Florida Planning on a budget | Alternative Ticket Options | Let’s talk about Money 💰 

This has to be the best planning vlog I've seen, very helpful tips especially with park tickets, thank you. Can't wait to see your other latest vlogs. Haven't seen all your others so that will give me something to watch this evening. Thank you again for all the planning info xx

Thank you so much for these types of Videos. Really helpful. Enjoy your trip and we can't wait to watch.

Hi loved this vlog , very informative,def agree with you about tickets to gets down had to laugh you budget like I do when we go ,looking forward to your new Florida vlogs enjoy your trip 😎

So glad I found this channel and video as I want to take my family to Florida and this has given me lots of tips and ideas about how to plan and potentially save some money on what is an expensive holiday. Thank you for this and I look forward to watching all your other videos x

ahh this is amazing!! we go in November for 2 weeks with three babies and similar budget so im excited for your videos, can't wait to see more of your days posted x

The vlog is superb. Me and my partner go regularly but for people who are new to Florida....this is brilliant....bravo!!! Love watching you guys.....we fly back this Saturday. So excited.

Thank you for sharing 🙏 really enjoyed listening to how you plan

Can't wit for the next vlog series. Love your vlogs. I think this will be very helpful for lots of people. I too, only book with airlines and get our villa privately. (We use the same villa everytime!). I had never thought of getting a 2 day universal ticket, so thank you for that 😘. I will def look into it for my November 23 trip. We went in April thus year, and as usual only went to Universal twice the whole trip. So looking forward to your trip. X

Have a great Florida vacation .. Big fans of your vlogs in my household as you are similar to my family (kids similar ages etc) Plus you have the same mentality when it comes to organising your holidays and how you budget them 🙂

I agree with your advice on tickets , and we to budget our spends like you , and anything we dont spend goes to next day , we split our money into wkly then , split each wk into daily allowance always works for us 😊👍🏻

Great video, You definitely learn as you go ! We are scheduled for our 5th Florida trip and have booked a lot differently to the first time we went.

I LOVED this video!!! 💗 So many people don't tell anyone any info about costs and it really is the main thing everyone wants to know 😆 You sound like a girl after my own heart, love a budget and my theory is the same as yours, if we have some left over its extra for the day after 🙌🏼 Those groups make me giggle with the figures some people come out with for spends... 🤑🤑 Hope you have a fab trip can't wait to see the series!! Out there for 8 nights on the 21st Sept also doing HHN! So excited!! 😆 (Well aware this was such a long comment 🤣)

Brilliant video and extremely informative. I have been to Orlando on many occasions and can't wait to be able to travel back in May and September 2023. I totally agree that you don't need to spend a fortune on food, refreshments and merchandise. Key is to plan each day, but be flexible as things will change - weather or just too tired! Good advise on tickets - these are getting more expensive every year. It is very difficult to fit EVERY park into one vacation. Next year I'm visiting Discovery Cove in May, with 14 days at other park and also buying a Universal Annual Pass. Then in September, it will be Disney and again being able to use Universal Annual Pass. Cant wait to see your HHN vlog - it will be my 1st visit to HHN in Sept '23!

As a travel Agent also, so glad you mentioned skyscanner. I’m exactly the same so many times the fares they advertise are not valid x

We've just come back after flying from Gatwick to tampa with ba as it was the cheapest. (We flew down from Manchester first). We actually gambled and didn't book seats for us and our 2 teens and luckily got sat together 24 hours before. The plane was packed on the way over but quite empty ok the way back so you may get away with not booking seats on the way back. Have a great trip and look forward to the vlogs.

Also we always book car separately and usually 2-3 weeks before departure date to get the best prices. 👌

We’ve just booked for next year and even I was shocked that our Disney tickets are £1000 for 2 of us and we’re only in Orlando for 1 week. We’re doing a Disney cruise for the second week. We usually go to Orlando twice a year but haven’t been in 3 years due to you know what but we’re so excited to be going back. Fab video as always. Thank you.

