***Please follow your airlines recommended check in times regardless if it’s a big or small airport. There are lot of people, bags and a paperwork to process especially for an international flight ****
Thanks for the tip. I heard security wait times are currently horrendous at Manchester. Hope it improves in time for our trip albeit we've prebooked fast track. 🤞 Thanks for your great VLOGs x
Great vlog and totally opened our eyes to Melbourne as we’d said definitely no! Just booked a great deal from Doncaster for September and the transfer is included as it’s a package.
Possibly one of the most useful vlogs I’ve seen in awhile. Thank you for taking the time to produce this. TUI so much cheaper than the others but I wonder for how much longer it will remain that way especially with all the airports improvements.
Cracking vlog thank you. We always use TUI to fly to Orlando, and its interesting see the difference between Sanford and Melbourne, the amenities, lay out, car hire, distance etc. We fly out in October and just watching this alleviates some nerves about what we can expect on arrival. Really appreciate the routes we can take to the parks as well, really helpful advice. Genuinely, and i mean this, one of the most informative vlogs we’ve ever seen. Bravo to you guys 👏 New subscribers as well 😃👍
I just wanted to say thank you, as this video was extremely helpful in planning our first Orlando trip with TUI to Melbourne, rather than MCO as we've done in the past, and was also our introduction to your channel. My Wife and I love your content and look forward to each new video! We've been home in Scarborough from Orlando now just 4 days as I type, but again, your video was invaluable in letting us know what to expect!
Thanks so much for taking the time to do this vlog. We have a villa in Clermont, and have used SFB for a few years, with a journey time of around 1hr to US Hwy 27. Our son has special needs, so good to know about the disabled assistance and sunflower programme. Thanks again.
Took my family to Florida in 1998, my sons were only 6 and 8, what a great holiday. We stayed in Kissimmee, but ventured to the beaches at Melbourne 4 or 5 times. We all enjoyed or time there, its clean with lots do and see, prefect for families. My sons are grown up now, one lives in South Korea with his wife, but have warm happy memories of our time there. I think this is a great move by TUI from Manchester, hopefully other UK airports will follow. Watching the TUI flight live from Manchester as I type, aircraft has just passed Providence, so only about 3 hours to go. Brought back warm happy memories of our time there as a family, thank you.
Great video mate. Well done. Alot of people travelling from the U.K will find this helpful. I see what you mean about Melbourne being a small airport, you cracked me up laughing when you said the airport is increasing from having 2 security lanes up to 4, and they're also adding some new toilets! 🤣🤣🤣
Thank you both, we fly in on the 21st and this is so helpful. Curious to see the drive on 192 as we are staying in Davenport. Hope all is well with you both. X
Easy drive as other routes are stressful , even for Americans. No Tolls etc... Cool stops along the way. Local hospitality. Always say how happy you are to bere and thank them. Southern Hospitality is key here. You will yes Mam , thank you , etc...... It makes or breaks the day. This is not Woke areas.
Being from Florida originally from West Virginia,there are alot of underutilized airports in Florida like Melbourne and Daytona Beach ,so there's plenty of room for growth .These smaller airports are relatively easier to get in and out of than the major airports.
Very good and informative video Glad TUI is there. I will definately be giving this trip a thought. I reside in the UK, I am fine with flying with them.
I was looking for Melbourne Australia but decided to watch this anyway out of interest. Great informative report. Will come in handy if i ever get over that way. Ha!ha! All the best!
This is so great Bazza!! We are flying in May from Newcastle to Melbourne and was a little worried about it being a long drive, but looks like it’s gonna be super quick getting through immigration, so it’s all good. Thank you guys for thinking of this and us Brit’s too 🤗💕👍🥳 P.S love your work guys.. (Mrs Bazza, you keep him right, ha ha)
Great blog. I used to travel through that airport to visit my mom in the late 70s, then lived in that area through the 89s. at that time there were only 3 gates and they only really used 2. There were no jetways and only Eastern Airlines actually flew there. Baggage pick up was an open air porch on the side of the building. It’s fun to see where it is going now.
