Just watching the latest vlog and picked up on that you mentioned some downsides to the Avanti hotel? 😕. Just wondering if we should be worried as that’s where we are staying when we go in 2 weeks time. Loving the vlogs as always 😎👍👍
@@1TheBrammers won’t panic too much then, fingers crossed our room isn’t to bad. Had seen mixed reviews regarding cleanliness. Tbh as long as we can sleep well and and get around easily we’ll be happy. Not expecting the Ritz lol 😂. Thank for the heads up though 👍
@@Mip12180 hahahaha anytime bud! If your using the shuttle make sure you get a reservation as some bus drivers can be funny if you don’t, they mostly don’t check but better to be safe
@@1TheBrammers thanks for the heads up, setting aside a Uber/lift fund as spotted some of the shuttle issues you mentioned in previous episodes 👍👍. We’ve worked out that we maybe on holiday as this vlog series comes to an end 😞. But you guys have certainly helped and got us excited during our countdown 😎😎👍
14 days - 10/11 days in parks. 1 of those days would be a water park. 3-4 days would only be half days. Others would be morning in park, back to pool for afternoon and then back to a park for the evening. We did have an Air BNB though so had our own pool and cars. Well worth it tbh. The time from 2pm-6pm to relax in the pool or hot tub and refresh before going out at night is vital to keep energy up.
Watched this yesterday and was howling at you guys spraying the water guns on the popeye bridge 😂😂 absolutely creased. Great vid, Only 3 weeks and a few days till we go 😎👍
@@Mip12180 thanks for watching and commenting! Honestly I find it hilarious people are so fuming 😂😂😂 thanks again and 4 weeks for us!! Have a great trip guys!
Maybe see you out there? Shall give ya a wave if we do, as there till October the 9th I think Just let us know when your at islands so we know not to go on the water ride 😂😂😂👍
Hi M&A - so nice to revisit rides you really liked the first time out. Orlando definitely has its share of rain. 🌧️ V-coaster woo hoo! 🎢 It has a great queue too. The lemur character performing in the background while you were eating was from “Madagascar.” You sure get a lot of sinister pleasure out of soaking the riders! 😈 Minions are so adorable, Yardhouse kept you beige. Thanks for another fun vlog guys, we will be in Vegas this next weekend. Cheers!!!😎🍻
@@luvjets we absolutely loved it! It was our first time in the rainstorm and it definitely came down fast! We love soaking the riders is one of my fav things to do!! Yard house was amazing guys! Thanks for watching and enjoy vegas!!!
Really enjoying this series. I go in 11 days and this has been helping me to plan more and get even more excited if that is possible lol. I've only been twice, once in 99 as a kid and we had a 5 day pass, yes that was a thing back then. We did one day park, one day rest for the whole trip. In 2016 on honeymoon we went all out and did a park or waterpark everyday, only had half a day at the pool for a rest over 14 days. This next trip we have 10 nights and pretty much bo rest days planned. We don't go often so we hit it all hard when we do go. I will 100% need a holiday when we get home 😂 I have planned in some sit down meals half way through the day to rest and enjoy the aircon, that will be our rest.
@@beckynightingale8503 exactly the same as us!! Firstly thanks for watching all along! We did too many park days I needed a holiday to get over it! I hope you have the best time ever! Enjoy the Halloween festivities 🥳
Also re:park days. We went 3-4 times when I was young and we’ve been twice with my children. We have always stayed in villas, I don’t drive but luckily the parents do 😅 We tend to do Walmart first day morning, then magic kingdom afternoon. Then after that we kind of do half days. So like a morning into dinner at a park then back and pool and maybe go back out, or a morning pool/other activities then afternoon/evening park. We stopped in Hard Rock hotel at the back of our last holiday for 3 nights as it was my mums birthday. And then we hammered universal. You feel like because you’re there you have too. Think everyone is different. First time I took my own kids they were only 4 and 6 so they needed the rest mid day. Second time we took them they were 7 and 9. So, we could get a bit more done. They were still fucked though. I do think a villa is the way to go.
