Michael, I am so impressed by the way you handle disappointments!!! You are such a good example to me! Thank you so much!
Wendy Mitchell yes!! Totally agree ! X
Thanks so much
@@JourneyTogetherToday which company did you use for your Dad's Scooter??? We get a Scooter for my Mom every trip.
So happy to see another trip with your father! The way the two of you interact is precious. You can see the love and respect that y’all share and I truly appreciate your families loving attitude. Thanks for sharing!
I totally agree. The are a blessed family to have so much love and respect :-)
Your dad is such a sweet person. I love his continual optimism and positive outlook. I see where you get it now. 😊
Teena D thank you so much!
I was at Disney Springs during that storm and was stuck inside World of Disney for hours. I saw every inch of that store!
Kathy Farris i learned early in my disney days that when their is a chance of rain, wear athletic clothes or even a swimsuit. Waterproof your stuff and just say hakuna matata and just commit to be rained on. Especially in the parks, every ride is basically no wait
Quite the cliffhanger, who knows if the luggage ever arrived?
Jimmy McGowan hahaha it made it...at about 12:15am 😅
@@JourneyTogetherToday We r Using Magical Express for FIRST time in Fall 2020. We will bring our Dress Clothes for California Grill or Narcooses for Arrival Day Dinner. Hopefully we will get an Early Flight with No Delays from New Orleans
@@JourneyTogetherToday What company did u use for Scooter??? We r looking for one for my Mom for POP 2021
The scooter part had me cracking up 😂
Mel Foch hahaha 🤣🤣
I went to WDW last November with some older family members and we got them scooters. They were fantastic and made the parks a lot more fun for them and us. You are better off getting the scooters from off property which is what it looks like you got for your Dad. They were cheaper and better quality than the Disney version which one family member chose to rent because you can get them once you arrive at the park and not have to take them on the buses. The off property company also delivered them to POP Century just like for your Dad and picked them back up when our trip was over. We were able to charge our scooter outside the room. I'll never go to the Disney parks again without renting scooters for elderly family members who have mobility issues.
A delay at Disney is better then not going at all! Way to stay so positive! That's how you truly have a magical stay there!
Couple of reasons why I loved this video. First I enjoyed the interaction with you and your dad. Second is even in Walt Disney World were they go so far and above what people expect there are some things they can not control. Third I enjoyed how you handled the challenges and as I tell everyone problems in Disney are first world problems. I understand how the luggage issue can be serious. I have night time meds I need to take but still goes to show that lemonade from lemons still applies in Disney! Thanks Michael and Mr. Kay I hope you have a wonderful trip.
You and your Dad handled the series of delays and missing luggage so gracefully! Travel is full of that kind of thing, but not everybody is quite as philosophical about the disappointments and breakdowns. I love the Mickey refillable mug! I'm looking forward to the next part!
Your dad is such a good sport! God bless him. And you are a wonderful son and extraordinary person, God bless you too! The key word is delayed not cancelled! So hip hip hurray Disney!!
Grrrrrrr! I would be livid except for the fact that a bad day at Disney is still better than a good day at work. It seems nothing gets your dad down, that's nice to see. Thanks for sharing the trip report.
There’s something about the way Disney in Florida sounds at night , soooo soothing love that sound 😍
Couldn't help but chuckle at the scooter parking...I think most people park theirs outside the door...and even use outlets outside near the room. So cute!
I can see where you get your positivity. Your dad is great! That looked like an exhausting travel day
He is amazing
Delayed luggage reminds me of this: My Mom and her Sister took a 'girls vacation' to WDW to stay at the Poly.
Delta lost their luggage. So they get to the poly and with no luggage and had reservations for the Luau.
This was early/mid 70's and both them were children of the depression so that didn't stop them. They went to front desk and asked for some safety pins and bandaids (they had no strapless bras).
Then back to the room and fashioned "moo moos" out of the flora print bed sheets. Then back to the front desk and the staff provided them with some flowers cut from front desk flora arrangements for their hair. And they got applause from all the staff when they saw them in their 'bed sheet' moo moos.
You are such a good son. As we get older, it is our job to help our parents. Glad your dad got a scooter, he will have a much better time without all that walking. The parks are fun but so exhausting!
The greatest travel day ever! Your dad is so precious! 💙 father and son time priceless!
Rough start FOR CERTAIN but I appreciate the continued positive attitudes ANYWAY!! Loved it :) and still had fun! The world could use more of that
Wow that a long travel day. Michael, I am so impressed how you always stay positive and look on the bright side. You truly have the Disney spirit
All of that is part of your ADVENTURE!!!! You will always remember this time!! "Hey dad remember the time we went to Disney and our flight got delayed 3 hours and our luggage didnt show up till 12 midnight!!!