We actually moved to Viera, Florida which is only minutes from Melbourne Airport. We love the location being less than an hour from Disneyworld, beaches, Port Canaveral and no central Florida traffic. Such a wonderful difference than the chaos of MCO. We love it! We take 95 to the 528 to the 417 to Magic Kingdom and we can get there in less than an hour. The 192 is longer but a nice drive avoiding the highway. I think you avoid so much stress landing here with zero wait to rent a car and less crowds. It's worth the few extra minutes to travel. What a wonderful video! Thank you.
@@ThemeParkBazza Homewood Suites by Hilton is beautiful and a great location by the Port. If you like to see the cruise ships go in and out while enjoying a cold beverage there are amazing bars along the water and minutes to that hotel.
Very interesting volg and helpful. We fly with TUI to Melbourne in just over 5 weeks. It is a very small airport. Look forward to your departure vlog to see whats air-side is like.
Haven’t heard of this airport until I booked a recent holiday with TUI! Very useful video, thank you! With 2 young children I’m hoping immigration is faster than MCO 🤞🏻
To be honest it's put us off flying TUI. The positive is fast security etc, but the small amounts of shops and even more so the one hour twenty minutes drive (avoiding toll roads) going to Hard Rock Hotel Universal. That said, TUI and offering transfers and if the holiday packages they offer are cheaper than Virgin etc it is probably worth it... AND we loved flying on the Dreamliner on our last visit using TUI. This is why we like your vlogs, even though we have visited Orlando relatively regularly you keep us up to date on things we haven't known about and helped us with making future plans. Great vlog guys 👍
Thanks , yes it’s swings and roundabouts on MLB, smaller airport so faster processing and smaller lines but les facilities . It really depends if the deal with TUI makes it worth it
Great vlog guys Interesting and in-depth. It’s an option for us now flying from my local airport to Florida. Two hours to Disney Area from Melbourne airport not too bad considering you only do it twice once when you arrive and then when you go home I can live with that. Keep safe. 👍
Hi Guys! Thanks so much for doing this vlog, it’s very helpful. We are flying with TUI on May 10th so good to know. We have a package so have transfers. A lot of people are negative about the transfer time, but TUI was far cheaper than Virgin so I’m happy to snooze on the coach! Thanks again, love all your vlogs xx
Reminds me of Sanford Airport in the 1980’s! This is in a great location for cruises out of Port Canaveral, Marella will do great business for UK travelers.
Thanks for pulling this together. Very useful information as TUI changed the airport without informing us. As the trip was rescheduled there was no alternative. We are staying in a villa in August and as these seem to be in the Davenport area I assume the 192 will be the best route? Really appreciate you covering this off in a vlog, I am hoping that small = quiet = quick… but as you clearly said it depends on staffing levels. Vlogs and info on MLB are few and far between so THANKYOU for taking the time to cover it.
I live 2 miles away, love this airport. A lot of close beaches, Melbourne Beach, and Canova (one of the few doggies beaches in Florida), just off Eau Gallie Blvd.if you are traveling with Rover. .
Love this little airport. My Grandparents lived in Melbourne till they passed and I would occasionally find better rates there from Atlanta than to MCO.
The 192 back across to the Kissimmee area is fine until you get to the St, Cloud area because of the time of day it does get busier. Quite a lot of the Disney area rental homes are out towards the end of the 192 and down the US27 towards davenport or or even Haines City. Huge development happening out in this area too so the 192 option from Melbourne will become more relevant as places like Margaritaville increase the vacation homes available.
You can by an E-Pass scanner from Publix (amongst others) and set it up after you get there within, I think, 24 hours and and your tolls will go on it. You can by an E-Pass Mini which have brought home for our families visit in September. These you set up before leaving the UK. Cost $4.99.
Nice informational vlog Barry, thanks 👍🏻 we fly here in September from Newcastle. Only thought that dreads us is the length of time the transfer takes: 2 hours 😩
Great video. We are flying back into MCO in sept after 3 years away due to covid. Was lovely to see that blue sky again and the honk of the cars being locked. Thank you
What a fantastic vlog. Absolutely full of useful information. We’ve just come back, however, we also go again later in the year and will be using this airport. Awesome work 🙌👏👏❤️
Probably one of the most informative vlogs i've seen, we're flying into Melbourne with TUI from Bristol in May so found this very helpful, thanks very much for posting and you've earned yourself a subscriber, cheers.. 👍🏻
Tui moving to Melbourne is probably a reasonable decision. It should save them a bit of fuel to help with costs, be a bit quicker. Ok onward journey bit longer equals this out. But smaller airport, as long as staffed should be super quick.
