Thank you for watching and subscribing! We love it when other people from NI tune in. At least you can understand the accent 😂! You really can’t fault the Rosen- clean, comfortable, great location, daily maid service and fantastic price. Where are you moving to after you leave the Rosen?
Amazing! Did you go for the Dining Plan? We’re looking at August next year and are considering onsite again (for part of it) to get the DDP. You’ll get wrapped up in that Disney bubble. What a trip though, you all must be so excited!
@@thekennafamilyadventures5 yes we’ve got the free Disney dining with the 2 quick service. Excited to be in the bubble - don’t plan on leaving it for the 10 days!
Having stayed at a few Rosen hotels and other hotels in,Orlando Rosen hotels are fantastic value for money and found the staff very helpful clean and friendly high recommended
Thanks for watching. We totally agree- they are fabulous value for money. We’ve stayed in more expensive hotels and didn’t have a daily maid service. Great locations and value. Are you planning on going to Orlando any time soon?
No problem. Thanks for watching and we hope you found it useful. Are you planning on staying at the Rosen? If so, let us know if you have any questions.
Thank you Carly! So glad you are enjoying them. 2 weeks! Wow! You must be so excited now that it’s so close. Which parks are you looking forward to the most?
Good tour of the property. Haven't seen too many stay here, as I think they prefer the other Rosen Inn further up on I drive. How was the room, as there are five of you? I know it can be difficult getting rooms for 5 people, as I am that family also.
Thank you for watching glad you liked it. The room was fine for what we needed. We wasn’t in the room other to sleep and freshen up so it suited us for this type of holiday as we were hardly there. The beds were so comfortable and the rollaway bed went in front of the window beside one of the double beds so we still could move around the room freely. Are you planning a trip?
Thanks for replying, guys. It is helpful as there are so many options, but i guess it's down to what is most practical and beneficial for your family. And with a young family like myself, your trips really help me to see what would be most suited for us in all aspects of a Florida trip. I hope to plan a trip 🤞🤞
Thanks for watching and subscribing. Yes you can clear US customs from Ireland. We’ve used that service in previous vlogs. On this trip we flew via Canada. You can only clear US immigration when flying to the US. I e got other videos up flying to the US with Aer Lingus that uses pre-clearance. Check out that video. Are you going to Orlando soon?
Thankyou for posting ive just booked for 2026 having a large family it'd cost so much more at other places so would take me alot longer to be able to go to Orlando. Your video has given me an idea of the Rosen a bit more because i was skeptical. I also wasnt aware of no resort fees and didnt realise how big it was
Thanks for watching and subscribing Lindsey, we appreciate it. Glad you found the video useful and it’s given you some peace of mind. The Rosen is a great option and is fabulous value for money. I bet you’re looking forward to the trip? Jem did another video on tips for planning a trip to Orlando. Check it out.
Hi Lindsey, we haven’t booked for 2026 yet. Focusing on next year for now. A lot of hotels and travel companies won’t have released their 2026 prices yet.
@thekennafamilyadventures5 Oh I will, thankyou very much. Yes very excited. We've a holiday this year and next but wanted to get this big one booked so I can take my time paying it off. Thankyou for doing this video because it's given me an idea of what it's actually like compared to just seeing photos
I’m not sure. I believe they started the work in November and had just finished block A mid February. They were just making a start on block B 20th February. There are 7 blocks.
Hi Chloe, Thanks for watching and subscribing. Yes, they have a luggage room that you can leave your stuff in before check in or check out. When do you go out there?
Thank you for sharing. This is one of the places I'm thinking of staying at. I was wondering do they charge you a resort fee and are they any hidden fees people may not be aware about?
Thanks for watching and subscribing Luke. No resorts fees at any Rosen hotel. They also don’t charge parking fees ( if you have a car). There shouldn’t be any other hidden fees but it may depend on who you book through. We got the roll away bed included but with some sites it was an extra nightly charge.
Thanks for watching and subscribing. Not sure if you can request a specific room but I know others have requested a specific block, floor and view (pool view or I-Drive view). We saw the other Rosen which was further up I-Drive closer to Universal. Looked good too. What were the restaurant options that were close to the Rosen International?
@thekennafamilyadventures5 that's great thanks and am doing disney and universal was last there in 2013 and this is my first ever solo holiday so looking forward to it but also nervous too lol 😆 but be grand
Staying here in 6 weeks time 😬 Is there a particular block which is better to stay in over others or are they all pretty much the same ? We’ve always had a villa previously but with only 3 of us going a hotel made sense. Location looks ideal 👌🏻👌🏻