Russell McDonald so true!!
Now i know where you get your awesome manners, always so respectful and polite and where you get your positive attitude! It's from your dad 😊 Love your vlogs, i am always excited to watch them, i can't wait to come home at night and watch that's how important your youtube channel is!
Michael ~ you and your Dad are so cute traveling together... So patience in waiting for your flights; so glad they allowed you to get off the plane and wait in the terminal. Hate just sitting on the plane and waiting... Getting drinks and snacks is a good idea. Bonding is important; glad you have a side-kick with you Michael... Always SMILES...... Great scooter video ~ so funny. Your Dad's facial expression are precious... Thanks for the tour of PopCentury. Another awesome video... Keep them coming.
I LOVE your positive attitude when things weren't going to plan, wish I could be more like you guys lol, seeing the excitement and huge smile on your dads face during this video has really made my day :) Have an amazing time guys
Oh, gosh, what a trying day you had! I love that you and your dad are so chill. I would have been tearing my hair out!
You are blessed to enjoy time with your father,.......I miss my dad so much,enjoy your trip and the memories.........
Great job keeping your cool and laughing when a lot of people would be melting down. I can’t wait to see you and your dad’s park days!
I’ve been watching for this video! My daughter and I was waiting on your plane, leaving Orlando after our very first Disney Dream Cruise. We left the cruise ship early to give us plenty of time to make our early afternoon flight to end up sitting in the airport over 10 hours!! It was a nightmare. It was cool to see you coming off the plane videoing and having your dad there with you. Thanks for putting a smile on my face after a very long and frustrating day.
Would not expect that a video of people waiting on a flight delay could be interesting, but you and your dad certainly made it just that. You do a great job with storytelling and video editing. I will certainly think of this the next time I take a flight.
Had to pause at the 2:00 min mark
2 things; 1: love your "it'll be there when we get there". More people need that attitude. 2: I am a scooter person as well and I believe you are going to address my big question I have for our next trip; where/how do park my scooter in the new rooms?
Ok..back to the video..❤ing it
Omg! You should of ubered! Lol!! You patience amazed me!! Great attitude from you both!! Loved watching you and your Dad....melts a heart!❤️
Wow! Your dad was a trooper. You guys made the best of the situation. I always think when on vacation anything can happen, It's all an adventure! Let the good times roll!
What an incredibly special trip! I just got back from a mother daughter trip to Disney F&G Festival, magical memories made!
It's been 3 years since I have been to the parks and it hurts to be away for so long! It's tough getting there from Australia!
But thank you for your vlogs! Helps me to have a piece of the magic on the other side of the world.
I love your dad so much! 😂 he never gets down about anything! I can't wait to see the rest of the trip!
So hard to stay positive when things go wrong, but somehow you always manage to keep a smile and maintain the magic. Love it
So glad to see you and your dad together on your F & G adventure. Yes I have to agree safety first, but it sure does make it hard to wait when you really want to be in the middle of the magic. I had to use a scooter for my husband last year and found a lot of challenges for scooters. I hope you found the map for mobility while at the parks. It helps to look at it the night prior to plan your day. Oh and I loved your parking the scooter in the room- what a hoot!
It definitely was an interesting first day! Patience, patience and an extra set of clothing in your carry-on for times like this.
A delay is frustrating because you just want to be there so bad but you and your dad handled it like champs. Managing a Disney visit with mobility issues is eye opening. Last year my daughter had to use a wheelchair because of a leg injury at Disney and it sure puts a new spin on your vacation
So excited to see the first video of your trip with your dad so soon! Can’t wait to see the rest ! ❤️
Hoorah! You and your Dad got there safely and were able to enjoy the trip, in spite of all the unexpected/annoying delays. It's beautiful how you both kept your cool and took it in stride. Glad you had time with your Dad. What a treasure! Stay in the Magic!
Oh Michael! You were so much more patient with those delays than I’d have been. Good for you!
Day one! Woo! Here we go!
Definitely several challenges thrown your way, but you handled it beautifully! Very classy!
Your dad is precious🥰 Love seeing the bond and Love of Disney. I hope my son and I continue our adventures for Life like you 2💙
So sorry you guys had to wait but you're a fun team to watch and I wish you the most magical vacation
You are so upbeat!! You definitely make lemonade out of lemons!!😂🍋
I love seeing videos with your dad. He's so precious.