@@hannahelizabeth06 firstly Thankyou for watching it’s really appreciated 😃 In reply to the above yeah the villas maybe an option we was looking at stopping at a dvc resort but we just got a great deal at the time! I can assure you we loved every single minute of it I think we must just have moody faces😂😂, also we try to give as honest reviews as possible as Disney isn’t cheap so if somethings not great we just want to pass our opinion on Thankyou for your time 😄
So glad I found you. Found your magic kingdom video first and I was dead when people are like ‘you’re not enjoying it’ etc. as a fellow Yorkshireman (Sheff) I was like, no… that’s just Yorkshire folk 😂 Watched the last Vegas series and half way through Mexico. Keep doing the do for us other long pocketed, dulcet Yorkshire ones 😂🎉
"I am sorry about wind!" - that'll be that lamb kebab from Fireaters Grill 😂😂 Side note: my partner's deaf so I turned on captions so he could watch, but they couldn't make out Yorkshire so we were getting complete gobbledegook 😂😂 Thanks for the company again - great vlog! 😊
@@1TheBrammers There’s always next time pal. All-Stars are great, you’ll have an amazing time. We may bump into you at some point, we’re in Orlando for three weeks.
@@tonycoll2000 hahaha no that’s just the Yorkshire in me 😂😂😂😂 would have been rather funny though! I know I know I said I wouldn’t but I kinda love it!!
Hi M&A - Well, Aaleya's animal print definitely fit right in for Animal Kingdom! I agree, coming to the end of holiday is sad and a little depressing. Tusher House - it was able to keep with your beige requirements. 😆 Way cool hanging with the characters and being able to interact with them. We LOVE the safari ride - the animals are fascinating. We noticed that you two do mostly rides and don't go on many tours or see many shows at the parks. That was great timing for the walk-on at Test Track 🏎 Glad you got some good outlet store bargains. Ford Garage - very nice menu selection - food looked good - happy it was good as well. Cheers!!!!😎🍻
@@luvjets thanks for watching you guys! We love to do it all but as our first time we just wanted to explore! That food was amazing and the safari is so unique it was amazing! Tusker house definitely catered to the beige bites hahaha
Loved this vlog guys! Thank you so much for our mention, you know us well with loving Pixar 🥹 getting us excited for Sept / Oct ❤️ Smashing the first Florida series!
Hi M&A - the cheeseburger spring rolls are the bomb!! Matt, did you at least give them a try? Harbour House - you could stay true to "the beige." Very "trei sheik" in your outfits for the day. You are the fashion divas! 😆 Are you going to need a 12 step program for your new pin addiction?!?🤣 Aaleya's special popcorn was "too sticky"?!? REALLY!!?? More for her to enjoy I guess. We've noticed that the "Disney Effect" has hit you while in the parks. There is definitely a new "giddiness" that takes you over when in the parks. We think that is absolutely AWESOME!!!! Lovely fireworks and the castle projection is always a great show. Thanks for bringing us along on your adventure guys. Cheers!!!!😎🍻
Matt - ya rambling's what I tune in for 😂 Love your deadpan humour - northerners rule!! You're a lovely couple - really enjoying the vlogs - looking forward to the next one 😊
@@tonycoll2000 hahaha thanks for watching Tony and its certainly like marmite I can imagine haha Thankyou so much and there’s a few more to come in this series 😄😄
Hi M&A - nice b-fast burritos. Typhoon Lagoon is a crackin' water park! Relax & "CHILL" on the lazy river 😅 Waterfall is payback for the spraying of everyone on the water ride at Universal 🤣 You sure enjoyed the slides - they are a fun adrenaline rush. Typhoon Tilly's accommodated your "beige bites" nicely. Longhorn - everything looked smashing and you could stay "beige." The filets did look ultra tender - very fun day and kicking vlog guys - cheers!!!!😎🍻
I fell asleep in that lazy river. My husband knew I was asleep and nudged me over to the waterfall bit so I woke up with a shock and said a lot of bad words! I looked around after I'd calmed down, my husband was crying with laugher but lots of parents were so annoyed with my language 😂🙈
@@1TheBrammers I can laugh now but at the time I wasn't impressed. Nothing like Disney tired!!! My language really wasn't Disney appropriate either 🫣 let's hope it doesn't happen again when we go back in Sept.
Hi M&A - so, Frozen was worth queuing for it as the first ride/attraction! Living with the Land is the same as it was 30 years ago when we first went to EPCOT. We often get the kid's portion meals as the prices are much better - that's a great tip. So you need to hit it big in Vegas so you can afford the DVC or at Disney's Boardwalk. Glad you found some proper beige bites - Denny's to the rescue! Thanks for another cracking video - cheers mates!!!!😎🍻
@@luvjets thanks for watching as usual you guys! Epcot is such a great park we loved it! I know right we don’t bet high enough to win enough for dvc if only haha Glad you both enjoyed 😄😄
I did HHHN back in 2016 just myself and my husband and for us it was far too busy. The queues for the scare mazes were insane and we only did 2 houses and then the shows. If we ever did it again we would have to really splash the cash and get the express passes. We also did MNSSHP in 2016 and loved it!! Got on so many rides, loads of candy and great shows. We are going back this Sept and doing it again. Fingers crossed we have a good experience!
