Wow that's pretty poor I hope they get some sort of refund and have food with them!

The weather would have been too bad for the GSE, ie a service vehicle that has the food carts on, to be in that close of contact with the aircraft. Their's won't have been the only flight not to go without catering.

I was thinking that the other day - they all go to the same places, do the same things, eat the same things, the Broadways Away Disney vlogs from their trip just before Christmas are arse numbingly dull - and I am over the badly filmed POV of rides. They complained about babies crying, noise levels of a room overlooking a pool - it’s just so dull and any vlogger that is DVC has to tell you at every given opportunity whilst wearing their DVC exclusive Merch like Joey in friends when he buys all the Porsche clothes. They even all eat at the same places and never say anything bad about Disney because God Forbid they look like they aren’t the biggest Disney fans in the world. Cos ‘they’re home’

We have disney booked for later in the year, i’ve genuinely considered cancelling it and only doing universal and seaworld as I think they haven’t made massive changes like disney, and the 50th anniversary seems like a massive let down ? Vlogs don’t seem to have that excitement they used to have for me.. not sure if i’ve watched too many or the magic just isn’t there in them

I think I've said before I'm only interested in visiting Universal now. Also considering Dollywood which looks like a lovely park. The magic appears to have gone from WDW.

I have young kids so WDW is the best/easiest option for us right now, but if they were older/we were child free, I’d definitely be looking away from there. The last time we went to WDW we said we weren’t going to bother returning unless lots had changed, which it has since. Dollywood and a Nashville/Memphis road trip is high on our list! Kind of what L&R did a few years ago but longer.

Did anyone see Hakz appear in the stories with another antivaxxer rant on stories whilst sharing clips from their last trip

I’m the same. Growing up tbh I never knew anyone who had what you’d call a “good job” and school career guidance meant our PE teacher handing us girls a pamphlet about nursing. So, I am always curious about what people do having stumbled through life so far Im still finding out about jobs I never even knew existed! I’d also be interested in a nosy/aspirational way.

On the subject of Avios, in the US it’s much easier to do the air miles thing. There’s dozens of credit cards with sign up bonuses of 100K miles, 5-10 miles per dollar spent, free lounge access, bonuses…and credit cards are easier to get. When I lived there I openened 7 or 8 cards and flew home in business every time. Internally in the country I flew everywhere basically for free. The entire fees for a miles ticket LAX-Hawaii was $6. It’s much harder in the U.K. and totally impossible where I live now (EU country) as credit cards are not common here and there’s not a single incentive on the market. I keep my U.K. cards active but you have to spend to get the meagre benefits and the fees on award tickets are silly. I do some “hacks” like manufactured spending and using my Avios on transatlantic Aer Lingus and internal US flights but it’s a faff and some years I couldn’t be bothered.

I wish we had half the options that the US have for earning miles. Virgin are the "best" miles wise but with taxes and carrier imposed fees even a miles flight you end up shelling out several hundred. Since 2019 I've earned a total of about 100k miles and that is throwing damn near everything through a credit card, and its about enough to have two return economy flights to the US for two people.

Yeah, I did the whole chasing miles for a while but the reality is as a single person I am not spending near the amount needed to gain any traction and then as you say, we are still screwed with taxes and fees out of the UK that it doesn't make the effort worth it!

It is good for people who can hit the spend and make use of companion vouchers, and I appreciate when vloggers tell us that is how they are able to fly upper so often is between using vouchers and buying to keep status. But it is not for everyone, which is the same flying business. It is not for everyone, and I appreciate vloggers who do not try to chase that status.

Ya same I followed the blogs and did manufactured spending but you have to have a lot of spare money to be moving about between cards and the time to research and do it all. It’s not feasible for most people. I’m single and cannot pay my biggest expense - rent on a credit card so I’d never meet the mins organically. When I see people who do make good use of these cards I just think of it as a “perk” - with a lot of strings! of having an expensive lifestyle to fund. Even the likes of Spoonful do things like buy ex EU tickets and fly out on a separate ticket the day before to Amsterdam or Dublin to keep the costs of Club World down versus flying direct. They’ve also gone up to NY to fly home as it was cheaper than a return Club ticket to MCO.
