Pre-Travel Day | Florida Vlogs Feb '23 |Staying at the Hilton Garden Inn London Heathrow

Hello Everyone! It's Tom and Paul! We're The Blokes From Stoke! Sharing our love of Disney, Universal, Theme Parks, Travel, Florida and Home.
Welcome to our Florida February 2023 Vlog series!
You join us for pre-travel day! Come along as we head to the Hilton Garden Inn at London Heathrow the night prior to our flight. We'll show you around the main lobby, share with you some of the things we eat and of course give you a full room tour.
This is the start of a week long trip where we will be flying on the new Virgin Atlantic A330 NEO in to Tampa and then driving up to Orlando. Included in this new series is an After Hours Event at the Magic Kingdom, we visit Winter Park and take a boat trip as well as plenty of shopping, eating and time in Universal Studios.
So buckle up and set foot in our multiverse of madness as we take you back once again to the sunshine state!

Thx T&P for the Pre Travel Day Vlog, entertaining as usual, we’ve been looking 👀 for a Hotel to stay at before our Florida trip in November, so I’m going to book this one I think 🤔, we’re travelling from Bicester, so thanks for the wave as you passed 👍🏼

[@TheBlokesFromStoke]

Awwww thank you for coming along with us! We found this hotel very nice and a decent distance from T3. Really glad you enjoyed it and hope you’re excited for your trip! It’ll soon be here! If you want Tom to check out a price on this for you then feel free to drop him a message on his Tom_Morrow_Travels facebook/insta!! Might save a few £££’s!

[@TheBlokesFromStoke]

Cheers Jade! Hopefully it‘s not caused you too much distress on a Saturday morning! 😂😂

[@seancotter4610]

Interested to see how Tampa works out, especially as it’s often way cheaper with BA versus Orlando.

[@TheBlokesFromStoke]

It was a decent trip to Tampa Sean! Only issue we had was that the car hire took FOREVER!!! All coming up on Travel Day!

[@dickanddazdo]

Orange Potatoes. how exotic lol. Great vlog as usual looking forward to the series. Your both amazing and love watching your travels. I think the VAT is because they cooked the food and served it to you ie. provided and extra service. I am no expert but that might be the reason

[@TheBlokesFromStoke]

Haha Thanks folks! Oh yeah! The orange potatoes! Someone was a bit excited!!!! We’ll have to cook our own food in future and save 20%! 🙈😂😂

[@davinarussell6913]

Great pre travel day. I really think it’s one of the best day’s of an Orlando holiday.

[@TheBlokesFromStoke]

Thanks Davina! Yeah it’s very exciting!! All that pre-flight anticipation… and if you’ll get a good seat in the lounge hahaha

[@nickolagray8859]

Blooming love you two! Looking forward to your shenanigans!!

[@TheBlokesFromStoke]

Thanks Nickola! We’re so glad you came along on our pre-travel day!!! Get ready to board next week!

[@davinaweller6163]

Loved this vlog guys! So happy your doing another Florida series ❤❤xx

[@TheBlokesFromStoke]

Thank you Davina!!! Doing a few different things this trip so hopefully you’ll enjoy!

[@raebirchall7896]

Hi guys glad this vlog included you parking at this hotel as we have stayed at some at Heathrow and not arrived till evening and really struggled to park, will keep this hotel in mind for the future as the car park had plenty of spaces. I got full refunds on my flight with Virgin, Alamo and Walt Disney world only had to claim on insurance for my cruise and they have just paid on my cancelled trip in January, so hoping to book a new trip as soon as my husband gets the all clear from his consultant now he is fully recovered.

[@TheBlokesFromStoke]

Awwww that’s good news Rae! So glad you managed to get everything back! Hopefully it’s a little bit of peace of mind! Yep parking was ok actually…. We just had to take the cases a little further and it was only a few minutes drive to the main terminal short stay as you’ll see in Travel Day! Thanks for watching!

[@JosephRawsthorne31]

Fog is when you cant see beyond 1000m and mist is when you can see over 1000m

[@TheBlokesFromStoke]

Thanks Joseph!!! We’re so amateur 😂

[@craigwillox3414]

Great vlog guys. Looking forward to the series. I’m thinking about a day at the beach when I go back in September as never been before so will be keen to see what you think of it 😀

[@TheBlokesFromStoke]

Thanks Craig! Hopefully there will be some new stuff for you to see! We ended up at Cocoa beach so we’ll show you around and see what you think!

[@Garrie0810]

Really looking forward to this series guys. Always a joy watching you both.

[@TheBlokesFromStoke]

Thanks Garrie! So glad you’re enjoying them!

[@johnokeeffe3634]

That drive down was like tron, love you both! Fog drops and mist rises. A bloody shandy, if we meet your going to be shit faced duck. Very nice hotel, jazz hands, Tom's eye rolls are a classic in every vlog, so down to earth and a brilliant couple

[@TheBlokesFromStoke]

Awwww thanks John! We will have more than a shandy if we ever get to meet!!! Hotel was great. We’d definitely stay there again… and now we know the difference between mist & fog!

[@SmoggiesAdventures]

Sorry for all the likes and spams on ur next few vlogs, I watch you tube on the tv and don’t know how to leave comments and likes 😂 Love ur pre travel day.. recently found ur channel and me and hubby are obsessed are you guys are so funny, but really informative ❤

[@TheBlokesFromStoke]

Heheheh no problem! Thanks so much. Glad you’re enjoying the mischief!

[@rachohara]

First of all it's great to have you both back! We were wondering, when you upgraded, could you choose your seats there and then on the app, or was it pot luck?

[@TheBlokesFromStoke]

Hiya!!! Thank you!!! It’s nice to be back! Yes when it came up on the app it gave us the choice to pick our seats and they just happened to be the same ones as our inbound….!!

[@spoons165]

Hi guys you have really mastered the art of the vlog, lots of information and lots of fun, we go in just over 2 months starting to get excited so are looking forward to the future vlogs and the Disney updates keep safe Andy and Vonnie

[@TheBlokesFromStoke]

Thanks so much folks! We are so grateful have you on our adventures! It won’t be long before you’re back in the sunshine state!

[@EmmaJonYoureWelcome]

Your doggy is so cute. It’s always sad leaving them. That looked like a nice easy drive to the hotel. Your dinner looked really yummy It looks like a nice room. Xx

[@TheBlokesFromStoke]

Thank you folks! Let us know when you’re free to babysit! 😂😂😂 We’d highly recommend the hotel. Easy to find and a really comfortable stay!

Now come on, you’re one of the very privileged few who’ve had witness to this first hand! Wasn’t that an elevated experience in itself without the need for advertising slacks and separates on the bottom floor? 😂😂😂😂
