Hey
I’m Gemma, hubby is Ian and then there’s Jake and Abigail. We’re the Burgesses.
The kids introduced us to You Tube before our 1st ever trip to Florida in 2017 and I’ve loved watching people’s holiday vlogs ever since. I love watching everyone’s adventures. It helps me plan our own adventures and keeps the Disney blues away 😂 in between trips.
We decided to make our own little vlogs and share them with all you lovely viewers and hope you enjoy watching us have fun and maybe even get some ideas for your trips too.
Thanks for watching 😘 xx

Totally get it. Loved the video as always xx
Aww really felt for you , that happened to us once but it was a villa , and I’m not a snob but when you have worked and saved hard I know where you are coming from
Looking forward to see where you stay next xx
Excellent vlog on returning to Florida mainland and the day at Universal. Did you get the glasses? Keep them in a locked cupboard to avoid breakages, haha. Gemma, please don't change the way you review things. I love the way your so honest. One of the Rosen hotels which is great is Rosen Shingle Creek Hotel. I've not stayed there but the Hamilton family have. See their vlog. Not cheap but excellent views from top floors.
Another great vlog guys. Just a little tip if you hadn't thought of it already...... instead of leaving via the chaos of walking through citywalk, back through security and up through the parking garage to the sometimes chaotic uber pickup spot on top of the parking structure...... leave the parks via the walkway next to the Universal arch that leads down towards the walkway to Hard Rock Hotel, its a lovely quiet little walk that takes around 7 minutes and order the Uber from the Hard Rock Hotel entrance. Way less stressful, especially at busier times in the evening when parks close etc.
We love your vlogs and your honest opinion is what makes them so good. Don’t feel bad, you’ve paid a lot of money to go there and you need to enjoy it! 😊
It’s not being snobby, you just have a certain standard that you’ve come to expect and when a hotel falls below that standard then no wonder you’re upset, I would be too. Don’t apologise for having an opinion either, you’re entitled to have one and I don’t think anyone watching this would disagree with you or think you were being snobby or unreasonable. Love the vids, keep em coming!
Hi has always love your honesty its not being a snob, totally understand why you did it that way ,my family would not like that, we have been thinking of the Avanti for our next visit ,maybe a split stay with port Orleans french quarter for the disney side of things. We have stayed in surfside and the rooms themselfs are a fantastic layout, the hotel has everything you want, but we had to change rooms because of noisy neighbours and the room they gave us wasn't much better they have wooden floors and all you could hear was furniture being moved around all night, so we wouldn't stay there again, cabana bay was good, we would stay there again, Hard Rock hotel club level was good ,just need to win the lottery to stay there again 😂, you do get spoilt when you have stayed in a villa, just you need a car and it all adds up then.look forward to seeing where you end up. Also how do you go about getting your phone to work in the usa , I fail every time, planning on New York next year, and need the phone when we land to get a taxi . You have definitely sold caribbean cruise to me though, looks so beautiful sitting on the balcony .thank you x x
What people are looking for in these blogs are honesty and authenticity !! Love your vlogs
Appreciate your honesty and like you said it's your opinion, and it doesn't suit your family and your holiday. My sister had a nightmare stay with Avanti and wouldn't recommend anyone to stay there but I know you guys love it, we've stayed at Rosen International and Lake Buena Vista and we enjoyed our stay (I think it's part a nostalgia thing having stayed in them a few times with parents growing up), but they are super dated rooms and now our own children are older would likely look elsewhere now (Surfside is on the radar!). Thanks again for sharing your experiences :)
I stayed there when I was 11 and 15 with my parents (probably all the could afford then to be able to take us) and again with my husband then boyfriend when we were in our early twenties. It’s a good location and a great an option when I drive was all the rave in the nineties, especially if you were going to rope drop to close. Times and tastes have changed and hotels modernised. Tbh I would stay again if all I could afford and but would rather pay a bit more and stay somewhere a newer nowadays especially with my primary schooler. Stayed on site at Disney Coronado springs last time we went 2 years ago and didn’t rate that either to be fair. I too want to try endless summer or an apartment/ villa next.
You couldn’t pay me to stay there they smell disgusting
Is that hotel opposite the up side down house. Use to be quality In plaza. I stayed when I was 15, 27 years ago.
Thank you so much for your honesty about the Rosens, I always see them on offer and as we would be going for a long stay I'd hate to book there for 14 nights! Great vlog as usual 😊
Don’t feel bad if you don’t like it that’s your opinion. I would go to the desk and ask for a refund and move.
