Nothing better than waking up and knowing you are about to go to Orlando. It's some feeling.

[@HackettFamily]

Very true

[@dominicrice1]

Love a travel day vlog…

[@HackettFamily]

Us too

[@Kestrel029]

Can I ask what row seats you had? We've booked just wanting a better idea of where we'll be sat. Thanks, great video!

[@HackettFamily]

Sorry, honestly can’t remember, just tried to check if it’s on our Virgin account and it isn’t. We think it was round row 50-55. But can’t be sure. Sorry, can the much more help, but thanks for watching.

[@Kestrel029]

@HackettFamily that's good enough for me, we're 48 so not too dissimilar. Thanks

[@lilywillson1203]

I always get so excited when you guys are going back to Florida! I haven’t been in 2 year and itching to go back soon. I hope you guys have the best time 💜 🇦🇺

[@HackettFamily]

Argh, thank you Lily. We’re actually back home now after a 3 week trip and it was incredible. Hopefully the vlogs will show our enjoyment.

[@rosalyngraham1264]

Watching this vlog whilst waiting for our flight back to Manchester from MCO. 😁 Can't wait for the rest of the series! Keep up the great content 👏

[@HackettFamily]

Oh wow, thank you Rosalyn. It’s like we’re back in MCO 😂 Hope you’ve had some rest on the flight and had an amazing trip.

[@alexandermulder651]

Did you get a vacation rental in Celebration? If so, please share where as I've never been able to find anything there.

[@HackettFamily]

I’m afraid not. It’s a friends house, that we’re kind enough to allow us to stay.

[@mars2100]

Yaa , the gang is back, looking forward to sharing your adventures.

[@HackettFamily]

Thanks Andy

[@jennylofty179]

[@HackettFamily]

[@TheKershawsAdventures]

Great travel day guys! Makes us miss that MAN-MCO route 😂 virgin is the best. Looking forward to seeing your adventures! - best way to get over jet lag? Rope drop MK the next day 😂

[@HackettFamily]

Ha ha. Thanks guys and so lovely to meet up in Orlando. Yeah, we think the Virgin - man-mco route is the best too, especially now with the lovely new planes. Of all the people to recommend rope drop, we weren’t expecting it to be you guys 😂. You’re like a new family 😂

[@carljacobs8453]

Love watching your vlogs getting us in the mood for our 1st Disney trip next year! My wife wants to know where you got scarlets joggers from that she’s wearing for travel day please she loves them! X

[@HackettFamily]

Thanks Carl. They were from Primark.

[@chesworthsadventures547]

We got stopped for blinking wet wipes as well!! In a packet they look like liquid…next time you’ll have to pack them individually! 😂😂

[@HackettFamily]

Ha ha. They will go in with the girls toiletries next time 🙈🙈

[@johnrobbo916]

[@HackettFamily]

Thank you John. We’re home now, but had an incredible time and can’t wait to share it all. Have a great time next March. Your daughter will make it amazing for you all.

[@darrengreen5231]

Great travel day, I've got the app for security so hopefully ours is as quick as yours was....are virgin still generous with the drinks trolley ?.....

[@HackettFamily]

Thanks Darren. Appreciate worked great. I think the crew came round with the trolley maybe 3 times and then with the two meals and as always, were lovely.

[@DavidMartin-xh8vt]

Great to see you back Thought that was water in that Glass at Breakfast lol silly me ! that trip sitting at the front of the shuttle train looked as good as a Disney ride It seems so unreal one minute your in Manchester next your eating Pizza in Florida loved the vlog Have a great holiday thanks for letting me share

[@HackettFamily]

Thanks David. Yeah, it’s amazing isn’t it, that we can fly so far to such amazing experiences.

[@Hayley-w4r]

Hi there, great vlog! Can I ask, we are going to Florida soon and want to use the MPC you used, however I’ve noticed that Terminal A does not show as an option at MCO for terminal arrival so wonder what you selected? Many thanks 😁

[@HackettFamily]

Hello. It’s available for Terminal B (which Virgin use) and Terminal C (which BA and Aer Lingus use). Not 100% sure, but think Terminal A is usually for internal USA flights.

[@Hayley-w4r]

Thanks for the reply, I googled and looked at virgin app and it says Virgin Arrives and departs from Terminal A, although they look pretty close to each other, I will select B. thanks for the info! 👍🏻

[@HackettFamily]

Yeah, I just did the same. We obviously flew direct with Virgin and i think we clicked Terminal B and worked fine for us. I’ll try and look over the screen recording I did and see if that part was included.

[@Hayley-w4r]

@@HackettFamily Thank you!

[@HackettFamily]

I e just watched it back and my screen grab was from when we landed and I filled the last part in. I’m pretty sure I clicked Terminal B, if A wasn’t given as an option.

[@ultanwoods]

Enjoyed the Vlog. Looking forward to the series

[@HackettFamily]

Thank you. That’s very kind of you.

@@HackettFamily Yes I did hears something that will make Scarlett and Sienna laugh I was playing golf and accidentally hit the ball so hard it flew into the water and I couldn’t stop laughing. They will love it

[@familyjones689]

Guys, can you advise if you place the whole family on the one MPC application or did you have to do individually

[@HackettFamily]

All were done on one

[@familyjones689]

@@HackettFamily me and the misses fly out next Friday and are going to use it. Great vlogs, enjoy your trip.

[@HackettFamily]

@@familyjones689 have a great time. We’re home now unfortunately. Our trip was August.

[@LiamWebb-r1b]

Love your vlogs and glad to have a new series! It definitely helps my own Orlando cravings!! What vlogging camera do you use? :)

[@HackettFamily]

Thank you Liam. Mainly, I use my iPhone 15 Pro Max.

[@jodielodge2222]

I would say a tip of what we do but no matter what we try we always seem to wake up around 3am 🙈 so it’s American TV to try to fall back asleep! Although a tip for the first day is make sure you have some breakfast ready to eat as we always seem to wake up really hungry and at 3am there is not a lot of places to buy food 😂

[@HackettFamily]

We’ve found fighting through the first night and going to bed as late as possible really helps. Hence why we go to the parks or Disney Springs. It’s worked for us on the last 3-4 trips and we’ve slept in past 6am.

[@jodielodge2222]

@@HackettFamilywill defo try this next August when we go again 😊

[@GITV22]

You mentioned you went off site for car hire this time. What company did you use / website?

Thank you

[@sarahbutcher4835]

Sorry if I missed you saying in the vlog but how come there’s a cat where you staying? Love your vlogs and look forward to watching your trip to Disney!!

[@HackettFamily]

It’s a friends house, who were kind enough to allow us to stay and the cat (Bella) lives there. 😂 Thanks.

[@sarahbutcher4835]

Thanks for your reply! Now makes sense! Sorry I am sure you also explained in your video 🥴, I do pay attention honest lol!!

[@TheGilesFamilyAdventures]

You buy your tickets when you get there. Is that the cheapest way to do it. Rather than something like attraction tickets. And where from? 😊

[@HackettFamily]

Hello. No we upgraded to Annual Passes, which we set up last October. If just buying a 14 day pass, you’re best doing in the UK. We can help on Hackett Family Travels.

[@carljacobs8453]

Sorry to jump on we go next year and have our 14 day ticket included but wanting MNSSHP tickets and Halloween horror nights tickets can you sort these please?

[@HackettFamily]

@@carljacobs8453 it this far in advance Carl. They are not on sale yet for Aug 25. But we can get them.

[@carljacobs8453]

@@HackettFamily we go October 2025 so when should we get in touch for you to sort them please?
