- Hi everyone!
Welcome to the start of a brand new vlog series - it's our first ever Florida trip series, we're off to sunny Orlando for 10 nights!
In this vlog we make out way to Heathrow to fly out to Orlando with British Airways. We park at the Meet & Greet parking, make full use of the Terminal 5 Plaza Premium Lounge, before eventually making our flight (after long delays) :)
In Orlando we pick up our car hire from Avis before finally checking into our room at the Rosen Inn International on International Drive.
We cram so much into the 10 nights - we visit Magic Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, Epcot, Animal Kingdom, and attend the Orlando Informer Meet-Up at Universal Orlando Resort. There's also loads of food including the best Disney Parks snacks and some of our favourite off-site restaurants. (There's also some shopping too!)
Don't forget to subscribe, there's so much fun to come!
Thankyou for watching!

Morning guys! Just watched the vlog whilst in bed with a cup of tea. Brilliant. Good to see that Orlando air still hits the same at the car pick up! 😂😂😳😳
It was a touch cooler than we're used to (we usually go in September) but that Florida air still hits 😍 thankyou for watching!
Beginning my binge here. YAY :)
Thankyou for watching! 😊😊
Arghhhh, I fly out Saturday, I am so excited.
That's very exciting!!
So fantastic to see you getting back to the magic!
Thankyou for watching! 😊😊
So glad im finally watching your travel day - cant wait to watch the rest of your trip x
Aww thankyou so much for watching! 😊😊
Love a travel day!!! So excited that you guys have been back to Florida, can’t wait to follow along on this series 🥰🥰
We got SO lucky with the border reopening in time! Thankyou so much for watching, hope you enjoy! 🥰🥰
Very useful information thanks. Enjoyed your vlog. Stumbled across your vlog really enjoyed it
That's very kind, thankyou for watching! 😊
Spot on guys loved it .we love rosen perfect location cant wait for more …thanks
Yeah we're big fans of the Rosen hotels. Thankyou so much, really appreciate it! 🙌
I’m so happy you guys finally got to go!!! Cant wait for the next vids! Xxx
Thankyou! Xxx
going back to orlando for holiday in 2 months again! I can’t wait to go again I love it so much
I hope you have an amazing time!!
@@WizardsAndWalt thank you! next time you go I hope you have a good time again!
Only just got round to starting watching your Florida vlogs! Looking forward to watching the rest. I miss the International Drive area, we always used to stay in that area when we first started visiting Orlando (right across the road from the sling shot). But the draw of staying onsite at Disney and Universal means we've not really experienced the I Drive area much lately. We still like to drive up and down it when we're staying at Universal, just to see what's changed really. We were watching one of our old videos recently that we'd taken driving along I Drive back in the early 90's. It's unbelievable to see how it's changed since then.
Sorry only just seen this! We LOVE I Drive - I think the lack of perks onsite at WDW means we'll be here more often. We love being so close to all the restaurants, and the free parking is a bonus too. Thankyou so much for watching, hope you had a lovely Xmas! 😊🎄
Fab travel day! Shame about the delay, hope you claimed your compensation since it was over a 3 hour delay 🤣
Can't wait to catch up on the rest of the vlogs! 😍
You bet we claimed that compensation! 🤩😂 thankyou so much for watching!
Finally got some time to watch some vlogs and we started with your Travel Day.
We’ve been so excited for this.
David always gets a travel scent, and also like you guys we’re more WH Smith than Paul Smith.
Glad you lucked out with the seats - and we have to say how amazing was the night shots with the street and building lights? Soooo good.
Sorry you had so many delays and then had to drive, but glad that you got there finally!

Thankyou for watching gents! We were quite gutted about being too tired to go out when we landed, but we made up for it on the rest of the trip. Grateful to have made it there at all 👍
We hope the move has gone smoothly today, enjoy your new home! 🏡 X
So many new hotel has been built on i drive. Love that they put a New Home2 hotel opposite universal hotels.
We love the area, so much to see and do!