@@beckynightingale8503 thanks for watching Becky!! Yeah we’ve read it’s so busy so we’ve bit the bullet and bought express passes but we just can’t wait to be out there at Halloween 🎃
@@beckynightingale8503 hahaha we go in the first week of October so im wishing the time away hahaha give us a follow on our Instagram if you havent already we love to post stories as we go thats how we get our fix
Hi M&A - wow, that's amazing theming in the queue at Velosacoster! 🎢 The smile on your faces as you exited the ride says it all! 😁 You sure like spraying people on the water ride - very devilish of you.😈 I love the launch on The Hulk coaster - great ride too. Nice beige bites at Grill & Brew - looks tasty. I love the minions - you should've gotten some selfies with them - Matt would tower over them. I loved your interaction with Doc. We just ate at Outback while in Laughlin, NV and we love their food too - excellent bread & butter, your meal looked excellent. Thanks for another fun vlog - enjoyed coming along with you on your adventure. Cheers guys!!!!😎🍻
@@luvjets thanks for both watching yet again! It’s was a amazing day! The velocicoaster ride is one of my favs for sure! The beige bites was lovely and so too was outback! The theming is truly brilliant! The sprayers are my fav!!!
Can't beat a bit of retail therapy, especially in the outlets. It looked like you had a great time in the waterpark, too. The days in Florida are tiring, especially with the heat ❤
Not done Halloween horror nights mate but done MNSSHP. Theming is great, ride times were fine didn’t have to wait long to get on anything. There’s a few fireworks shows on so if you’re not fussed about one of them the rides are usually walk on. Lots of Halloween snacks, photos ops, trick or treating and decent merch. Defo recommend it.
@@paulsingh1984 hahaha I guess we’re like marmite buddy we’re just very honest and it’s not for everyone some people like everything to be perfect but Disney and Florida isn’t a cheap place so for us a honest opinion is essential for people to know
@@1TheBrammers you’re right, we have to save a lot to go over and we’re lucky that Nicola has got into DVC which is brilliant saving in the long run if you’re going regularly. We’re heading over next month for my 40th but we got a really good deal through Disney direct which was l land and sea package so got 7 nights at all star sports and then a 3 night cruise on the Wish to Castaway Cay. We got a really good price for that. Then when we come back we’re staying at old key west through dvc for a week. Been planning it for years so looking forward to it!
We've gone in October once, the rest of the times in January and October was so much better. We liked both not so scary and horror nights, they're very different but good in their own ways. For horror nights we booked a night at one of the top 3 universal hotels so we didn't have much of a trek back to our hotel as it finished quite late, they're expensive but you get 2 days of free express which in my experience means walk on to nearly every ride in Universal, well worth considering and if you keep searching you can get the price down & decent cashback deals.
@@rsandyb firstly thank you for watching and yes we can’t wait to go back in October having been for the first time in May were itching to get back We have booked Halloween horror nights but staying on site at Disney and we have booked express passes for the night so I can’t wait for it and then hopefully next year we will do mickeys not so scary party
Great vlog guys, we are off there for two weeks last week of September, first week of October doing both mickeys not so scary night and universal Halloween horror nights, can’t wait! Hoping the parks will be quieter for rides that time of year too. Fingers crossed 🤞
@@Mip12180 thanks for watching glad you enjoyed 😄 Everything I’ve read and people that I’ve spoke to to have said the time of year you’re going is perfect so I’m sure you guys will have a great trip. We’re so excited to go back at Halloween and can’t wait for all the theme in the parks
If you can, go in September, the Halloween stuff will all be going on, but September tends to be quieter than October, especially as it gets nearer Halloween October is still a great time to go though - the parks go all out!! Absolutely peeing myself at you trying to cast a spell to get Aaleya to listen to you 😂😂 Have enjoyed your vlogs - great job!
