- Hello Everyone! It's Tom and Paul! We're The Blokes From Stoke! Sharing our love of Disney, Universal, Theme Parks, Travel, Florida and Home.
Welcome to our Florida February 2023 Vlog series!
It's TRAVEL DAY! Let's take you over to Terminal Three at London Heathrow and check in for our flight to Tampa on Virgin's shiny new A330neo planes!
First we have a pit stop at the number one lounge where we do a little bit of plane spotting, then it's boarding for our flight! We'll show you some more of our Premium seats and a few of the features of these brand new planes. We'll also show you everything we have on board during the flight.
Once we touch down in to Tampa, we'll show you a little more of the terminal and also where you can get the rental cars from. The final leg of our journey is a drive up to Orland in our shiny Mustang. So get ready to take to the skies as we head to the sunshine state once again!

Thanks so much Hannah! Great to have you come along on our adventures! If you really enjoy them, consider subscribing so you don’t miss a future episode!
Just found your channel and love it! So funny. Have only watched 3 vlogs but I knew you would choose the shepherds pie!
Hi Julia! Welcome on board and thanks so much! Hope you enjoy the content! Oooh that Shepherds Pie was delish!!!!
New viewer and follower. I enjoyed this vlog and look forward to watching more!
Hi Carina! Thank you so much for taking the time to check out our silliness and we’re delighted to hear that you’re ready for more mischief!!!
That was a heck of a travel day. Very enjoyable vlog as ever.
Thanks David! Nothing like making the trip a little bit more interesting! Luckily we didn’t need to rush… and Tampa is a cheaper route to get to!!!
That's big and pink! 😂😂😂
Naturally 😂😂😂
@@TheBlokesFromStoke hahaha
Just watching 2 blokes from Stoke. GO ON STOKE !
Cheers duck!
@@TheBlokesFromStoke no probs owd
New subscriber here. Really enjoyed watching your vlog. So much fun! 😀🙌
Hello there! Thanks you so much for coming along on our adventures! You’re very welcome… we don’t apologise, however for any issues with your state of mind after watching 😂😂😂
@@TheBlokesFromStoke 🤣😂👌
Great travel day, thanks for sharing ur adventure to tampa, we have only flown to mco.. we have put tampa on the list of airports and you really showed it really well and collecting the car seemed so easy.. great vlog ❤
Thank you! If your don’t mind that extra little drive, it’s great! Alternatively you could always have a night in Tampa, then do Busch gardens the next day and drive to Orlando afterwards! Only negative from us is the distance to get to the car rentals! Not what you need after that long flight!
Thank you another great vlog. I have had so many giggles at your hilarious discussions with each other.
Heheheh thanks so much Mary! It’s just the same off camera too so you can imagine what we’re like when we’re planning things. Glad you’ve enjoyed this episode!
Thank you for lovely video, you have just brought a bit of sunshine to my Sunday. X
Thank you so much. We’re delighted to hear this! More sunshine in our playlists so bring your sunglasses!!!
@@TheBlokesFromStoke ❤💥
A Mustang is the perfect car for a Florida trip. Great car. Thanks for sharing your travel adventures.
Thanks Cindy!!! Nothing like the wind in your hair and a sunburnt scalp! 😂😂😂
We usually like to watch all the vlogs in one go but with yours we just can’t wait and have to watch it weekly!! You really brighten our Sunday morning..thank you.
We’re very happy to join you for your Sunday coffee!!! Sorry to keep you hanging on each week heheh hopefully there’s less drama than a series of Game Of Thrones!
So enjoyed your travel day …thank you
Thanks for coming along with us Dee!!! Really glad you had fun!
Loved this one. Long travel day but worth it.
Thanks Alyson! Yeah it’s a long one… but we did save quite a bit on the flight so was worth it!
What a beast! The Mustang is nice as well 😉
We had one of those a few years back but in August and it was too bloody hot to have the roof down haha
Hahah oh Tom has a moan about having the roof off as his head gets burned!!!! Such a lovely ride!
Travel days can be so long but it’s all worth it in the end. Not flown to Tampa in years. You’ve definitely peaked my interest to see how you fit all that in a mustang! 😂
Looking forward to watching the series
Thanks so much folks! Oooh you’ll be surprised what we can fit in to a small space! Keeping you guessing til the very last episode tho! 😂😂 We actually didn’t mind the Tampa trip… and it was definitely cheaper price wise! In future we might stay the night upon arrival and maybe do Busch the next day before heading to Orlando… so many options!