I’m also staying for 10 nights, at the Rosen inn and only doing Disney this time lol. Next Saturday night I will be sat in The Outback restaurant. I’m so excited. Great vlog
We loved the hotel, such a fun area! Have a great time!
Great travel day lounge looked fab. Such a shame about the delay but as long as you get there it doesn’t matter.
Xx
Surprised you don’t have more followers! Likeable couple, good intro, nice editing and manage to capture the ‘good stuff’ in a short enough video to stay watching! Followers will come, really hope you enjoyed your holiday together. Me and my girlfriend are off there in May staying at a Rosen Inn so this was good to watch!
Hello 👋 thankyou for the kind words! The holiday was so much fun. All the Rosen Inn's in Orlando are pretty much the same - no frills but clean, comfy, and in great locations, you'll have a great time. Thankyou for watching!
Absolutely buzzing to binge these! I love a good old travel day! 😍 so jealous, hope you guys had the BEST time! ✨
Aww thankyou Stephy! We had the best time 😊 thankyou so much for watching - hope you enjoy your binge! 🥰
@@WizardsAndWalt no worries! it looks like you definitely did! can’t wait for the rest! 🤩
Hey guys so o got recommended you by UA-cam and for once the algorithm worked haha! This is literally my 1st video I've watched and you seem right up my street! I travelled to Seattle literally the day borders opened to FINALLY go see my boyfriend of 3 years 1st actual real life meeting! (now fiance haha!) This 1st day travel blog gives me all the feels of the excitement I had and I love everything about this vlog from the emotion to the exhaustion because I felt all those too! I'm now on a post night shift binge of the rest of your holiday vlogs as I need to stay awake as I'm on a day shift tomorrow after only finishing a night shift this morning!! Joys of nurse life haha! I really just wanted to say hi to you guys but I'm a chatterbox! 😸 Especially when tired after 3 night shifts! Can't wait to go carry on with my binge so I'll finally shut up! Hope you had a wonderful christmas full of joy and love and happiness! I'll be celebrating Christmas and New year together to fit in with my shifts! 😻😻😻❤️❤️❤️
Aww wow so glad the algorithm sent you here! 😊 Wow congratulations on your engagement - what a story that is! 💒 Christmas was lovely - hope you had a nice time too!
Thankyou so much for watching - we have a great time making them and are so happy people are enjoying them. New episodes every Wednesday and Sunday!
Thankyou again! 🥰🙌
Awesome vlog! Can’t wait to see the next vlog. I’m wanting to the Orlando informer meet up one day.
Ooo just about to start editing that one - that was such a good night! Thankyou for watching! 🥰
That was a touch with the seats 👌
Love your attitude that nothing was going to stress you because the end game was Florida. Can't wait to see the rest and the Orlando Informer meet up in particular 🌍
Flight delays, return testing rules changing (twice!) while out there, none of it matters really, just super grateful to be there 🙌 OI Meet-Up should be up on New Year's Day, it was the highlight of our trip 😊 thankyou so much for watching, really appreciate it!
Great blog and brings back some memories. After many cancelled trips we are off in April.
That was great luck with the seats as well, always nice when you don’t have anyone next to you.
Will watch the rest of your vids 👍
Yeah we got very lucky with the seats - just grateful to be there though to be honest! Wow April will be here in no time, how exciting! 🤩 thankyou for watching!
Travel day vlogs are always my favourite 😍 just so exciting!! Great vlog guys can’t wait to binge the rest! Xx
Aww yeah travel days are the best! thankyou for watching! 💖😊
Loved your travel day! Brings back so many memories!🥰 we completely get how you feel with the tiredness by the time you get to the hotel! Love the Rosen Inn though, it’s right next to the largest McDonald’s in the world!🙌🏻
Can’t wait to see the rest of your Orlando vlogs! X
Thankyou! We had so many plans for that night but the delays just really took it out of us 😴 Yeah we love I Drive and the Rosens are always great hotels - so close to all the food!! 😍 thankyou for watching! X
Loved watching this! Bringing back so many memories! Such a shame you was delayed for so long taking off, but the lounge looked great to chill in! Can’t wait to watch more! 🤩🤩
Aww thankyou guys! Isn't travel day just so exciting!? 🤩 thankyou for watching!