Another good honest Vlog - which ride in Florida do you prefer over Hyperia? We loved Hyperia and thought it was better than Velocoicoaster, yet to do the sea world coasters - there in November - a;so we are looking at a Disney cruise for next year or a Royal one, we have just done Anthem of the seas and loved it, why did you think the Disney one was better?
You're not wrong at all, you are entitled to your opinion just like anyone else. When people are travelling they have to do what is right for them. It costs way too much money to accept less that what you expect from your holiday. My partner and I go to Florida, to visit with my sons who live there and our hotel base is just that, somewhere to keep our clothes, shower and sleep, very little time is spent there so we book the Rosen, and know exactly what we're getting and are always happy with our choice. Doing the whole Disney thing is more important to us and isn't affordable without the budget accommodation. I do agree they're not the most aesthetically pleasing rooms, but the grounds are always nice, the staff are mostly friendly and it suits us just fine. I can Imagine the I-4 noise being problematic if it bothers you, as someone who lives on the flight path very close to Manchester airport, I'm used to loud noise at night and find it quite comforting. I hope you are able to move somewhere more enjoyable for you, I'm looking forward to finding out where. Would you please tell us how your refund worked out and if it was a major issue or not.
I agree with you we didn’t find it very clean and it is very noisy from the I4 and people passing under the windows .Endless summer is far more modern and clean and is good value .
I agree about the Rosen inns, we stayed in one a couple of years ago for one night, never again, it's not being snobby it's about your holiday and everyone is different 😎
We’re all not going to like the same thing, don’t feel bad. Like you said it’s your holiday! We’ve stayed in Rosen Inn Lake Buena Vista twice and really didn’t mind it. But there’s only 2 of us and to be fair we normally sleep in a bed each 😂 we’re actually staying at Avanti this year and all the reviews made me nervous but knowing you prefer Avanti Palms over Rosen gives me hope😂
As someone who cares about the people and wants to give an unforgettable experience. I appreciate the honesty in these vlogs and reviews. I'll try my best to make an incredible hotel that isn't just more perfect but affordable for even the common man. Cheers to dreams.
It doesn’t look bad. We all book our holidays and pay with our hard earned cash! We wouldn’t stay outside Disney (we love Pop) if we loved universal we would do cabana bay or endless summer they are so reasonable! You’re entitled to Your opinion and it is not somewhere we would ever stay!
PLEASE PlEASE PLEASE…! Try Endless Summer next time..!!! The one bedroom suites would be ideal for your family, I promise 😋👍🏻 we are staying there in September
You should try the Rozen Plaza, it’s lovely. That one would drive me mad though
We agree about the Rosen's, not for us either, it's difficult to explain what they are like unless you've stayed in one, your honesty is appreciated x
Great vlog. Love your honesty. I would not like it either to be fair. Your holiday works your way, so thanks for sharing😊
We love the pointe orlando Rosen. Never had a problem. Each to their own 😊 we don't go in the school hols tho. So that makes a difference as its so quiet. Shame you weren't given a refurbed room.
I always get scared trying new accommodation because we feel exactly the same as you...we work hard and save hard and it's a horrible feeling when what you've paid for doesn't make you feel happy, don't feel guilty for having an opinion and for wanting a nice hotel room, we all have different expectations and that's ok
Ur only sleeping in the room
Totally agree with you on the Rosen hotels never thought you were being snobby, we stayed there on our first family visit in 2015 and although we enjoyed our stay I wouldn’t stay again but that’s our opinion, prefer Endless Summer hotels 👍🏼
Another great vlog , As I said in the last Rosen review we don’t like outside corridors .. not being snobby but I totally agree about the review of Rosen .. looking forward to your next vlog x
Thanks for being so honest ❤
👍👍
Guys love your vlogs but why are they so blurry 😢
Good on you for your honesty. You are entitled to your opinion. Noises keep families awake.
