DISNY WORLD TRAVEL DAY VLOG LONDON TO ORLANDO WITH VIRGIN ATLANTIC UPPER CLASS January 2024
------------------------------------------------------
It is so heartwarming to see this video with your Mum. I lost my mum suddenly in 2023 and I really miss her.
I'm so sorry for your loss - can't imagine the pain. Lots of love
Sorry for the loss of your mum x. I lost my dad in 2019. My dream was to travel with him and to have business class seats. I'll be doing it for the two of us soon.
@@Sam4G0d 🫶🏻
@@megan1445 Thanks Megan. You and your Dad must have had such a special relationship. Just 2 weeks before my Mum passed, she told me she was really excited about the announcement that Disney Cruises would sail out of Singapore (where we live) in 2025. Right now, the thought of going without her makes me really sad. It is brave that you are still honouring your Dad. I hope you have an awesome trip for your Dad and I truly believe he will be there right next to you.
How lovely to share this with your mum ❤ DLP was mine and my mum’s special place i got my love for theme parks from her. Now everytime i visit disneyland i feel like she’s with me 😭❤️❤️ it’s important to make these memories. glad she’s recovering well, hope you are as well.
Aww that's so lovely!
Omg! The best CZcamsr is back!
Aww thank you!
Happy that Mum is doing better and traveling with you - in style no-less.
Im so happy that you could travel with your mum! I used to travel with mine until she got too sick and can’t fly anymore.
I hope you had an amazing trip together, making unforgettable memories. ❤️
And wish you to feel completely healthy!
Ah thank you so much, Stephanie
Good On You For Take Your Mom On Business Class Trip,Great Trip Report
Thanks so much :)
Wow! I just watched this and was loving the posh lounge and the posh upper class flight and then to top it all the posh hotel the Grand Floridian! How amazing to be taking this trip with your Mum and making unique memories together. The best thing about this vlog was your smile, I think you were beaming to be able to take this exciting adventure with your Mum.
Aww thanks so much, Liz
How lovely! The GF is next on my list after previously staying at AKL and PVR.
Such a beautiful resort!
Thanks so much, it really was a dream stay!
I got to take my mom to hawaii twice. the second time was 15 years later. we sat under the famous banyan tree in maui and she just kept saying I cannot believe we are here again. I’ve lost her since but the memoeries are forever.
Aww that’s so lovely!! You’re right, memories last forever. Sending lots of love 💙
Hope you’re healing well sweetheart. Take care ❤
Thank you so much, recovering well :)
I have been realy exited for you to upload again, hope you feel better 😊
Aw thank you so much :)
Awww so lovely to see you post again ❤ your mum is adorable! So lovely to see you enjoying yourselves together after such a hard year.
Thank you so much! 🥹🥹🥰🥰🥰
@@Sam4G0d Thank YOU for your wonderful videos, your kind heart shows in everything you do ❤️
It was great to see your trip to Orlando! It reminded me of mine last August, my layover was also in Atlanta. Thanks a lot for sharing and glad to see that you were able to travel with your mom!
Glad you enjoyed - thanks for watching :)
Great travel day view of non direct. Hope you are recovering well. Nice to have your vlogs back as they are brilliant. Have used your Lille Disneyland Paris Eurostar one for my last trip to Disneyland Paris made it it lot less stressful for me. This one will give me the confidence to do a non direct to Disney world Orlando for one of my next trips. Thank you.
Ahh thanks so much, Charlotte! :) Glad you had a smooth trip through Lille!
I miss you Sam!! Great video I enjoyed it so much like always!! ❤️❤️❤️ I hope you’re healing well,, lots of love ❤️❤️
So glad you enjoyed! Thank you 🥰🥰🥰
So glad your Atlanta connection was without incident. Usually Atlanta has a lot of issues, from delay landing or take off or multiple gate changes, or cancelled flights
Yes, I was nervous about the connection - thankfully we had no issues!
