- Join me and Laura for an action packed day back in Orlando! Starting by disembarking Wonder of The Seas cruise ship at Port Canaveral, we head down the I4 to Universal Orlando Resort to Islands of Adventure for early Park entry with our Annual Passes. We managed to ride Velocicoaster before the Park officially opened! After a caffeine hit at Starbucks, we also rode Spiderman, Dr Doom's Fear fall, Jurassic Park River adventure, The Hulk Rollercoaster and explored some of the shops inside the park including the Halloween and Christmas stores. Of course, I couldn't resist a go on the water sprayers at Popeye's Barges as well!
We then head to Publix Supermarket at Celebration on highway 192 to get some shopping and see what they had in store and also the pricing. The prices of the British products shocked us however we do love the Publix Deli and the Key Lime Cheesecake is one of my favourites!
To finish of our Magical day we head to Disney Springs to eat in Splitsville Restaurant for some delicious food before some drinks in The House of Blues Bar which had some great live music on. We also checked out the M&M's store too along with the Disney Style store! What a very busy day!

Every Florida vlog gets me excited knowing we are going back with half the family in August 2025 , and we can book the accommodation in August this year and the flights in Jan 😁, I don't want to wish my life away but can't wait 😂
As a fellow scouser, listening to your commentary when spraying the people in universal, is hilarious! “Have a bit of that luv!” 😂

We love spiderman , he was my favourite super hero when I was a kid with Thor a close second 😁
Jam packed full of content. Loved it Andrew. Villa looks amazing! 🥰🌞🥰Xxx
Glad you enjoyed it
Totally agree with you both about the vibe of Universal now. When we went last year I enjoyed Universal more than I ever have in the past. Loved the vlog
Totally agree!
Watching all your florida vlogs has made me want to go. It has near interested me before. Thanks for all the vlogs x
You’re welcome 😊
Love a Publix trip, their Cuban rolls are sooo good and we always get the chicken tenders. Need to go back ASAP.
Great vlog folks and thanks for sharing. Gives me my Florida fix till our next visit. Done hulk 3 times on the run last visit and head was thumping all day 🤯 just once on next visit.
Sounds great!
I’m so with you! I love Spider-Man and my all time favorite is spraying people with the guns! I’m an Absolute menace when it comes to that!
“Look at these with the ponchos, have a bit of this” 😂😂😂
I would love to spray people with you!
Hahaha love it 😂🤣
It was a very good Florida road trip blog day 6 today of you chilling out and relaxing on Islands of adventure and all the rides in universal it was a very good shopping blog today when you visited publix shopping and Disney springs chilling out and relaxing having your dinner and some drinks in splitsville dining room for the Florida vibes andrew and Laura / Garvey family aswell
Yes it was!
Hi Andrew and Laura love the vlogg but the highlight for me is watching u on the water thingy,s love love love it 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍👍👍🥰🥰🥰
Glad you enjoyed it 😂😂
Great vlog 👍🏻 always happy to see you at the water guns 💦🤣
We 💚 the Hulk rollercoaster 🎢
Awesome 😎
Soarin at Epcot would be my first wake up ride that's for sure nice and mellow and put you in a good mood for the day.
Great ride
Spider man definitely the best ride ever 💪
Great ride
We liked house of blues to ,and moonshine 😂
Clam chowder you don’t know what you are missing it’s fantastic
Ewww no lol 😂
We really like the breakfast at the three broomsticks in Hollywood (annual pass holder 😉🤣), pretty decent value for money and great atmosphere!
Good to know!
I agree about hulk coaster ,We went on it last year and I’ll never go on again it’s too much. It goes on and on and on aswell😂
For sure lol headache all day 😂
The Villa is (whisper) AMAZING ❤❤❤❤
Thank you 😊
Great vlog 👍 love velocicoaster ❤
The best!
So wish I had the nerve to do Velocicoaster, bottled it last year & will probably do it again this year 😂 the height and upside down doesn’t bother me but the speed does. I can do anything else no problem !!! Loving these vlogs x
You can do it!
A great action packed and informative vlog once again. Still scratching my head at $4 for a tin of heinz beans 😲.
Oh and thx again for making me hungry, can never watch any of your vlogs without that feeling at the end.
Thx again Andrew and Laura for giving your valuable time to take us all along. 😊
You and me both!
