We bought our villa on a resort on Poncianna Blvd which is off the 192 and also use the Oceola Parkway to get to Disney. We have timed ourselves and it has taken 9 to 15 mins depending on:on whether you get stopped on red traffic light- Our resort has 24 hr security and a clubhouse and resort pool with a bar selling food and drinks. We haven’t personally used the pool as we have one at the villa but our kids used to go there as teenagers. We always hire a car as like to go to other places outside the parks. We have been at our villa during a hurricane and you do get warning of it coming so you can stock up with food and drink etc. it was a bit noisy on the day but it’s soon over and the next day the parks were open. We keep candles at the villa incase the power goes out.
We always take a packed lunch anyway so if you dont like the food at least you have something to eat if not its yoyr tea as you may not want the hassle of buying a supper as you land
Have a fantastic time! We did three weeks in Orlando in May and had the best time ever. Looking forward to the vlogs when you get back. Can I ask where you got those two pictures from behind you? I love them!
Sounds a great trip, woodys lunch box food is lovely, just difficult to get a seat! We were not fussed on doing Fantasmic again. Your taste sounds very similar to ours, have a great time.
I hope you have an amazing time and I think we’ll miss you again as we don’t fly until 18th and will be spending our first 4 nights at universal before 14 nights at Disney. First time on property this year 😊. We did Fords Garage last year, the food is amazing and you must use the loos as they are also kitted out and look fabulous. Like you we have a list of firsts for this trip xx
We usually go to Cocoa beach and like the bar at the end of the pier - check to see if there is a rocket going on the day you go. Trader Sam’s outside terrace is great but it’s hard to get into the little one but fun
We go to see bands outside the House of Blues every time we go as cheap evening with free parking in the Orange car park - we also love live music so The Tin Roof in Ipark one of our fav places
Very much looking forward to this next series. Won’t be going there until late next year I think. I agree with the budget quick serves at all stars etc - we have also eaten there and it was great. X
Sounds like an amazing trip, I look forward to watching the vlogs. Hope Lisa’s mum is happy with her WDW room ! Just a heads up re Portofino - they are currently doing some extensive renovations to the facade of the hotel, apparently it’s all very loud and busy, most of the hotel is covered and not much of the nice atmosphere left to enjoy. Not sure what the current state is but thought it was worth mentioning it before you go there. Have a great time x
You can see the drone show Disney Dreams That Soar from the House of Blues but it's only on until about the 2nd September - do catch it if you can. (If not, viewing is from the hot air balloon to Cirque Du Soleil) Not much seating at Woody's lunchbox and it was hotter than the surface of the sun last week but hopefully you can find a spot 😊
The water walk through at Moana was much shorter than I thought it would be but still lovely. Tiana's was better than expected, as was the Frozen singalong - watch the narrators rather than the film and words! (We got back last week). Pinnoccios upstairs was packed last week so definitely go early. My daughter played the Beast in the Enchanted Tales of Belle - it was lovely and ideal for kids who want to be involved. Hope you have a wonderful trip!
Hi Both , have a fantastic holiday. We have been to Ford Garage near Margarittaville a few times, and it does have great burgers . Just be aware that they have adopted the new Tip process of adding it to the bill automatically, which is not a problem but obviously if you are there with a big group it's something to be on top of . Again have a fantastic time
Sorry- one more comment. Looks like there is a SpaceX launch at Cape Canaveral at 3:38am on Aug 30 and a Nasa launch on Sept 24. Rocket launches are amazing to see. It would be tiring... but you could do the launch, spend a half day at Cocoa Beach and then end at Kennedy Space Center. I think you can see it in a half day. Cocoa Beach is touristy, but it is the closest and most convenient for a day trip. I am not a beach person. There are definitely things to do around there.
