Travel Day! | Cabana Bay | Universal & Walt Disney World vlogs October 2023

- Welcome to a new Orlando series! Me and Dale are doing a whopping 18 nights in Orlando this time around, staying in three different hotels across both Universal Orlando and Walt Disney World!
This first video has us travelling to Orlando and checking into hotel number one, Cabana Bay! This resort is one of my favourites in Orlando, it gives me all of the holiday vibes and I think that reflects in our excitement here.
Day one sees us venture into Universal's Islands of Adventure and a brief dip into Universal Studios while also taking in the delights of our resort.
Join us for the next video where we get stuck into my favourite event of the year, Halloween Horror Nights!
Enjoy!

You two are incredibly adorable! You’re happy, in love and having the best day! It’s so great to see.
Thank you so much!!
Your channel is such a positive influence on my life.
I’m not emotionally stable enough for this comment 😂 Thank you ❤️
"It has been an amazing first day, oh sorry someone is getting killed!" LOL
"The other one, woof im having it"
😂😂
I love Cabana Bay for decor and lazy river. Spent 6 days there last March. The lazy river didn’t open till day 3 and since I mentioned that’s why I booked this hotel they upgraded me to the cute room with the sitting room and kitchenette. So cute. Way cheaper than Disney white hospital rooms. I went to the parks first 3 days, bus was easy and fast trip. Definitely going to stay there again.
Easily my favourite value resort in Orlando, it's such a vibe
Whoop vlogs are back. This makes me happy. Flying back myself next Friday 🎉
I’m so jealous! Have an amazing time
Where is Sam and what have you done with him? 😂 I have been here for your vlogs since the very beginning and don’t think you have ever, ever, ever put a vlog out this quickly after a trip. I am loving the new efficient Sam but I would have happily waited months for this vlog series, your vlogs are well worth the wait. Looks like you both had an amazing time so far…can’t wait till Sunday for the next instalment!
I have a Dale doing a draft edit for me and then putting my laptop in front of me when I get back from work and glaring at me until they’re finished 😂
Loved the video! You and Dale make a great team!
Thanks so much!
Sam! It's always a happy feeling to see you've uploaded a new video. Looking forward to the rest of this travel series, can't wait for the next video to upload in 2024! 😋
2024? That’s a bit early, give a man some time 😂
“I’m very passionate about people enjoying things I do” literally that’s my life. So glad I discovered your vlog. You two are the best
We're just enthusiastic people 😂 Thank youuu
Loved the video :)
Thank you!!
I wasn’t that sold on the Universal parks when we went last year. But watching this has made me want to go back and give them another chance
They were so busy last year that even we felt that way. Definitely better crowds and overall vibe this year
@@sammealey the day we went we managed to do everything we wanted to in both parks. I just felt like something was missing that made us want to go back again. Based on yours and Dale’s love for the parks, I’m clearly missing something and need to go back and find it
WOAH! Quick turn around on this one Sam. Can't wait for the rest of the trip!
Shock treatment is available at your local GP
So happy to see you back❤love your blogs especially the ones with Dale the two of you are so great together ❤
Thank you so much ❤️
Another Vlog series to look forward to. Y’all are so much like my partner and I. We both love Universal and Disney. My partner’s favorite Universal hotel is Cabana Bay, so much that he got that same Cabana Bay blue t shirt Dale liked. I cannot resist going into a theme park gift store like you Sam. We both love eating and snacking our way through our entire vacation. Oh, and yes, to Cat n the Hat ride 😂
Don't encourage Dale with Cat in the Hat 😂 Love it though, the Universal hype is very much real. It grows on me more every year, I just love it
Sammm your a legend honestly so much more comfortable vlogging now , Dale you’re an absolute star too
Thank youuuu 😭
you two are soooooo adorable, found you thru adam's vlog, you seem such a lovely couple x
Thank you 😭❤️
Woohoo. So glad you're both back!
I am so happy there is a new series of videos! You two are the cutest couple and I love how excited you both get 😭❤️
Thanks Adam 😭❤️
Always so joyful and generous with spreading the love, you guys are ace!! Pleeeeeeeaaase keep sharing your fun times, if you feel like you can! Of course you need to enjoy doing it, but know that you really do bring so much joy to tonnes of other people who live out their Disney dreams through you!! And generally enjoy watching you be wallies and have the best times 🤣 Thank youuuu!!! 🙌
Thank you so much 😂 that means a lot. I do love doing it, I just need to be wary of a work life balance and my relationship with social media for suuuuure. My memory is also dreadful so I need the memories recorded like a pencieve 😂
So excited to watch you and Dales adventure. The view from your room was amazing, I want to stay there on my next trip.
