Wedding Anniversary weekend away

Alton Towers Staycation 2020 Hello! We hope everyone is well and coping with all the new normal? We can’t believe we’ve been married for 2 years! Madness how fast time flies. It seems like 5 minutes since we were driving to the Court House in Orlando all giddy with excitement. We had such a brilliant […]

Where to stay in Orlando..

Where to stay in Orlando…. Well hello there – hope you’ve all had a good week. Since we re-booked our hotel for next year’s trip last week we got to thinking about all the fabulous places we have stayed and which ones we liked best. We have tried a fair few options, locations – hotels, […]

Seen it…booked it….

Well it’s been a full on weekend in the Oh! Orlando household, birthday celebrations for Tracey on Thursday, lots of work at both of our jobs (me at JLR and Tracey with her Holistic and Sports Massage Therapy) and trying to find time for sorting social media etc! Birthday celebrations – some nice food, a […]

Form an orderly queue…

Well we hope everyone is well and getting used to the current situation….. still a bit bonkers isn’t it? Over in the parks we’ve been taken aback at some of the current queue times that are being posted. For example we’ve seen Hagrid’s with a 30 minute wait?? What the fudge?? In the past we’ve […]

Enough of our staycation – Back to Orlando news

It seems that the surge of Covid cases in Florida and Orlando is levelling out which is good news, and it’s also been reported in the news in the last few weeks that as far as officials can tell there have been no Covid related cases linked to any of the theme parks or resorts. […]

It’s the same but different.

Last weekend saw us head off on the second leg of our staycation in lieu of our planned Orlando visit. Of course we’re grateful to be able to go anywhere right now and we had a lovely time. It’s still a little disappointing now and again that we weren’t in Orlando, but as I write […]

It’s unfair to compare….. or is it?

Our two week vacation, when we should have been in Florida, is at it’s half-way point. We’ve had a great time so far – started off in Northamptonshire with son and daughter-in-law to be Ash and Tiff, and Chip the dog, from there we got a few little “jobs” done – cat to the vets […]

Shoulda, woulda, coulda…

In the pre-covid world this weekend should have seen us flying into Orlando with Virgin Atlantic, and off to the Holiday Inn at Disney Springs and a fantastic fortnight of Walt DIsney World Magic, Universal excitement, I-Drive and Icon Park fun and shenanigans, shopping, eating, drinking and a bit of seeing the real Florida on […]

Slow opening…Disney magic sneaks back.

So, the parks are all opening up as we speak – so far, so good. We’ve been glued to YouTube the last 2 weeks watching EVERYTHING…and it’s looking good! In the main it looks like folks are behaving and using the social distancing measures put in place. The parks are nowhere near normal operating levels […]

Coasting along….

Here at Oh Orlando towers we love a good coaster. We really do. What a way to start a day off than been flung around at daft speeds and upside down? Orlando is the home of the ‘coaster in our opinion. You have 4 major parks in pretty close proximity to each other. WDW, Universal, […]
