Sunset on Expedition Everest was amazing! Love your Vlogs!

[@worldpadlock5628]

Wasn’t it beautiful? It’s such a perfect time to do the ride! Thank you so much for watching 😁

Thank you! It’s our new favourite time to ride Everest 😂

We always get toiletries from dollar tree if we need any, like hand soap, deodorant, pot washing stuff as we always stay in a villa& it saves you so much money.

[@worldpadlock5628]

That’s such a good idea! We’ll remember that for next time! Thank you so much 😊

You really need to go to Nomad Lounge when you go back in April, honestly it’s the most relaxing place with some of the best cocktails and snacks on property! Did you purchase Genie+ at all this holiday? We are going in September and hoping it’s a little quiet with all the kids being back at school! Great day! Last time we were there we ate at Springs more than anywhere else. Highly recommend Steakhouse 71 one of the cheapest Steakhouses on property at Contemporary. We also had 2 wonderful meals at Enzos hideaway & Jaleo at Disney Springs. Looking forward to the next vlog x

We really should! Everyone has such incredible things to say about it, in April we’re taking a bit slower so hopefully will have time to do it this trip! We did but later on in the holiday, I think we did it maybe 2 or 3 times in total! Ooh we looked at Steakhouse 71 but we always got to the springs so late it felt too late for a proper sit down meal! Ooh thanks for the tips! We’re making a list of new places to try 😊

You can never go wrong with a Publix. The stores are clean, the people are civilized, and the deli is always spot on. (I get anxiety at Walmart. Too chaotic!) While the prices are higher at Publix, that’s still outrageous for the cost of deodorant. Unfortunately, Publix is located in only seven states. Most of our chains for grocery stores, gas stations, fast food restaurants, etc., are regional. Prime doesn’t have the same popularity here in the US as in the UK. There are several brands that are much more popular. It was crazy to hear how much people were paying for them over there.

[@worldpadlock5628]

Yeah we definitely noticed that! The store was so calm and empty, Walmart is so busy and the aisles are always hard to navigate 😂 Ooh that’s interesting! We always thought it was the US that made prime so popular here in the UK!

Publix stores are usually much nicer than Walmarts but the prices are 20-30% higher it seems. For stuff like deodorant a Walgreens or CVS would be good.

[@worldpadlock5628]

We did find the store was nicer and quieter! Ah perfect! We’ll remember that for next time, thank you 😊

I really want to go to seaworld cause of all the new rides, but I will never voluntarily watch those shows 😢 I don’t understand how ppl can enjoy that after all those documentaries 🙁 I understand that there a different opinions on this subject and I hope you had an awesome day

[@worldpadlock5628]

The rides are so good and they have such a short queue compared to the Disney ones! We struggled watching the shows after watching those documentaries but we could see the trainers do really love the animals. If you watched our last vlog Anastasia really didn’t want to watch the shows because of the films on Netflix etc but she read the book Whale Done (it’s a book about management and the power of positive reinforcement) and is based on SeaWorlds whale training theory. Its only a short book and I’d recommend anyone to read it, and it makes the shows a little easier to watch 😊

@@worldpadlock5628 thanks for helping me understand on the subject. I’ll be in Orlando this summer for a month to accompany two groups in all the parks. They will want to go to seaworld as well so I’ll make sure to read the book you tipped! Makes going a lot easier tho I will not join them in the entertainment shows 🙈 Have a lovely day! Really enjoy your content!!