It’s honestly my favourite value resort, there’s such a fun vibe
Oh Sam! Wonderful to have you back. You got this one out quite quickly! Loving the excitement along the way. You're always completely watchable 💖
Thank you! Dale is absolutely to thank for the speed this went up, he's not letting me rest until they're done 😂
@@sammealey He’s cracking the whip! Now I can’t keep up. 🤣 Anyhow, I’m loving it. 💖
Thank you for sharing your trip! Hope you have many more happy memories at Disney and Universal!
Thank you!
Oh my gosh I'm always so thrilled to see a new vlog. You guys are the best and it makes me so happy to see you again ❤
Thank you :)
Love you guys!!
Dale’s excitement is totally the same as me in a merch shop 🤣
So pleased you vlogged the trip as it looked amazing on Instagram, can’t wait for the rest xx
He’s even more distracted by shiny things than me 😂
ADORE YOU GUYS. so fun!!! X
Thank you!
Lovely. Always fun to see both of you. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you!
We loved it!!! Glad to see you both again and you both look like you had a great time! Omg that hotel view 🙀 Dales burger look sooooooo good! Even if a bit messy 😂 can’t wait for the next
That burger was more lettuce and gherkin than beef 😂
the other portobello mushroom burger looked good, as well!!!! @@sammealey
"..The best meal I had in my existence!" lol 👍🏻✌🏻✨🏰 I'm only at 6:46, and laughing already!! Thanks for sharing! 👍🏻
PS : As a vegan, I can relate.!💛
I still think about that meal to this day
My husband and I love Cabana Bay so much!!! Watching your video makes me want to go back (may have just checked out the current vacation deals!). Thanks for all your videos - they are just the happiest 🙂
Volcano Bay stays are a slippery slope. You then stay at other resorts, but you're still thinking of Bay
❤❤❤❤❤❤
This,was,awesome Sam! So glad to see you again❤
Thank you!
Yasss queens! Just what I've been waiting for! Cannot wait to watch this tonight after work 😁 Was so excited to hear you guys and Adam were going to be meeting up too. So exciting! 😁
Yaaass! Hope you enjoyed x
Amazing to see you both back in ORLAND0! Great travel day! That VIEW of the 🌋! Amazing it’s erupting at night ! LOVE seeing your EXCITEMENT at ISLANDS OF ADVENTURE!!! 🦖 🏝️ 🧙♀️
Just trying to do y'all proud!
Also Dale has a terrifying glare.
@@sammealey thanks you are, true 😂
Honestly if I keep Kermitting like this I'll break the joints in my arms and hands. (Yeaaaaaa!!!) You just make my heart smile. Sooo, thanks for posting. Brilliant! Also, "I don't need another loungefly...but I also do" so true of so mahy things (there goes the budget eh?)
Who needs a budget, when you can have post-trip bank panic 😂
Great video guys.
Thank you!
Such a cute couple 🥰
@Sam Melaey ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤WONDERFUL Lovely Video
Thank you ❤️
Oh Sam, greatttttt vlog. ❤❤ You are both such a cute couple. Can't wait to see the next one. ❤❤
Thank you!
New subscriber. I really enjoyed your vlog!
Aww thank you! Welcome to the mess ❤️
You guys are just so joyously Brit and wonderful. It was so neat to see y’all on the garden path. It’s a not very well known way to city walk. Also you can catch the ferry across the street at Sapphire Falls. Seeing the volcano at night ❤. I love Universal but I love watching other people love it even more. Thanks for the grins
I didn't know you could get the ferry from Sapphire Falls, that's so good to know, thank you. You really can't beat coming back to that Volcano at night though can you? Universal has my heart and soul at this point and it's not just because Oddfellow stole it at HHN
@@sammealey you are most welcome. Today is my travel day to Universal. Orlando Informer Meetup weekend. Four to five times a year it’s an after hours all free food, free drinks (non alcoholic) low crowds soiree that is a must do. Third party tickets through Orlando Informer and worth every penny. I’ll be taking the ferry, too :)
I just came across your channel! And I absolutely love it!!!!! You two are amazing!
