What We Spent - The Real Cost of Getting From Orlando Airport to a DisneyWorld Resort + Cruise
Find out how to get yourself from the Orlando Airport to DisneyWorld resorts and then on to a Disney Cruise, PLUS real numbers about what it actually cost us (in extra expenses), on TOP of our trip. All Disney transport used to be included in your vacation, and we took a 4-year break from cruising since 2020, so this was a BIG change in budget planning (and headache) for a Disney trip. Getting there used to be half the fun. Let's see if it still is...

Awwwww I have tears!
🥹🥰 miss you, my friend!
I will be visiting it in a couple of weeks from now!!
Oh gosh, how exciting!
Great video!
Thank you!
super video and good advice. I hope to rely on public transport for my November trip, but may rent an auto in Tours. Great hints..thanks !
Thank you! I would definitely rent a car out there. You'll love the freedom to go see all the amazing places at your own pace.
lol I just saw this and I’m LITTIRLWY IN SEASODE RIGHT NOW
I wish we were! Have fun!
The second one I saw that from little einstines and the song is Jan us horns pris 1150 ad Edit: plz pin so other people can know I’m good at history if u want to know history at 50 subs I will go like about history
Love love that song!
I mean live
Was there yesterday and loved it!
Ah lucky! I really want to return and see the updates!
As far as I was concerned the gardens were the very best of my day.
That and the hamlet, for sure. So worth all the walking!
Guided tour cuz it’s really up to them where they take you inside the palace. Also recommend getting there about 2hours earlier cuz by the time of your guided tour there will be a meeting point and roll call. Now the gardens are their own entity LEGIT!
Good idea!

The chapel Saint Hubert where Leonardo da Vinci is buried is in renovation behind the scaffoldings at 2:25 ! Before renovation with his grave at 0:12: ruclips.net/video/Kisbw4AN4VQ/видео.html And after renovation at the very end of this video: ruclips.net/video/ksBmvleUdqI/видео.html Unfortunately as you said most of the castle was destroyed in 1660 but above all in 1806.
Thanks for sharing those links! We'd love to go back there sometime 😀
It's also true that there's no big statue celebrating St Joan in Rouen. Shame for murdering her. She was not burnt for heresy but for refusing to wear women's clothes. The Tour was a prison
She's one of my favorite historical women ❤️
That's not the real market! This market is open most days. The big farmers market is in Place St Mark and is Friday Saturday and Sunday with the big day on Saturday.
Yes, this seemed like a permanent market, thanks for sharing that...we weren't there for a weekend day unfortunately 🙂
I’m there now!
Beautiful time to be there! Have fun!
Just returned from a 3 week France trip, one week staying at my friends Chateau outside Saumur, then a week up in the Britney area and the last week in Paris. I love the Loire Valley and also would suggest Chateau De Ussé
Sounds lovely! We actually sadly canceled our two week trip in April to Paris and Brittany, so I'm vicariously *armchair traveling* this year 🙃
@@MilesAwaywithUs Paris is looking beautiful as they prepare for the Olympics, everything is getting power washed. I am sad that they had to block off being able to go under the Eiffel Tower unless you have tickets to go up but I understand it is needed for the extra security. Looking forward to "armchair traveling" to watch the Olympics - France is going to be a great host.
Agree! What a venue! We are so looking forward to returning sometime ✨️
Great video! Im flying PS from Heathrow to Salt Lake in december on an a330-200. My original direct flight by Delta from Schipol to SLC got cancelled, so I had to go from LHR instead (I hate transfers). Base tickets were 50% more, but I lucked out and PS was like only 20% more than Main Cabin so I went with that. Also got bulkhead seats. With back issues I hope the upgraded seats are worth the extra cost (even if I got a good deal on the upgrade) :)
I bet you'll really love the PS compared to coach for sure! And 20% more is a score! Safe travels!✨️
Wow interesting! I was born and raised in Rouen. I no longer live there but my father still lives in the suburbs so I happen to visit the city every once in a while. Really interesting to see a place one knows so well with the eyes of an outsider. Did you know that the cathedral,of Rouen actually dates back to the 5th century AD? Not much is still there since two ulterior buildings have been built at the same location but in the crypt there are still a few remains of this antic construction. If people are fond of medieval churches, Rouen is actually the place to go in France since the city still have numerous churches dating back from the era. About Joan of Arc, there is a bridge in Rouen, the Jeanne D’Arc bridge which is located where the ashes were ditched in the riser Seine (yeah, I know, rough!). Anyway, I’m truly happy that you enjoyed the trip to the city. And you have my deepest apologies for French public bathrooms. Never try to use them in France, no French citizen would dare to use them either. I don’t know why we still have that awful places, it is a national shame here but we don’t really address the issue. Don’t know why. One final thing: there are many nearby places around Rouen that are worth visiting so feel free to rent a car and drive the area, you’ll be amazed by Normandy!
Thank you for sharing more of your beautiful city! (No need to apologize for the restrooms-- we know now to just go to a restaurant 😆) We stayed near Potigny and drove around Nornandy for a week and loved it all so much! Someday we'll definitely revisit - I still want to see where Richard the Lionheart's heart rests! (Missed it that day in the cathedral)
Just back from Seaside. It was a dreary place. Needs a makeover.
Aw sorry to hear that!
the elevator was extremely easy to get to, and helped the trek up a lot more bearable!
I wish we'd taken the time to go down to the village. Bucket list for someday.. 😀
@@MilesAwaywithUs we came via train so there was no question of walking through the village :) even the ladies at the post office were really nice and helpful
🙂🙂
The city is beautiful, but it was half-destroyed during World War II and then badly rebuilt in the sixties. The docks on the Seine River used to be nice and lively before the war, but now the river seine lost its shores. restrooms...don't even get me started. They're disgusting in so many places in france that i prefer to ask in restaurants they're only getting worse.
I agree 💯 about the restrooms! I could do a whole commentary on that subject... I'll never understand why they're so few, so often lacking all necessities (no running water OR paper?) and so often disgusting!
Love , love it.
We did too, so much history here!
Rueil-Malmaison is my city during 65 years. I was born here, my mother too, my grand ma too and more and more. Napoléon the self made man and Joséphine are my passion. I love this house. Alll the fondations of french démocratie are writen at Malmaison and I am proud of Napoléon Bonaparte ❤
It is such a special place! We loved it so much!
Henry is is my favorite Plantagenet and I visited the abbey in June 2023.
Mine too-- him and Eleanor. I'd love to go back there someday☺️