Also I would rather leave from MLB as I travel to PVD> 1 stop in ATL. and gone. I leave 6:00 a.m and arrive final destination Providence R.I. Easier than Orland and Boston if going to Cape Cod. Peter Pan bus right to the Cape.
Yes I like MLB , I used to work up in an office in Foxboro MA and PVD was my go to airport. I remember it when the car rental place was next to the terminal, not a mile away over the bridge lol
There is certainly a desperate need of more restrooms here at Melbourne. When we left 2 weeks ago the restroom near the lounge area and check in had only 1 of the 3 stalls usable. NOT good enough. Also we had to wait until the Manchester flight travelled across to be our ride home. SEVEN hours late. NOT the fault of the Melbourne Airport but down to issues back home in Manc. It will, and has to, get better. The staff at this airport are brilliant, including the young lady who owns and operates the Duty Free. She came back into the building and reopened the DF at 10 in the evening just for our flight.
I did notice the staff were very nice when we were filming there. My worry is they are ramping up the number of TUI flights and the infrastructure to support it. I do prefer flying from smaller airports though.
We just booked for here after our disney cruise was cancelled (cant get off the ship in europe with an unvaccinated 4 year old apparently due to cdc guidance???). But anyway, got a late deal for fly drive with tui at £390 pp so why not give it a bash, you’ve certainly given me a bit of confidence in the new airport and ill just expect a bit of a wait at customs/check in and not get worked up about it!
Thanks Bazza and your good lady. We are really grateful for this. A fabulous use for vlogging and its being shared around the facebook holiday sites like wildfirw. Really good clear information. You clearly hadn't been on your bottles of Blue Moon when you did this lol ;-) Hee hee! Coming in on the 11th May and maybe we'll bump into you around and about. That's if you have time to pop out as you have house guests currently dont you? x
A useful video Bazza, but bear in mind not everyone will be billeted on I-Drive. Our rental home is just off the 192 , 1 mile from the US27 so the I95/528 wouldn't work for our guests. But, as I said a good and useful video so thanks for posting.
Thanks for all the information, We really enjoy watching you both on your Vlogs. We have just shared your information on "It's Orlando time" page on FB. Keep up the great work. 👍
Great vlog. Thank you for that. My wife & I are flying with TUI to Melbourne in September so this was a great help. Also we love watching you & mrs bazza 😁. Keep up the good work 👍🏻
Thanks - that is really helpful and useful 👏👏. Whilst we will not be using TUI we know friends who are and will let them know to watch this essential video
Late check-in from me 👋 (away for a family wedding weekend) Very informative vlog and it looks like my kind of airport,I'm not a fan of busy noisy airports,it's just a shame it's a longer drive after a long flight. It's so good of you both to go out of your way to film this vlog though and it's definitely very useful. Love you two having a bit of fun together with the flying bug ☺ xx
Thanks for your time doing this vlog, very informative. Arriving there via TUI in two weeks time with a wheelchair user......so will be a good test (usually flying into Sanford in the past). TUI will provide a Welfare Bus to Pop Century this time, but the next visit in September will be a hire car and a villa, so thanks for the driving advice! Take care!!
Just stumbled upon your channel. Very informative. I can remember flying into Sanford on my first ever visit (coach transfer to Orlando), and last time we flew into Fort Lauderdale to save money (as we’re restricted to school holidays). It did save £££ but was a very long drive after a long flight! Thank you again, I’m off to have a look at some of your back catalogue of vlogs now!
Booked to fly from Doncaster to Melbourne in September. Should be interesting comparing both airports as never flown from Doncaster and it's a small airport or landed in Melbourne. Hoping the faster times through customs/security etc will balance out the longer travel time to universal.
