FLORIDA TRAVEL DAY! 1903 Lounge Manchester Airport Man to Orlando via Atlanta with Virgin March 2024

[@SarahE1811]

The best of travel day has to be walking out of MCO into the warm heat that smell is 👌🏽 I always say home sweet home 😂 also the first Wendy’s on arrival to our villa just hits different 😂

[@aclaireytale]

YES I absolutely agree with that! You just can’t beat the smell of that warm heat 😂 thank you so much for watching!

[@kazhastell1099]

Of course Simon is right it’s always jam before cream 😊

[@aclaireytale]

Haha love that ☺️

new Subbie, great travel vlog. The lounge looked amazing. have a fantastic month.

[@aclaireytale]

Aww thank you so much!! Glad you enjoyed the vlog! The lounge was a great addition to travel day! Thank you for subscribing!

[@maureenbeckwith128]

aww i enjoyed that travel day, I always use that lounge prior to a Florida holiday, you got a good price its often nearer £50.its great to be able to help yourself to drinks and food, you definitely need to get your full allocated time in there to get your moneys worth. The walk to the virgin terminal is a very long way, but then i think you will be sat for 9 hours so its probably a good thing. looking forward to the upcoming vlogs.

[@aclaireytale]

Ah thank you! Yes I got a 10% deal for signing up to the Manchester airport newsletter! Definitely look into that! Yes you're right will definitely go super early next time to take full advantage of it! Maybe for next time hehe. Thank you so much for watching hope you will enjoy the series!

[@carolinemunro1557]

I feel the same about the lounge.. We used it the last time we went to Florida. The pool looks lovely 🌿

[@aclaireytale]

Ah yeah? Loved it but also didn't feel fully relaxed haha? I definitely want to go extra early next time we book it that might help make me relax! Thank you so much for watching!

[@valeriefrankovich7225]

Hi Claire! Love seeing your vlogs starting! Very special to get the lounge for all of you! Enjoy your trip!!

[@aclaireytale]

Aww thank you Valerie! So glad you are watching, thank you! Sad we didn't cross paths this time!

[@debmoye1985]

😊😊😊 My favorite part of travel day is walking out of the airport and feeling the humidity thick in the warm air. I live in the dry desert so humidity is a novelty.

[@aclaireytale]

Oh that’s my favourite feeling in the world!!! Thank you so much for watching!

[@hazelross4256]

Great video. I saw another KZbinr’s vlog recently where they had 6 and a half hours at Atlanta !!! I think you had the right amount of time. Looking forward to the rest of your videos. I go to Orlando myself in 11 weeks and 5 days. I am so excited 😊. Doing lots of things I have not done before.

[@aclaireytale]

Aww thank you so much oooh 11 weeks, it'll be here before you know it!! Ooh what new things do you have planned? Thank you for watching!!

[@hazelross4256]

We are staying 2 nights in Caribbean Beach Resort and we are doing after hours parties at Epcot and Hollywood Studios instead of full days in the blistering summer heat.

[@KayleighAnne100]

I love 1903 Lounge. One of the more relaxing lounges available but that's because it's adults only and, alas, that's the end of that for us for now with our 3 year old twin Tasmanian Devils 😂 Might book it for our first abroad holiday without the girls when they start school next year though x

[@aclaireytale]

Yesss loved that it was adults only haha. Ooh yes hope you get to go, thank you so much for watching!

[@margaretalletson84]

17k..you did it . Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@aclaireytale]

Ahhh thank you so much! Can't believe it!!

[@d.redrobinphillips9959]

Hello, Claire. So good to see you and your family again. Am so looking forward to your adventures. Take care. Diane

[@aclaireytale]

Aw thank you Diane! Nice to hear from you, hope you are doing well!

[@Disscot]

Brilliant travel Day Claire. These are always my favourite vlogs. The lounge looked fab. I have done a couple of lounges over the last couple of trips. I always try and get there as really as I can to get the benefit of it. They are expensive especially if like me you don’t drink alcohol but I find it’s a much more relaxed way of starting the trip! I love flying VA. That’s who I am flying with in Sept and they fly direct from Scotland which is fab! I got a reward seat and am flying PE which I am just so excited about. It was less than you paid (but also used some air miles). You can tell you are also just so so happy to be on your way to Orlando 😍. I am looking forward to seeing what else you get up to. You look like you are having the best time 😍x

[@aclaireytale]

Aww thank you so much for watching!! Yeah we love Virgin as well, it was excellent! Haha always happy to be in our happy place! Yeah we’ll try get there earlier next time!

[@steveathey5950]

Nice to see you all going back to Florida together. Always love a travel day vlog 😊

[@aclaireytale]

Aw thank you so much! It felt good to be back!

[@louisegough3808]

[@aclaireytale]

[@MsToady]

Great vlog! Looking forward to seeing this series!

[@aclaireytale]

Aw thank you so so much!! Appreciate that!! Hope you are well!

