Starting our 4 week Florida Trip! London to Orlando with British Airways | Disney World & Universal

[@ForeverInTheDream]

Thank you for being true and keeping it real on how exhausting it is on a long haul flight with two children. Absolutely love the vlogs and we as a young family can totally relate and will 100% be watching more!! We hope you had a truly magical time ❤

[@thefinlayadventure]

Thank you so much for commenting. Really appreciate it. Yep, this little ones don't make it easy - as you'll see from the upcoming videos. Lol 😂

[@katieb9688]

Thank you for showing the reality of long haul with young children. I’ve bought sweets food the cabin crew too, I’d no idea they would beg so grateful!

[@thefinlayadventure]

Hey - thanks for commenting. It was tough with the kids (especially Blake) but Orlando is worth it. Lol. We didn't expect the treats to be received so we'll. We'll definitely do it again.

[@thebrummierailenthusiasts5329]

It’s a pleasure meeting you Finlays at Disney springs

[@doodles3075]

Don't worry Disney does the same to me😊. The 1st time we went we booked a year before and didn't tell the children until a few days before we went( actually the Disney store in London told them, by putting it up on the screen). I had spent the whole year in tears, 1 because we were going to Disney,2 because i thought i was keeping a fantastic secret.....❤

[@thefinlayadventure]

Love this. What an amazing surprise for the kids! Great that the Disney store put it up on the screen too 👌🏼

Hi - thanks for the comment. We're looking forward to sharing our trip with everyone 😊

Fantastic travel day guys! Loved it! Looking forward to the next vlog ❤

[@thefinlayadventure]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@tripwiththeskeldons]

Love a good travel day you guys make it look so fun x

[@thefinlayadventure]

Thank you. It was fun, but it did have its challenges with the kids. We love a travel day too - you can't beat that feeling 😁

I have the exact SAME table that you have under your TV @ 0:46. 😊 I got mine at IKEA, I assume you did too.😁LOL !!! Great Vlog - thanks for sharing. Patrick from Bethesda, Maryland, USA

[@thefinlayadventure]

Ha - yes, we got ours at IKEA too. Thanks for commenting on the vlog, Patrick 🙂

[@Nasharooney]

Great travel day vlog guys. I'm so excited to follow along with the rest of your trip. We went out around the same time as you so you are bringing all the lovely memories back 🥰. We loved our BA flights too. Our kids are older now, so it was pretty much 9 hours of being left alone to watch films. (Bliss). Travelling with young kids is so exhausting, but you handled it amazingly well. xx

[@thefinlayadventure]

Thanks so much for watching and your kind words. Glad you had a lovely holiday too ☺️

[@FairyGodmother]

I just watched this and I loved it! It took me back to going to Orlando with our sons when they were small. I will be following in your footsteps in just over a month going BA to Orlando MCO also. I also booked fast track security and Airport Lounge 1 so it’s good to see it’s gone so smoothly for you guys.

[@thefinlayadventure]

Hey! Thanks for watching. To be honest, the process was really smooth. We couldn't fault it. It's been really fun re-living our holiday through these vlogs and I really hope you enjoy them too. How long will you be in Orlando for?

[@FairyGodmother]

@@thefinlayadventure I’m going for eleven nights staying totally at Disneyworld but have one day at Discovery Cove

[@thefinlayadventure]

@@FairyGodmother Excellent. We hope you have an amazing time! Where on site are you staying?

[@WhoAteThePeach]

Ah I remember those times… when my kids were little. We are about to go back to Florida after four years and kids are now 17 and 14, so it’s going to be quite different. My youngest was 6 when we first went and I remember that was challenging at times! Great vlog, looking forward to the next ones!! 😊

[@thefinlayadventure]

Thanks for messaging. Yeah, things were tough at times, but, to be fair to both of them, they handled the flight very well. When are you going back out there?

[@WhoAteThePeach]

I think we had a similar room when we were there, it was a fab view!

[@thefinlayadventure]

Such a great hotel. We really struggled to find any negatives to it

[@destinationdisney2001]

Hi Jake and Donna - Excellent travel day vlog guys just watched it ! 👍 Great tip about chocs for the cabin crew - we must try that next time 😂 Blake did very well, so did Matilda as it’s a long flight. We agree with you - BA much better than Virgin these days. Look forward to the vlog series! David 👍😎🌴🇬🇧🏰🛩🇺🇸 PS Sophie and Olivia have also watched your travel day too…sure they will comment later if not already done so.