Great vlog for any Tui customers flying into their new airport. To me it seems quite a distance to travel after a long flight but I can also see the advantages. Hopefully I'll get to try it one and be able see for myself if it was a good move. I think having transfers also puts them in a win win situation really because you could have a nice little "Nanna Nap" 😉 onroute to your digs and maybe hit the parks on your very first. Thank you for filming, editing and sharing such an informative vlog. Take care 🙂
Thank you for taking the time to produce a very thorough and informative vlog. I'm flying from Edinburgh in June and was a bit concerned from the comments I've seen from other FB groups etc. A great visual of what it looks like now and the possible changes we may see in a couple of months.
very useful video. We headed over that way on our recent trip when visiting Cocoa Beach after the space centre. Easy drive from Orlando. We also sent time on Playa Linda Beach further up to watch the shuttle launch. Very remote and nothing there exceot toilets Ithink festival toilets lol) but beach is beautiful and great for launches.
This is a great vlog we hopefully land at melbourne on 2 may for disney subject to covid test. Cant wait to watch the 192 road trip, love seeing the road trip and what to look out for. 🙂
Thanks folks been waiting for this !! On the MLB website they were saying the terminal would be ready in May - so fingers crossed as we fly in first week of May - but at least I now know the layout & rentals location. MCO next trip !!
Thank you for all of your really helpful info. Can't wait to see it for real later in the year. We don't tend to spend time eating or drinking at airports anyway so this will be perfect for us.
Yrh your right Bazza Tui UK is now moving the Melbourne Airport from Stanford, not sure why, as Stanford was closer to universal / disney I've been told Melbourne is futher out, but thxs Bazzas for showing us around, what to expect for those who travel to florida with tui
A huge thank you 4 doing this vlog , really informative , very useful. We all being well going 2 florida in September with tui , been with them several times now always the cheapest Sandford airport was OK as a airport but just found it so boring old and dated and nothing there the security area was so tiny as we get are transfers with tui they pick u up stupidly early that's the down side . With the investment Melbourne is having it looks more will be there in time , looks fresh and modern . Keep up the good work both .
Hi Bazza and mrs. Bazza, we've enjoyed all your vlogs on Melbourne, and many more , we live down in Torquay Devon, and Bristol is a very handy airport for us , to travel to Orlando, But it seems Tui have now dropped it from Bristol to Melbourne for next year ,its disappeared fom next years web site such a shame , i read in some forums people have had their flights changed to gatwick, looking forward to flying their ,but hopefully they may put it back on, 🤞
Really appreciate you doing this as we're hopefully flying into this airport on Friday! I think it'll be nice to go into an airport thats not too busy. And I think we'll be taking the i95 and 528. Great vlog 👍
Great video really enjoyed it we always travel with Tui when we go to Florida so this year is a new airport for us to travel to which one we have never been to before so your video was very helpful looking forward to your second one to come out on the drive down 192
Thank u so much for trekking out to the Airport, it’s nice to have an idea where we will be flying into. We have a transfer with Tui to take us to Endless Summer. Eekk this make me excited 😍 So looking forward to getting back to Orlando & seeing u guys 🥰 Xx
Thanks a lot for your video, very informative, we re flying with TUI and will take the shuttle to wdw, we wanted to know what Melbourne airport looked like. Take care and thanks again
***Please follow your airlines recommended check in times regardless if it’s a big or small airport. There are lot of people, bags and a paperwork to process especially for an international flight ****
Thanks for the tip. I heard security wait times are currently horrendous at Manchester. Hope it improves in time for our trip albeit we've prebooked fast track. 🤞
Thanks for your great VLOGs x
Great vlog and totally opened our eyes to Melbourne as we’d said definitely no! Just booked a great deal from Doncaster for September and the transfer is included as it’s a package.
There's now talk of the Doncaster Airport closing, which is typical having acquired a route into Orlando.
Possibly one of the most useful vlogs I’ve seen in awhile. Thank you for taking the time to produce this. TUI so much cheaper than the others but I wonder for how much longer it will remain that way especially with all the airports improvements.
I think it will be cheaper for quite a while
This was great provides alternative to Orlando Waiting patiently to get a peek at the wall paper lol
All is revealed Monday
Cracking vlog thank you. We always use TUI to fly to Orlando, and its interesting see the difference between Sanford and Melbourne, the amenities, lay out, car hire, distance etc. We fly out in October and just watching this alleviates some nerves about what we can expect on arrival. Really appreciate the routes we can take to the parks as well, really helpful advice. Genuinely, and i mean this, one of the most informative vlogs we’ve ever seen. Bravo to you guys 👏 New subscribers as well 😃👍
Welcome and thank you for watching !