[@CinderAliLovesDisney]

Hi Claire. My hubby and I watched this last night on our TV. Love travel day videos. That airport lounge was amazing. So much food or drink. I told my husband I would love to spend several hours there to eat both breakfast and lunch and to get my money's worth. 😅 I am totally like you when I travel. I would have been checking the time constantly and making sure I wasn't late. 😂 Glad you all made it there safely. Look forward to other vlogs. ~Ali 🎀🏰💖

[@aclaireytale]

Aww thank you for coming back to comment, really appreciate that! Hope you are doing well!! Thank you for watching, glad you enjoyed it and hope you will enjoy the rest!

[@larryeakin8610]

Well done as always. I am always surprised when you get afternoon tea on your flights, clearly not an American domestic airline. 😉

[@aclaireytale]

Haha just love the afternoon tea they serve! I was looking forward to it!! Thank you for watching!! Glad you enjoyed the vlog!

[@BH6242KCh]

Welcome back to the US, Claire. After watching the Disneyland Paris adventures with Charlotte, Disneyland Paris is in my plans for next year. Looked enchanting.

[@BH6242KCh]

Excellent flight review as well.

[@aclaireytale]

Ah so kind thank you so much! Oh amazing that our vlogs made you have plans for DLP! Hope you have an amazing time!! Thanks for watching :)

[@TrojTV]

I would have never guessed the following sentence would ever be a reality: "it's past midnight, so Walmart is closed".... We're in bizarroworld 😂🤣😪

[@aclaireytale]

Haha what do you mean? Thank you for watching!

[@TrojTV]

@@aclaireytale a lot of Walmarts used to be open 24/7, so it's kinda weird they are now mostly closed at midnight.

[@cindyandkurt]

Travel days are the best!!!!!! Take care! Stay well!!!!!

[@aclaireytale]

Can’t beat travel day!!! Thank you for watching!!! Hope you’re having an amazing time still!

[@cindyandkurt]

Having a great time! So good to see you again!!!!!

[@mandywhitworth3615]

[@aclaireytale]

Aww thank you so much!! Appreciate you watching!

[@emilysavage4652]

So great to start the next series!! Looking forward to the rest of the videos

[@aclaireytale]

Aw thank you Emily! Hope you will enjoy the series!

[@michellemarsh1137]

A brilliant travel day! Just love watching everyone’s excitement. How lovely to treat your parents to the 1903 lounge - a pity you had to clock-watch, but to be fair i’d be the same! Was that Premium Economy you flew with VA? x

[@aclaireytale]

Aww thank you so much!! Yeah haha we didn’t have as much time as we were meant to so we were keeping an eye on the time! No it was just economy but we paid a little bit more for the seats :)

[@jennh7040]

Love a good travel day from the UK. How fun that you surprised your parents with lounge access. Too bad there was traffic so you didn’t have as much time in there. I love that Virgin includes afternoon tea in your flight. It’s such a neat touch. American does not do that when we travel to and from the UK. Curious did Simon like country music before you met him?

[@aclaireytale]

Aww thank you Jenn, glad you enjoyed the vlog! So funnily enough one of mine and Simon's first interactions before we even spoke properly I was whistling Glen Campbell's Witchita Lineman and he finished the song on me! Couldn't believe anyone even knew the song haha so yes he's always liked Country but just a little more into modern country now because of me and our time in America.

[@alancampbell9568]

Lovely travel day and as it’s raining here just outside Manchester really cheered me up. We experienced the 1903 lounge as a perk for flying Upper class (a treat to ourselves , I might add) with Virgin last April (2023). It was a nice but our food was slow in coming out and as I had to drive at the other end couldn’t really take advantage of the free booze. 😂. We have always flown direct, so can I ask how long was your actual travel day from leaving home to arriving at your villa? As I said we’re there for the whole of April last year but missed a possible meet up, I would have treated you to Ghirardelli. 😂 So I’m looking forward to this series bringing back some memories and the weather of 12 months ago.

[@aclaireytale]

Ooh amazing that you get it included with upper class! I didn't know that! So we left the house at 8:30am and got in 12:30am US time! so it was very long! It definitely is better to go direct but this was a really good price. Aw haha thank you hope you will enjoy the series!

[@MrMarkuk1]

I’ll be on my way to Florida for the first time on Wednesday. Can’t wait.

[@aclaireytale]

For the first time? Oh my gosh, I hope you have the best time ever! That's it now, you'll keep going back haha it's dangerous!!! :D. Thank you for watching!

[@tg5275]

How far was housing from where you worked in Disney? Did they provide travel to and from work?

[@aclaireytale]

Yes they provide buses. So housing was right where Simon pointed out the exit at Premium Outlets. It's changed now, it's now up at Flamingo Crossing :). Thank you for watching!

[@stuartallen8310]

Goofy put a bucket on my head

[@aclaireytale]

Haha that's so funny!
