Finally Back Home! Orlando Feb 2022

Hi Everyone! I am Just recently back from my 2 weeks trip to Orlando. It was so good to finally be back after everything that's gone on and the trip being postponed twice.

I travelled with BA, originally booked Premium but got complementary upgraded on the outbound to Business so got to experience the new Club Suites!

I stayed at Cabana Bay the first week and then moved over to Coronado Springs for the second week.
This was a trip for my big birthday (COUGH30COUGH) so I hope you enjoy coming along with me!

Thank you so much! I had a fab time and Busch Gardens definitely had the lowest crowds of the whole trip!

I LOVE Cabana Bay! This is... my 3rd stay there I think? I'm a big fan. Really reasonably priced, fun theming & never had any issues with the buses to the parks. Theres always loads of them.

Oh also if you're planning on doing Volcano Bay then staying at Cabana is a big plus

Do you think you will be doing volcano bay?

We have but 20 years ago 😂

My son is now big into coasters so we have a few visits planned there this summer.

Great to hear how much you love Cabana Bay, we’ve got a stay there in the summer too. First time trying that universal hotel.

Are you doing HHn again this year? That will be another first for us in October.

Oh yes, if he is big in to coasters then you definitely have to go!

You will need to let me know what you think of Cabana Bay! Everyone I know who has stayed there loves it

I am HOPING to make a trip out to do HHN in September!
If you need any hints or tips you have to check out Liz's channel. She is a HHN expert haha :P

How fantastic, we were just saying last night we needed a new vlog series to watch. We're staying at Royal Pacific for 3 nights in May then moving to Coronado Springs for 2 weeks so I can't wait to see your travels.