Brilliant! Anyone booking with TUI should watch this vlog. Period 🇬🇧🇺🇸
Thank you

Thank you , we try to pack the vlogs with info as opposed to just parks. On Monday one coming on the new Terminal C at MCO that opens this month
Thanks so much for taking the time to do this vlog. We have a villa in Clermont, and have used SFB for a few years, with a journey time of around 1hr to US Hwy 27. Our son has special needs, so good to know about the disabled assistance and sunflower programme. Thanks again.
Glad it helped
Took my family to Florida in 1998, my sons were only 6 and 8, what a great holiday. We stayed in Kissimmee, but ventured to the beaches at Melbourne 4 or 5 times.
We all enjoyed or time there, its clean with lots do and see, prefect for families. My sons are grown up now, one lives in South Korea with his wife, but have warm happy

So happy it brought you some happy memories. It's comments like yours that make all the effort worthwhile!

I see what you mean about Melbourne being a small airport, you cracked me up laughing when you said the airport is increasing from having 2 security lanes up to 4, and they're also adding some new toilets! 🤣🤣🤣
Made me smile when that was their big headline, bless. Thanks for watching
Thank you both, we fly in on the 21st and this is so helpful.
Curious to see the drive on 192 as we are staying in Davenport.
Hope all is well with you both. X
Easy drive as other routes are stressful , even for Americans. No Tolls etc... Cool stops along the way. Local hospitality. Always say how happy you are to bere and thank them. Southern Hospitality is key here. You will yes Mam , thank you , etc...... It makes or breaks the day. This is not Woke areas.
Thank you for the vlog I’m coming from Bristol next year will they have a duty free shop 😂😎😘
There is nothing documented on a duty free shop. I have reached out to the airport for comment
Being from Florida originally from West Virginia,there are alot of underutilized airports in Florida like Melbourne and Daytona Beach ,so there's plenty of room for growth .These smaller airports are relatively easier to get in and out of than the major airports.
They are a lot less stressful for sure
This was super helpful - looking forward to trying Melbourne ourselves in September x
I'm glad it helped. Lovely people at Melbourne
Very good and informative video
Glad TUI is there. I will definately be giving this trip a thought.
I reside in the UK, I am fine with flying with them.
Thanks , glad it helped
Great info for tui travellers, nice to know that tui are doing transfers...very informative and presented in a fun way...thank you from Cheshire.
I was looking for Melbourne Australia but decided to watch this anyway out of interest. Great informative report. Will come in handy if i ever get over that way. Ha!ha! All the best!
I ended up with Melbourne Australia while I was looking for Melbourne FL 🤣🤣
This is so great Bazza!! We are flying in May from Newcastle to Melbourne and was a little worried about it being a long drive, but looks like it’s gonna be super quick getting through immigration, so it’s all good. Thank you guys for thinking of this and us Brit’s too 🤗💕👍🥳 P.S love your work guys.. (Mrs Bazza, you keep him right, ha ha)
Oh she does !

Very interesting volg and helpful. We fly with TUI to Melbourne in just over 5 weeks. It is a very small airport. Look forward to your departure vlog to see whats air-side is like.
Love this airport would love to fly into this, even with the longer drive back to Orlando probably still works out quicker to get through

Keep safe. 👍
Thanks for watching, glad the info was useful
Hi Guys! Thanks so much for doing this vlog, it’s very helpful. We are flying with TUI on May 10th so good to know. We have a package so have transfers. A lot of people are negative about the transfer time, but TUI was far cheaper than Virgin so I’m happy to snooze on the coach! Thanks again, love all your vlogs xx
Swings and roundabouts
Agreed we fly 9th and it was the price for us that swung it xx
So was the transfer included in the package price?
@@ld13903 yep, it was for ours!
Tui used to use Orlando Sanford. I flew there loads of times. I don’t recall using MCO ever with Tui before.
TUI only fly to Melbourne FL not MCO
Reminds me of Sanford Airport in the 1980’s! This is in a great location for cruises out of Port Canaveral, Marella will do great business for UK travelers.
Thanks for pulling this together. Very useful information as TUI changed the airport without informing us. As the trip was rescheduled there was no alternative.

Vlogs and info on MLB are few and far between so THANKYOU for taking the time to cover it.
