Can’t say it was my kind of food at all, never have likes plane food though!

Macy’s holiday parade! Have seen Mardi Gras in previous years though it’s usually early on in the year feb/march time off my head. Mardi Gras is the better one in my opinion! More fun. Slightly sarcastic smile on my face watching the Macy’s one, and if you don’t make it over the road before it’s starts you have to stand and wait while it’s finished 🤣

Me too! Easily our favourite parade, always preferred it to even the daytime parades over the years. Gutted it will never be returning, I don’t see Magic Kingdom ever getting another night parade tbh it’s just too busy now

They did! We saw it on the 90s too and I remember the old faces. We always hoped they would bring it back but obvs that will never happen, much preferred it to the MainStreet Electrical Parade -Danielle

@@DisneyDink i wish disney would bring this back but with spectromen as real robots this time instead of people in robot costumes and do you have photos?

We actually have a video from very early 90s of Spectro and the old faces! Maybe something like that will be coming in the future, who knows!

Defo! There’s a lot I miss about the “old” Disney parks, little things like that make a big difference x

No probs at all, glad you’re still enjoying the videos! Yes, it’s in Davenport 🙂 I wish I did 😂 we just like the style of houses on Calabay Parc and its location. We have stopped on other estates before too but CP is our fav 😄

Thank you 😄 we did! Already want to go back lol. Will be giving some of your vlogs a watch 🙂 a cruise is defo something we want to do in the future! - Danielle

@@DisneyDink ah the Disney blues are real, only way to solve that is to re book 😬😁. I can’t recommend a Disney cruise enough, I’m hooked, go for it 😁. Thank you, I hope you enjoy them, any question let me know, I’ll try and help if I can 👍🙌

Thank you for the lovely comment! Hope you enjoy them. How exciting, not long to go! Have a fabulous time!! Wish we were going back already 🤣 - Danielle x

No, it was lovely 😄

A little different to previous ones right?! But would go with them again 🙂 should of been up on Friday or Saturday but my internet waved a little white flag at me 🤣

Hi, yes we finally got back! It's defo changed but we still really enjoyed it. Thanks for leaving a comment and I hope you enjoy the series 😄 its has been slightly delayed due to a family emergency last week but I am on with editing so hopefully it will be up soon. All the best - Danielle x

Thank you 😁! Any plans for you guys in the future?? hope you all had a lovely Christmas and new year anyway. Hoping to get travel day done soon but actually had to travel up to Aberdeen on some family business this week for several days so I'm a bit behind... plus need to make sure its right, I think everyone loves a travel day so I feel like its the one that must be correct in every way lol! also feeling the pressure a bit now as I seem to have gotten a few more subscribers after I put pre-travel day up so I defo feel like the pressure is on now 😂😂 😂 hope you guys enjoy it when I do anyway, nice to hear from you 😁

Aw thanks so much! I will be getting travel day up as soon as I can and obviously more to follow :) I hope you get to go again some time in the future! We travelled with a different airline this time, and flew in economy (normal we obviously do premium). It saved money in that we didn't have to travel down to London, even though flights are cheaper from there and on the flight itself and it was also easier for my sister and her boyfriend on this occasion as their family has expanded by 2 (they now have a 2 and 3 year old). The prices for Disney park tickets were a significant increase on this holiday, and the price of a villa was almost double what we used to pay, but understandably the costs for everything over there have also increased so we expected the villa to be more. We didnt find the supermarkets much different, although they are expensive it wasn't much different to 2019, and the same fore the majority of other things like park food and eating out were all very much the same as 2019. Car hire was a bit more expensive this time too. We did LOTS of shopping around trying save money where we could and its a shame prices have increased so much... we are very lucky that my parents actually pay for the majority of it or we wouldn't of been able to go back either. All the best - Danielle x