@@tonycoll2000 we’re going back in October so it will be a good test for us as may was relatively quiet I think Hahah yeah it didn’t work unfortunately just have been a faulty wand!! Thanks for watching 😄😄
excellent mate, just subbed, i'm going in september, can you just pay for most things like excursions with a debit card? hopefully the seaweed isn't bad
H M&A - Bummer about the Go Pro issue. Have to be a bit of a tech genius these days dealing with all the electronic devices. Congrats on finding "Beige Bite" meals. The theming at Volcano Bay is pretty decent. The "Lazy River" moved pretty quickly - nice to see that you didn't burn as the sun can sizzle you pretty good. Appreciate the "travel hacks" while you're there. Nice haul at the outlet stores - you got some great deal. Hope you have enough room in the luggage. Loving the videos - cheers mates!!!! 😎🌴🍻💰
@@luvjets thanks for watching K&C yeah was a real bummer but we managed to get a little on the phone! The food was very good even by my plain standards! We grabbed some real bargains to be honest it was amazing all safely made it back home! Thanks for watching again guys 😃
Just found your channel. Really enjoying your vlogs. I go to Vegas 4 times a year for biz. You have been hitting all the great spots. Love Bavettes. Next time you have to go off strip to an iconic LV steakhouse called The Golden Steer. You have to book at least a month in advance. Brilliant steaks and table service in a very mid-century MadMen type spot. My favorite. Also, great Yorkshire accent. Are you planning a return to Vegas this year?
@@PacHeightsTraveller thanks for watching!!! Yeah we try do a little research before we go on where to eat and sightsee golden street is on our radar and has been for some time but as it is with vegas there so much to see and do you just can’t fit it all in! Hahah the accent is like marmite you either like it or don’t I’m afraid so glad you do haha! And not 100% may be a trip late late on in the year depending on circumstances Thank you once again!
You chose a good cabin on Hogwarts Express 😂 was 2 of them asleep. Not one of them cracked a smile or looked remotely interested 😂Your memories like mine, id be lost without Emily
@@roamingnewroutes 2 of them asleep one watching a video hahaha honestly it’s so bad I remember the most random things but not what I need to I’d be lost without aaleya too😂 Ps we’ve seen you without Emily now 😂😂😂
Hi M&A - Happy that Universal could accommodate the "beige bites requirement." Whew, crisis averted! 😆 The buffalo tots were quite an ample portion. We just LOVED seeing the smile on your face when you exited the different coaster rides. Can't wait for your reaction to Velosacoaster - that should be epic! 🎢 You sure got a jolly out of spraying the water ride. The Raptor "meet & greet" photo op looked amazing - it looked quite realistic. Did you pay for one ticket that covered both parks or do they offer individual park tickets and you paid for both? Loving the Rip Ride Rocket ride reaction. Hard Rock Cafe - quite an extensive menu, that they could meet your "beige" needs. The weather seemed to cooperate, hopefully it wasn't too humid that can really zap your energy. Thanks for the comparison with Disney. We noticed they also have the Loungefly back-packs there too, you could spend a bundle on those. Thanks for a great vlog guys, cheers!!!!😎🍻
Thank you both for watching as usual 😄 The food we ate was beautiful all through the park and into city walk We bought a 3 park ticket which includes volcano bay too! The rides were amazing and we do do velocicoaster later on in the trip 👀 Overall a great day and we love universal too! Thank you guys once again 😄
Ive just started watching your vlogs. Loving your trip so far! Its nice to see honest vloggers. Its interesting to hear your views on Universal. Its certainly a lot busier than when i first went back in 2007. As we've attended Florida in recent years, we have unfortunately got a bitter taste for Disney. We much prefer Universal as weve seen Disney change its values. It is nice to hear and see a fresh prospective on the parks. It looks like you had a fab time 😊
Firstly thanks for watching hollie! So glad you’re enjoying! We always keep it as honest as we can as people spend a lot of money coming so it’s good for people to have realistic expectations we think! We loved universal it was just so different to Disney we picked up that there’s a different vibe but it’s equally enjoyable and as it was our first trip it was all so overwhelming haha! We’re back there in October for Halloween horror nights Thank you once again 😄
Honestly respect that so much. Nothing worse than going to a park with high expectations and being disappointed. I much prefer vloggers like yourselves who speak the truth rather than sugar-coating everything. You both did fantastic for your first trip. You definitely did your research! It certainly is very overwhelming. Universal and Disney are different vibes entirely. The magic of main street and being in the Disney bubble is a wonderful feeling. True escapism. We went to HHN last year. Have a fantastic time! Don't forget to buy express because the crowds are unprecedented. Keep up the good work and all the best with growing your channel. I'll follow along on your adventures 😊
@@holliecanterbury7525 your so right it really is like been in a different world it’s kind of surreal for a first timer 😂 . I guess it’s like marmite haha you either like the honesty or not but we could never do it any other way! I’m so excited to go there we have the express passes as we’ve seen and read its chaos! I’m not saying it for the follow but give one of our instagram account a follow as we honestly love interacting with the people that watch! Thank you it really does mean a lot!!😄