Ohhh sailor
🛳️ 🚢 ⛴️
Awe boy’s love watching you in action , great blog , can’t wait to see the rest xx
Thank you Louise! A little bit of mischief never hurts anyone! Plenty more on the way!
Cuppa and. Catching up 😍
What a long but exciting Travel Day!!! looking forward to the series xx
Thanks lovely! It was that darn car hire! We could have been there far earlier if we’d not have had that to deal with! Cheers for coming with us tho!
Brilliant ..gives me butterfly’s watching this ..can’t wait till we go …Thanks Boys👏👏
Thank you Gary! Glad you’ve been enjoying the mischief!
We are on this vlog! 😂 We saw the little baby’s first flight pack and thought, we remember that! Then we saw us walking through the airport! We are a family of three, you can see us on the escalator as you are waiting for the lift. I feel a bit star struck 😂
Hi Rebecca! Thanks for watching! We’ll have a look back at this answer see if we can spot you! Hope you had a great trip wherever you were going.
@@TheBlokesFromStoke We had the week in Orlando. It was crazy that night in TPA at the car rental desks wasn’t it?
@@rebeccawilliams1908 Oh absolutely! Took forever!!!
Hi guys we came across your channel yesterday and have subscribed - very engaging content so well done. Nice travel day; we’re new to Disney vlogging and learning all the time. But we think you are winning the race in how many Florida trips you can do in 12 months - we can’t keep up with your trip numbers lol 😂 - all we can manage is two a year as flight costs are so high. Keep up the good work 👍😃 Best wishes, David, Sophie and Olivia 🇬🇧😎🛩🇺🇸🌴🏰🎡
Hiya! Thanks so much for taking the time to reach out! We really appreciate you coming with us on our daft adventures! We’ve only been doing this for a short time and are still learning ourselves but we think we’re starting to get the right balance of mischief, madness and a bit of informative content! 😂😂😂 Whilst we’re massive Disney fans, we also want to keep expanding our trip experiences as well as trying to do some separate home/day out stuff etc… we’ll definitely give you a cheeky sub back and of course we’ll dive in to your content too! Again, cheers for saying hello!
Great vlog guys, we were just over international drive at the Rosen Inn xx
Awwwwwww!!!! What were chances! Hope you had an amazing time!
Fab travel day - always interesting to see a new route, we might check out the Virgin Tampa route next year x looking forward to watching the rest of the trip x
Thank you for joining us folks! If you can cope with the little drive from Tampa, it might save you a few quid as the prices were coming out quite a bit cheaper!! Cheers as ever for coming along.
Great and fun vlog 🙂 I'll be going back in June to visit my friend who lives about a half hour drive from Tampa International. Unfortunately there are no direct flights from Amsterdam, so I'll have to travel via Atlanta, but I'm fine with that. My friend drives a Mustang, too, and the hood will likely be down when we drive back to his place. Of course, not having to pay for a hotel, I'll be there from June 14th until September 6th 🙂 Already thinking about the trip after that one, which should be from early December until the end of February 😁
Thanks for coming along with us Adrie! It’s great that you have a friend who you can stay with… it makes things so much easier. Hope you’re excited for your trip!
@@TheBlokesFromStoke Oh, I am. We've been getting along quite well, which I guess is important when you're basically living with someone for close to 3 months 🙂 We won't be going to the Orlando area, but we are thinking about a visit to 'Busch Gardens' and, of course, the beaches 🙂 We might even drive up to Illinois to visit with his family again. We did so last Christmas and that was definitely a sobering experience. We went from 22C in Florida to -10C in Illinois 🥶
@@ganymedes62 Oh always stay near the warmth!!! Busch gardens is lots of fun! We’re off to Cocoa beach in next week’s episode!
Guys your vlogs are so good now everything you want from one informative funny and wonderful Tom such a star, we are on the count down for our trip in May we have gone all in upper class both ways limousine transfers the Wish and Grand Floridian we were so hoping you might have been there while we were keep safe Andy and Vonnie
Thank you Andy! One day the stars will align and we’ll get to say hello properly! Thank you so much for your continued support and we are so excited for your upcoming trip! Life is so short so embrace everything!!! You’ll have a ball on the wish & the Grand Floridian is a dream of ours! #notjealousatall! See ya next Saturday!
Power mince 😂 lmaooooo you guys are hilarious! Great travel day vlog x
Thanks Lesley! Nothing like a power mince! Gets all those steps in! Cheers for watching!