Cat 🐈 was saying take me with you!… dog 🐕 was saying I’ll have the bed 🛌 while you’re gone
No way is that food worth that money - all restaurants are too expensive and small portions in City Walk
Didn’t know figment existed?! Looks like an old ride from the 80’s… saw the China 🇨🇳 video but not Canada 🇨🇦 will make sure we see that next time
This is one of the reasons I’m not sold on booking a cruise my husband is terrified of getting a tummy bug as he has been seriously ill before with norovirus and I suffer with terrible motion sickness 😢 so we enjoy so much watching your vlogs as gives us an insight into cruising. You missed a golden opportunity to call the chicken hei hei we both shouted at the tv look it’s hei hei 😂
Can’t wait to try Space 220 restaurant 🎉
I am somehow sad to see the cruise vlogs finished but looking forward to the Universal vlogs ❤ About the virus did they ever say how many people got sick? Oh gosh the water park story 😮 I would have left right away 😅 Cya in the next vlog
I really hope Ian got the things for his feet I feel his pain and the insoles really will make a big difference , the cruises look fantastic thanks for sharing 👍
He didn’t. The problem was we felt like we were being ripped off and without access to the internet we couldn’t tell. He hasn’t looked into it since we’ve been home. Loved the cruises. Thanks for watching 😃
Awww great video! Have so enjoyed them. Would love to know if you prefer the cruising to just staying in Orlando.
Oh that’s too hard of a question. We missed not being in Florida the whole time and having a villa and doing our usual holiday but we loved the cruises. Next time we need longer than a week in Florida - say 10 days Florida 7 nt cruise 😄. Oh Ian - better wake up and go to work coz I’m getting ideas 🤣🤣
@@theburgesses2004 lol. Go to work Ian! 😆😆. Yeah, that would be our worry tbh. We absolutely love staying in a Villa, shopping, theme parks etc. we’d hate to miss that!!! I so agree with you. My husband said he’d prefer to try one out of Southampton (Son did uni there so we saw the ships) than travel to Florida and cruise from there. Thank you for your answer 😘
@@teresasteward7533 Cruising from Southampton is great (We can walk to the cruise terminal. Don’t fancy it with all the cases though 😬). Only thing is you don’t get the Bahamas. A med cruise is nice though. We want to do the Fjords one day. X
Enjoyed this very much
Ah thank you ☺️
Excellent episode on your half day at Coco Cay. I think if they had told the passengers, the real reason from the start rather than people guessing. Hopefully you all had great time once you got on the island. Great content and see you all arriving back in Florida.
I think as well fair enough they were delaying the getting off because they were concerned about the virus (which in all honestly and from rumors I think it may have actually been food poisoning) but the fact they said hey we have the all clear now. Just a few more minutes whilst we sort out the gangway and then it taking almost 2 hours before they start letting people off. It just turns into a waiting game. Oh well. We still have a lovely afternoon and hope to go back for a full day another time 😃
Cruise life or no cruise life?? That is the question 😁
Oh we’ve always enjoyed cruise life. But I think 7 nts cruise and then only 7nts Florida wasn’t enough time. I need 10nights Florida and 7nts cruise 😃
@@theburgesses2004 Do Jake & Abbie like the Cruise life? Slower pace etc or do they feel similar to you?
@@run.ib7 They are the reason why we booked the cruises! They wanted to go on another so we incorporated them into the trip. They both said though they missed the villa and agree longer in Florida but add a cruise again. We will see. X
I’m the exact same as you it someone is peeling! I can’t leave it 😂 it’s a shame they delayed you getting off so long. I’m on Allure at the end of April, after it’s had a big refurbishment when it’s sailing from Barcelona.x
Oh I love it. Literally pinned Ian and Jake down. Abbie was like don’t you dare 😝 Oh amazing. To be honest I don’t think it needs a lot of work. Just the rooms. I think the main dining areas and promenade deck etc all looked great. Hope you have the best time. 😃
Great vlog guys - shame about the delay getting off 😮
Thank you. Hopefully we will go again one day and can spend the whole day. 🏝️
Fab vlog as ever , so glad to see you finally got off the ship to and see Coco Cay , oh and well done Abi and Jake on the waterpark filming enjoyed that too ❤
I know. It wasn’t looking promising. Yes I’m so glad they recorded a little for me even if most of it was upside down 🙃 (don’t worry, I flipped the footage to the right way round) 😂
Really enjoying your vlogs
Ah thank you. ☺️ x
Can I ask, we’re a big family and planning a trip to Orlando next year. Disney park tickets are pricey. Do you have any suggestions on where to buy them for the best price etc? Thank you in advance xx
Honestly Disney tickets are expensive no matter where you buy them. Best bet is to keep an eye out for discounts. We always buy from attraction tickets or Floridatix but wait until they have a deal. Sometimes adults for kids prices or 5/7/10% off. I use a cash back app called Quidco too. A lot of the times they have say 5% cash back when you buy through a certain site. Xx
@@theburgesses2004 thank you so much for the advice and help! I will be sure to keep an eye out for some discounts and money back offers! We are so excited to be planning our Disney adventure xxx