We rode velocicoaster front row.....was nuts loved every second!
Amazing ride!
Great vlog guys 👍🏻
Thank you 😁
Velocicoaster front row can’t be beaten, night time as well is incredible
Indeed 🙌🏼👍🏽
Great episode guys 👏
Thank you 😊
Your pronunciation of words has me howling, so funny 🤣 when you said “Nevt” instead of “Newt” just love these videos!! Myself and partner are coming to Tenerife next May, hoping we run into you guys!!
Glad you like them!😊😂
Loved the hulk when we were there in 2000, it was new at the time . Went on it twice, also duelling dragons at bush gardens . Would love to go again and try all those new rides, but it is quite pricey now a ten grand holiday in oct when we would want to go. Alot for waiting around over hour to get on rides.
Try and go for a quieter time 😊
I love clam chowder.😂
Lol 😂
Love the videos guys! Amazing as always and getting us excited for our trip to Florida which is very soon!
Have you ever thought about doing car rental tours at the airports, alamo for example. We have a Sporty Car booked but just want to see level of cars etc and what they look like!
Im not sure they would allow it 😊
Great video guys! Loved just how much you really needed an ice cream! A fair few peeps are saying the poseidon area is going to be turned into a zelda area 🤞🤞🤞
Thanks for the info!
I was 22 when I last rode the Hulk the same year after the retrack and it did me in too. Definitely a ride issue, not age!
Its intense lol
I absolutely love clam chowder, we visited Looe in Cornwall last year for a long weekend and o had three types , all excellent in their own right , but best I've ever had was in west Ireland (eire) 👌
Could never eat that lol
@@TheKnightStrider🤮 God no!! 😂
Great vlog! That British section at Publix is for those of us who don’t live in England. It’s cheaper than flying there! 😂
It really is!
We've only been to Splitsville to eat once. We are looking forward to doing it again soon!
Great food but pricey
Super interesting hearing your thoughts on Hulk. I get exactly the same blinding/white out on Velocicoaster and Rokit but not Hulk! Weird how it affects people in different ways. Wish there was a way to stop it as I loved Velocicoaster otherwise
Its abit of a head banger lol
Funny vlog , would have loved to have seen your sister and deans reactions after the rides
They vlogged it themselves 😊
Brilliant vlog but don't know how you done the ride felt sick watching 😮❤❤
Lol 😂
We always complain at the price of the UK sweets in supermarkets but the US sweets are the same if not more expensive
Indeed!
Great vlog Andrew
Thanks 👍
Great vlog. Go in 14 weeks. Can’t wait. Think Poseidon fury land is changing to a Zelda themed area.
Can't wait!
We went on Kong last time we went , no queue and it was on the way out , wasn't impressed with it tbh unless you have a window seat , you can't see much , so unless there's no queue and it's hot outside , I'd do it lol
Love hulk, but have to ride it at the end of the day so it doesn't wreck my head all day.😂
I cant do it lol
Hulk is one of my favourite rides I’m not sure I get what you mean about the head banging. To me it feel like one of the smoothest rides there
Great vlog guys 🎉
Smooth and Hulk dont belong in the same sentence 😂
@@TheKnightStrider i have seen me do it 3-4 times on the bounce coz it was such a low wait lol
Brilliant stuff you guys do in florida,love it,so insightful better than tracker,Andrew get on hulk?when’s Kennedy space centre up?
Lots to come, Kenedy a week or so away
Poseidons Fury should 100% be a Harry Potter expansion..use the water tunnel for a Chamber of Secrets walkthrough or something 🙌🏻😍
That would be cool
Kong is really only good for a bit of air con when its a low wait. Would never wait longer than 10/15 mine 😂
Definitely lol o
Second time we went to universal in 2001, my youngest son and I was asked if we wamted to be part of the X Men show outside the marvel plot, i had had a slip earlier and grazed my leg and being on warfarin blood was still seeping from the graze , so asbthe crowd got bigger waiting for the show , a lady came and sat down next to where me an my son was asked to stand ready for the show, and she said 'excuse me sir , but do you know your leg is bleeding?' i said yes its ok i'm part of the stunt team, her face was a picture when me amd my son and I got called up , and i could hear her say to her husband, that man is part of the stunt crew 🤣🤣🤣
Getting such good feels watching your videos, cannot wait to be back in August!!! Thanks for doing such a good job!!
