    Great travel day vlog guys. I'm so excited to follow along with the rest of your trip. We went out around the same time as you so you are bringing all the lovely memories back 🥰. We loved our BA flights too. Our kids are older now, so it was pretty much 9 hours of being left alone to watch films. (Bliss). Travelling with young kids is so exhausting, but you handled it amazingly well. xx

      @thefinlayadventure6255  8 місяців тому

      Hi. Thanks for watching. Glad you're enjoying the videos.
      For Disney, It works through the My Disney Experience app. You use use it to book your ride times and enter through the Lightning Lane.
      Universal works differently. They will give you a card at guest services which you need to take the queue for each ride. They will either let you on straight away, or give you a return time depending on the stand-by wait time.

      I would maybe keep your comments to yourself. Their child could have needs suffer anxiety sensory issues im saying he does but you never know the reason why so I suggest maybe keeping opinions to yourself. It’s none of you business everyone parents differently and their is no right or wrong when it comes to parenting children don’t come with instructions and every child is different too. If you can’t say anything nice then don’t say anything at all. No need to be rude and no one forcing you to watch you don’t know them personally or their lives on a few clips filmed on here so your in no place to judge what so ever in anyone.