Yes 192 will be the best route. I agree I tried looking for vlogs to do some research before we went down but could not find anything
This vlog is getting referenced on the Orlando Trip Advisor forum 👍🏻
That’s great people are finding it useful
Thanks both, first time landing at Melbourne with Tui next year so very useful. Will probably go via 192 bit more interesting than the I95.
I live 2 miles away, love this airport. A lot of close beaches, Melbourne Beach, and Canova (one of the few doggies beaches in Florida), just off Eau Gallie Blvd.if you are traveling with Rover. .
We love that area
Love this little airport. My Grandparents lived in Melbourne till they passed and I would occasionally find better rates there from Atlanta than to MCO.
Nice share , this airport is about the size of norwich airport near where i live.Always interesting to see other choices for flights etc 👍😎
The 192 back across to the Kissimmee area is fine until you get to the St, Cloud area because of the time of day it does get busier. Quite a lot of the Disney area rental homes are out towards the end of the 192 and down the US27 towards davenport or or even Haines City. Huge development happening out in this area too so the 192 option from Melbourne will become more relevant as places like Margaritaville increase the vacation homes available.
Great info having always flown into MCO I may give TUI and Melbourne a go the next time
They are lovely folks at the airport
Bazza - You hit 15k viewers for this one Top Marks !!
Thank you Gordon
You can by an E-Pass scanner from Publix (amongst others) and set it up after you get there within, I think, 24 hours and and your tolls will go on it. You can by an E-Pass Mini which have brought home for our families visit in September. These you set up before leaving the UK. Cost $4.99.
Good to know
Great video thanks, flying there in September. Might can off Virgin in favour of Tui if all goes well
Very Informative vlog bazza and Mrs bazza, nice to see the actual airport, I would certainly fly there if it saves me and the family £££.
Very helpful. Thanks!
I live here in Melbourne. I learned to fly planes here 30 years ago.
That's very cool
Nice informational vlog Barry, thanks 👍🏻 we fly here in September from Newcastle. Only thought that dreads us is the length of time the transfer takes: 2 hours 😩
It’s a good 90mins but an easy drive
Great video. We are flying back into MCO in sept after 3 years away due to covid. Was lovely to see that blue sky again and the honk of the cars being locked. Thank you
Every time when I am filming lol
Again great vlog and after watching this I’m sticking to Mco thank you roll on June 17th
Roll on !!
What a fantastic vlog. Absolutely full of useful information. We’ve just come back, however, we also go again later in the year and will be using this airport. Awesome work 🙌👏👏❤️
Thank you
Probably one of the most informative vlogs i've seen, we're flying into Melbourne with TUI from Bristol in May so found this very helpful, thanks very much for posting and you've earned yourself a subscriber, cheers.. 👍🏻
Thanks for watching
Thanks for sharing this one Barry & Maxine. The change in airport put us off booking with TUI so this is really appreciated for the future. 🧡
Cheers
Great vlog guys very useful, can’t wait to get back in September ✨
Tui moving to Melbourne is probably a reasonable decision. It should save them a bit of fuel to help with costs, be a bit quicker. Ok onward journey bit longer equals this out. But smaller airport, as long as staffed should be super quick.
I always take 192. Not stress and fun to see the real Floeida in that hour. Don't forget the weather lol
I live here.
Also I would rather leave from MLB as I travel to PVD> 1 stop in ATL. and gone. I leave 6:00 a.m and arrive final destination Providence R.I. Easier than Orland and Boston if going to Cape Cod. Peter Pan bus right to the Cape.
Yes I like MLB , I used to work up in an office in Foxboro MA and PVD was my go to airport. I remember it when the car rental place was next to the terminal, not a mile away over the bridge lol
Reminds me very much of Doncaster Robin Hood, still a great informative vlog though cheers Mr @ Mrs b
Thanks for watching
Absolutely love Charlottesville-Albermarle airport.
As do we, I flew out of there weekly from 2005 to 2015
Very nice G'day from Adelaide Australia. Up the Villa
There is certainly a desperate need of more restrooms here at Melbourne. When we left 2 weeks ago the restroom near the lounge area and check in had only 1 of the 3 stalls usable. NOT good enough. Also we had to wait until the Manchester flight travelled across to be our ride home. SEVEN hours late. NOT the fault of the Melbourne Airport but down to issues back home in Manc.

