It's a entire Walt Disney World holiday in one super long vlog! We begin with our Orlando travel day, flying from Manchester UK, to Orlando International with Virgin Atlantic before boarding the Mears Connect (driven by sunshine) and checking-in to Disney's Coronado Spings Resort near Disney Animal Kingdom Resort Area. This trip was a blast, we hope you enjoy the video.

Travel Day | Day 1
Hi I'm Andrew, joined by my eldest daughter Ava & welcome to Travel Day of our NEW Disney World Orlando Florida Vlog Series! Join us on our Travel Day from Manchester UK to Orlando Florida & Walt Disney World Resort for 10 Days of Fun, Sun and world class attractions!
Upon arrival to Orlando, we'll be boarding the "Mears Connect Driven By Sunshine" airport transfer (silly long name, but great service) and checking in to Walt Disney World's Coronado Springs Resort (in the Animal Kingdom resort area) for 7 nights before transferring to the Swan Hotel (found in the Epcot Resort area) for 3 nights. No car for us this time, we're going full Disney Transport only - let's see how that works out for us!
Oh yeah, and we get our first taste of the Orlando weather for this trip in the form of heat and of course a massive thunder storm! It's good to be back.
Day 2 | Magic Kingdom & a Little bit of Epcot-
Welcome to day 1 of our Florida/Disney World vlog series 2023. In this vlog we'll be visiting Walt Disney World's famous Magic Kingdom theme park to take in the sights & sounds, enjoy the attractions and of course sample some of the food! Later we'll be heading off to Epcot to take a Ride on Spaceship Earth and enjoy the Epcot Forever fireworks - plus do a bit of shopping at the Creations Shop.
Day 3 | EPCOT
It's Day 3 of our Sept 2023 Florida/Walt Disney World Vlog series.

Day 4 | Hollywood Studios & RAIN!
We visit Disney World's Hollywood Studios for early entry! We got to sample many of the best Disney Rides the Studios has to offer including dropping in to the Hollywood Tower, piloting the Millennium Falcon, taking a trip around Andy's backyard on the Slinky Dog Dash Coaster and letting Goofy take us on his own "guided tour" in Mickey and Minnie's Run away Railway. Later we head out to Magic Kingdom, it didn't go well. You'll have to watch to find out why, I know, I know, I'm a tease aren't I? All in all though another Magical Day at Walt Disney World!
Day 5 | Animal Kingdom & Magic Kingdom
We visit Disney World's Animal Kingdom for early entry! We ride many of the best Disney Rides Animal Kingdom has to offer early in the day before heading back to the resort for some well deserved R&R! Later we head out to Magic Kingdom for Fun and Fireworks!
Day 6 | Moving to The Swan Hotel & Extended Evening Hours at EPCOT
It's Travel Day again! We move Hotels from Disney's Coronado Springs Resort in the Animal Kingdom Resort Area to The Swan Hotel which is located close by in the EPCOT Resort Area of Walt Disney World. We'll be sharing a tour of our room with you before taking the short walk to EPCOT for delicious food & to take advantage of the Extended Evening opening hours perk that comes with staying at a Disney World Deluxe level Resort.
Day 7 | ALL DAY Magic Kingdom w/ Extended Opening and Epic Thunder Storm!
Welcome to day 7 of our Florida/Disney World vlog series 2023 A Vlog of two Halves! This Vlog begins EARLY in the morning at a lovely hot and sunny Magic Kingdom theme park. We start our day by enjoying some of our less frequented attractions, such as the Walt Disney World Railroad, The Country Bears Jamboree and the Liberty Belle River Boat plus we get some tasty food from Peco's Bills Tall Tale Inn and Cafe and even catch the Festival of Fantasy Parade. Later in the day however a major storm sweeps across Walt Disney World and threatens to scupper our plans to enjoy the extended evening opening hours offered to guests staying at Disney Deluxe Resorts! But we were not about to let a little (well, al lot) of rain dampen our spirts for long so it was on with the old Poncho and back to a near deserted Magic Kingdom for some shopping and late night rides! All in all a very fun , if slightly damp day was had by all 🤣
Day 8/Travel Day Home with delays!
Travel DAY! (home, boo) this vlog begins with us checking out of the Swan Hotel before enjoying some lunch and exploring Disney's Boardwalk resort area, we even had ice cream (which was delicious by the way) everything was going great until disaster struck, a WHOPPING delay on our flight back to Manchester 😭
