Hi Emma. I’m new to your channel but have loved this vlog! We love flying into Melbourne with TUI and as we get it as a package we get transfers included. I love your staying at Animal Kingdom, one day I hope to stay there! After this vlog I’ve gone back to your pack with me vlog and loved that too. You have a great sense of humour and I love that you keep it real! Can’t wait for the next vlog! X

Welcome!!

[@LukesLiife]

Arrrrh i can feel the excitement! I love seeing how everyone spends their first evening on travel day! It's so exciting going to Walmart or Target and spending hours saying things like "omg look at this". . . "omg so many choices of bread". . ."omg look at the size of the cereal bags". . . .love love love! Excited to watch the rest xox

[@Chelsss703]

Yes so excited for your vlogs!! ✨✨ Also, I watched this on the treadmill this morning and the shot of you walking with your compression socks, I started walking to match your speed. So your feet were my feet? Very random but it shows I was paying attention 😂

I have the Gilmore girls box set. I must have watched it at least 10 times lol

We got upgraded and stayed in the other part, overlooking where the animals roam, what a holiday that was, best ever

[@brummymummyof2]

Lush!

[@ajwajw5758]

Been looking forward to your vlogs this looked like a great travel day! would love to stay in Animal Lodge agree with you about the view love people watching lol

Those rooms are cold! You need long sleeve pyjamas and a hot chocolate! 😂 xx

[@brummymummyof2]

True!!

I’ve flown into Melbourne a few times now and I really like it . I always stay at the beach for a couple days on the way home aswell

[@shirleydunn8050]

I love watching Disney travel days! Could actually sense all your excitement.

[@brummymummyof2]

I could have cried!

[@shirleydunn8050]

@@brummymummyof2 I absolutely understand that! I felt all wobbly when you went under the Disneyworld sign. It always makes me feel that it’s actually real! 🤣Love your pumpkin spice PJs by the way!

[@stefaniegalea6810]

You are a joy to watch ❤

[@brummymummyof2]

Thank you!

[@rosemariev8490]

Like you I also love airplane food - my family thinks I’m crazy. Our Disney trips overlapped and I would have loved to see you there to tell you how much your vlogs bring me such joy. I was looking forward to this vlog and as usual it was wonderful!

[@brummymummyof2]

Next time!

[@shannonspringthorpe5583]

Hi,i like your vlogs. Do you know the tablets on the plane can you connect them to bluetooth or do you need cabled ones go listen with

[@brummymummyof2]

They are our tablets lovely so we had our own headphones. TUI give you some for theirs x

[@mariegray1987]

So excited to watch these!! ❤

[@brummymummyof2]

Yay!

[@annemariependlebury6725]

Awwww thanks for sharing we stayed for 2 weeks last summer bringing back amazing memories ❤ we were blessed with a suprise savanna room and my boys named the animals. Standard cheese ball tub 😂😂xx

[@lgoody9503]

Lovely vlog, can sense the excitement! We’ve don’t Disneyland in California but never Florida. Just had a look on Tui and it looks like it just includes flights and accommodation as a package…where do you get all your park tickets etc from please?

[@brummymummyof2]

You add the tickets on when you go to pay! x

[@gemmadierkx4605]

First time watching your vlogs & you are seem so lovely and genuine I’m subscribing. We love WDW and are going in June, we have done many times although this will be our first time traveling long haul with our little boy who is 2. I know yours are grown but I’m assuming you have been there and done that with your 2 children I hope you don’t mind asking do you have any advice for long haul with kids? As I am sure you have lots of experience. & please Would you recommend the seats you sat in right at the back? I am think my little boy is less likely to disturb people if we have nobody behind. 💓

[@brummymummyof2]

Waves hello! I think it doesn't really matter where you sit with little ones. Maybe avoid near the toilets as there could be a bit of a queue of people which can be quite hard!

[@johannagallagher5855]

Hi Emma love this . Just beautiful x

[@brummymummyof2]

Thanks so much 😊

[@LivingTheStaffordLifeuk]

Yeay... so excited for these vlogs.. ❤❤

[@BubbleRoblox100]

I love disney! we stayed at the same hotel its amazing the animals are great hope you had a good time x

The best!

[@BubbleRoblox100]

Yes it really is!

[@sarahchurchman7099]

Aw I love watching your travel videos and I especially love how much detail you go into. I haven’t been on holiday for years so I like to live vicariously through your videos!

[@brummymummyof2]

Thank you!

[@hollieturner2963]

I have been so looking forward to these videos! I can literally feel the excitement in this one! We went to DLP for the first time at Easter and all your vlogs really helped - my little girl pointed to the Meeko statue thing and said "mummy this is the statue the lady in the video couldnt remember the name of 😂" We would love to go to Florida at some point - will definitely keep all your tips in mind! X

[@brummymummyof2]

Well she sounds so cute!!