🇫🇷❤️
WOW! what lovely honest reportage..your voice is soothing, demure, and seemingly accurate regarding the Delta Premium select product. Question: Was the tape removed from the seat next to you?..it seemed particularly obtrusive. really nice video!
Thank you, what a nice thing to say! The tape stayed, but the seat being empty for all those hours was lovely 😀
I think Pinocchio’s nose was growing
😆🤣
Wow! So many inconveniences now for that trip compared to the way it used to be!
It is SO different now. The whole trip was still really terrific, but it is sad to see how much they have discontinued, of the prior wonderful services that made getting there part of the fun. I think from now on we'll just cruise from Ft Lauderdale 😀
Splendid to enjoy your personal visit video, thank you fellow rosarian! I have grown many of the old historic once flowering roses in my gardens of the last 30 years and was seeking today news of Malmaison. I never visited as it was reported to be in a poor state and not worth the journey years ago. But I'm so glad to see it now. To bring the old garden back to as it was would take a major 5 year effort. Maybe this too will eventually be seen?!
I loved walking around the gardens. We were there in 2019, and it was so fun to see many of the antique varieties we grow here in the northwest US. Definitely go see it if you get a chance! 🌹
Disneyyy!! 🙌🎉
🤩😀🥳
Watching this as I work on a road trip packing list! Such a helpful guide for packing light for any trip, really.
Thank you! So glad it will help for your road trip 😃
Astonishing area! Lovely city! Thanks and Subscribed :)
Thank you! 😀
I love the kitty packing assistant! Great video and fantastic tips. Merci beaucoup!
Thanks! I didn't have the heart to kick her out of the room, she's too cute 😅
I also cruised with a carryon and I loved that!
I was so proud of myself 😀 Now I want to try it on a longer cruise...
❤️❤️
🩵🩵
and wireless mics work too
Not if they're a c-type adapter. I did buy one that plugs into the mic jac and that works.
@@MilesAwaywithUs I can use bluethooth mics like headpones
it can be charged while recording
Unfortunately no it can't. It can record while plugged into a power source with the battery pulled though.
@@MilesAwaywithUs It just dosent show on the battery but it charges
Great review! I always fly delta 😉
Thank you! 😉😉
What a pleasant review. I too have never had a bad experience with Delta - and have flown over 2.4 million miles. There have been issues, but Delta always seems to get them resolved. I keep thinking that I will switch airlines until I try out another airline - always back to Delta. Odd about the snack box for breakfast - something weird must have happened.
I've flown only Delta for decades too, and any time I need help with any issue, they've always absolutely fixed it. Love them! That choice for snack box on an early flight was a little odd though lol.
Another fab video! And man, that early morning snack box was the epitome of unhealthy!! 😅🤢
Right? And if that was one of two options (can't recall but usually they offer two)... the other one would have been even *more unhealthy? 🫨
Awwwwww we met for the first time during this trip!!! Brings tears to my eyes. ❤🥹🥹
Me too 🥹
did i miss the follow up to if you were right to do the gardens first?
We did the gardens on our first visit and the interior on our second visit. 😀
i love paris! i love this video
Aw thanks! Paris is so amazing 😇
Beautiful. Thanks!
Thank you! 😀
Amazing videos, and while they can't prepare you for your own screw ups, they definitely can cushion the blows. Looking forward to noting all your vids for future visit. Thanks!
Thank you! Absolutely agree 😊
Beautiful. Thanks!
Thank you!

Thanks for your feedback - I'm surprised that no one else has commented on this. It's honest feedback like this that's important in making purchase decisions. I've decided to wait a bit to see if GoPro can fix this with a f/w update. Cheers.
You're welcome! And I need to make an update video because they tried to help sort it out with me and ended up shipping me a whole new camera AND battery at no charge, so customer service for the win! The new camera hasn't had as much battery drain, although it still doesn't have the ability to record while charging (although it will record while plugged in if the battery is removed *I think*), and I did have to buy a new wireless mic that doesn't use a c-type Bluetooth receiver, to work with the Hero12. The one that will work for a mic has to be plugged into the MIC jack on the media mod. Hope that helps!
@@MilesAwaywithUs Thanks, this has been useful information. Cheers.
I always get dizzy on the way back down! I am so glad I had the opportunity to experience the Arc wrapped - what an installation and undertaking! She really is worth the effort to go and see. The views are amazing!
Definitely! And we were surprised that the climb down was almost harder than the one up 😅
Another great video! Arc de Triomphe is the highlight of that boulevard… love her.
Thank you! Yes, what an amazing piece of history!
