    Poor dad with the kidney stone. It is an INCREDIBLY painful and distressing condition. I hope everyone gave him the love and support he deserved at the time.

    If I was in a villa that nice, I think on a rainy day, I would just opt to stay in. That said, I’m glad you did, because this was a lot of fun to watch. I especially enjoyed watching Nick play virtual reality. Glad to see that Leigh’s dad passed the kidney stone in time to still enjoy a few days of the trip.

    Long one that , but I liked it 👍
    I was petrified on the wheel , just too high for me . Loved the illusion place , may try that one . Glad dad is ok and able to enjoy , nice to see the animals , we've looked at villas via an agent and it just wasn't viable , with all of the extra fees you have to pay , you might break even , but will never make money on them , especially now . But the villas a fab and a dream still . Rainy days are great to shop till you drop. We literally take 2 extra cases and buy bedding too which is a bargain and very different to uk . Golden coral reminds me of the first time we visited , 30 years ago , not for me that one .
    Glad you are getting a few freebies with h20 and icon etc, cos you both deserve it , with the great content you bring , videos are improving every time I watch . Your signature tune follows you ! Keep enjoying . Sending hugs 🤗

Nick it has been such a stressful time for you & for you Leigh too... but the last few vlogs i've really enjoyed seeing you both having more fun. It's so SO nice to see. I hope you both feel like it's ok to move on and to laugh. It's what we all have to do eventually. Our loved ones who've passed would want that more than anything in the world for us and it's so good to see you both doing just that. Big massive love to you both xXxXx

    Great video. You don’t have to go to the theme parks to have a great time. We have done Wonderworks which was great fun. People look so weird with VR headsets on. What a great idea to go to Animal Kingdom Lodge to see the animals - for free . Last went to Golden Corral with 40 12-13 year olds on a school trip - perfect for greedy teens.

    We had issues with security deposits. We found 3 weeks after our check out that the money wasn't in , the hotels had released it the day after and it was our bank causing the issue. We had about $800 in limbo for deposits last nov-december and was a pain....especially knowing we d be out the country and home soon after.
    Rosen shingle creek was the worst.
