If you plan to stay every 2 years vs every year, can you always bank those points and therefore buy half the points?
I never thought dupbags were bad, this D U P B A G Y gave me great feedback, quality and after sales are great
You and Rachel are amazing travelers, do your homework and fearlessly visit any location. I’m envious of your entire family dynamic and would like your parents to adopt me. It would be awkward as I’m older than them. Perhaps your California cousin? ❤🙋♀️
Disney Springs so quiet and mellow is dreamy!
Fast and Furious is just Kong with cars instead of dinosaurs! 🤣 (Preshow is best part)
Hey Karen! What dates were you in the States? It seems like you always pick really good days to visit the parks! Especially this day at Universal! I need to rethink my park visit dates for 2025 🤣
It was last week in April and first week in May! We did like this time of year ☺️ September is my our other usual time to visit! When were you thinking?
@@KarenBeeI have an annual pass and live just an hour and a half plane ride away, so I come every 3-4 months for just a (literal) couple of days at a time. I’ll be back early September for the Food & Wine festival and will be staying at Boardwalk for the first time!
The room is very nice (at the end of the vlog), I love nice wood and the style was lovely.❤
We loved the room! Felt very fresh!
Did you get to try the Butter Bear Ice Lolly? 💕
No! I need to try this!
Ooooooo! The Drama! I soooo feel for you, I can well imagine the Stress level that would have created. You soo needed the yum ice cream after that. Great hotel booking for rides.💕🌟
So happy I got the camera back! The ice cream was amazing!
Luck & Rich are with you 💕👍🫶🏻!!! I love the 4 of you together.💕
Aw thanks!
Great vlog you were lucky to get your camera back ❤
I was at the outlets near Universal and we were sitting on a bench. A rather large woman sat right next to me. We stood up and walked about 6 shops down when I realized I didn’t have my camera. I turned and walked quickly back towards the bench, the lady stood up and there was my camera. Her top had covered it. Just in time I got it back. I find I’m used to carrying a certain amount of things so when I carry more I have a good chance of forgetting something.
I’m enjoying this series so much Karen and Rachel! Great few days at Universal despite the drama! 😆😌 So great to see Luke and Rich too 🥰💕 That hotel room looks amazing!💕 Looking forward to the next one!
Thanks for a great vlog. We’re off to universal tomorrow so this reminded us how great it is. We’re also staying at Royal Pacific again x
I’m finding this series so interesting to watch. Going on my first ever Orlando holiday staying at Pop Century and doing a night at Royal Pacific April 25-May 11. So pretty much the same time of your series
Good morning, Karen & Happy Sunday to you! I love Universal Studios Florida, which is so beautiful with so many great things to do! I enjoyed this vlog & have a wonderful day!
Good morning Karen how are you happy Sunday morning to you and I enjoy your channel and you are amazing supporter
This is my dream ....also to sail on Disney Magic. Wish i could pack my bags tomorrow. But HMRC says i owe them money so back to work 😅😅. Amazing video love camera clarity and perfect sound.
What a BEAUTIFUL view from your cottage!!! 🤩
Hey Karen 🤗 I am going at the end of Aug and I am really nervous about dealing with the heat. I have got an umbrella and my fan but it still makes me nervous about coping in the heat 🥵🙈 I defo agree, it’s not worth powering through because you do start to feel awful. I’ve only tried those cheeseburger pods once and I wasn’t a fan, the meat inside wasn’t a nice consistency for me. I’ve heard the bowls they do are nice but not tried them yet. I’m looking forward to your next vlog 🩷 xxx
Hey! Definitely umbrella really helps and a fan too and just taking breaks! Definitely going to try the bowls next time… thanks lovely xx
As you went along while I watched, I would say, look she’s at mile XX, she’s doing great! Love adding your family’s texts to the video. Congrats!
Aw thank you! Glad you enjoyed following along! The texts were such a big part of the race for me, kept me going!
Wow! What a day. 👏🏻👏🏻 We always stack genie+ and have about 5 rides lined up for the afternoon. Gutted that we can’t do this with the new system. I can’t believe you didn’t book something at 1 o’clock though! We’d always book it and then keep amending it and pushing it back throughout the day. That way as soon as 3 o’clock comes around, we can book the next one.
Oh my gosh of course!! I didn’t even think of that! Well it didn’t end up mattering in the end because we bailed on MK and went to bed lol
@@KarenBee I’m not surprised! It looked like such an awesome day! Steakhouse 71 was on my ‘to do list’ last time we went and it was delicious! Are you heading back for the Food & Wine Festival?
I tried the cheeseburger pods for the first time last year and they were just ok. I agree it needs a special sauce lol . I have to leave AK by midday because it’s just soo HOT!
A sauce would be perfect! Ye we end up doing the same just wish it was open later then in the evening to come back
How is ohanas for steak? Would that be a replacement for steak 71? It looks hot maybe 90 or 100. Great video trip.excellent editing. thanks.
