We were once evacuated from the Gulf Coast when a storm was imminent - scary times, so fully understand your decision 🙏 However, I have dined out on the fact Virgin Holidays evacuated us to The Florida Mall Hotel (bliss for Mrs B 🤣🤣) Thanks for entertaining us today ❤️❤️
Thank you for watching! Those storms are really unpredictable and we honestly didn’t fancy getting caught up in any of it! Ooooh love a bit of Florida Mall! Does Mrs B know there’s a Primark there now? 😂😂
We're back now a couple of weeks from our Hollywood and Anaheim trip and really liked Universal Hollywood but its not a patch on Orlando. Did enjoy the Jurassic World ride thought that was better than Orlando. Another great vlog. You pair are just a hoot ❤
Thanks for watching Angela! Glad you had a great time and agree about the Jurassic World ride vs Jurassic park! Who knows! They may update the Florida one at some point…
Hi there both of you. Aww such shame that you had to change your plans of the beach days but those Florida storms are pretty wild at times , so always good to have a plan B !! :) What a fab stay you had at GF. And the Hilton Garden Inn looked really nice too, very modern and spruced up. Great to see Universal. x
I agree about The Bourne Experience... you cannot possibly put into words how to explain the effects and pace of it .... just go and watch , we went for the first time last year and had not thought to go in our other visits ! why , why why ? we missed out so much on the experience but you live n learn so if you get the chance , just do it 😊😊😊
Toms bar would be good for me I love my American football having grown up in America… The room didn’t really match up to the Grand Floridian that balcony looked lovely… That a outrageous price for the beer,which is like water anyway! $99 each…crikey O’Riley!!!! Shame you plans got changed…oh well you’ll just have to go back and do them…..lol I’m all caught up on the Florida series and Virgin Voyages….. Looking forward to seeing your next adventures…👍🇬🇧
Thank you! If folk can’t find something to watch in that bar then there’s something wrong hahah. We enjoyed our stay at the Hilton. We enjoyed the Watch Bar but yeah, a bit pricey for what it was!
Hi Paul & Tom. I was lucky enough to go to Orlando in 2022 and Hollywood in 2023 and the only thing lacking in Universal Orlando is the studios tour which, for obvious reasons, they can only do in Hollywood.
Hiya! Thanks for coming along! Yep the tour in Hollywood is definitely a big plus…. But there’s way more to do in Orlando and each of the themed areas is way bigger! We’d probably go back to Hollywood at some point though!
Thanks for joining us! It’s probably a very different experience if you’re with a group… as it gets more well known, it will hopefully be busier. We wouldn’t rush back but glad we tried it!
Hiya! Thanks for watching! Hmmmm really not sure! Still lots of planning going on. Plus side is that all those who couldn’t manage to get to the states would be able to experience universal so hopefully there’s room for everyone and it would be great to have more Harry Potter attractions on UK soil!
i've been to both universals but for me hollywood outshines florida just a tad because of the studio tour same with disney i adore disneyland more than disneyworld
Thanks for joining us Tracey! We loved the tram tour! It was lots of fun and definitely a point of difference… we just like the rides more in Florida… but also agree that so much of Disneyland is better than some of the WDW parks!
We agree about Universal Hollywood. So many people told us it was better than Orlando but we thought the 2 just didn't compare, Orlando is so much better, they have a lot more rides and Citywalk is better too. The one thing we did really enjoy there was the Studio Tour, we went on that a couple of times!
Thanks Rach! Oh the tram ride at Hollywood was brilliant! Would love to do the VIP tour and get up close to some of those sets! It really is a million miles away from Orlando tho… and Epic will be something else again!
Great to see I was part of your vlog😂 I’m the person in the live stream that said ‘Paul’s jokes rule’ 😂😂 love you guys xxx
Hahahaha Thanks for watching Nicola… although we need to talk about your love of the jokes 😂😂😂
Great video 👍🌻🥰🇨🇦🇨🇦🏴
Thank you Annie! Glad you enjoyed it!
Great vlog guys, that pint tho lol 😂 can’t wait for next one ❤
Thanks Tina! Just trying to be butch! 😂😂