Thank you! Welcome to the mess ❤️
It was so good to meet you on your recent trip and ride the skyliner with you both. Can’t wait to see the rest of this series, and I hope you loved Animal Kingdom Lodge so much! The flight looked great 👍 love a good fish taco as a pescatarian 😂🤣
And you! I just let out a squeal to Dale when I saw this comment and put your thumbnail to your face. I went "oh my god, Claire is THAT Claire" 😂 Loved our little Skyliner chat ❤️
@@sammealey haha I love that you made that connection! Hope you are having an amazing day! I watched your second video and I don’t think my heart would withstand Halloween Horror Nights 😂🤣
Brilliant to have you back 👍👍
Thank you ❤️
@@sammealey heard the throw away comment about good place for a wedding 👍. Assume we’ll all be invited lol 😘
@@graham7229 Fancy hats required!
@@sammealey challenge accepted lol
Fab vlog - so lovely to see you both back in the magic. Can’t wait for the rest of the series 😘😘 #knockoffloungefly😂
Changing my channel name to knockoff loungefly
@@sammealey 😂😂😘 xx
Stayed at Volcano Bay in 2019 Volcano View watching you both makes me so excited to go back next October 🎉the volcano gongs going off first thing in a morning was a bit of a shock at first though! 🤣
Changing my alarm to that sound henceforth
Just found your channel and absolutely loved the video, your excitement just makes it so fun and the relationship you have with each other is so lovely and a pleasure to watch. Keep being you! New subscriber here 😊
Thank you!
I found the amenities bag handy as I put passport in it for first day in parks
Such a good idea, we love resourcefulness here
me sucking all the oxygen out the room with my gasp, when I got an alert new content. You unalived 2 people. content.
I am unable to comment without speaking to a legal representative first
Only just discovered you guys, love you already
Welcome to the chaos ❤️
Great travel day ! We flew 19th Sept this year for 19 days - was amazing. Was my birthday also and the cabin crew gave a an autographed weather map and a bottle of bubbly !!!
Aww that's amazing! It just starts the holiday off with such a buzz (and not just because of the bubbles). Hope you had an amazing trip!
Hi Sam, Hi Dale, nice to see you again!! Wow that view of the Volcano is amazing!! Ah, NASA bag, I remember when Dr. Samestein resurrected it 😂 The adventure begins!!
I will never forget editing footage of me sewing a bag (poorly) while sat in complete silence 😂
@@sammealeyit was a brilliant piece of editing, very much like a horror movie 😂
Happy birthday!
Y'all didn't ride The Mummy? That's my favorite (behind Hagrid's of course though stopping on the drop is no fun!).
Also it's nice to watch a fellow pescetarian dine at a park!
It can be a challenge for us pescies 😂 but don't worry, we rode Mummy the next day (and a couple times off camera throughout the trip 👀)
OK, you zipped past the bathroom so quickly I want to ask -- do they still put the "retro branded" toiletries in there? I always considered that one of the best touches at Cabana Bay.
Awe!!! I'm an absolute Hoe for Sam and Dale.🤣
You're such an adorable couple. Thanks for taking us along with you. I love these adventures. ❤️🧡💛💚💙🩵💜🩷
Thanks for joining us on them! ❤️
Hi 👋 Can I ask please, my family and I are travelling World Traveller plus with BA from Gatwick end of month, was there premium bag drop/check in? Thank you xx
Yeah, there’s a designated Premium Economy lane next to the Economy lane at check in :)
@@sammealey that's brilliant to know! Thank you so much. I have paid for quicker security as well, then straight to the No 1 lounge for a cheeky bevvie. Can't wait for your next vlog xx
Hi there, would you mind telling how you booked the two parks, was it in a deal please. Our son George has Downs Syndrome and dreams of going to Disney Disney so we are saving hard ❤Any info greatly appreciated ❤
We got annual passes this year so it was all included in that. We usually go for the 14 day universal tickets offered to the UK otherwise as we like having the flexibility to change around our schedule when we're there. If you're only going for a day or two though it's worth seeing if 1/2 day tickets work ouch cheaper. I recommend getting at least one day with park hopper tickets if you've got any Harry Potter fans in your party though as you need that to ride the Hogwarts Express between parks
Hi new subscriber here, just wondering where you guys are from? X
We’re based near Cambridge in England and Dale is originally from Wales :)
@@sammealey My family are from Wales. Really enjoying your vlogs. I've come over from Adams channel. You are all very funny. You really cheer me up xx
2024 Meetup?!
I don't know how a meetup would work logistically but might look into it, could be fun!