[@angela.k8545]

Hi Emma can i ask you about the flight socks , im like you feet swollen for days after the flight , did they help , what brand did you use , and sorry for so many questions what size did you use , we fly in two weeks so excited , our youngest son and his family are coming with us this time we will be a party of seven , loving your vlogs x

[@brummymummyof2]

They were amazon. They didn't swell up as much BUT I think they needed to be tighter!

[@Muluue]

I’m going in 30 days!!! Great timing for your vlogs 😅

[@brummymummyof2]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@mrsh6510]

No screens in the back of the seats on a long haul?! Whaaaat 😮 we fly to Jamaica with Tui next year, do I need to load up my tablet? X

[@brummymummyof2]

Ha! There was! Don’t worry! We just didn’t use them x

[@victoria4898]

Adults can eat a children's meal in a table service restaurant, just not when it's a fixed price meal (like buffet etc)

[@LizOConnell-zs6pu]

Love this so much! Get me back there now 😭 Also, we had English breakfast tea pods for our coffee machine in Coronado springs earlier this year and it was lovely, definitely worth asking for them when you’re next back saved us unpacking the travel kettle 👍🏻😊

[@brummymummyof2]

Sadly I don’t drink caffeine so they won’t work for me. Rubbish! x

[@beckiwhite9392]

Love this. Can’t wait for the series. I have two kiddos roughly yours twos age so it’s really informative to watch as it would be our dream to do it one day ❤

[@brummymummyof2]

❤️❤️❤️

[@hannahrobinson6572]

So exciting to see the vlogs, I go with my husband in 15days! Did you check into the hotel on your app before arriving? X

[@brummymummyof2]

We did! In the car! BUT it actually didn't work when we got to the room so we had to get a key x

[@mariewalker2872]

We were there the same time as you! I think I would of screamed if I saw you in the laundry!! In the whole 2 weeks we didn’t work out that the luggage fits under the bed😂 on the last night worked out there was a, built in to the bed head, reading lamp. At least we will know better next time! Also flew Tui and had the free transfer which played Moana on the journey.

[@brummymummyof2]

That is awesome!

[@jovivaliant78]

My 6 year old is so jealous you bought the giant tub of cheese balls. He wanted them when we visited WDW a couple of weeks ago & went to Walmart when we arrived. I’m a cruel mum & said no 🤣 I can confirm the TUI coach transfers from Melbourne are free. It took us about 1hr 30 to get to Art of Animation & it was a smooth coach ride with Toy Story 2 playing on the coach tv’s 😊

[@clairebarrett5276]

So excited you are back with another WDW trip! You packed snack packs for the plane! Great idea, was ok through security? How were the flight socks, did they help?

[@brummymummyof2]

Snacks was fine! Socks worked 75% I think I needed a size smaller. So first day was a little swollen but not as much as usual x

[@clairebarrett5276]

@@brummymummyof2 I am going to pack snacks now!! Thank you so much! Smaller size of socks, got it! On the list is goes - WDW in November ekkkk Thank you!

[@marybutton4066]

Love this. Sat here watching with my middle one before she heads off to Starr High school on Friday. We love disney and really want to try to get over to florida but as a family of 5 it seems so expensive so love seeing all your tips and tricks at keeping costs down ❤

[@brummymummyof2]

Hope she has a lovely start of term x

[@saraholder2338]

Love a travel day vlog ❤just wondering have you done an airport lounge, we have looked and not sure if we would get our moneys worth but are we missing out ?

[@brummymummyof2]

We have. Not at Manchester. Manchester was so gorgeous I wouldn't do one there. But we have done it before from London airports. Once we had a lovely time for a few hours. Once. There was such a long queue to get in we were only in there for 10 mins! It was a nightmare x

[@clairedevlin332]

I really enjoyed my airplane food too 👍👍

[@brummymummyof2]

So good

[@joyswindells4989]

Glad you enjoyed Manchester airport thou voted worst in Uk they just need to sort more toilets in my opinion. Glad TUI flight went well we’re booked with them for next year. Cannot wait for more blogs 😀

[@brummymummyof2]

No way! Manchester was amazing. I’m so shocked at that.

[@lauraabhague4320]

Hope you had an excellent holiday ❤

[@juliajones2283]

Emma I do give you credit for wearing makeup when out in the parks😂😂 I’m much bigger than you so obviously feel the heat there very much and I just don’t bother with makeup in the daytime there now - it’s just toooooo hot!!!😂😂

[@brummymummyof2]

SO HOT!

[@surangrace]

Is the last 2 weeks of Aug the best time to go?

[@brummymummyof2]

Cheaper and quiet BUT SO HOT!

[@surangrace]

@brummymummyof2 ok thanks 😅 I'm absolutely loving your videos BTW. I have two kids under 2 and I'm already planning my trip for when they're older.

[@kc5380]

What's it like flying to Florida with Tui? We've only ever flown with Virgin.x

[@brummymummyof2]

Fab!