Beaches - Caladesi Island and Honeymoon Island both look stunning. Amazing wildlife but a bit remote. Dunedin is close by which looks like a cute town. All just north of Clearwater! Have the best trip😊
We fly on the 9 th and have 4 nights at baylake tower in a one bedroom, 3 nights riviera and then 5 nights at boardwalk ! Loved the riviera when we stayed ! The pool was amazing and bar riva was great ! We love prima piatto ! We’ve got topolino breakfast I can’t wait x enjoy
I am not usually a commenter, but I do follow you on youtube and have learned a lot about junk journals from you, Lisa. You talk about good quick-service food. Just want to give a quick shout out to the Riviera Resort. Primo Piatto has the absolutely best quick-service food on Disney property (especially breakfast). Even worth leaving EPCOT or Hollywood Studios on the gondola at times. Make sure you all check it out! Hope you had a great flight.
Looking forward to your vlogs. Enjoy your trip with the family. I would say St Augustine would be the beach to go to (only saying that because we are planning a move from Texas to St A when our house sells. This is in part due to your vlogs when you were with your dad. Fell in love with it having never visited there). But we have been to Melbourne and the surrounding area beaches along the Space Coast. Very relaxed and not really that touristy. Also under an hour from Orlando. Hope that helps.
At fords we get the brisket burnt ends melt it’s amazing. Clearwater is always the beach we go to love it there. Really interested in more information about the travel agency. Have a fantastic trip.😊
NASA is incredible and I wasn’t fussed about going. So interesting & the iMax film is worth seeing but it is a long drive from memory & tiring. And so many alligators about as it’s also a nature reserve. Boys II Men were very popular when I went to see them at Epcot so I’d recommend going there early as although it’s free they were turning people away for safety reasons .
Sounds like it will be a fantastic holiday! Have you been to Lakeland antique Mall? It is fantastic and has a huge Disney section and such a fun morning out. There is also a kekes breakfast cafe close by which is excellent food!
We are here at the minute our 3rd trip this year and it’s still as magical as ever, you have got to go on tiana it was amazing my favourite ride . Just be warned it is really hot at the moment 95deg today. Have a brilliant time.
Have the best trip EVER! Can’t wait for your vlogs! We have been to the Ford’s Garage in the Indianapolis area and it was delicious! My daughters and I are on our way to WDW for our first girls trip! Can’t wait! P.S. My hubby and I had the tuna sandwiches at Roaring Fork (mine with gluten free bread) on our February trip and they were delicious! 😄
Salisbury does indeed look like a beautiful town. I feel like I might have briefly visited on a coach tour back in 1997. I think we went for a look in the cathedral. Thanks for showing us around.
We have just got home from Orlando. We paid cash at the time as we didnt know about this. The points earned for the 4 flights to Orlando was only just over 1,000. Does that sounds right? We were expecting more lol. Also, did you mean your children have flying club accounts? Whats the advantage to them having an account if they're young enough that theyre not spending money themselves?
To get 2 companion vouchers (for our 2 children) do we need two credit cards? My husband is currently an additional card holder for my credit card and I'm now thinking he needs one of his own?
Hi. This might be a older vlog but I am so enjoying it. I bet I would know the name of Ade's company as I work on a magazine that deals with the power industry. I also now have a vision of Ade on a pole dancing pole, sparkling pink pants 😂😊...thank you again for sharing ✌️🙏
Hello Lisa! I’m a new subscriber, I found you from The Lodge Guys! I’ve been watching your Disney vlogs as I am mad about Disney World, but I’ve really enjoyed watching this vlog! I just wondered if you’ve visited Norwich? I live near Norwich and I think you’d both really like it here :) x
You have so many nice places near you. I’ve never been there but love all those old buildings and the Cathedral is very impressive. Loved that little gift shop with all the Emma Bridgewater pottery in. You must be so excited for your holiday. Eek!
Tonight's programme brought backvso many memories for me. I lived and was married in Wilton just outside Salisbury in the 70s. We're planning to visit next June and I'm really looking forward to it. ❤❤
Hi Lisa, you and Ade seem to find the most interesting towns to visit. I really enjoy tagging along with you. I was a Brownie in Canada as well. As a matter of fact, I think my Brownie uniform is in a trunk in my mom's basement. Enjoy your holiday. See you soon.