The steak is nice, I would rather Ohana overall… thanks so much!
Why am I only now finding your channel. Instant subscriber, I haven’t laughed that hard in a while. Can’t wait to watch the rest of the trip. ❤
Aw thank you so much and glad you enjoyed!
Love Mitsukoski! The shop in the back of China is super fun too, they’ve added a lot more snacks & drinks over the years. I find on hot days in Epcot I have to walk through every pavilion so I’m bouncing into AC non stop. Also idk if you’ve ever tried it but Liquid IV is a life saver in the heat for me, I find it really helps keep my hydration up. It’s loaded with electrolytes. My Dr. actually suggested it to me & it was a game changer for park days! Also it sounds crazy but if you’re like hot-hot pop into one of the newer bathrooms! The AC has been blasting in them. I like to take a break at Nemo, the aquarium is usually quite cool as well. 😊 I have dysautonomia so I’ve gotta be extra careful in the heat because I’ll hit the ground hahah
Disney needs to begin to think more about cooling the people in the parks. With the changes in the weather - how hot can it get? - more shad and more air conditioning needs to be planned and added to the all the parks
Lovely vlog, and what a good lesson to learn about not pushing yourself in the heat. Surprised not to see those cooling mist machines dotted around the parks, at least in summer. Japan 🇯🇵 would be an interesting trip, and you should ask Luke & Rich if they would join you. I love using chopsticks 🥢.💕🌟
Ye we could see that there were a lot of people struggling with it! Especially indoors where people had come to try cool off but it was just still too warm. Aw I would love that, I'm hoping we get to!
I do love the safari rides and any animal sections, so I think Animal Kingdom would be my favourite area. Also “Living on the land”, anything to do with nature and different cultures (Hippos are my favourite too).🦛🐾☘️🍂
Aw my gosh another Hippo lover! They are so interesting to me! I also love rides like that...
Seeing you speed walk at the opening of your vlog, reminds me of when you did the Disney New Year Marathon run.
Haha right?! Luckily this one wasn't too bad - Universal morning speed walk to Hagrid's is the bigger test haha
Another UA-camr channel stated two of the big rooms people went into to get a break from the heat at EPCOT were now hot. Another taking away from their customers. Also 2 of the new small shows are out in the heat as well as no place to sit except on hot grass or concrete. EPCOT was my favorite Disney park. I saw it coming when it took forever to bring back the trams. I so miss the old Disney, people aren’t going anymore. They also said they use the money from the USA parks to build the Asian parks. Beijing opened 2 years ago, watched Ordinary Adventures videos (really good). I really want to go to the Japan parks and stay in the Disney hotels cuz you’re guaranteed entry and they are half the price or less then here in USA. I will still watch your videos wherever you vlog, I really enjoy them all.
Ye it's such a shame as I we really struggle when we can't take a break and cool down for a bit and it actually means we spend less time / money in the parks so also doesn't seem like the best business decision. Really want to head out to Japan again! Aw thank you, that's so kind and I'm glad you enjoy watching!
Can’t say I like the Dinosaur ride at all, not much theming and too dark. The first 3 times I rode it I had cataracts so it was just 3 things to see on it, after surgery it was better but no comparison to Indiana Jones. I have only heard rumors it will be changing to Indiana Jones and if it does the lines will definitely be longer. So nice to see more videos from you (even like the ones from England and Ireland).
Aw I do love it! I think the theming in the whole land could definitely be better... Aw I'm glad you're enjoying them!
Good morning! Question, is Rachel's backpack a Lily Pulitzer ?
Yes it is!
@@RachellBee thank you so much sweetie!! Off to buy one! ( I have the turquoise one and absolutely love it! )
We've loved using it!
Hi Karen and Rachel I love Florida yes it can get hot but when the rain comes every afternoon it is so refreshing ! I love how tropical it is but it does get very hot you have to drink lots of water 💦 Animal kingdom was one of my favourites as well as Hollywood studios and Magic Kingdom Epcot wasn’t my cup of tea but this was many years ago when there was only 2 rides at that park…Have a great week ❤
We didn't have much rain on this trip! I do LOVE the tropical weather too, a good rain shower or storm is always nice in the afternoon I love to watch back at the hotel. We are pretty good with water we ALWAYS carry a large water bottle and we take electrolytes as well. We also used to not be big fans of Epcot but I LOVE the festivals and trying all the foods. Thanks hope you have a good week too x
I don't know if you ever found out, but the green mochi is melon flavored. I think mango and lychee is a top tier combo of flavors (like at boba, I often get mango with lychee jelly or vice versa).
Ahhh melon makes sense! I got the apple one a different day but mango and lychee are definitely my favourite 😊
Ah good to know! lychee is my absolute fave - we were trying to figure out of we could buy them anywhere else!