Glad you made it! It does happen. My husband's flight was delayed 5hours back in March from BWI to MCO. He even had to get off the plane and go to a different terminal. He was lucky because it was the last flight out, but he didn't get to the resort until 2am. Always, safety first!
We had a 6 hour delay coming back from Disneyland once. I keep thinking we could have spent more time in park. But things happen out of your control. It's all how you handle it. You did great!
Bwah ha ha ha "beam me up Scotty" - LOVE it! You guys are too cute together in your adventures. thanks so much for sharing!!
Thanks so much for being a part of the magic with me
Michael I am so impressed with your positivity in this video. I can't imagine it was easy to deal with all the delays and long lines for Magical Express...and then waiting for luggage! I hope you didn't have to wait much longer after the end of the video for your luggage to arrive. Looking forward to seeing the rest of the adventure!
Yes! Finally! 😂😂❤️❤️ the wait is over! The moment i got the notification, I clicked so fast😂
Haha! Thank you!!
Me too!
🏰A Delayed Day at Disney is Better than No Disney!!!🏰
😂The "Scooter" room parking part was Great 😂
🙌 Positivity Through All the Adversity was Absolutely Inspiring 🙌🙌🙌
🏰 Have A Magical Day 🏰
#wavesofdisney
I was feeling sorry for myself that I’m always traveling when you’re here. But I think it’s just that I’m always traveling. (Comment written from the airport!😂) So happy I have your videos this week to remind me of home.
Sorry to hear that you weren’t able to get to the parks the first day (and didn’t get your luggage before dad fell asleep) but at least you were able to look on the bright side of things. You made it to the magic and can get up early to get to the parks at opening. Look forward to seeing more of the fun you are having with your dad!
I'm looking forward to tomorrow's vlog. Thank you Michael! Love seeing your dad too.
Hi michael, dad is nice and relaxed and taking a nap while you stress out about the delay, lol. I don't enjoy waiting. I'm glad that you are ejoying time with dad before he can't travel as much. Very good son, God bless you both and your family.
Your dad is so adorable. For such a long day, he really kept up well. I would have been drained (and grouchy) by the time I got to the resort but he kept going and always had a smile on his face.
I love your videos and positivity and I can’t wait to see all of your adventures with your dad!
Michael you and your Dad have the best attitude!!
I would love to be half as positive as your family. Your attitudes give hope and love to the world. Thank you.
I absolutely love your enthusiasm , both you and your dad ooze it ! I strive to be as positive as you especially after all the delays you had . Hope you have the best time and make amazing memories with your dad x
Your dad is just the cutest 😊😊
You and your Dad made a video about 2 men stuck on a plane all day, enjoyable! :D Looking forward to more!
Micheal what a way to start your adventure!! With the flight delay yay you made to Orlando !
Absolutely loved this 'tube! Dad looks great and your trip delays didn't get y'all down! We also loved the scooter delima! Now for the next installment......❤❤❤❤🧐
Good spirits throughout the long travel day! That is the Disney Spirit ❤️👍👏🏻
Yes. Your father is the cutest. Love your trips together. 😀
I had a similar start to my last trip (as far as waiting) once we landed and went to go pick up our rental (first and last time renting a car) we waited close to 3 hours in the budget line! Also, friendly tip. There are outlets right outside your resort room! That’s were my mom plugs hers in every night during our stays. This way it’s not in the way in the room. Just bring the key inside with you. 😊
Wow Michael you handled those deltas with ease. The same thing happened during my first trip to WDW, but at the end of my trip. Great video with your dad and can't wait to see the rest of the trip.
Another great adventure with your dad! Hopefully Disney will see the scooter issue and take that into account next time they do a room remodel! When we evacuated to Art of Animation for Hurricane Irma, we had a family member with a scooter. Luckily, we were in one of the family suites, so we had a little extra room. Can't wait to watch the rest of your F&G vlogs! Happy Monday from the Mouse Streeters!
Mouse Street TV thanks so much!
@@JourneyTogetherToday You're Welcome Michael! Have a wonderful afternoon!
michael enjoy your dad son vacation. im jealous. that is awesome that you can spend that time with your dad. its priceless and you must get your patience from him. be there on june 3rd we are excited. god bless hope you all have a blast
We had a scooter our entire 1st trip to WDW. My dream come true. Anyway my daughter was unable to walk. So we rented a scooter from an outside company. I will say we did not have a parking issue in our room because we stayed in the one bedroom garden suite at the Contemporary. 💕 Michael Kay you must treat yourself it was so nice. The entire room overlooked the lake. I do think for us that we had a great experience with the scooter especially getting on and off the Monorail and buses.
