disney 😃
Happt belated Birthday , loved the vlog and the clips of the birdie looks like it wants to home with you. Ian well what can we say , the car is def a must for you looking very chuffed to be driving it there . Looking forward to next vlog x
A delayed thank you ☺️. The kids would have loved to have brought the bird home! Oh Ian loved the car. Can’t wait to drive one again xx
@@theburgesses2004 💕
Great vlog on your airboat trip spotting aligators and afternoon spent at Universal. Have you ever thought about going down to the everglades? It is a long way from Orlando. Abbie with her new friend Cocoa the Cockatoo. Bless. Back at Earl of Sandwich. Happy Gemma. Great content by all.
If we ever decided to venture further afield I think it would be a must to visit the Everglades. Maybe one day. She loved that bird. So did Jake. 😝
Happy late birthday to you. It’s looks like Abbie has a new friend which is the bird.
A delayed thank you ☺️ . If she could have brought the bird home she would have 😝
What are those foot tests called? I would like to have one done
Not gonna lie. I have no idea. The guy just kinda pressured him into doing it 😝
great way to spend a birthday , cool alternative firework spot and loved that friendly parrot , hope you are all well catch you next time .
It’s always great to step away from the parks and do something different. Even better when you make a new friend 🦜😝
Happy birthday 👍👍🎂🎂
Thank you 🤩
Such a useful video! Thank you! I am planning a trip next summer for our family of four (2 boys, 13 and 11) and have been struggling with budget.
Thank you. Oh that’s exciting. It’s very easy to overspend. Set yourself a budget and see what you can get with it. Have a play with dates if you can as may make a huge difference. X
Totally agree with you about accomodation. Used to think the same, it's just a base. We had a private timeshare room booked in Vegas after disney last year. Got there and it was dirty, smelly amd the mattress and pillows were seriously stained (shouldn't have looked🧐). Was totally gross but by the time we checked in it was 1030pm and we were too tired to try and sort it out. We were up at 8am the next morning finding a hotel on the strip amd sent photos to air bnb as the owner was fobbing us off. Got a refund the next day thankfully but I wouldn't have cared. We just wanted out of there. The funny thing was, he had more positive than negative responses on his page🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🫤. Stick to what you know and love, even if it is a bit more. It definitely makes the trip having somewhere clean and nice to go back to
Oh no. That sounds awful. No one should have to deal with all of that on holiday. I’m happy to say that although he did not like the Rosens one bit that they weren’t dirty (well I wouldn’t like to imagine what’s in the 30 year old carpet but…) or at least from what we saw all was pretty clean. Just not for us. They probably deleted all the bad reviews. 😬

Great vlog guys. We stayed on Southern Dunes this year, which is right next to that Walmart and just down the road from Manny’s where we also had our best meal of the holiday, in fact, probably the best steak I’ve ever eaten.
Pretty sure Ian had the steak or a previous visit and said it was lovely. It’s a much now on every visit (if we have a car) 😛
