[@theburgesses2004]

Thanks Rob. Trying to edit as well as sort Christmas is definitely time consuming. Hope you both have a wonderful Christmas too. Xx

Great video - really helpful! I can’t wait to see the follow up vid on Avanti. I’ve booked to stay at Avanti but Google reviews are making me apprehensive. Recommendations for which building would be really appreciated! Thank you 😃

[@theburgesses2004]

Thank you, I’m just editing the resort tour now so hopefully be up in a few days. I talk about each of the buildings in the vid xx

Just found your channel! I live in Tampa flying to Gatwick in July. That’s crazy you park your car and leave the key there for them? In tampa we have garage parking where you buy your pass for specific dates then scan a QR code at the gate and park your car and go. Lol😊

[@theburgesses2004]

Gatwick and Heathrow have so many car parks it just depends how much you’re willing to pay. We always used to choose the keep the keys option but it’s rarer now. Some car parks your car stays on site and they park it for you (that’s the one we use) but some can drive your car off site. Don’t like the sound of that. Have fun coming over here? Holiday or visiting family? X

I was literally in that Chilli's a month ago! Wish I was there!

[@theburgesses2004]

Ah were you. I think I might need to go back 😃

[@IntheeyesofMorbo]

Va and Florida american here. If the portions are too much fyi maybe get the leftovers to go. Its expected most places in the us. Id try to get a hotel rm with a small fridge and microwave to save cash. Plenty of decent grocery stores around tampa and st Pete i go to publix for higher end and aldis for bargains

[@theburgesses2004]

Great idea to save money if you’re a leftover person. I like your thinking 😃

[@charlottearcher377]

Love watching your volgs can I ask where the colouring book was from and the pens please

[@theburgesses2004]

Ah thank you. Oh the colouring book is old. Think it was off Amazon. Pens were Tesco x

[@davidevans6052]

[@theburgesses2004]

[@jamebruno5640]

hope you enjoyed your trip TPA is a much easier airport than MCO!

[@theburgesses2004]

100% and cheaper 😃

[@jackhopkins9618]

what are the shuttles like to/from the hotel to/from the parks?? don’t most of the parks shut around 9-11pm? yet the last shuttles back are stated at approx 9pm on the Avanti website? surely missing out on a lot of the shows etc at the 11pm closing parks

[@theburgesses2004]

From memory when we did use the shuttles there was only one evening shuttle back but we never used it. The park closing time varies. December it was 6/7pm so assuming the shuttle times may vary through the year too. Universal don’t really have a late every night show like the Disney parks. They have a light show on select nights in Universal and over in Islands it’s the Harry Potter castle projection but that runs every 15 mins or so when it gets dark. Another option to the hotel shuttle is catch the Endless Summer hotel shuttle and walk the 10mins back to the hotel, Uber or walk. X

@@theburgesses2004 amazing, thank you so much :)

[@jman1948]

Why did you fly into TPA when MCO is closer and has that brand-new terminal?

[@theburgesses2004]

Because TPA was and has been around £1k cheaper than MCO for the 4 of us. I think I’m yet to hear a good thing about the new terminal. Tampa is a great airport. X

[@run.ib7]

Watching now before I go to work 🙂 as you know I love your Florida vlogs 🙂

[@theburgesses2004]

Ah thanks Ian. Hope works ok and it helped get you thru 😄

[@pat82tw]

Your videos are ‘Off the hinge’ Gemma 😂

[@theburgesses2004]

That cracked me up. 🤣

[@ross4lfc107]

Great to see you are back. I went out with the family in August 2022 and would love to go out again, but too £$$£ cost. My trip in august was over £20K (3weeks Car/Villa/Flights/Tickets/Food). Have fun guys.

[@theburgesses2004]

Oh wow. Big family or just lots of expensive meals out 😅 xx

[@alanlister8810]

Thanks, looking forward to the vlogs.

[@theburgesses2004]

Thanks Alan x

[@MrEdwinhardesty]

Chili's has the best tortilla chips around. We'll just pick some up to go and bring them home. The rest of the food there is barely ok. Good prices though.

[@theburgesses2004]

They were nice. 😋

[@GITV22]

Did you use mobile data or what app did you use for the SatNav?

[@theburgesses2004]

Yes mobile data. I have an international package on my contract which gives me access x

[@jensonwainwright]

What will the new satnaive be called 😂

[@theburgesses2004]

Good Question Jenson. Might take Margaret with us 😂

When will the next vlog be added?😊

[@theburgesses2004]

I’m working on it 😃

[@AandSTravels]

Do you Home School or just take Abby and Jake out of school???

[@theburgesses2004]

God help them if I home schooled. No. We took them out. Most trips happen during school holidays or over insert days xx

[@lisacrane3143]

Cheaper to take food with you instead at airport

[@theburgesses2004]

Hence my comment about taking a suitcase of food for the plane 😝