Glad to see a video up hopefully you'll be fully recovered soon
Thanks so much! :)
Wohoo! 🎉 I’ve been looking forward to this series- I thought I heard you say you went with your mum in a previous vlog 😊What a lovely trip to do! I hope you’re feeling better and recovering too. Take it easy x
Ahh thank you so much, Louise! 🥰🥹
Hey Sam I’m happy for you that you can share your passion whit your mother and family very lovely too see. Hopefully you and your mom had a nice holiday together ❤thanks sweetie for sharing your lovely video 💖💖💖
Aw thank you so much! Was a dream to be able to share a few days at Disney World with my mum
@@Sam4G0d how is you mom doing right now is she a little bitter in her walking
So lovely you got to travel with your mum. Hope she’s healing well xx
Thanks so much 🥰
I’m so glad your mum is recovering well. I hope you both had a lovely time! ❤
So happy you were able to travel together so glad to hear your mum is doing well. Hope you both had a fantastic time. It’s been 26 years since my mum passed. Helena xxxx
Aww thanks so much Helena, it was a very special trip. Much love to you 💙
I haven't been to America, but when i fly i always ask for assistance because of my wheelchair (and to pick up the suitcase because i can't do that on my own). And wherever i go, it is always amazing! They always take it serious and are always helpful. Everywhere around the world
Aww, I'm so happy that you got to spend such a special trip with your mum,Sam. And how perfect to travel in comfort, what a stunning lounge to start with, really lovely feel to it. Very intrigued by the Cronut ?? 😛All of the food looked lovely in there. Atlanta airport looked very nice too... good smooth flights but a very long travel day, I'm tired for you both, bless you. Oooh what a lovely resort to enjoy, the stunning GF!!! x
Thanks so much, Debbie :) the cronut was great, but not as amazing as I thought it would be!
I’m glad to see you back hope your recovering Sam and hope your mums well I love watching all your vlogs they give me to many trip ideas. I hope I get to meet you in Disneyland paris one day
Thanks so much! Glad to read 🥰
So amazing to see this. I’m really close to my mom, we’re both really big Disney fans, so we always travel together to DLP and we dream to be able to go to WDW together too one day. Seeing you doing this makes me smile and I feel so happy for you. I can imagine how special it was after all ❤ hope you’ve recovering well ☺️ sending you our love from me and my mom ♥️ (sorry if there’s any errors English is not my first language 🙈)
Aww I love that you get it! Thanks so much
It is so lovely you are doing this trip with your mum and what an amazing way to travel! It is such an awesome flying experience! So excited to see this series! Lovely you are staying at the Grand Floridian too - what a trip!
Thank you, it was a dream!
Welcome back Sam! Glad that you and your mom had a wonderful time. 😊
Thank you 🥰
Great video. I thoroughly enjoyed your journey with your mum ❤
Such a special trip for you & your mum, a long travel day but happy it was so seamless and straightforward. We’ve travelled in-direct through the US before and it’s interesting to see the differences as we didn’t need to collect our bags, which did help to make things easier! Looking forward to seeing the rest of the trip ☺️
Such a lovely vlog Sam. So glad that you have been able to share this holiday with your mum. Isn’t it reassuring that there are still some kind and helpful people like Hanna and s Sisi ( sorry not familiar with this name) . They sound like amazing people. Look forward to seeing you enjoying Disney soon 🤠
So reassuring, and we're so lucky to have come across them on this trip :) They were amazing!
100th thumbs up! Get well Sam 🫶
💙💙💙
7:52 the garden looks so cool!
Loved it!
@@Sam4G0d I bet you did :)
Your mom is so funny! I can't wait to watch this series!
I am so happy to hear your mum is doing better and seeing pictures of the both of you on Instagram. Bless her! AND every time i see your happy face, smiling bright, i cry too! I'm such an emotional person 😅
Something just hits different with travel day videos
Sam I love your hair when you let it stay curly! Fellow curly girl here and I spent years trying to suppress my girls and thought I had frizzy hair but now I realise it was just curly 😂 anyway great blog as always. Love how respectful you are to other people by blurring their faces ❤
Ahh thanks so much :)
Fantastic vlog and very informative- I know you’ll both have a wonderful time x
Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed :)
Love to see you traveling with your Mom! ❤ We also go extra early to the airport when we have lounge access to take advantage of the offerings. Looking forward to the rest of the series!
Thank you! 🥰😊
11:05 was such a banger i was caught by surprise
I loved watching your first day…. Lovely to see you travelling with someone and so nice to see the way you wanted to make sure she had the most wonderful time!
So glad you enjoyed :) Thank you!
Yay I'm so excited for this vlog series! Lovely to see you traveling with your mother. I hope you are both doing well after your respective health issues.
Thanks so much 💙🥹

Wow, what a great way to travel. Nice to see you in Orlando again!!
