Oh that dang Milton. Sometimes you have to be really lucky. It’s almost like a casino game: rolling the dice, planning ahead and hoping for the best. Gives new meaning to dancing between the raindrops.
Oh no gutted for you all, hope you are able to rearrange the holiday again soon. I love your Florida vlogs.
All very brave!
Yes they were. I took one for the team and stayed on the ground purely to record from a different perspective...
@@livingittrue5 absolutely 😁
Just come across your channel. I'll definitely keep watching. I have 3 SEN children myself two of which are autistic and one has ADHD (under investigation for autism). It's nice to watch vlogs with families who have children with autism x
Hi and welcome. my eldest is ADHD and autistic, coupled with autistic siblings it's hard isn't it. Hope we can be of help even if it's you not feeling alone.
@@livingittrue5 how old is your eldest? My daughter has just turned 11. It's definitely hard, but also rewarding. Thank you 😊
@@CharlotteJanvier30 my eldest is 14 and my youngest is 11
Thanks for this we are going in Dec for a break with our Autistic daughter. This was supper helpful.
Happy we could be of help. Enjoy your break December is my favourite time to go to Butlins.
They used to have a band so you could avoid the qs at the fare ground for ASD don't know if they still do
I think they do at Bogner but not at Minehead. Luckily we can pick times out of the main season for our visits so the children have wait times within their thresholds.
9:56 I just saw my favourite character Mimi behind Pip
Hey 👋 when are you going to Florida ? We’re going in 2 days 😊 x
We were meant to be there now, but Milton cancelled our flight with no suitable alternative, so we have rebooked for the middle of November. Enjoy your holiday x
That's a good idea going to Butlins when kids go back to school , less people there and definitely a lot cheaper , we went August bank holiday , for the weekend stayed in a gold apartment it cost £696 , thank the week after it was a lot cheaper like only £45 , glad you had a lovely break xx
I.didn't like the premier dining , it was a lot busier and noisier than food court which we usually go for ,
We struggled a lot with it as the week went on. I'm not sure we will bother next time
We can't do the main holidays due to sensory overwhelm so are lucky to home educate and go when crowds are low. Thank you we had a lovely time.
Hope you like your disney adventures but it's always nice to get home have a great day
Thank you x
Yay another vlog series 😊, great win for Samantha 👍 I love a 2p machine 😂I’m definitely in asd/adhd burnout and have been for a while, don’t know how to get out of it and work is awful and probably making it worse.
No work definitely does not help these things. We found getting out into nature, small walks and doing little things we enjoyed like a favourite meal helped but these burnouts take time to recover from. We are still coming out of one. Please be kind to yourself.
Hope your flight home went well and you got home to your own beds, bliss, have really enjoyed your videos 👍
It did thank you and our own beds were very welcome. Thank you for following our journey and supporting us.
I enjoyed watching your videos have an easy flight home
Thank you for watching and supporting us, we really appreciate it.
Dumbo a favorite ride
Yes it is a must
Hope the wheelchair works better
It does thank you Rich replaced the tyre when we got home
As always some good tips, looks like you all had a really good time ❤
Thank you. We really did
I’ve really enjoyed this, thank you for sharing!
Thank you for watching, we really appreciate it.
Looks like everyone had a good time to bad for your wheelchair protection
We did thank you
Your information is just so helpful, there is no chance of my ever going to Magic Kingdom but what you have said helps with our Autistic grandson, thank you for the tips.😀
Thank you. Hopefully some of our tips are inter-changeable regardless of location. We are really glad some of it helps.
So sweet, Riley running to figment. When he said he’s my favorite, so adorable.
I know he melts our heart every day.
Lovely to see the kids swimming. Your videos are so interesting. Thanks for posting.
Thank you. Both kids are total water babies and would spend the entire holiday in the pool given the choice.
I enjoy your videos. They give me a good perspective on life and patience. You have both in abundance. Re Gideon’s: sounds like someone grabbed the salt instead of the sugar! Their cookies always look too thick to me. But I guess, to each their own taste. I once ordered cinnamon toast in a hotel room service and it was salty. Oops. Pretty funny. Your videos are inspirational. Reminding me to just roll with it. ;) but I draw the line at salty cinnamon toast!
Thank you so much for your lovely comment, we appreciate it. I always try for patience but firmly believe if someone gave me salted cinnamon toast I might lose it, I love cinnamon! :)
Found one of your worry worms at butlins. In the bowling alley on the way to the toilets. A lovely little gift for our boy with autism and ADHD. It's nice knowing we are not alone with our struggles. Thank you x
I'm glad our worry worm found someone who needed him. We are very happy to have you join us for our adventures.
Stayed at animal kingdom lodge
Somewhere we have always wanted to stay but haven't managed yet
Appreciate the problems you encountered, thought that you dealt with things really well 👍
Thank you, I really appreciate that
The play area for the kids looked great
They really were, the kids had the best couple of hours.
Thanks for your videos going to Disney after our family cruise hope you enjoy disney adventures
You are welcome. I hope you have the best time both on the cruise and at Disney
Glad your family is having a great time in Florida
Looks amazing there, chips and crisps 👍 from me I am the pickiest person ever with food, my son however will eat everything apart from cheese. I’m thinking of trying to get a good deal on Black Friday, it’s definitely somewhere I would love to take my son.