You're so welcome!
The odds are that IOA will redevelop The Lost Continent to Harry Potter. If we accept that, I’d refurbish Poseidon’s Fury to the concluding horcrux scene in The Half-Blood Prince. The opportunity is for a dark ride involving water, fire and the undead! This doesn’t conflict with the Epic Universe plans for HP. It could be good. Great vlogs - keep up the good work!
Sounds good!
Hi recently found your channel and I’m really enjoying your vlogs, are you and Laura together or just friends, your really fun together, keep up the great work, love from a fellow Liverpudlian ❤
Thanks so much and welcome 😊
@@TheKnightStrider your so funny 😂
Love your videos but need to know, where did Laura get her bumbag 😂
Shes had it a long time 😊
Omg....the state of Andrew and that cupcake.... youll need to pack a bib and baby wipes next time 😅😅😅
Lol messy or what 😂
Clam chowder is delicious guys 😂… have you not tried it? I’m not really a fan of soup type stuff in the heat though! Oh and yeh the M&M shop is insanely expensive. I was disappointed by how expensive the gifts were.
Eewww noo lol 😆
@@TheKnightStrider loooooz
Velocicoaster is great, but Iron Gwazi in Busche Gardens beats it I think 😮. Never thought id get on a better rollecoaster than Veloci but I have
Nahh, gwazi good but the park isnt as good as universal
Tbh whenever we shopped at publix we found it near enough the same price as Walmart
We always find it pricey
Can u do a night at Citywalk next time you go to Orlando
Sure 😊
"half nine, half nine "you sounded so much like your dad lol
😂😂
Brilliant just started binge watching the Florida ones great stuff :) Have you been to Buba Gumps in any of them ?
Never fancied the menu unfortunately
Thanks for the reply :)
Buba grumps very basic nothing special lovely sandwich shop up on the top by panda called Bread shop omg was gorg n milkshakes expensive but lovely
Sorry Bread Box
If u got a Landery card u get vip treatment too 👍🏻
Trail mix is best $4.99
Yes 🙌🏼
The Lost Continent still has the Mystic Fountain (try talking to it and see what happens!). BTW We were also there in May, and the Jurassic River ride was closed then. Did you try out the Raptor encounter? Never liked the idea of riding Hulk; prefer Rip Ride & Rockit.
The queue was too long for it unfortunately
Volcano Bay - Aquacoaster
Good one to be fair!
Not a massive Kong fan, but on a rainy night last July we took our 3 year old daughter on it and she got a round of applause coming off of it because she wasn’t scared and was waving at the Dinosaurs as they met their ‘end’😂…will hold a special place in our heart for us just for that reason. It was quite a buzz in the queue because of the weather and everyone was so nice to her.😊
Not a bad one for a rainy day lol
👌🏿
😊👍🏽
Publix is more expensive, but the stores are always very clean, and it has the best deli. Love cornbread, but probably wise Laura didn’t get it. It’s mealy and gritty. Based on the various Florida vloggers, Brits tend not to like it. If you’ve had a corn dog, the batter on it is cornbread. Not a clam chowder fan, but don’t like fish. However it is popular here in the US. I don’t like the chunky soups either. Did Laura grow up going to Disney, or did it start when you met? BTW, Prime now also comes in a powdered mix.
Yes we couldnt get the powder mix anywhere unfortunately we got one box on the first day and that was it :(
Gutted, you knocked me back from joining the Facebook group, not sure why
if you were declined it would have been due to not answering and agreeing to the group rules
Went on a carnival cruise as part of my honeymoon. Went to Nassau for a day or two. Bought the package with 'tips' included.... As soon as we got on the ship over Pa system was some 'host' guy non stop talking about the staff and giving them tips... Very off putting to have that message non stop projected on Pa system and TV... Especially when you have bought the tips package. Put us right off cruises. 😐
Thanks for the info 😊
😂😂😂😂
Lol
@@TheKnightStrider I am dead over here, 😊funny indeed 💯
So true about Kong and Fast and furious - rubbish!
True!
wearing your cup cake 🤦😂😂
Just abit 😂
Hulks a nothing ride compared to velocicoaster😂
Never really found Hulk to be Intense, always found it to be a bit of a let down in all respects.
Its a real head banger
