Welcome back to our latest vlog series in Orlando and it’s time for Universal Studios and Halloween Horror Nights!

After a wonderful few days inside Disney World, it was time for us to move over to Universal Resort. We started the day with a delicious Dunkin’ Donuts before jumping in the car to check into Cabana Bay! (Note to self - avoid checking in on a Sunday!) 🌴

Once we were prepped and ready, we headed into Universal Studios to look and the merchandise and ride The Mummy, Transformers and watch The Blues Brothers show to get us hyped for the night to come.

It was then time for Halloween Horror Nights and we couldn’t contain our excitement. We decided to stay and scream at Terrifier (wow is all we can say) before managing to power through most of the mazes including Jason Universe, Graves of Flesh and Wyatt Sicks 👺

Most of the evening was spent enjoying the houses, food and drinks, but we also managed to watch the late show of Nightmare Fuel before blitzing through 4 houses in 30 minutes - finishing on Five Nights at Freddy’s! 🐻

Welcome back to our latest vlog series in Orlando!

After a jam-packed day at the Disney World parks, we were ready to hit the ground running by heading to Hollywood Studios and picking up a Starbucks on Sunset Boulevard. It was then time to head over the Rock N’ Rollercoaster for our final ride before The Muppets takeover. We decided to watch The Little Mermaid - A Musical Adventure (a first for us since the updates) and were pleasantly surprised!

We then hopped on our favourite transport, the Disney Skyliner, to explore some more of Epcot’s Food & Wine Festival for a quick bite to each and a fiesta margarita!

However, as it was a Saturday, the parks were so busy, so instead of waiting hours on end for rides, we chose to head to the Cast Connections, 5 Below and Walmart for some shopping. We then jumped in the car to return to Hollywood Studios for some Totchos and Walt Disney Present for the latest park updates and models.

Before returning to the villa, we had to check out Raisin Canes as we’d never tried it before (safe to say, our minds were blown!)

We are back for our first episode of the new series with an incredible day across the Disney World parks ✨

After spending the night at the villa (and showing you around the place), we hit the road and made our way to Animal Kingdom which is starting to become a tradition for our first morning. We took in the beautiful morning sights of the tree of life before heading over to Dinoland USA for our final (and emotional) ride of Dinosaur. As one of our favourite rides, it was difficult to say goodbye to a staple for us but we had an amazing last ride with a vehicle all to ourselves! 🦖

It was then time to head over for a morning ride of Expedition Everest then a slow wander over to Pandora for a much needed Pongu Pongu pit stop (it was so hot only a nightblossom could cure us) before venturing towards Flight of Passage and one of the longest wait times we’ve done!

It was then time to split up from Elana and Andrew so we decided to spend the afternoon at Epcot for the wonderful Food & Wine Festival 2025 to try as many booths as our stomachs would allow. We think it’s safe to say, we did ourselves proud with a selection of dumplings, bakes, samosas, snails and of course margaritas.🍹As the afternoon sun began to cool, we hopped on the skyliner to head to the Riviera Resort before finding out we could enter Magic Kingdom. Plans quickly shifted and so we jumped on the next bus to walk down Main St. and see the beloved castle.

A quick Starbucks, ride on Tron and Pirates of the Caribbean gave us our fix of the magic before going to Olive Garden (a new favourite) for unlimited salad, soup and pasta. This was a perfect start to our magical trip 😌

IT’S CHLOE’S BIRTHDAY! 🎂

What we’d give to be celebrating in Epcot and strolling through World Showcase with a fiesta margarita in hand. For now, it’ll be a lovely evening meal and watching season 5 of stranger things!

THE NEW VLOG SERIES IS HERE!
Welcome to our brand new Orlando series where we spend an amazing 10 days exploring all things Disney World, Universal Resort and Halloween Horror Nights 2025 🙌🏻

We start travel day by driving up to Manchester Airport, grab a bite to eat and get ourselves ready for the much anticipated flight to MCO with ✈️

From the airport, we did a first for us and picked up our car from Hertz before heading straight onto I-Drive to spend the evening in Disney Springs. Honestly, we had to pinch ourselves to be back here again and enjoyed a fantastic evening with a Gideon’s and dinner at Chef Art Smith’s Homecoming (arguably the most delicious chicken in the states!) 🇺🇸

We then headed to Walmart to stock up on energy drinks and snacks in preparation for a full day in the parks tomorrow. And then, we drove to our villa for the first part of the trip (again our first time staying in a villa together).

This trip is filled so many magical moments, daily thrills and lots of laughter as we spend a couple of days at Walt Disney World 🐭 before checking into Cabana Bay for the remainder of the trip with 3 nights of Halloween Horror Nights, alongside days spent at Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure - we can’t wait to share the whole adventure with you! 💜

Travel Day Maldives edition - take 2!

It’s finally arrived and after all of the chaos and uncertainty following the cancellation last time around - Chloe is off to the Maldives! This trip has arguably one of the best itineraries ever - from snorkeling with sharks, luxury dining, massages and miles of sandy beaches. After what has been a very busy time at home, it’s time for Chloe to take a well needed break.

We’ll be posting stories and vlogging the entire trip, but now it’s time to sit back, relax and enjoy what is sure to be an unforgettable vacation.

Jambo from Day 1!

We’ve had so much fun and joy exploring Animal Kingdom this morning, riding personal favourites like Flight of Passage, Everest and of course Dinosaur. We felt very lucky that our final ride of it was in a vehicle all to ourselves!

Plus, we’ll be spending the afternoon exploring the endless food options at Food & Wine Festival - somebody pray for our stomachs!