How did you get the Guardians VQ if your park reservation was for Animal Kingdom that day? 😮 Also, I’ve never been able to choose later return times for genie + times when picking my rides. It’s always whatever the current callback time is and I can then maybe modify it if it changes but I can’t see an option to pick like a 4PM return time if the current return time is showing 1PM. Am I doing something wrong? 😅
So this was a bonus date on the calendar for AP park reservations where we didn't need to book a reservation so it allowed us to go to AK first while also being able to join the VQ at 7am for Guardians in Epcot! I didn't really think about it at the time but I guess this is the only way with a ticket that still requires park reservations (like AP) to get a VQ for a park other than the one you intend to visit first! Oh yes that's how genie + worked for me too I was saying I wish it was possible to scroll times like you can when you book the individual lightning lanes (for Tron, Guardian's etc)
Good morning! I love early mornings in the parks, but there is something about Animal Kingdom that just hits different! Such a beautiful park! A great place for breakfast in Epcot is Les Halles, the ham and cheese croissant warmed up, cup of coffee, heading into the little tables that are in front of the France pavilion… amazing!! it’s so peaceful because everybody’s trying to get on Remi, world showcase isn’t open yet and it’s just beautiful on a sunny morning!
It is such a stunning park, the most immersive overall park I think! I was literally thinking of that when I was editing I forgot about Les Halles and have been meaning to try it for breakfast, it's sounds lovely and I love morning people watching!
Good morning Karen how are you happy Sunday morning and happy Weekend to you and I enjoy your channel and you are amazing supporter
Aw thank you and hope you had a lovely weekend!
@KarenBee your welcome sending love to you ❤️ happy Tuesday morning and enjoy your weekend
Happy Sunday Karen how are you? The animal kingdom looked very nice even that ride, too! Hope you have a wonderful week ahead!
I'm good thanks, hope you enjoyed your weekend!
Thank you gor all your detail. I think it's worth mentioning that once you buy, you can sell later, recouping some of the cost per poing at the end. Im considering buying at Boardwalk because there are only 18 years left, and comparing that to buying at Poly & selling after 18 years (im 60, so 18 years seems like all the use I'd need). Its not our of the realm of possibilities that i could sell the contract at the same $250/point I purchased at, given that Disney's price per point will likely be well over that amount.
Brilliantly done! This is the best comparison video I have seen. THANK YOU for all the time you put into it and, more importantly, for "dumbing it down" so I could understand! I bought my first DVC contract in March 2019. I have since purchased a few more via DVC Resale Market. I use Monera Financial to buy it initially, and then, once the contract is in hand, I try to pay it off. They have never penalized me for doing that, so it's a great way to snatch up a really great low-ball contract and then figure out how to pay for it later :) We own at Beach Club and Aulani. We sold our Grand Californian and are now buying Old Key West. Each contract is 100 pts. I love DVC, and my only regret is not buying sooner.
Aw thank you! I also used Monera for financing and loved that I could pay it down without penalty. That's essentially why I did it too, the contract was going for such a great price! Ooooh I LOVE OLD KEY WEST! We were originally supposed to own there and love staying there!
Hi Karen and rachel.
Hey! Thanks so much for watching!
A good cup is hard to say, NO to
Right???! I just love a new cup haha
I love Hippos 🦛 too, so much!
Aw they are the best!
Congrats🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank you so much! Currently training for next year!
I didn’t like the pretzel. I was really looking forward to it. Now I’m wondering if getting it earlier in the day would have been better.
Oh no way! I actually wasn't expecting to as pretzels aren't normally my fave snack but ours was so good - it did seem like ours was fresh so maybe that was it? I guess they could end up laying out for a while at times.
I forget that Natasha lives here now. I miss her vlogs and I miss the live chats you all use to do together!! ❤️ You and your sister always look like your are having loads of fun.
Aw I do too! I love that I can go visit her though! Haha we absolutely love our trips, always such a fun time! Hope you and your family are doing well?
@@KarenBee taking it day by day.
Hi Karen, Tell Rachel to get that hat it looks great on her 👌Great vlog btw, you showed a lot off our fav places, nice seeing familiar faces at your Ohana Dinner. Keep them vlogs comin. 🙂🎥
She's been reading the comments lol I've told her she has to buy it next time! Thanks Mark!
Hi Karen you mentioned that you just added Natasha to your room. My son is joining us for a few days at pop century in September and I would like to add him to our room did you just go to reception. Was there a charge.
So I had a DVC booking and so there is no charge for us to add guests but as I understand it there is a charge on a regular booking and it's a charge per night - might be worth giving them a call in advance?
I didn't mind the sofa bed, but the chair bed is very comfortable. A friend of mine prefers it! LOL
Oh no way, ours have always been awful like springs in the back awful lol
@@KarenBee I had that springs in your back feeling at SSR but that was before the renovation.