@@DisneyDink Hello Danielle, Thank you for your detailed reply. The last time we were in Florida was in 2019 and we certainly won't be able to vacation there again before 2026. Until then, we have financial obligations that will not allow us to go on holiday there, especially not with the new prices. We went there almost every year from 1988 to 2019. That's why we miss it a lot now and always look forward to your films. It's great if your parents contribute to the costs, maybe you can borrow them (I was joking). But I think it's great when parents and children have the same interests when it comes to vacation. That's exactly what we like about your films. Enjoy this. It should go on for a long time, but at some point it will be over and you won't be able to get a second back. My mother was in Florida with us in 1992 (we gave it to her as a gift for all the help in our small business). Both parents were there again in 1993. Unfortunately my father passed away in 2010 and my mother in 2018 and I am very happy to have so many films from these holidays. We look forward to more films, stay healthy and say hello to your parents regards from Germany Dorothy and Manfred

Aw that’s lovely, and thanks so much for following along with us! Hopefully you will enjoy the new content too 😊 all the best, Danielle x

Hello friends, Lovely to hear from you. Sorry for my lack of videos, it’s nice to know people want to see them though. Just had a crazy busy few months with various things. We are actually heading back to Florida in 2 weeks time so there will be defo be more vlogs to come 😁 I’ve also recently started getting our older 90s videos pulled off the camera so I can get some more of that up too all being well! I hope you you are both well! And thanks for reaching out 🙂 Danielle x

Thanks for your answer. Then we wish you a nice vacation in our second home in Florida. We are already looking forward to the videos. On our channel you will also find a few old videos from the 1990s. Stay healthy and all the best. We stay in touch. your friends from Germany Dorothy and Manfred

Thank you! We had a great time, something a little different but I wanted to vlog our trip anyway 😊 xx

I know I'm not DisneyDink.. but as someone who has flown out of T5 & T3 at Heathrow. I can personally say it's probably one of the best airports in the UK to fly from, so easy to navigate despite the size of each terminal etc.

Hey, appreciate the watch! I wasn’t sure wether to put up or not but yeah, we managed to record a bit on our time off so I have more to come! It was actually fairly straight forward at Heathrow, we would fly from there again. Just not as much time for relaxing/ shopping beforehand if anything as the travel to get to the gates is longer than Manchester etc we thought but it was well organised… not sure about the whole check your own bag in thing like 🤔 lol the monorail works well as transport between the gates too!

​@@DisneyDink It's been worth a watch definitely. It was your first holiday just the 2 of you? I've always fancied flying from Heathrow as it has so many more holiday destinations to choose from. Maybe one day.

​@@Gaaaaav Hope to travel out of Heathrow one day. Thanks for the info.

Sorry for late reply!! Yeah first holiday just the 2 of us, I actually went to do an internship and we made a holiday of it too. I’m almost done with next instalment, which will be our first weekend off to go exploring. Lots of going up and down escalators at Heathrow I noticed watching the video back 😂 was cool seeing the planes on final approach for landing as we flew over them too, just one after the other! Hope all is good 🙂

Hi, I haven't been back since the pandemic yet but there's defo a few things that I can imagine have changed it, not for the better. Was it all the genie plus etc? the park reservation system is something I'm not looking forward to when we go again, and some of the new shows. Hoping to go back soon. For all I don't like the sound of a lot of the changes at some of the parks, I can't help but want to go back as soon as we can. Im glad we have so many pre-pandemic memories, and others too, they really are the best times - Danielle

@@DisneyDink we did genie plus only once it didn't work out as you spend all of your time on the phone we were able to get a DAS pass which was excellent for Disney not so for universal (park is so popular since velociraptor)and having been in it I understand why the wife and I are back in may for 7days to take advantage of annual pass I really miss the 747s hope you get back soon .nigel

I can imagine, people are on their phones enough without encouraging it even more. As much as I’d like to see fast passes plus return, they make too much money off the genie plus system so don’t ever see them stopping it now which is a shame. Ah great, we’ve done the DAS pass when it was the old system obviously so would be interesting next time we go. We never tried it at universal to be honest, as it’s Joe, my other half, who uses it he actually can’t ride alot of the rides in universal anyway as they are much more restraining on legs so I guess we never bothered to check them. May will be round soon enough 😄 I wish I was going. I think we are planning to book for the end of the year 🤞 we miss the 747s too. We use to head over to Manchester frequently to watch them, it’s not been the same since they went out of service so we don’t go over as often now - Danielle

