Great informative video, how you stay so positive is beyond me 😂 if I had a flight cancellation, lost luggage & rain on the first day I’d be going mental. An even topper tip is mix all your clothes in all suitcases that way you’d have a few more items than just what’s in your hand luggage. I’m staying in Royal Pacific in five weeks time, can’t wait!
Thank you so much for watching and for your comment. Haha- I’m just happy to be on holiday- things don’t seem so bad when you are in Florida! I bet you can’t wait to go in a few weeks- Loew’s Royal Pacific is lovely- you have the express passes too! We did a night there for the 2 days express passes in February. There’s a hotel review on the channel already. Will you try to get in the park as soon as you arrive?
@@thekennafamilyadventures5 not this time, although we have in the past, we will be going to Walmart to stock up & have something to eat in IHOP a sort of mini tradition now. When we were there last two years ago we mulled going straight into the park the evening we arrived but decided not to. Turned out to be the right decision as we were delayed an extra day because of Hurricane Ian so that meant we had almost a full day in the parks our last day because we were still within our 14 day limit but if we would’ve nipped in on our first day we would’ve been ineligible. Phew!
@@s1mpson44 that decision worked out well for you all. Flight arrival times can make the decision for you sometimes. In Feb we didn’t get to the hotel until after 10pm. I hope you enjoy the videos between now and when you go. Have an amazing time and enjoy every minute!
Having just got back ourselves i enjoyed your vid, bringing back great memories. We stay at Cabana Bay when in Orlando but Endless Summer is now on our list. We also ended up eating in the Panda first evening but ran out of steam and gave the parks a miss.
@@lin3ar413 thank you so much. We might do Cabana Bay on another trip. Like that there’s a slide in the pool. Endless Summer really suited us though. The separate bedroom was great. When were you in Orlando?
@thekennafamilyadventures5 we did September 9th to 22nd We really like cabana bay, the pool does get very busy though. Fantastic for Voocano Bay, literally 5 minutes walk from out hotel room.
@thekennafamilyadventures5 VB is our favourite water park. Yep, orlando blues has already set, even though we've had 25+ holidays there over the years. Going to give orlando a miss next year and go again in 26 for epic universe. If you ever fancy a change of pace, I highly recommend Anna Maria Island for a few days. Although it's just been hit badly by the hurricane. It's an amazing place.
Thank you. I’ve heard it’s beautiful. Shame that it’s been hit by the storm. I see Clearwater was also hit. I think it’s of people are doing what you are doing and waiting for epic universe. It looks amazing. The preview store was pretty awesome.
Sounds like an amazing trip Mick. We also did MNSSHP this year. Great event. We are having so much fun making this series so far. We hope you enjoy it!
Loved your vlog! I do not think y’all were disrespectful. You were not loud - just talking to your family. Anyway. You have a lovely family and look like all were having so much fun. Hope to visit N. Ireland one day. Moms folks from County Antrim. Looking forward to Violcano Bay content.
Thank you for your lovely comment and for watching. We are from County Antrim! We live in Ballymena which is quite central in County Antrim. What a small world!
@@mars2100 cheers Andy. We ended up only doing the one ride but we can still say we hit the park on travel day! Best holiday yet and we are having a blast reliving it while making the videos. So glad you enjoyed travel day. Really appreciate the loyalty. You are one of our OG subscribers!
Thanks Ann- yes that a sensible thing to do and we certainly will next time. I think until you’ve had a case get left behind you never think it will happen to you! We live and learn! I hope you enjoy the rest of the series. Are you planning a trip to Orlando?
I love to watch pre travel/travel days vlogs but usually stay away from families. My children are grown so there’s nothing in common. HOWEVER, your pre-travel day drew me in. I also do not watch Universal vlogs because we don’t go to those parks. Not only have I enjoyed watching your vlogs, I’ve subscribed to you channel. Now I’m going to see if there are vlogs in this series to catch up on. Thank you.
@@nancymccombs3775 thank you so much for your lovely comment. It’s lovely to hear you enjoy our style of videos. We just be ourselves and try to put our excitement for the trip across. It’s what we love about videos we watch when planning a trip. I hope you find some of our other trips of interest. Thank you for subscribing and we genuinely hope you enjoy the rest of our Florida series.
Thank you so much and we appreciate you subscribing. We’re having so much fun reliving the holiday while making the videos. Hope you enjoy the rest of the series 🤩
@@PaulMcGeady thanks for watching and for your question. Quite simply, cost, Paul. As a family of 5 who try to get away more than once a year we always look for the best deals on flights. We’d booked these flights almost a year before and going indirect from Dublin saves us around £1500 vs the direct flight. That’s a fair chunk towards our spending money. If we got a good deal on direct flights, of course we’d do it.
Thanks Billy. Good idea. Luckily, I had a day time outfit in my carryon which ticked me over until I got my Bach back. I also got a new vest and pair of shorts for my trouble. We appreciate you watching and really hope you enjoy the rest of the series. We’re having so much fun putting the videos together!
@@thekennafamilyadventures5yeah always a good idea to have a spare outfit in the hand luggage, always assume your checked bags will be lost. Thankfully it’s never happened me 🤞 but I still prepare anyways
@@scottbrady6795 that’s sensible. We’ll definitely mix our clothes between cases next time to minimise who is affected. You never think you’ll lose a case- until you do 😂
Ok so no hate but the woman sat next to you on the plane looked mortified and awkward as hell about being on camera, should really sensor her - I think it’s pretty unfair to force that on people
Thanks so much for watching Sarah. We tend not to film in confined spaces for exactly that reason but obviously it can’t be helped on a plane. My wife was speaking to the lady during the flight and she was fine being included. I hope you enjoyed the rest of the video and are looking forward to the rest of the series.
@@thekennafamilyadventures5 yeah totally, the video was great we will be doing the same route soon. It was just when she first appeared she looked mortified - I am glad you checked and asked her, I know so many don’t x
Hi Chris , if you look back at our other videos you’ll see we premiered all of our February series at 4am UK time. It gives those who are off on Friday a chance to watch during the day rather than have to wait until after work. We have some eager viewers! Anyway, we really hope you enjoy the new series.
@@thekennafamilyadventures5 that's not a bad shout actually... I'm off most Fridays as it happens. 👌 It wasn't a criticism btw, just thought it an odd time that you'd maybe set in a different timezone. Lol. Apologies for the typos on my original comment too...god it doesn't read well...autocorrect. have a lovely time on holiday, watched a good few of your videos. 👍
@@casmatori why would people who aren’t travelling a great distance want to pay for car rental, pay to park it at the hotel & pay for theme park parking when there’s free bus service from the hotel lol.
Very rude to video that woman eating her dinner on the plane ! She probably didn't want to cause a fuss but she didn't look comfortable, I would be furious
@@jenniferfarrelly2400 Hi Jennifer, we were speaking to the lady during the flight and she was perfectly happy to be in the video. If not we would have blurred her out. Aside from that, I hope you enjoyed the rest of the video.