Loving this and looking forward to the next vlog. Love you guys, you are such fun! X
Thank you Jane!!! We’re so grateful to have you watch! Next weeks is queued and ready!
We used to use Tampax and love the size of the airport the only drag is the time it takes to get up-to Orlando on that nasty I4. My favourite bit of the vlog was Toms face reacting to the Penthouse comment ( must not react ) ❤😂
😂😂😂😂 Like he’s ever seen a copy of that! The closest he’s ever got to penthouse is reaching for Take A Break! Drive wasn’t too bad but it would have been better if we’d not had to wait so long for the car! Nice airport tho….
I don’t mind admitting I love a good travel vlog. Flight looked amazing and I would even forgive the micro chicken to fly premium/premier 🤣. 👍
😂😂😂😂 Travel days are always good fun. Yep plane was lovely…. seat was even nicer on the way home… but stay tuned for that! 😉😉😉😉
Love u guys I'm a stokie xx I love thomas xxx
Awwww hello fellow Stokie!!! Thanks so much for watching! Don’t let Tom’s innocent face fool you! He’s naughty! Hope to have you with us on more adventures!
@@TheBlokesFromStoke oh ok he's not tht innocent loool xxx
🍷👨❤️👨👍
Another great vlog lads. Always great. This series will count down our trip too. Roll on May!! 😁
We are more than happy to help you with that countdown! Thanks so much for joining us on board!
A bouncy sausage i say lol
😂😂😂 Oh Nigella would be proud… what a description!
@@TheBlokesFromStoke 😂😂😂😂😂
Travel days are so exciting!!
We have never flown into tampa but it seems like a good option except for those car rental queues!!!
The first couple of times we went to Florida we had a mustang and 4 cases and managed too. It just took a lot of optimism haha xx
Hehehe thanks folks! We’d do it again to be honest so those queues didn’t deter us too much! We love a bit of Mustang TETRIS too. It can be done!!!
I have only just found your channel. The banter between you is brilliant and the content of your vlogs is great. I have subscribed and look forward to watching all of the following vlogs from your trip.
Thanks so much Rosie! We’re fairly new to this game so we’re thrilled to have you on board! What you see is what you get and we’re just the same off camera! We try and be a little bit informative when we can…. You just have to persevere through all the awful jokes hahaha! Stay tuned for more!
Great vlog guys interesting to see Tampa airport the journey to the car hire is similar to landing at MCO at the new terminal with BA you have to get the train over to the old terminal for car hire. We always book car hire with Alamo and you can check in on line here so you just go straight to the cars when you arrive and do not have to wait at the check in desks but clearly you would have still had to wait as they were short of clean cars.
Thanks so much Rae! The car hire has been an issue a couple of times these last few trips (apart from Melbourne) but they were saying that it’s a shortage of cars too…. As we booked through Tom’s agency, it didn’t recognise the booking ref with Avis Preferred so we had to queue but for the price we paid, it was worth the sacrifice!!
Top notch batman and Robin
Keep em coming
As always a great watch..
I noticed all your past videos are getting more and more views keep it up as more people are starting to find THE BLOKES FROM STOKE
Thank you so much Chris! People are being sucked in to the Multiverse of Madness!!! Let’s hope it’s not got any long term side effects!!!
A triple 7, I've always been large, lol. Really nice breakfast food to start your hols off and they toss them out right left and centre. Love a lounge, oh they suit you haha, power mince walk haha sorry Tom, kids please leave your info on screen a bit longer cos I can't read it that quick, elaborate penthouse please I'm innocent and a vigin to these things. Great vlog I just wish it went on longer. Love you both 💓
Awwwwww John, thanks! You’re always so kind, and full of mischief!!!
@@TheBlokesFromStoke your more qualified then me at mischief Paul;-)
@@johnokeeffe3634 We can’t argue with that!
Just found you guys! Love the vlogs x
Thanks SO much Jamie! We’re delighted to have you on board! Hehe. Plenty to binge watch and welcome to our multiverse of madness!!!
@@TheBlokesFromStoke haha! Can't wait to catch up on them all! x
@@jamiecoombexx The jokes are less painful the further back you start! 😂😂
@@TheBlokesFromStoke 😂😂😂
Hi Gents love your vlogs! Quick question I noticed you connected your own Bluetooth headphones to the entertainment system, were in premium economy next week to Orlando with Virgin and was wondering if this was the case on all virgin airbuses (A350-1000 were on?) Many Thanks
Hi Matt! Thanks so much for coming along! Unfortunately the Bluetooth connection isn’t on all planes. This happened to be on the new NEO planes which have that function… you’ll probably need the good old plug-ins on the a350!