Oh yes the car 😂 it’s been around so many years we all come across it at some point on holiday 😂

Hello, I’m glad you enjoyed it, I am in the process of doing the next one which will hopefully be out soon. All the best love Danielle x

Hi, amazing you are going next month! We haven’t been in October for years so haven’t done a Halloween party but I enjoy watching them on YT. How long are you going for? Aw thanks so much, I appreciate it! I’ll defo check out your channel too… thank you, and you 😊 - Danielle x

@@DisneyDink 3 weeks, some Disney and a cruise on the wish. It’s been 5 years since our last visit.

@@earsandideas7266 sounds fab! Im sure you'll have an amazing time!what day are you going? I bet you are so excited. We've never done a cruise but its on the list one day!

@@DisneyDink We are doing the 2nd Oct. The first time we ever did it, we were there on the 31st which was great.

I have started to enjoy the space Center more over the years, as they’ve added the Atlantis exhibit etc and we’ve done some of the different tours… the VAB tour was probably my favourite to appreciate the size of the building! My dad and Joe my other half, also love space in general too, they are pretty obsessed lol

Absolutely! Thanks for watching 😄

Thank you 😄 yep, you need some tunnel footage to add to it when you go lol

I thought it was apt, I don’t even think it was deliberate, we just had it on the playlist lol great film though, never get tired of it! Hope you are all keeping well 😃

@@DisneyDink Brilliant. Yeah we are doing great . enjoying the good weather we are getting 😁 hope you's are keeping well 😊

@@ross7050 Lol I’m not sure what my opinion on the weather is, I think I prefer it when I’m in Florida though rather than over here 🤣 and it’s been too hot to ride my horse so I was glad when it cooled off lol we are good thank you, busy as always! I will have some more vintage content going up next 😊

@@DisneyDink I hear that lol. It was our one year anniversary, and we went to Glasgow and it felt like being abroad 😂. Yeah I feel it for the elderly and pets.. it was far to hot for them. Sounds great looking forward to it, thanks 😊

Hello, apologies for my late replies, I’ve had a lot on the past few weeks but hopefully getting back in to RU-vid again now ☺️ hope you are both well! Danielle x

Hi it’s called “the airport pub” they have a FB page and website. It was about a 20-25 min walk from the Radisson blu 🙂

@@DisneyDink cheers thank you staying there next sept

No probs, hope you enjoy it 🙂 it’s a nice hotel and we usually visit the airport pub on weekends so that’s why we went there rather than eat in the hotel. It’s recently been refurbed too but I haven’t been since it re opened 👍

@@DisneyDink aww great i may travel up the weekend tbh have a mooch bite to eat etc

Sounds good, you’ll have to let me know how it is 😄 - Danielle

I absolutely agree 😄 the tyre rides at AK and Busch Gardens are fun but they just don't have the theming Popeye's does! Hope you and your family are well ☺️

@@DisneyDink One day I will get t visit the Gardens. But yeah they have such great theming. We are doing really good 😁 We finally got away on holiday at start of May 2 weeks in Turkey all inclusive at Tui BlueTropical. It was such a relaxing holiday ,We definitely needed it over the active on the go Florida holiday. But now I crave Florida and rollercoaster soo much haha. I better get saving 🤣. Hope you are all doing good also. P.s have you's booked up 😜 ?