That's how we got tickets, a black Friday deal. It is definitely worth it. We will be going back in October as we all rate it as one of our best days.
@@livingittrue5 oh wow that’s good, must be good if your going back. I’m thinking Easter hols, as summer seems too hot for us.
summer is very hot, we have done July and it's doable but hard. We like May or October weather wise.
Can’t wait for Discovery Cove next week. While my son will rarely leave the house I am hoping to get him to Orlando in April and Discovery Cove will be this first thing I book.
We loved discovery cove. It's so relaxing and a wonderful experience. I really hope your son will be able to enjoy it
@@livingittrue5 I’m glad you enjoyed it, it looks amazing and I know my son will love it he loves animals and water so it should be a hit.
Another holiday series can’t wait, my 15 year old won’t leave the house not sure if it’s anxiety based or just being 15. So I’m spending my days watching holiday vlogs wishing I go away but can’t because he doesn’t want to. Loving your vlogs 😀
Thank you for watching along, I hope they are helping a bit. It is hard when they won't go out, we were like this for many years with Samantha. I hope things begin to get a bit easier for you both soon.
can't stand people who use autism to get views and attention. screw these people!
Thank you for your comment. We totally agree as we are not using autism to 'get views and attention' we are hoping our experiences will help others. Have a great day
Absolutely love all your FE gifts! You are very talented!!
Thank you so much!
Looks like everyone had a great time
It was a really good day, thank you
@@livingittrue5 every time my daughter goes to Disney she has toget those cookies
Well done Kel. You did a great job with the little material we had.
Thank you x
The pizzas look tasty 😂😊
Thankfully the Parmesan didn't have any flavour at all, blugh. It was good but not as good as Port Orleans
I enjoyed the video. My daughter is in disney world this week and said it's like a jungle swampyhumid but she loves disney
It was unseasonable hot and sticky in May so I dread to think what it's like there now. I hope she is having a great time and has a chance to ride Tiana's new ride.
Brilliant video. I would love to visit Disney World
Thank you. It is our happy place. It takes a lot to get there in terms of money and planning but worth it, never say never and follow that dream.
You're doing great .I had jet lag the whole time I was on a English tour including England Wales Ireland n Ireland Scotland keep up your great video
Jetlag is so debilitating, isn't it. Thank you for your kind comment, we found it really hard going today.
Brilliant video
Thank you
Yup.... Really enjoyed this Travel Day episode. Love a travel day and channel that just shows people being themselves . Spot on guys and we have subscribed and looking forward to more.
really glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for your lovely comment.
new to your channel and subbed. Looking forward to. your videos of your trip. we too daily vlog our life here in Orlando, as we start our first year in Florida. Such a beautiful family, thank you for sharing.
Thank you. We have lots of videos and adventures coming up, hope you enjoy them
You need to contact BA , or any other airline that you've booked special assistance through, 24 hrs before your flight even though that booking for special assistance may already have been in place weeks or months before as a reminder to them. We're off to Orlando in 2 weeks with our autistic daughter and kmow tp do this plus Tui who we booked through already told us this.
Appreciate the tip. We have never had a problem with them knowing we need assistance to/on/off the plane just with storing our wheelchair details. However in future years we will just take them with us to check in. Thanks for your help.
Brilliant video
Thank you, we appreciate you following along.
My family and me are going on a disney cruise in August then spending two days in disney world .I enjoy your videos
Thank you. Disney in August can be brutal for heat but doable. I highly recommend cooling towel, they are a life saver. I bet you can't wait.
@@livingittrue5 I think we will be spending alot of time in the pool
Yes a Disney world vlog series again, I love these I’m so excited. I’m trying to plan a Florida holiday for me and my 14 year old son (both Autistic and ADHD) he’s never been on a plane and it’s been a good 25 years for me it’s overwhelming to be honest.
My kids do really well on a flight, barring Riley with travel sickness, due to unlimited technology access. Riley's first flight was to Florida and as long as he had access to technology he was fine. Watch lots of vlogs on the travelling experience and we got a flip flap book on the airport experience, I believe it was a DK book, although I understand your lad is 14, my two still like them at their ages. We also get on the plane first and last off to avoid all the crowds. Hope this helps a little, please feel free to ask any other questions and I will answer themeif I can.
That was a lovely vlog! I did have to laugh with the wine situation😅. How awful about BA though, that’s not good enough. We flew in March with United (London-Houston-MCO) and can honestly say that was an amazing experience. But I guess with your family that’s too long of a journey (door to door 21 hours), flying for a total of 13 hours. Looking forward to seeing the wdw vlogs
Thank you. Unfortunately you are correct we need to fly direct but thanks for the recommendation. Even on an aeroplane I'm not drinking cold red wine, we have some standards (giggle, giggle).
Brilliant video
Thank you
You’ve done it. And now you can sock away the memories. Thanks for your vlogs.
Yes we did it and survived. Thanks for following along.
Enjoyed watching your videos, hope your future trips are better for the whole family.
I'm glad you have enjoyed watching. We have a new series (WDW) coming soon and it is definitely a bit easier.
