Ahhh the airboat ride we did one too many years ago. It's fun. I got a bit of a sunburn too 😅 6 years ago we rented a Camaro I loved that car. A year later we had a Mustang. I was not a big fan of that one. Maybe you should compare next time and let me know which car wins. Great vlog as always

Totally agree with you about accomodation. Used to think the same, it's just a base. We had a private timeshare room booked in Vegas after disney last year. Got there and it was dirty, smelly amd the mattress and pillows were seriously stained (shouldn't have looked🧐). Was totally gross but by the time we checked in it was 1030pm and we were too tired to try and sort it out. We were up at 8am the next morning finding a hotel on the strip amd sent photos to air bnb as the owner was fobbing us off. Got a refund the next day thankfully but I wouldn't have cared. We just wanted out of there. The funny thing was, he had more positive than negative responses on his page🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🫤. Stick to what you know and love, even if it is a bit more. It definitely makes the trip having somewhere clean and nice to go back to
@theburgesses20049 күн бұрын
Oh no. That sounds awful. No one should have to deal with all of that on holiday. I’m happy to say that although he did not like the Rosens one bit that they weren’t dirty (well I wouldn’t like to imagine what’s in the 30 year old carpet but…) or at least from what we saw all was pretty clean. Just not for us. They probably deleted all the bad reviews. 😬

Never do a waterpark on a bank holiday weekend especially 🤣 Limited time means limited options. I’ve said I think we need to learn from our mistakes in VB though and stop going for the krakatau tap in as the first slide when it’s high because it just means you’re waiting around for so long and can’t get on anything. We didn’t even go on it. We left before. X

Aww don’t worry about it. I know Rosen are cheap and helps people budget, but I like Dockside, and for a budget hotel it’s fantastic, transport excellent, heated pool, food is great and not to expensive and as you know 5 minutes from the parks. We stayed in may also and yep that heat 🤪 we melted. Going back in just over 2 weeks, and can’t wait. And great vlog by the way 👍🏻

This trip has proven we like a plan even when no one else has any input as long as I’m there to tell them what we’re doing we’re better off. Definitely a nice hotel for a budget. Would have liked to have tried the 2 bed suites but adding the additional £400 on top of already booking a new hotel was a bit too much of an add on. On a short trip we would consider staying again.

Nah. It’s called truthful. You can watch loads of happy happy ‘best day ever’ vlogs all over KZbin but we tell it as it is. As I’ve said, this trip did not go as smoothly as we hoped and that happens sometimes. Not everyday is going to be wonderful and exactly what you thought. We had a great holiday overall but it had its moments. If we like something I will tell you but if we don’t like something then I’m also going to tell you. We learnt a lesson on this trip so moving forward we know not to repeat it.