Outstanding Bazza and mrs B love your RUclips channel info is great and I love the banter, Keep rockin it guys 🤘🏻⭐️🤘🏻
We will
We just booked for here after our disney cruise was cancelled (cant get off the ship in europe with an unvaccinated 4 year old apparently due to cdc guidance???). But anyway, got a late deal for fly drive with tui at £390 pp so why not give it a bash, you’ve certainly given me a bit of confidence in the new airport and ill just expect a bit of a wait at customs/check in and not get worked up about it!
Thanks Bazza and your good lady. We are really grateful for this. A fabulous use for vlogging and its being shared around the facebook holiday sites like wildfirw. Really good clear information. You clearly hadn't been on your bottles of Blue Moon when you did this lol ;-) Hee hee! Coming in on the 11th May and maybe we'll bump into you around and about. That's if you have time to pop out as you have house guests currently dont you? x
I was out drinking with the tourists last night. Suffering today!!
@@ThemeParkBazza omg.....you brave guy.
A useful video Bazza, but bear in mind not everyone will be billeted on I-Drive. Our rental home is just off the 192 , 1 mile from the US27 so the I95/528 wouldn't work for our guests. But, as I said a good and useful video so thanks for posting.
Yes 192 is best for you
Thank you - For very useful post on Melbourne Airport . Gives us a great view of what too expect .
You are welcome
Thanks for all the information, We really enjoy watching you both on your Vlogs. We have just shared your information on "It's Orlando time" page on FB. Keep up the great work. 👍
Thank you!
Very informative.
Great vlog. Thank you for that. My wife & I are flying with TUI to Melbourne in September so this was a great help. Also we love watching you & mrs bazza 😁. Keep up the good work 👍🏻
Thank you
Thanks - that is really helpful and useful 👏👏. Whilst we will not be using TUI we know friends who are and will let them know to watch this essential video
Cheers
What an incredibly useful video, thank you for talking the time to make it .
Thanks for watching
Great vlog. We normally fly into Sanford so nice to see what MLB looks like. Thanks for taking the time to do this Mr and Mrs B 🍻
Welcome
So thorough and helpful! Thank you!
Thanks for making this video! We are using this route from Manchester in August! Very informative ☺️
Glad it helped
Late check-in from me 👋 (away for a family wedding weekend)
Very informative vlog and it looks like my kind of airport,I'm not a fan of busy noisy airports,it's just a shame it's a longer drive after a long flight. It's so good of you both to go out of your way to film this vlog though and it's definitely very useful.
Love you two having a bit of fun together with the flying bug ☺ xx
I was willing to kill it :-)
@@ThemeParkBazza 😂 you two are the best xx
Very useful video thank you
Thanks for your time doing this vlog, very informative. Arriving there via TUI in two weeks time with a wheelchair user......so will be a good test (usually flying into Sanford in the past). TUI will provide a Welfare Bus to Pop Century this time, but the next visit in September will be a hire car and a villa, so thanks for the driving advice! Take care!!
Glad it was useful
Great topic guys, this opens up the east coast to us from the uk. Perfect for a few beach days then a cruise 🛳 👌
Yes there was a Carnival cruise check in desk we saw
Excellent video , my family and I are coming early July this year and we can’t wait .
Cheers
Very informative vlog. Well done Bazza's x
Thanks
Heading to this airport later this month through TUI. Looking forward to it. TUI also providing the coach connection
Great, takes all the hassle out
Thanks for this very helpful vlog. Definitely one to consider :)
Glad it was helpful
Just stumbled upon your channel. Very informative. I can remember flying into Sanford on my first ever visit (coach transfer to Orlando), and last time we flew into Fort Lauderdale to save money (as we’re restricted to school holidays). It did save £££ but was a very long drive after a long flight! Thank you again, I’m off to have a look at some of your back catalogue of vlogs now!
Thank you for watching !
Brilliant video. Beautifully timed as info on the airport is scarce. We are flying over in August. Thank you both so much
Welcome !
Booked to fly from Doncaster to Melbourne in September. Should be interesting comparing both airports as never flown from Doncaster and it's a small airport or landed in Melbourne. Hoping the faster times through customs/security etc will balance out the longer travel time to universal.
