  • ► Welcome to a NEW Florida Travel Day vlog! The first one since 2020!! In this video, I finally make my way back to Orlando for a 2 week stay at Walt Disney World. I travel with Virgin Atlantic's Economy cabin from London Heathrow to MCO Orlando International Airport. I then take the Mears Connect to my resort, Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge, and explore some of the hotel, including the Disney merchandise shop, and quick service option, the Mara.
    This is Disney World Solo Vlog series 2023.
    Disney World Travel Day UK March 2023
    --------------------------------------------------------
    Have you ever stayed at or visited Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge? What's your favourite animal? Why does Orlando International Airport look so cute? Is Wagamama's breakfast worth trying? I'd love to hear your thoughts.

    OMG this was so good it made me so excited for my turn!
    Bits that made me laugh…1. The softball team photobombing your Vlog and your awkwardness was so British!
    2. The bit in Mara when you said “I didn’t mean to offend the rice”! 😂😂😂 Classic.
    I love that the resorts all have their own ears now but this shall lead to personal bankruptcy for me as I have an ear headband addiction!
    Your excitement was tangible and I love how you don’t take anything for granted you appreciate every detail.
    This series has me totally hooked in already. Xxx

    I enjoy your vlogs of DLP, they helped me get prepared for my visit in Jan. I too found it different that the cutlery over there was wooden… very pleasantly surprised by how much more advanced in Europe they are about the environment. Welcome to my playground WDW and I hope you have /had a wonderful trip and I look forward to your upcoming vlogs!

    The mousse in the Zebra Domes is made with Amarula Cream Liquor. It is a South African liquor that comes from the fruit of the Amarula tree. The liquor is yummie on its own.

    The luxury of sleeping while traveling kjsdhasd I don't sleep before leaving and I still can't sleep on 9 hour bus journeys, haha! Unless I literally pass out xD If we manage to go to Orlando, this will be interesting. We'll most likely have transfer too sooo (also I can't believe we are seriously thinking about Florida (also 14 days! though our budget would only allowed Pop Century (and probably only All Stars but...), you really are living the dream!) and you just happened to be posting vlogs recently!!)

    Watching this vlog made me even more excited to finally go back to WDW! I studied in Orlando & graduated during the pandemic & haven't been back since!! Around 2 months till my flight & I can't wait!!! Also, I don't get the zebra dome hype! I tried them & my reaction was like your initial reaction. I mean, they're nice but I've definitely tasted better treats! Looking forward to the rest of your vlogs!

      Just to let know and is sadly a fact: more than 85% of the plastic does not get recycled. There is no respect for marine life anymore. Humans are destroying this planet little by little.