Another cracking vlog guys roll on the nxt one 👌
Cheers Mark! Glad you enjoyed it! Next one drops in a couple of days!
I completely agree Paul having done both Hollywood and orlando theme parks orland is on a league of it's own will forever have our hearts 😊
Thank you Sharon! Yep, definitely the better of the two and when the third park comes….. it’ll be even bigger!
Another great vlog guys bring on the sillyness we can never have enough 😂😂

Thanks for watching! Not often you see Paul with a Pint…. But he does like a big one! 😂😂😂
Yeah you boys must be gutted about not being able to go to Clearwater hotel as planned due to storm Debbie
It was a little bit disappointing Scott, but we can go back another day! Better to stay safe!!
Also I’m glad you finally acknowledged your lift honking on every floor 😂 when it first started we instantly said that would drive us mad
😂😂😂 For some reason it’s a standard thing in a lot of the American lifts…. And when Paul’s talking it sounds even worse! 😂😂😂😂 Thanks for tuning in!
Brilliant as always. Sat watching with my 3 month old grandson Tommy. He's transfixed 😅
Hahahah Thanks so much Catherine! Oh the poor lad! Put some ceebeebies on quick before he’s corrupted! 😂

We were in universal hollywood in may ,wasn't a scratch on orlando Universal, but still enjoyed the visit. Great vlogs from you both ,love them
Thanks so much! Loved Hollywood for its charm and originality but yep, Orlando is in a different league!
I'd pack pot noodles and hit the merch hahaha
Oooob we love merch!
Toms bar would be good for me I love my American football having grown up in America…
The room didn’t really match up to the Grand Floridian that balcony looked lovely…
That a outrageous price for the beer,which is like water anyway! $99 each…crikey O’Riley!!!!
Shame you plans got changed…oh well you’ll just have to go back and do them…..lol
I’m all caught up on the Florida series and Virgin Voyages…..

Another great vlog. I don't think the acoustics and prices would be a hit for me with that restaurant but glad for the preview.
Thanks for joining us! It’s probably a very different experience if you’re with a group… as it gets more well known, it will hopefully be busier. We wouldn’t rush back but glad we tried it!
Great vlog guys when do you both travel to orlando in October as we fly 14th October going to horror nights at both universal and seaworld
Thank you for joining us! We’re out on the 26th of October so the end of the month. Hope you have a great time!
❤
Thanks for watching!
Do you think Universal GB will go ahead? I can't see it myself as I think it would damage a lot of the Florida business from the UK.
Hiya! Thanks for watching! Hmmmm really not sure! Still lots of planning going on. Plus side is that all those who couldn’t manage to get to the states would be able to experience universal so hopefully there’s room for everyone and it would be great to have more Harry Potter attractions on UK soil!
What dates in October will you guys be in Orlando?just asking for a friend 😅
Hiya! Thanks for watching! We’re back for a week from the 26th……..
Best place for buying universal tickets from uk?
Any tips? We have booked for end January 😮😮😮😮😮😮
Hi Fiona! All sorts of good places! We’ve used Floridatix & Orlando Attraction Tickets in the past!
I really would pack pot noodles
Hahahaha Chicken and Mushroom all the way!
Ooooo. The arm on that sofa needs scrubbing
Hahahaha get the vim out!
i've been to both universals but for me hollywood outshines florida just a tad because of the studio tour same with disney i adore disneyland more than disneyworld
Thanks for joining us Tracey! We loved the tram tour! It was lots of fun and definitely a point of difference… we just like the rides more in Florida… but also agree that so much of Disneyland is better than some of the WDW parks!
I hate runny white sauce too tom
He still ate it tho! Hahaha
I thought the meal looked nasty
It was tasty! Just the mac & cheese that wasn’t a great consistency!
Who is the best villian from disney? She's out Monday
The mistress of evil!
That Mac & cheese didn’t look right.. more like Mac and milk
Hahah yep, it definitely wasn’t the thickest consistency! Tasty tho! Thanks for watching!
I thought it was cheap to eat and drrink/soft drinks in the USA. I dont think so
Depends where you go. We do find cheaper alternatives during the trips!
We agree about Universal Hollywood. So many people told us it was better than Orlando but we thought the 2 just didn't compare, Orlando is so much better, they have a lot more rides and Citywalk is better too.