@@ross7050 look forward to seeing how you enjoy it the day you get to go 😄 glad you guys had a good time, Florida is exhausting as holidays go lol but everyone needs to have a relaxing holiday too! How were the airports for you guys? Hope it was all smooth! You and me both 😂 bank account says no, but we want to go haha we are all good thank you! Not booked, but certainly getting closer to pushing that button 😂 we've actually sent off for villa and car hire quotes now for the dates we are looking at. Car hire is gradually getting better, prices were just insane for ages...its actually flights that are most expensive at the moment so I think we are looking at in-direct (which we use to do back in the day). Manchester is really expensive so looking at travelling down to LHR cause they are cheaper and have more in-direct options too. Obviously done Gatwick a couple of times, and got diverted to LHR 😂 but have never gone from there which would be something different anyway 😊 I will announce on my instagram when/if we do 🤞but if your not on there I'll defo drop you a comment 😄

@@DisneyDink Thank you 😊, We flew from Glasgow Airport, So the airport for us was quick, easy and stress free. We saw on the news all the chaos from Manchester and other airports around the UK.. It looked horrific 😥. The whole prep-work for booking Florida is always exciting ..But in these expensive and uncertain times, it might be a little stressful too i guess. I do hope yous find a good deal and manage to get booked😁😁 . And hey! going indirect is just another adventure before the holiday haha. Yeah not on Instagram. Facebook and RU-vid are about my limit for social media.. showing my age 😂 Staying Tuned 😁

Ah glad you guys didn’t have to deal with all that, hope it all settles down soon 😩 I forgot to say on the tyre rides, infinity falls is up there for fun too, popeyes still no1 though lol! We love the prep too, it’s a good lead up to booking but yeah it’s been more stressful with trying to find decent prices at the same time. My dad usually does the prep but he’s been working stupid hours so me and Joe are in charge 🤪 got a full excel spreadsheet on the go for it all to compare… pennies make pounds and all that 🤣 it is more stressful booking everything individually but hopefully worth it! Haha 😂 are you on the “it’s Orlando time” page on FB? I never post on it but I do enjoy seeing everyone’s pics etc You’ll be one of the first to know 😁

Hi, we actually walked it, it wasn’t that far to be honest. We also decided it would be better having a walk after eating a big meal lol - Danielle

Hi, yep that is me lol my sister wasn’t born until the following year. Ah you went so close to us 😄 x

Hello, of course I remember you guys 😄 I hope you are doing well. I know the prices increases are effecting a lot of people but I’ll keep my fingers crossed for 2023 for you! Really appreciate that you look forward to my videos. I’m a little behind at the moment but I’m on with editing again now. Of course, I’ll go subscribe so I can take a look at them! All the best Danielle x

I will have a look, we have so many tapes I need to go through and start pulling footage off from 1991 and almost every year after that. I don’t think I have SE specifically from 1991 or COP though I’m afraid

Couldn’t agree more 🙂 your very welcome, thanks for checking it out! Lots more blasts from the past to come yet!

Hey! Apologies for the delay in uploads, we have had a lot going on with one thing and another family wise, but I did start editing again this week! The next one should be up before the weekend (its more an atmospheric one though than talking) but I'm editing the one after that too ready to get it up so I don't fall behind once I put the next one out. I don't like to just chuck them together either. Thanks for dropping the message (it has actually really helped motivate me this week to crack on!).I also have a bit more free time coming up to get ahead with it all! Hope you and the family are all well 😄

@@DisneyDink Oh no need to apologise 🙂, Sorry to hear you've had a lot going on, but sounds good!. I'm glad I messaged now 😃. Thank you for asking. We are doing ok but Florida is definitely not happening for us this year just due to the shear cost and timescale to save. So we've transferred the holidays to 2 week away in Turkey all inclusive for the same date, 5th of May this year.. cannot wait 😁.

Thank you! Yep, I defo appreciate messages they help a lot 😄 aw no that’s a shame, the increase in prices not only at Disney but the cost of living is insane at the moment! I’m glad your getting a break away though 😄 it’s not far away either, I hope you all enjoy it!!

@@DisneyDink Anytime friend 🙂. yeah its a tough time to be alive with everything going on in the world. Thank you, yeah we cannot wait to be back on a plane heading for warmer climates! 😁

Thanks for watching!

@@DisneyDink Thanks, i want to talk about your youtube channel promotion. if you are interested then we can talk more details. let me know