Hi Michael, thanks for watching and subscribing. Regarding your question, it will depend on how far along they are with the renovations by the time you get there. Might be worth emailing the hotel to request a room in a block away from the renovations. Regarding your room, each block has pool view (also looks towards the I-4, or view of drive. We reckon I-drive view is slightly quieter and you can also see some of the fireworks at Disney from the higher floors. We’re considering a villa holiday, which resorts would you recommend?
@@thekennafamilyadventures5 We’ve generally stayed just off Highway 27, there are some fantastic communities along there. Calabay Parc is a good one, Highlands Reserve also lovely. I wouldn’t stay as far out as Haines City as we stayed at Southern Dunes in 2019 and coming back from the parks took nearly an hour, the I4 was a nightmare !
@@thekennafamilyadventures5 thank you, we haven’t been for 5 years so really looking forward to it. Did you find it has got quite expensive since COVID?
Food and shopping wise I’d say yes, slightly more expensive. I guess it’s got more expensive everywhere though, even at home. At least there’s plenty of options for eating out that don’t cost the earth.
I would never stay in a motel that's at least 40-50 years old. With all the options in Orlando, I suggest an all suite hotel w/ free breakfast like: Residence Inn, Homewood Suites, Home 2 Suites by Hilton, Embassy Suites, Hyatt House or Hyatt Place,. Also, SpringHill Suites or Towne Place Suites by Marriott. More room plus free breakfast.
Thanks for the comment Jeff. You are absolutely right, there are so many options in Orlando regarding accommodation. That’s why we review and tour the places we stay in- to help people make their minds up if that motel / hotel is suitable for them. The free breakfast you mentioned is a huge benefit, especially with the rising cost of eating out in Orlando. Although the free parking and no resort fees at the Rosen locations will also be a huge factor for people to consider. The Rosen suited us on trip for that exact reason but we may choose differently on future trips depending on other factors. The list you’ve provided gives us a few to look at. Thanks again and I hope you enjoy our other videos.
My mistake guys. It was that hotel😊 think it was our second visit back to Orlando back then. Many great memories of the hotel😊 Pizza Hut caught me out. Popped in there after hours at the park. Just ordered what would have back in the uk. Didn’t realise the sizes are much bigger than ours😮 had a lovely waitress who boxed up what we couldn’t eat, to take back to the room😊😊😊
No worries Geoff. The dinner box from Pizza Hut was a ton of food for just over $30. Bargain in Orlando. No better place than Orlando for making life long memories!
We love this hotel and have been staying here since 2010. It has happy memories for us as a family as we came a few times with my mum and dad. Dad has passed away now, and my mum can't travel now due to her health. You are right about the staff, we love them so friendly and helpful. The grounds and hotel is clean too. Roll on 2025 lol. Thanks for sharing with us xx
Thanks so much for commenting. You are lucky to have had the chance to make memories in Orlando with your parents. You get to relive those every time you go back. We loved the hotel, it was perfect for what we needed!
@thekennafamilyadventures5 I will always treasure the memories. I can't watch our vlogs with my dad on yet. Great to have the memories though. Dropped a subbed to you too. Sorry i thought I'd already done it. Brain fog is annoying lol. Xx
Fantastic memories of this hotel. Thank you for the video - nice dose of nostalgia for me. Hopefully next year, i'll finally get back there!
Thanks Matt. Glad you enjoyed it. When were you last at the Rosen?
Best tour of this hotel I’ve seen! Thank you! We travel in 400 days from NI too and we are staying here for our first 11 nights!

Have a brilliant time and thanks for watching 😀
Great tour video, thank you.
Thanks for watching, as always, Andy.
We used to stay here a lot when it was Quality Inn Plaza
Thanks for watching and subscribing John. How long ago was that? When did it change to Rosen Inn?
Thanks for sharing this!
No problem. Thanks for watching and we hope you found it useful. Are you planning on staying at the Rosen? If so, let us know if you have any questions.

Thanks for watching and hope you found it helpful. Are you planning a trip there?
@@thekennafamilyadventures5 yes next year! Love it there - Have been there twice before but wanted to see if there will be building works.
It could be, if not I would think it would be nearly finished and be up at the end blocks. Request a room in Block A or B. Have a brilliant time 😀
Hi new subscriber😁, do they do a left luggage? Av tryed looking but cant find the info anywhere.xx

Think I stayed at this hotel many years ago. As I remember us walking across to Pizza Hut. But I think it was under a different name?
Thanks for watching and subscribing Geoff. I believe our hotel has always called the Rosen but there are others near by that you may be thinking of?
You could possibly be right Geoff.