Great vlog for any Tui customers flying into their new airport. To me it seems quite a distance to travel after a long flight but I can also see the advantages. Hopefully I'll get to try it one and be able see for myself if it was a good move. I think having transfers also puts them in a win win situation really because you could have a nice little "Nanna Nap" 😉 onroute to your digs and maybe hit the parks on your very first. Thank you for filming, editing and sharing such an informative vlog. Take care 🙂
Thank you for watching , I hope it was helpful
Another incredibly informative vlog - thank you 😊
Glad it was helpful
Thank you for taking the time to do these airport information vlogs...realy useful 👍
Cheers
Thank you for taking the time to produce a very thorough and informative vlog. I'm flying from Edinburgh in June and was a bit concerned from the comments I've seen from other FB groups etc. A great visual of what it looks like now and the possible changes we may see in a couple of months.
Glad it was useful
very useful video. We headed over that way on our recent trip when visiting Cocoa Beach after the space centre. Easy drive from Orlando. We also sent time on Playa Linda Beach further up to watch the shuttle launch. Very remote and nothing there exceot toilets Ithink festival toilets lol) but beach is beautiful and great for launches.
Thanks , glad it was useful
Great vlog, really useful for anyone going with TUI
Thank you
Wouldn’t have even known this airport existed!
Only came on the radar when TUI started flying there the other week
This is a great vlog we hopefully land at melbourne on 2 may for disney subject to covid test. Cant wait to watch the 192 road trip, love seeing the road trip and what to look out for. 🙂
That will hopefully be out next week
Thanks folks been waiting for this !! On the MLB website they were saying the terminal would be ready in May - so fingers crossed as we fly in first week of May - but at least I now know the layout & rentals location. MCO next trip !!
I think May is optimistic to be fair
Thank you for all of your really helpful info. Can't wait to see it for real later in the year. We don't tend to spend time eating or drinking at airports anyway so this will be perfect for us.
Great
Thanks for this as its the airport we are flying into come july. Cant wait. 1st trip since oct 2019
Whoooo
Really good, thanks for this. Definitely a future option especially as it has a Gatwick option. 👍🏻
I only charge $100 transfer cost for you
@@ThemeParkBazza we can do a box of PG Tips 🤷🏼♂️🤣
Yrh your right Bazza Tui UK is now moving the Melbourne Airport from Stanford, not sure why, as Stanford was closer to universal / disney I've been told Melbourne is futher out, but thxs Bazzas for showing us around, what to expect for those who travel to florida with tui
Thank you for watching, I hope it was useful
A huge thank you 4 doing this vlog , really informative , very useful. We all being well going 2 florida in September with tui , been with them several times now always the cheapest Sandford airport was OK as a airport but just found it so boring old and dated and nothing there the security area was so tiny as we get are transfers with tui they pick u up stupidly early that's the down side . With the investment Melbourne is having it looks more will be there in time , looks fresh and modern . Keep up the good work both .
Thank you
Thank you for this video. Super informative and really helpful, we're flying into MLB in June 1 and looking forward to trying somewhere new.
Glad it was helpful
Hi Bazza and mrs. Bazza, we've enjoyed all your vlogs on Melbourne, and many more , we live down in Torquay Devon, and Bristol is a very handy airport for us , to travel to Orlando, But it seems Tui have now dropped it from Bristol to Melbourne for next year ,its disappeared fom next years web site such a shame , i read in some forums people have had their flights changed to gatwick, looking forward to flying their ,but hopefully they may put it back on, 🤞
I hope so. The demand is growing g for Florida flights
Really appreciate you doing this as we're hopefully flying into this airport on Friday! I think it'll be nice to go into an airport thats not too busy. And I think we'll be taking the i95 and 528. Great vlog 👍
Have a great flight !
Great video really enjoyed it we always travel with Tui when we go to Florida so this year is a new airport for us to travel to which one we have never been to before so your video was very helpful looking forward to your second one to come out on the drive down 192
That one will be out on Wednesday next week
Thank u so much for trekking out to the Airport, it’s nice to have an idea where we will be flying into. We have a transfer with Tui to take us to Endless Summer. Eekk this make me excited 😍 So looking forward to getting back to Orlando & seeing u guys 🥰 Xx
Be great to see you again as well. We can have a good natter
Absolutely xx