[@RacheeFace22]

We’re thinking of doing the Melbourne flight - was it any faster? Did you fly on a Dreamliner? Hope you had an amazing trip, are you planning your next year? 🤭

[@sjarvis8617]

You do fly on the Dreamliner with TUI, we have done Orlando with TUI and ba from Gatwick, tui flight was about an hour quicker!!

Has Stephen ever been to the doctors about his snoring. It''s not only annoying for you but it may not be good for his health. I don't think i'll ever get to go the USA so watching your vlogs is nice. xx

[@brummymummyof2]

He has! He got medicine x

[@chloechurcher3592]

Aw love this! We flew into Melbourne this year and last year, so much faster with security etc but do miss the classic MCO arrival with Disney sign! Makes me want to book another trip, last year we said we’d go in another 3 years then ended up booking again this year and I already want to go back 😂

[@brummymummyof2]

Ha ha! I always want to go back!

[@andyhanson7963]

Hi Brummie Mummy we looking at going back to Orlando in 2026 and wonder why u decided to go from Manchester Airport instead of Birmingham?

[@brummymummyof2]

I don’t know! Ha ha ha!!! I don’t think they do package ones from Brum? x

[@andyhanson7963]

@@brummymummyof2 yeah Tui do package flights on a Monday and Thursday to Melbourne. I’m from Birmingham also and the 4 trips we had have been from Manchester (Travel city direct so miss them, Virgin and Thomas cook) but like you with a daughter who will be 14 and a son who be 7 when we go we hopefully go from Birmingham if it works out a lot cheaper than going from Manchester with a overnight stay, 14 day parking and petrol.

[@reginacalcara4273]

Your wife is very beautiful, and so are your children? You guys have a wonderful time. It's nice to see you all together. Have a wonderful time

[@jessicaocallaghan800]

Stephen can hardly de compress if he has the kids lol 😂

[@brummymummyof2]

He doesn’t need to! He had a lovely time on a flight alone for 8 hours with no kids! He watched 3 films 😂

[@laurieann1981]

Out of all the resorts you’ve stayed at so far which is your favourite? We are planning a 2025 trip and have only stayed at Port Orleans riverside, we loved it but would like to try another one!

[@brummymummyof2]

Oh fab question! They are all amazing in their own way. Art of Animation is the perfect for young children. Port Orleans are so quaint and have the boats and Animal Kingdom is just very luxurious. I’m going to go with Port Orleans I think!

[@laurieann1981]

Thank you for the recommendation! It’s just so hard to choose!!

[@kirsty8798]

What where the sandals you wore on the plane please?

[@brummymummyof2]

They are Tevas!

[@kirstenwright8440]

Who do you book your trips through?

[@brummymummyof2]

TUI for this trip but we’ve done Virgin before too x

[@TallulahMorgana]

It is actually normal! The first couple of nights sleeping somewhere new, your cave-man instincts don't let you fully sleep as they are investigating how safe you are in this new setting. I'm sure I read that somewhere years ago. xx

[@brummymummyof2]

Makes sense!

[@Kate-wt5im]

Would love to know which Target/Walmart you find the best/most convenient for Disney please?

[@brummymummyof2]

We just Google maps which is closer to where we are. I will say go for super target as the one we went to at first was quite small x

[@Kate-wt5im]

Thank you x

Glad it’s not just me who finds aeroplane food strangely exciting!

[@brummymummyof2]

SO EXCITING!

Me too, I love it! I think that’s just because it’s all part of the holiday experience for me though.

[@LeonieN123]

Yes that’s it!😊

[@fathemamatin]

Did the compression socks work? X

[@brummymummyof2]

I would say yes and no. Yes my feet were MUCH better but they still were a little swollen. I think I needed tighter ones around my feet x

[@fathemamatin]

Ah that's a shame. My feet don't swell up too much after flying but I have developed sort of all over body water retention (sexy) which lasts 3 days or so. Will still give the sexy socks a try in the future. Thanks for the reply. P.s bring back nanny san in the vlogs!!!!!

My burning question, was the tui plane clean? 😂 x

[@brummymummyof2]

Yes it was!

[@TLB.Beauty]

Excellent news!! 😁😁

[@louisep9342]

I saw something the other day that said if you can't handle a hot chocolate in hot weather, you won't be able to survive a zombie apocalypse 😅

[@joannemaxwell3372]

How come you didn't fly from Birmingham to Melbourne

[@brummymummyof2]

I don't know! Ha ha ha!

[@mariannetuite7411]

You actually do right not to wear make up to fly, it’s one of the worst things you can do to skin. I’m like you when I fly, clean skin and all the masks Hope the compression socks were good for you, I never travel without because I can’t get up and move around

[@sonyastodghill8328]

There’s no bad view at a Disney resort in my book! I will definitely try the compression socks. Great travel day.
