- IT'S OUR ORLANDO TRAVEL DAY! We're heading out on a budget solo trip to Orlando Florida for Walt Disney World & Universal Orlando staying at Rosen Inn Lake Buena Vista.
We're taking you along for the ride as we jet off from London Heathrow to Orlando, Florida. We're flying out with Virgin Atlantic economy class and flying into Tampa International Airport this time rather than Orlando International Airport.
We'll show you the full process from Heathrow to Tampa including airport process and flight itself with the plane and the food onboard. We'll also take you through the process at Tampa International Airport and hiring a car.
We drive from Tampa to Orlando stopping at Walmart in Orlando along the way to grab some snacks, Denny's to grab dinner before we check in to the Rosen Inn Lake Buena Vista where we'll give you a room tour of this budget hotel just around the corner from Walt Disney World.
Enjoy!

Confusing when you keep saying we and your on your own 😂
Ah yeah! I get it, I say we as I’m taking the viewer 😂
New & subscribed! Watching now and I love how you walk and take us through with you at the airport! Exciting! Others say where they’re headed, cut then they’re there. Ok back to your adventure!
Thanks for watching and subscribing! I like to make sure people get the full experience ☺️
You should have had at least one day at the beach. 🏖️. The Gulf coast waters are beautiful 😊 Also the seafood in that area is great!
I should have! I’m always too thirsty for the theme parks 😂
Got yourself a new subscriber mate! Loved the video! Can’t wait to see more of your holiday to Orlando!
We stayed there at Rosen Inn in October 2023, and while I thought it was okay, it was very basic and could do with a bit of an update! Very good for the money though if you’re on a budget! Disney hotels are extortionate!
Thanks for the upload mate!
Thanks so much for watching! Means a lot!
Absolutely agree with that assessment, the room and resort are very basic! But for the price you can’t beat it, the Disney hotels have really priced themselves out for a lot of people!
@@ABritTravelsdeffo agree with you there! The location for the Rosen Inn was perfect too! So close to Disney and Universal! You can’t beat it for the price! I would deffo stay there again though!
I was so shocked how close it was to Disney! Google maps didn’t do it justice 😂
Unfortunately there are no direct flights from Amsterdam to Tampa (just yet), so I'll be having a layover in Atlanta. Since I've been flying out twice a year, I got Global Entry, which is brilliant as you pass through immigration within minutes AND you get TSA Pre-Check, which allows you to go through security without taking anything out or off 🙂 It's currently still $100 for 5 years, but will go up to $120 later this year.
That’s unfortunate you can’t fly directly into Tampa! Atlanta is pretty good airport though!
Haven’t thought about Global Entry before but that sounds like a great deal if you visit often enough!
Brilliant video! Not looking forward to going back to Heathrow personally, Gatwick is so much easier and more officiant 😩 can't wait to see the rest of the series!
Thank you Jade! Yeah Gatwick is so much easier to navigate! Heathrow can be such a faff to navigate!
We flew out the 8th March, immigration was so quick this time 20 mins to get through ,it's was over 2 hours the twice before ,we're at rosen inn ,actually has two pools and water splash part for kids ,tried buffet this evening ,came complimentary,(one evening meal plus two days breakfast)coz virgin holiday ,so glad we didn't pay for it
The immigration is much quicker than in Orlando! The hotel is pretty good, food isn’t Michelin Star but it does for a quick meal right? Have an amazing time!
When we go as a family of 4 for a 2/3 week trip we stay at the lake Buena vista resort village & spa which are like sort of apartment rooms with 2 bathrooms and 2 or 3 bedrooms, has 2 pools one which is much smaller and quieter has a washer & dryer in etc. and then use that as a base for WDW / universal etc…
When we went just 2 of us for a week in 2019 we stayed at that exact hotel you are in in this vlog and again for a base basically just to sleep in it was fine.
I’ll have to check those out! We do like having an apartment, very useful to save a few £! This was a perfect resort for sleeping, good value and close to everything!
@@ABritTravels yes they are good . We have stayed there I think 4 times now and friends of our have also stayed there few times. Going again in October this year.
@juliajones2283 Have an amazing time in October, super jealous of that! We love Halloween in Orlando ☺️
Great vlog, have you saved compared to be on-site hotels without the rental car but flying to MCO? Keep up with the great vlogs
Thanks very much for watching! I think this time I have yes, I only went to Disney property 3 days so $90 on parking, car hire was around £250 for the week and meant I didn’t need Ubers to get around, the hotel was around £500 for the week and staying on property would have been about £900-1000 minimum so I’d say overall I’ve saved but every circumstance is different
Great video 👍 looking at going mid April on a cheap deal staying at Coco keys trying to do it on a budget this time though 🤣
Thanks for watching Robert! It’s definitely possible to do it on a budget, nice to stay on site but not needed! Hope you have a great time ☺️
I do prefer the target closer to LBV (by Vineland) still has all the essentials but not overwhelmingly huge 😂
I get this! This Walmart can be a nightmare at the wrong time 😂
As your on a budget,a price guide as you go would be helpful.
Ahhh yes that would have been very good! It’s not something I’ve necessarily done, out of staying in one of the cheapest hotels I could find and flying to Tampa rather than Orlando
Didn’t mind Tampa when I flew last April, at the time with BA Tampa was considerably cheaper than Orlando. Drive isn’t too bad into Orlando, would go back.
Yeah absolutely! I think if you can find a good deal then Tampa is definitely worth checking out! Thanks for watching by the way ☺️
@@ABritTravels Not a problem, keep up the good work!
Any issues at the hotel ? We will be checking in tomorrow.
No it was good, just a bit of road noise due to the room location. Have a great time!
Hello, do you have any recommendations for a good pre-paid travel card to pay for meals, outings etc? Thanks
If you’re looking for pre paid, I would say check out Revolut or post office, both have some good offers, my preferred would be Revolut personally ☺️ you can top it up as you go, store money on there for months and you get a great rate too!
We landed un orlando so imagine our surprise to be through immigration in 20 mins took 45 mins q for car😮
Oh sorry! Misunderstood! That’s a fantastic time through immigration then! Shame about the car otherwise that would have been a perfect run!
I’m confused you left someone at home??
Why they not with you? You didn’t explain why your on your own?
My wife stayed home to look after our dog so I went on my own
What is better as I'm a family of 6.....working and saving like you would never believe or having a RUclips channel and basically being paid to go to florida?.....
Sadly I’m not at a point yet where this pays for itself, it still costs more than I’d like it to but we often use airmiles for flights to reduce the cost as much as possible