Yay! Look forward to watching the series. Enjoyed the travel day vlog but felt for you, that’s such a long day with those delays but worth it in the end.
We were so tired after all that but just super grateful to be back 🥰 thankyou so much for watching!
Great travel day vlog ❤️ I’m looking forward to the rest of them x
The next one goes up tomorrow! 🙌 Thankyou so much for watching! 🥰🥰 x
Just got served your channel up as recommendation, subbed!
Still trying to place Kim's accent, am wanting to say Edinburgh lol?
Good start to your channel, all the best guys.
Edinburgh is pretty much correct yep, lol! 👏 thankyou for watching!
We weren’t huge fans of Heathrow, or the hotels round about, and hoping Gatwick for future trips 😊 Lounges are so good, especially with the delay you had. MCO never looked so good. Great travel day guys 👍🏻👍🏻
We do always like to have a lounge, and like you say it really paid off this time with the delays 👌 thankyou for watching! 🙌
Enjoying catching up on your vlogs. Great footage . Nice Lounge. It’s been so long since we were at Heathrow. I loved English Breakfasts . It looked so yummy.
Really want to visit England, again. Thank you for sharing this. ❤️
Awww I loved how happy you guys were when you got on the plane ✈️ 🙌🏻💜
It had been a long time coming, still couldn't quite believe it!😂😂
Great vlog! So great to see you back home in the magic! What an exhausting travel day 😢
Thankyou! We were so grateful to be back! 😍🙌
Looking forward to the rest of the series- think you got there just after we left and headed back to Spain... good vlog 👍
Yes I think we did 👍 tiredness got the better of us this day, the rest of the vlogs are more interesting 😂 thankyou for watching 🙌
Shame about the delay guys but still a great travel day! Lounge looked good and nice selection o the plane too. No wonder you was both knackered by the time you got to the hotel, that’s a long day especially after the early wake up call. Looking forward to following along
Long delays got the better of us in the end 😴 but just super grateful to have got there at all 👌 thankyou for watching!
Great job guys
Thankyou! 😊😊
Just watched your travel day! Hope you had a brill time, will watch the other vids soon. I love the Rosen inn, but it’s been ages since I last went to the USA, I think it was call Quality inn international drive when I last went. I soooo need to get back soon.
The rosen is so good for being so close to all the restaurants and attractions 😍 thankyou so much for watching! 🙌
So good to see travel vlogs again! Really enjoyed the video and can’t wait to see the rest of your trip :)
It was such a relief to finally get there (as you'll know yourselves!) 😂 thankyou so much for watching 🥰
New subscriber here so off to see if the next one is uploaded. Fabulous travel day Vlog xx
Hello! 👋 thankyou so much for watching! - we do have a few more uploaded, then new episodes every Sunday and Wednesday 😊 thanks again! X
How dare you call the MCO carpet ugly 😂😂😂😂 so nice to see you guys having a good travel day ❤️
Ugly but we love it! 😂😍💖 thankyou for watching!
We were at Rosen inn at Pointe!! Nice retro hotel.
We like the Rosen hotels! Cheap and comfortable 😊 thanks for watching!
Awesome vlog! Loved it! Really glad to see the Rosen Inn International too as it will be our first time there in April! Looking forward to watching the rest of your Orlando series! 😀
Ah we loved this hotel, had everything we needed and close to all the I Drive stuff we like, and only a short drive to Disney 😊 thankyou for watching! 🙌
I will be there in April too staying at rosen inn International when are you going?
@@neash3669 we're going on the 7th 😃
Great vlog guys! Shame about all the delays but so true that it’s worth the wait! Hotel looks nice - will keep in mind as defo looking at staying on I Drive for a few nights next year and we’ve never stayed in that area before! So we’re excited to get more tips on the area from you guys through this series ☺️ can’t wait to watch the next one! X
The Rosen hotels (International/Pointe/LBV/nr Universal) are all great resorts, we love them, everything you could need and all in great locations, definitely recommend 👍
The delays got the better of us in the end (hence the tiredness 😴) but we were so grateful to be there 💖 thankyou so much for watching! Xx
New Sub! I was wondering, as you stayed offsite (paused vid 1 min is - perhaps you mention this further along) how the Genie+ worked for you.