Thank you! 🥰
your back hope you are doing well Sam :) - And have fun with your fun.
Thank you 🥰
Really great video, Sam! I came back from Disney World a little over a week ago, and I had no idea you could take those salt and pepper shakers home until now! And glad we have the same taste in Disney men - Goofy's my boy ;) Glad to see your mum is doing much better.
I didn't know, either! Yey for Goofy love :) Thank you, and hope you had an amazing time too x
@@Sam4G0d Aside from completely wrecking my knee, I had a lovely time. A bit too hot, though!
Hi Sam I hope your doing well after your last video ❤ also I’m really happy that your treating your mom to a trip to Walt Disney world you mother & daughter will have such a great time x enjoy your flight ✈️ ❤🏰🌴
Make Sure to introduce your mom to so many place at Disney world 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Ahh thank you so much :)
welcome back. good to see you are on the mend. take it slow.
Thank you 🥹
Back!
WeAAayyyy hi Sam 👋🏿 ❤
Hey Sam, I hope your mum has a good experience in Disney World. I'm just wondering when you're home if you could do a video on DAS? I can't see us going back this year, but I think my mum and I might eventually take my niece back to Disneyland but since then Mum has had a serious knee operation and I would be interested in mobility options for her.
Thank you :) We didn't end up needing to use DAS, and just took things very slow and only did a few rides (my mum isn't keen on rides) x
Welcome back to Florida. 🏝️
Thank you! :)
I flew into NY to fly on to San Francisco, and had to bag drop. But we didn't on the return flight from Atlanta to Manchester. That was with Virgin/ Delta .
Ooh interesting!
Hi I’m flying VA to Atlanta next weekend for a connection to San Antonio Texas. Please can you tell me what the connection is like? Do you need to collect bags and recheck in? How do you change terminals? How smooth is customs? I’m stressed to the high hilt because I don’t know what I’m doing 😂😭
Yeah i didn't like Virgin Upper Class much. I like the lounge at Heathrow. I found one of the staff very nasty to me on my flight. It was 2nd virgin upper class flight and i wanted to see the difference between lying down n bed mode to just having the seat. As i slept lying down on my 1st flight and found it to be amazing as i arrived to Orlando really fresh. So on this flight she was annoyed at me for to having my seat turned into a bed and was very hostile about it with me. The experience really made me consider whether i would fly upper class again. Plus the food options are not to my taste or the drink options. I think the lounge is probably best eat up on food and drink there.
Agreed, the lounge is the best thing about Virgin Upper Class - but I appreciate being able to sleep on any plane :)
@@Sam4G0d
Yeah, as it may be a customer's first time or 2nd time. I think the staff should be aware that a customer may want to try the flight out differently to see what makes the flight the best for them. Admittedly the seat being flat is better for sleeping but I like to try it out to make sure. I wish they could serve things more tailored to my tastes. Have a Chris menu that is selected when he flies with us.
I see you are at the grand Floridian a great hotel. Have they finished the re-modeling of the foyer. I enjoyed the foyer on my visit. Would have loved to see inside the wedding venue to see the magnifying glass, that makes Cinderella's castle bigger at the right distance. So it looks like the castle is in-between the bridge and groom.
From Kenya good job sister
Thank you! 😊
The pelotons is where the spa used to be. Such a shame as so many lost their jobs
Oh no, I didn’t know! That IS a shame x
@Sam4G0d another interesting fact is on the slightly older style configuration of upper class you can stay laying down when the seatbelt sign comes on as long as you use the flatbed seatbelt
I hope you Mom does OK in Disneyworld. I just got back on a trip to Disneyworld with my niece and Grandniece. I had a major knee and leg surgery the end of October, I am 70 and the trip was much harder on me than I had anticipated. I did really well on day 1 and 2, day 3 at Epcot was awful, then day 4 at animal kingdom was good. All in all I had a wonderful time, I should have stayed longer to rest more and I should have rented a scooter too! I hope you both had a wonderful trip.
Ahh thank you! Glad you were able to have a wonderful time overall :) My mum and I took it VERY slow, and only spent a few hours in the park every day. It was a different kind of trip for me, but I let my mum choose what she feels most comfortable with, and her limit was only a few hours in each park - so we made the most of the resort
Is it expensive to get upper class tickets?
Hi Sam I r obert gouulď l I love you 😍 💗 xxxx
