Hi Guys, new subscriber here, love Florida like yourselves, been about 20 times also, and we love overnighting at a Airport Hotel the night before also, extends the holiday nicely, looking forward to watching your vlogs 🍻👍🏼
Thanks for watching!! I agree airport hotel kick starts the holiday, it’s the best feeling being there the night before knowing you have the whole trip ahead of you! Thank you for watching :)
We were due to fly on the 10th too, so I completely relate to how you felt prior to your trip, we were exactly the same. We also book DIY as it gives so much more flexibility but it means you can sometimes come unstuck a bit in situations like this. Fortunately Disney and Alamo were both exceptional and couldn’t have been more helpful with our changes. Aer Lingus did not cover themselves in glory initially but we got there in the end and flew out on the Saturday. Great travel day vlog, I am really looking forward to the rest of the series.
It was such a strange feeling, couldn’t get excited but also felt so bad for everyone out there! Glad you managed to get it sorted and get out there too, thankfully all the companies we both dealt with handled it well! Thank you for watching 🫶🏽🫶🏽
Thank you! It was hard to judge as we hadn’t been when something like had happened before, we had no idea how bad damage or anything would be! But we ended up having an amazing trip! :)
The Disney blues are the worst aren’t they?! Best way to get over them is a freezer stash of Gideons cookies and Disney vlogs 🤣 thank you so much for watching and glad our vlog can ease the Disney blues 🫶🏽
Ah this was the day we flew home 😢 was lovely reliving our trip through you on Instagram post Florida. The hurricane took away a few days of our holiday sadly, but I’m glad it wasn’t as bad as they had expected and was a very strange experience! Xx can’t wait for the rest of the vlogs 🎉
Travel home day is always so depressing isn’t it lol. It’s a shame you missed a few days of your holiday, I am glad Orlando didn’t get as much damage as expected, I was so worried for everyone out there! Such a strange experience as you say! Has it put you off travelling at that time of year again? Xx
@ it really is!! When the plane took off I was nearly in tears lol. Yes Orlando was in good shape luckily! Absolutely, we are planning the next trip to go in April/may 2026 as it has put us off. Bit like what you said in your vlog xx
so glad to come across your channel 10 minute in and loving it. Going to Dallas next year for my first solo holiday so just started to watch theses travel vlogs. I also plan on documenting my trip on UA-cam as of to ride horses and bulls. may I ask what camera and mic you are using please. seems nice and compact
Thank you so much for watching, glad you enjoyed the vlog :) Dallas sounds like a brilliant trip, I’d love to properly explore Texas! We use the DJI Osmo pocket 3 & the mics are the DJI ones too, we previously used a Canon G7X mark ii but that died on us, I loved them both but do like how compact the DJI is, it’s nice and discreet!
Can’t wait for the up coming vlogs! Just a question about the MPC app is there any age restrictions do you know? I will be going with my 3 little ones x
Daniel is a really confident driver out there, I also drove once. It’s not that bad in our experience you just have to pay attention. I’ve found driving in the UK has got awful over the years, their roads are just bigger
Just watched your latest vlog and in it you said you had been charged £3,000 for your hire car in Iceland. I recall watching your iceland vlogs of which I must say we thoroughly enjoyed and have in fact visited recently and ate at a few of the restaurants you recommended. But what got me intrigued was how were you charged so much. Also I think your return flight was cancelled but nothing more was mentioned obviously you got home but sounded like a nightmare end to your holiday x
Thank you for watching & aww I’m glad you managed to get to Iceland and use some of our recommendations. We loved Iceland, but had a nightmare end to the trip. We didn’t finish the vlogs because I was just crying & then by the time we got home I didn’t want to think about it anymore. Basically when we took the car back to Avis, they accused us of causing damage to the car (we hadn’t the damage was already on the car) but when we arrived it was a blizzard and stupidly I didn’t take any photo evidence as we just wanted to get in the car out of the snow. Anyway long story short, they wouldn’t let us leave the car terminal without paying £3000 in damages (the dent was smaller than a 50p piece) even if we had caused the damage I don’t understand where they got that price from. I tried disputing the charges but nothing happened AND when we got home a month later, they added another £1000 charge to my card, I was almost sick! But luckily, I managed to get that charged reversed from my bank! So yeah, I will never ever use Avis or Budget again for car hire even if they gave me the car for free 😂 x
Great vlog as always, I'm interested in this MPC app, I've Googled but from what I can see is that it's for US citizens how did you find out about this and do you have anymore info
Thank you for watching!! So MPC is for US citizens, visa holders and now ESTA holders too! So if you just download the app it asks you to input your trip / flight details and passport details! When you land in the US you have to submit a selfie and then you can use the MPC line. We used it in vegas too, and that airport at the time didn’t have a dedicated MPC line, but it still made our customs experience shorter, we were at the desk for like 2 mins. In Orlando they didn’t have it sign posted, but we asked one of the agents and he told us to use a different line as we had completed the MPC form ok the app!
@kimberlys_journey brilliant thank you for replying so quick, I will definitely give it a go when I go orlando next, the security lines in the past for me have been soo long
Personally we like Alamo, purely because we have always had really good customer service from them. I always book the pay later option, as you don’t pay a deposit and I book it pretty much once the trip is booked and keep re checking the price, as it usually comes down. Our last 3 trips and the one next year we have had full size SUVS and when it’s two weeks we have always managed to get it for around £600, for 3 weeks we paid just over £900! I would advise to always just check car hire prices and re book it anytime it comes down xx
@ Thankyou! I’ll do that then. We go October 2026 and prices aren’t out yet so I’ll wait till next year and just book and keep cancelling. Thankyou so much!
Great Travel Day. Ending it with a Blaze and Gideons is perfection. Looking forward to watching the series. 🙌
Agreed, nothing tops a blaze and Gideons on travel day, it’s become our tradition now! Thank you so much for watching :)
Haha Daniel I am with you on the bathroom kettle filling 😅 So glad this series has begun! It brought back great memories of this summer. Xx
Thanks for watching Rach, still hoping one of our trips overlaps one day 🫶🏽🫶🏽
So glad to see you back. Happy that Milton didn't ruin your plans.
Thank you! I’m glad we managed to get there :)

We’ve been back coming up to 2 weeks now…massive bout of the Disney Blues so this has cheered us up no end!

Thank you so much for watching ❤ & not that I’m aware of, my family also used it at Tampa airport and they had my 8 year old niece with them! Xx
@ ah wonderful thank you for answering ❤️
I’m amazed that you’re not afraid to drive in the USA

Who do you do your car hire with please? We’re going October 26 and we need this car! I’m not sure what to budget it for either. Thankyou!! 😊😊

First
Great vlog but the filter you use make your hubby look like he’s wearing eyeliner and eyeshadow 😂 poor man
Oops, I don’t use any filters in our vlogs, no idea what is happening there lol
Save up and get a Villa, lot dumps in that place
That’s the goal one day, get a villa over there