My partner & I are also staying offsite next year (i-drive) for his 30th.
Once you had your Disney park tickets, were you able to make park reservations (Animal Kingdom, Magic etc) immediately or did you have to wait for this (60days ish)
also, as you were offsite, could you make ride reservations from 7:00am as Disney Resort guests were able too, or did you have to wait until 9:00am?
Thank you so much.
Hi, thankyou for subscribing 😊
We chose not to use Genie+ at all. We don't personally like the 'pay to ride' system of Lightning Lanes so chose not to bother. We are happy to queue standby (within reason 😂), and this trip was more about just soaking up the atmosphere and not worrying too much about Genie+. Maybe next time though!
As for park reservations - you can do them as soon as you've got your tickets/linked them to the app! You can already book reservations for next year 🥳
Thankyou for watching!
Hi guys i am new to your channel and just joined. great video and look forward to watching more from you.
Hello 👋 thankyou for watching, hope you enjoy our other vlogs too 😊
Nice One Guys . "STAY SAFE "
Great travel day :) shame about the flight delay but not all bad squeezing couple extra drinks in. We love Rosen inn. Stayed there a few times. Was it international or the one closest to universal?
Thanks Gary! Yeah we definitely made the most of the extra time in the lounge 🥃It was the International one, next to the big McDonald's, it was a perfect base for us. Thankyou for watching!
@@WizardsAndWalt that’s the one we’ve stayed at. Perfect location!
Great video!! How was the hotel?! We are considering this hotel for our next trip in February and just found your video!
The hotel was absolutely fine! Great value for money, comfy, clean, nice staff, and a great location. No complaints at all!
Hi, going to Orlando in Sept with BA so v interesting blog. We need to hire a car for 4 adults and luggage. What vehicle was yours? Looked like it would suit us.
Hello 👋 this was a standard SUV I believe (Subaru Forester) - it's not as big as it looks, we struggled slightly on the way home with our luggage (2x suitcase, 2x hand luggage, 1x large holdall) so maybe check out the bigger options for 4 adults. Hope that helps 😊
I'm gonna engage in some slight detective work here :) I've been watching travel videos because I'm bored (haha!) and came across your channel and another. Now you say you had a plane change correct? Was your BA flight delayed for around approx 3/4 hours? And did you fly in Nov 2021? If so, I think you may have been on the same flight as Lydia Cook (same channel name). She and her partner had booked the two-seat row but because of the plane change, BA bumped them to a three-seat row and allocated those seats to you. Well that's my theory anyway! The things you think of at 11:30 at night eh?! Lol!
Hello 👋 haha excellent detective work, I think you might be right - just checked out Lydia Cook's vlog and looks like potentially the same day to me! 😂
Hi guys loving the vlogs just a quick one were looking for cheap hotel for 2 nights in august before we stay at portofino and port orleans would you recommend and have you any tips wheres best to stay at rosen pointe orlando many thanks
Hello 👋 We really rate the Rosen hotels. They're nothing fancy, but they're clean, comfy, and always in great locations. Also have bonuses like free car parking too 👍 if you just want a cheap but well-equipped hotel 'base' then you can't go wrong with one of Orlando's Rosen hotels. Thankyou for watching 😊
We’re actually going to same hotel in June
We do enjoy the Rosen hotels. Really good value, clean, comfy, and all in great locations 👍 thankyou for watching!
What are BA like to travel with?
We found them to be great 👍 We generally just fly with whoever works out cheapest for us, and it's nearly always BA. Got us there and back in one piece, and the staff were all very lovely. No complaints really 😊
Nice video! We have a video of the amazing Orlando international airport, showing terminals A and B arrivals and parking, car rentals and terminal C construction on our channel. Thank you for the nice tour!
