Thanks Anne. Yes, Pre Clearance was great.

Me as an American: “Why did you get there 3 hours before?!?! For a domestic flight I typically get there within 45 minutes to 1 hour”

@HackettFamily

Because it’s international flights, meaning more security and clearance to do.

Love the Vlog!! Also I’m glad you had an easy and safe travel over to America! :) that’s a longgggg flight! Do you guys ever plan on going to SeaWorld, Busch Gardens Tampa, or that Mermaid Exhibit at Weeki Wachee springs on your next adventure to Florida?

@HackettFamily

4 ай бұрын

Thank you. It was a long day, but super worth it. We have been discussing doing Discovery Cove and the Sea World and Busch Gardens package, but we think we may wait until Sienna is old enough to swim with the dolphins and ride all the rides. If we went now, we think it may be a little unfair to her for all the waiting around she would have to do. Not seen the Mermaid Exhibit.

Hi, do you have any recommendations for a pre-paid travel card for the US ? Also where do you buy your universal tickets in the UK or US. Thanks

@HackettFamily

I’m afraid not, we use our credit card, to get points, then pay it off that month. We buy our park tickets direct via our Travel Agency Hackett Family Travels. We’re contactable via Instagram and can help others.

Tatyo are the best.

How come you don’t get a car ? I think you need one in Orlando it’s a must have I think

@HackettFamily

4 ай бұрын

Depends what our plans are. Car hire is expensive in Orlando and Universal charge to park the car at the resort. One of the benefits of staying onsite is you don’t need a car and we just Uber when we need to go offsite. Other trips we have had car hire because we have done more offsite. Always depends on our plans.

@@user-ro2pe9vn3z you’ll see in the series we still do a bit of that (trips to Outlets, Celebration, Orlando Magic, Disney Springs) and I think in total spent approx $300 over the week on Ubers (including back and forth to the airport). A car would have been approx £450 for 5 of us plus luggage, parking of $17 a day plus gas and tolls. Uber is great and much less stressful. There are times we do hire a car. Just not for this trip.