[@thefinlayadventure]

Thanks Dave. It was an excellent flight with fab service (probably helped by the chocolates we gave the cabin crew)

[@Gaaaaav]

A great video! Making me jealous however we’ve only got 138 days to go! Side note, it’s a Boeing 777 that you flew on 👍🏻

[@thefinlayadventure]

Wahoo! Those 138 days will fly by! I bet you can't wait. Lol. Thanks for the info 🙂 (we really had no clue 🤣)

[@edwardcairns1694]

Hi love your vlogs, can I ask how the Blue Card works in Disney/ Florida??

[@thefinlayadventure]

Hi. Thanks for watching. Glad you're enjoying the videos. For Disney, It works through the My Disney Experience app. You use use it to book your ride times and enter through the Lightning Lane. Universal works differently. They will give you a card at guest services which you need to take the queue for each ride. They will either let you on straight away, or give you a return time depending on the stand-by wait time.

[@SharpeAshleigh]

You’re reactionary when little one napped. We’re going in 3 weeks with a 2 year old in tow and I’m desperate for her to actually sleep on the plane!

[@thefinlayadventure]

Haha! Yeah, it was such a LONG day, so we were over the moon when he fell asleep. It was nice to be able to switch off for an hour or so. She'll be fine - do you have an earlier flight or later?

[@SharpeAshleigh]

It’s a midday flight and she normally naps around lunchtime. I’ve already told myself there’s no chance of a nap until til at least a few hours into the flight. Loving the series so far! 👍🏻

[@thefinlayadventure]

@@SharpeAshleighoh yeah. If she's a regular 'napper' I can't imagine she won't sleep. Thank you for watching. Glad that you're enjoying the series 😁

What were in the goodie bags that you gave to the cabin crew please?

[@thefinlayadventure]

Hi Zoe. It was a bag with Cadbury chocolate in it - Cadbury buttons and big dairy milk bars. Nothing special, but they really appreciated it 😁

[@michellaporte6750]

Excellent video 😊 next time can you upload in a higher resolution ?

[@thefinlayadventure]

Hi - thanks for commenting. Glad you like the video. We've changed the resolution for these videos to 1080p 60fps. Not sure I can do much more until we get a new camera 🥲

[@EvetheKit]

May I ask did you pay for the lounge separately or comes as a package?

[@thefinlayadventure]

Hi - thanks for commenting. We paid for the lounge separately and booked direct through them. If you sign up when you book for the first time there is a 10% discount

[@EvetheKit]

@@thefinlayadventure Thank you.

[@thehiltongirl]

Hi, do you have any recommendations for pre paid travel cards, just looking for something to use to pay for things.

[@thefinlayadventure]

Hi - we used a Revolut card when we go to Florida. Its really useful for budgeting too

[@EvetheKit]

They don’t normally give out amenity kits in economy do them?

[@thefinlayadventure]

Not normally - we got very lucky

[@MrAnderson321]

Is the flight upgraded to Premium seats or are they economy seats?

Awful parents letting your son have that much screen time

[@aleeshaaaa2]

no they are not i've always allowed my son on his ipad so he stays calm and less stress full especially when we're off on holiday!

[@Kimberleyjeanrose]

I would maybe keep your comments to yourself. Their child could have needs suffer anxiety sensory issues im saying he does but you never know the reason why so I suggest maybe keeping opinions to yourself. It’s none of you business everyone parents differently and their is no right or wrong when it comes to parenting children don’t come with instructions and every child is different too. If you can’t say anything nice then don’t say anything at all. No need to be rude and no one forcing you to watch you don’t know them personally or their lives on a few clips filmed on here so your in no place to judge what so ever in anyone. Kindly stop with the rudeness

[@Kimberleyjeanrose]

Amazing Vlog wonderful family ❤

[@doodles3075]

@samharte703, can I ask if you actually have children with that coment? If so do you fly long haul with them? Mine have flown since they were babies, now teens ,you will do anything to keep them settled and quiet not to upset other passengers, even if that means letting them watch the screen all the way there. Or are you one of these passengers that moan at the slightest noise from a child on a plane?
