Its here!! Our brand new Florida Trip Announcement from our latest trip in February and March 2026.
It was intended as a more of a budget trip (not that is was really in the end) and mainly to go back and do Epic Universe, except Stardust Racers was in maintenance. We had 1 day tickets through the Universal Annual Pass portal and we phoned to move the date when we were out there which we did to our last day (mad dash from the MSC ship to Epic) but they extended the maintenance window for Stardust Racers so we still didn't get to ride it
We fly with Aer Lingus for the first time and fly from Manchester to MCO T3, T3 is also a first for us.
We stay at Rosen Inn International Drive, visit Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure and for the first time Epic Universe!
Its also my 40th birthday (Chris) and Kelly surprises me with a 1 night stay at Disney's All Star Movies, a lunch reservation at Steakhouse 71 and to top it all off a Bay Lake/Seven Seas Lagoon Fireworks Cruise from the Contemporary to watch Happily Ever After Fireworks!!!
We also set sail on a 3 night mini cruise aboad MSC Seashore, a first for us to test cruising. We visit the Bahamas and Ocean Cay, amazing swimming in the crystal clear ocean. We also lost our beach ball out to sea
Action packed as usual, and unfortunately, a visit to ER thrown in for good measure!
I've included the trailer rather than the trip announcement video as the trailer contains more clips of what we do rather than me droning on lol