Love how you guys remain positive and have a good laugh, even when things don't go as planned. Can't wait to see the rest of your adventure!
That was really a bad storm in Florida that day. Glad you and your Dad made safely in Orlando. I admire your patience..!!!
Your dad is a trooper! Can definately see where you get your great personality and positive outlook!
Aw Michael your so lovely! And your Dad it's all just too cute! You were so good natured about the delays etc! Can't wait to watch all your vlogs for this trip! Xx
LOL I was actually anxious watching this until the 7 minute mark...off we gooo!
Gotta love the positivity! When they said you were boarding finally thought you were gonna run people over to get to the plane! Can’t wait till day 2 of your adventure only 23 hours and 40 minutes !
I’ve been so waiting for trip vlogs!!!! Makes Monday awesome. The scooter parking made me cry I laughed so hard, especially when you got it to fit, the turned right back around and left with it to explore pop.
Hahaha yup 🤣🤣
Yay! I’ve been so excited for your trip with your Dad! I am so happy you had so much fun. Thank you both, for bringing so much Magic to our day ❤️
It was so much fun!
Yay! It's VLOG day! What a wonderful Father/Son trip. Such great memories. Your dad is a delight!
In the words of your father..."FANTASTIC!"
You handled just sitting on the plane very well, I would have went insane (I don't do well sitting still, especially in a small space like a plane). You had me cracking up over trying to get the scooter situated in the room. So glad you filmed it, very entertaining...LOL
So sorry you had a delay going to WDW. That has to be tough considering all your anticipation to get there. I’m in California so I go to DL a lot. As far as the scooter, the resorts I’ve stayed at have a outlets in the hallways. Plus the scooter outside your room and charge it there. I’ve even charged my scooter in front of other rooms due to limited outlets. It was fine. I’ve also plugged my scooter in the park while I was in a restaurant. Make sure you carry your plug in case anything happens. You’re maneuvering of the scooter was very entertaining!
A long journey day. Glad you both made it safe and had those Starbucks cards to get you through the day 😁
We are here also for flower and garden. We just missed you on your last Galveston cruise. Hope to run into your and your dad.
Your dad is the cutest!!!
Your Dad is so sweet! Just so happy and go with the flow. Love seeing him in your videos!
Oh man! I feel your pain! On our last trip, our flight was supposed to take off at 8am....we were delayed until 6:18pm!! (mechanical issues) We were past security so they would not let us leave the airport. Same as you, had to keep reminding myself that a delayed Disney is better than no Disney at all. So glad you made it there safely, the main thing! Love watching trip vlogs with your Dad, it's great that you guys can travel together.
YESSS i've been so busy this morning and FINALLY have time to watch this- been waiting all week!! thank you so much for sharing the magic, and despite the stressers, hope you guys had a blast!!
I love watching your adventures ❤️❤️❤️
Wow! That was a trying travel 🧳 day! BUT you & dad kept smiling from ear to ear. 😊
The scooter parking in the room was epic😂🤣😂🤣
I will be staying at Pop Century for the third time this October. I like it better than the All Star resorts. It can be quite at times and love they updated the rooms. Was one of the first to stay in an updated room by request in 2017. Glad they are all done. Will be joined later on by my sister and brother on law (staying at a different resort) later on during the magical adventure. I cant wait.
With any mobility vehicle think of using a special assistance rooms as they offer more room for the chair or scooter. While I was typing I saw your comment about doing another video about this. The special assistance rooms worked for me
Sooo love you and your Dad's attitude to minor delays, scooter parking, etc. So nice to see your laughter over little things :) I know y'all had a great time!
Jacqueline Hughes sure did!! 😊🤣
Lol - I feel your pain ! Our trip last summer, we were on a later flight out and they pushed that thing so many times we didn't get to our rental house until 12:30 AM. You haven't lived until you've been shopping for supplies at the Walmart on 192 at 2 AM. Wow.
It’s fun watching you trying to keep up with your dad for a change! Maybe you should give him the camera 🎥🤣
Dad is adorable!
Good thing you weren't catching a ship , Years ago I use to book my flights early in the morning and then board the ship later that day. Once I went to visit a friend my flight was delayed by 6 hours, it suddenly dawned on me what if i were catching a ship I would have missed it. Learned my lesson. After that I would always fly in the day before, but now I live in Florida so this August for the first time will be driving to port. So enjoy your videos! We were in Ebcot Tuesday afternoon for the Richard Marx concert, I tryed to keep my eye out to see if I saw you I wanted to say hi, but never saw you. maybe next time.
