Hi @julespostlethwaite9539 thank you so much for the lovely comment. Honestly if it wasn't for the cheap flights and villa we wouldn't have been able to go on this trip. We would probably have had to keep saving for next year so it felt amazing to be able to get over to sunny Disney World in budget sooner. I am a huge fan of Skyscanner now!
I am so glad you’ve made it back and vlogged another series! You are such a wholesome, relatable and refreshing family to watch! Your children are the most wonderful delightful and happy souls! I can’t think of any other content creator i would rather watch! You are so deserving! Looking forward to the rest! Thankyou for also sharing from a budgeting perspective.
Wow @georginarust1555 thank you so much for such a lovely comment. this made our day! I'm sorry it has taken us so long to upload this series. This is a hobby for us and has to fit around our full time jobs and raising the children but we have been so blessed by the lovely things people like you take the time to say. It is truly wonderful to us to be able to preserve these memories and maybe help others plan their trips by watching our experiences, or just follow along with us! Have an amazing week knowing you have made ours brighter x
Thank god I stumbled upon your video - I’m flying Norse to Orlando on Boxing Day and didn’t realise food etc wasn’t provided like with EasyJet etc! Looks like I’ll be bringing a packed lunch 😁
Thank you so much @clairehaigh4612 comments like this make us feel so humble and we are super excited to share the trip with you. Also - LOVE your profile picture, I am desperate to get the Galactic Hero badge one day!
Hello from Charlotte, North Carolina, USA! I am a new subscriber & have to say I thoroughly have been enjoying your videos. I’ve only begun watching them, but am loving them all! Love your family as well! I absolutely love watching a lot of different British Disney Vloggers & also in general just watching UK vloggers doing things in your country. I’m obsessed with all things England & living in Charlotte (known as the Queen City) we have a lot of areas around our city that reflect towns in England & we have a lot of families that have moved here to Charlotte from England. Anyhow, your family is amazing & just wanted to say I am thoroughly enjoying your videos!! Cheers, Monica
@Disneygirl377 Hi Monica! Thanks so much for the lovely comment, we feel so humbled. We can't wait to share the rest of our trip! Charlotte sounds great, it is on our bucket list to explore more of America when the kids are a bit older so I will pop it on the list of places to visit! Have an amazing week.
All Star Music has a decently priced family suite. Beds for 6, 2 baths and a kitchenette with full size refrigerator. Check them out next time. They book up fast!😊
Hi @kimlauffer4552 thanks for the tip. We did actually look into staying on property but it was just outside our budget for this trip. We paid £2200 for the villa for the 16 nights which was perfect for us, though you do have to add on the cost of parking at the parks which you obviously don't have to account for when staying on property. It was also a very short notice trip as we only booked the flights 35 days before we flew! We just felt so lucky to be there and able to experience Disney again with our kids. Thanks so much for taking the time to comment and connect with us we appreciate you. Have a great week!
Yay, you’re back on TH-cam and in Florida! When I saw your header, I thought your flight might have been cancelled, or heavily delayed. That was cheap for the flight and car rental. What probably made your issues easier to handle is that you knew Disney awaited you. Looking forward to the series, and gosh have your kids grown in just one year.
Hi @BigBilly-io3kf how are you? Great to hear from you again. No luckily the flight was great and yes Disney is always the answer! Its so scary how fast they are growing, it makes these trips feel even more special to record for us. The next vlog is now live. We are so excited to share the series with you.
Hi @smileylady8503 thanks for the tip. We did actually look into staying on property but it was just outside our budget for this trip. We paid £2200 for the villa for the 16 nights which was perfect for us, though you do have to add on the cost of parking at the parks which you obviously don't have to account for when staying on property it still worked out cheaper for us. It was also a very short notice trip as we only booked the flights 35 days before we flew! We just felt so lucky to be there and able to experience Disney again with our kids. Thanks so much for taking the time to comment and connect with us we appreciate you. Have a great week!
I know what you mean about the onsite prices now, for next year we have booked a 3 bedroom Condo at Windsor hills for 15 nights for £1300, the condos are right beside the clubhouse and water park. It is even closer to Disney than Emerald Island(this is our alternative place to stay).
Hi @charlie3655 wow that sounds great, I will have to look at Windsor Hills, I don't think I've seen that one before. Emerald Island was where we stayed again this time as it was the best price for us when we were looking to book, though it was very short notice as we only booked the flights 35 days before we flew. We paid £2200 for a three bed villa for the 16 nights we were there. Thanks so much for taking the time to comment and connect with us, we hope you have an amazing trip visiting the magic!
@chrissmoot7038 Yes luckily the worst we got was a bit of rain. Our thoughts are with everyone dealing with Hurricane Helene. Thanks for taking the time to comment
Hi @RonE_UK yes thanks for the advice, we will definitely do this next time. I think it was just because we had the tolls included in the car hire last year that it didn't occur to us to worry about it before hand and we were so tired when we got there we may not have been thinking straight. Have a great week!
I know what you mean. Luckily i am an my own so just need 1 seat on an Airplane. I found a cheap business class seat for £1000 so i booked it. Look at the same flight the other day and now a business class seat is £2000. FUI a seat in the back of the plane was £700 so a £1000 was not bad considering all the extras i get. Like the 4hr lay over in Dublin where i can get free food in the longe.
Save money by staying, eating and buying gifts off-site. Disney and Universal prices are too high. There are plenty of good and great quality establishments in the Orlando, Lake Buena Vista, Williamsburg and Kissimmee areas.
Hi @casmatori we love exploring the local area and eating out in Orlando, there are some amazing restaurants aren't there? Any recommendations we may not have tried yet?
Refreshing to see a family on a budget and not flying premium economy and staying in a deluxe resort. Went 2023 and saving for our next trip.

Oh I am so pleased its been helpful! Have an amazing time in Orlando, that is an incredible time of year to be able to visit.

Great video showing the budget way to do it. You should have got the visitor toll pass, next time.
Hi @sampielesz2470 thanks for the tip we will definitely look into that for the next time. Have a great week!
Yay, so glad you're back!!
Hi @OurTwinLife how are you? So excited to be back to share this trip with you!

Hope your trip was before now with Hurricane Helene hitting Florida. If not you have a story about being in a hurricane.
@chrissmoot7038 Yes luckily the worst we got was a bit of rain. Our thoughts are with everyone dealing with Hurricane Helene. Thanks for taking the time to comment
Since you flew into MCO, you should have looked at Visitor Toll Pass for your tolls. Perhaps for next time.
Hi @RonE_UK yes thanks for the advice, we will definitely do this next time. I think it was just because we had the tolls included in the car hire last year that it didn't occur to us to worry about it before hand and we were so tired when we got there we may not have been thinking straight.

Yes I agree it is great, used it several times now and it is now available in terminals A,B & C.
I know what you mean. Luckily i am an my own so just need 1 seat on an Airplane. I found a cheap business class seat for £1000 so i booked it.

Hi @markclement8972 that sounds like a great price! Its amazing how the prices fluctuate isn't it? I'm a bit of a Skyscanner addict these days!