Ahh no worries and just realised the clues in the title 🤦🏻♂️ thanks for coming back to me though. Cheers lads keep up the good work!!
Another great travel day guys. Virgins premier is a so much better than BA. We are tied with BA due to companion vouchers. All up to date with your travels after hours of binge watching. Looking forward to your next upload. Beat regards to you both 😎😎
Awwww thanks so much. Yeah we love the mischievous side of virgin. It suits us so much more hehehehe. Glad to have you on board. Pardon the pun!
Bbw I wish
Lovely vlog as always guys so much fun and happiness. Looking forward to all the following in this series .
Thanks so much folk! Delighted to hear that we’re making you smile! Plenty more to come from this series so stay tuned!
Hi guys love watching your videos, we Fly on the 8th April next Saturday 😮so your vlogs are really getting us in the mood, just a quick question regarding car hire, we went last year and paid to go through tolls travelling from Melbourne airport, have you used the tolls and is it true that you can use express lanes (sun pass) and get billed after or the charges are included in the car hire cost, thanks from an old Birches Head High Schooler 😜
Eyup Duck! Awwww hiya Jason! Great to hear from you. Hope life’s treating you well after Birches!!! (I still have my Manifold tie!) Thanks for tuning in. Yep if you leave your card details with the desk then you’ll usually just get billed for whatever lanes you go through. It’s normally charged a few days after you get back. This wasn’t included in the car hire cost for us from Melbourne! Really appreciate your getting in touch and hope you’ll stick around for more mischief! Spread the word! 😂😂😂
And yes, once you’ve told the hire company that you want to be billed for the tolls you then just drive through the sun pass lanes without stopping.
Fantastic vlog guys,you never fail at making our Saturdays.x
Heheh cheers Tracy. Thank you once again for tuning in to our crazy antics!
I love your vlogs so much, really enjoyed travel day! Tampa looks so much calmer and quieter than MCO (except your rental debacle)! You guys are just the best!! Can't wait to enjoy the rest of this series guys! Lots of love 💕
Awwwwwww thank you so much for coming with us on this trip Zara. Yeah Tampa is definitely different, but the trek from the terminal definitely gets your steps in!!!! See you next weekend!
Love you guys, watched from the beginning and so, glad to see your channel growing. Me and my wife looking forward to our disneymoon in August 23 xx
Thanks so much! Won’t be long before you’re up, up and away! We really do appreciate the support. Same time next week!
Great vlog! Virgin premium looks better than I remember, hopefully we can get a cheap upgrade when we go 😄
Keep an eye out on the app when you go to check in! We had a great flight and crew were superb as usual…!
How did you get everything into the Mustang 😅 Tampa… if you weren’t to rent a car, are there options for public transport to get to Orlando???
You’ll be surprised what we can get in a tight space Sean! Watch out for travel day home for that delight! We’ll find out about onward connections for you!!!
Loved your travel vlog as always full of entertainment from you two.
Tom where were the smoothies 😂😂❤❤xx
Thanks Davina! Yes, those smoothies were definitely absent! Maybe Bombay Sapphire have branched out….. So naughty!
@@TheBlokesFromStoke yet so funny 🤣
Yes!!!!!!!!!!!
Batman and Robin of youtube are back
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Don’t forget it’s Pre-Travel day first Chris!!! This is next weeks! 😂😂😂
@@TheBlokesFromStoke
Oh yeah just noticed.... As per usual I'm a bit premature
@@christ6071 Don’t worry! Pre-Travel day is live! 😂😂
Love your travel days and then this one lands on my birthday 🎉🎉 xx
@@lisacooper2939 Whooooo! Hope you enjoy it!!
Well the new plane looked a bit fancy. Fair old trek to the car hire. I don’t remember it being that long, must have blocked it out of my memory?! Well done for getting the word jumbo in this too!!
😂😂😂 Now come on, with the words Bouncy Sausage included too… what else could you expect! Thanks as ever for joining us Jade xxx
Was that £845 each for the upper class option? Great travel day thanks!
Hi Jo! Yeah it was per person….. it still probably worked out cheaper than having purchased beforehand in all honesty… but we MAY have done this on the way back 😉 Thank you so much for watching!