Looking forward to the vlogs, we are back in September as you return to Bahama Bay

Can’t wait for the vlog series! Any advice on dining on a budget? Also which vpn do you use for booking Disney day tickets x

Im looking forward to the new travel vlog,you myst be going soon,im off in 3 weeks and cant wait

best tip I've got is to look into Norse Atlantic for their flights from LGW to MCO - they've undercut BA Virgin by far - yes its budget and you have to pay for all extras but even when I added it all in the prices for 4 of us in Premium was only 50GBP more than BA/Virgin's economy offering and 2 grand cheaper for economy - no brainer

I think it’s great you can do Disney on cheaper side, certainly not easy but you prove it can be

When we go back to Florida it will be the first time as I’m in a wheelchair now😟 so Disney & universal are our main go to places, we have done sea world, Kennedy& Busch gardens, so our daughter will be 23 by the time we go so my wife has been saving for just the two of us my daughter and her partner are saving as well. We are planning on staying at a hotel not linked to Disney but very close by we are needing a SUV so we can carry my wheelchair & the four of us in. So lots of saving until 2024! Thanks your vlogs are really good and enjoying your one on the money 💵🦽✈️

Hey 👋 good to see you again! I was thinking of messaging -where are you guys? and then remembered you were going in August. I have a lot of downtime at work so need new videos from the burgesses, I like how down to earth you all are. I watch lots of other channels too like Disney in detail & Adam Hatton but sometimes feel they are too aware of themselves and almost scripted or predictable

It is a good idea to have a budget per day as you can spend spend than realise how much you spend in 1 day enjoyed your bog on Facebook

We are going back to Florida this time, last time was 2019 just before the pandemic. It's our 5th time (3rd for our 7 year old daughter) so we kind of know what to do and expect. We've always gone with Virgin but their holiday was £1500 more expensive than BA, and that included a huge discount of £57 for 28,000 air miles! We are flying with BA from Gatwick to Tampa (£500 cheaper than MCO), Avis car hire (Rav 4 type), staying at the Avanti Palms and Conference Resort, we've got the Flexticket as I refuse to buy a Disney ticket with no guarantee of park entry. It cost around £3800 total, while 2 weeks for Tenerife for the same time of year was £3500. So Florida was a no brainier. We get asked about park and food recommendations a fair bit. We always answer, depends on what you like to do as you are busy pretty much the entire time and it really depends on what food you like. Best advice is plan, plan, plan and just enjoy it. Keep up the good work 👍

brill vog - lady after my own heart spending wise

good insight Gemma, i would hate to add up how much we have spent in the last 25 years think we average £9k per year for the two of us .

Hey, we love to watch your Florida vlogs they have been so helpful to us. Can I ask where would you recommend booking seaworld and busch gardens tickets? I've been looking at attraction tickets and floridatix. Do you think that the all day dine deals are worth it? Thanks and hope you're all having a great Christmas

Good info

Hi you mentioned you used a VPN to get a one day Disney ticket did you receive a digital ticket or a paper one or do you have to pick up on arrival at the park we are looking for a one day ticket thanks

Car hire from Alamo and Thrifty both accept debit cards but not prepay ones. Also if you have full insurance then they don't take a security deposit off you at Alamo but Thrifty take only $300

Where's the best place you've stayed in Orlando? Also not florida related but what did you think of Disneyland Anaheim? Sorry for all the questions xx

Hi Gemma, I absolutely love your vlogs! Could you advise me please on the ESTAs. We went last May so we still have ESTAs valid until January 24. Only thing is we won’t be staying in the same Villa, does this matter? What did you do for yours when you used them for August 22? Thanks x

Love your video, we are first timers with our kids, please can you tell me how I found out how to get the Disney hotel for £17 😱

HHN is 6.30 til 2am this year, just announced (Y)

Just wondering if u have link to the villa you have used thanks, it looks a nice size

Who did you book your 1 day disney ticket through please?

Hi can I ask you who you purchased your one day Disney tickets from , we go on Saturday and have been every year for 23 yrs ( other than covid ) and only wanna go to Epcot this time , thank you

I can't find out how to buy just one day Disney ticket could you help me with this please

Wouldn’t it have been cheaper staying on international drive on a package ?

Did you mention villa cost?

This is very helpful thank you x
