UNIVERSAL ORLANDO VLOG 1 | Can I Survive My First SOLO TRIP? Travel Day, Virgin Atlantic, Cabana Bay

It’s finally time… I’m going to Universal Orlando SOLO! 🎢🌴 After years of family Disney trips, this time I’m taking on Orlando completely on my own for 10 nights — and this is the very beginning of the adventure! In this first vlog, come with me from Durham to Orlando as I finish a full day at work before making my way to Manchester Airport by train. And, of course, the journey couldn’t go completely smoothly… delays meant I came VERY close to missing my connection! 😅 Thankfully, I eventually made it to Manchester Airport and managed to grab some much-needed food and a cocktail at Little M’s Bar at the Radisson Blu before getting some sleep ahead of the big travel day. Then it’s finally time for Orlando! ✈️🇺🇸 After a good night’s sleep, I head back to Manchester Airport, make the most of Fast Track Security, have a wander around Duty Free and check out the brand-new The Executive Lounge by Escape Lounges — and honestly, what a way to start the holiday! Then it’s time for the main event… Virgin Atlantic Premium Economy from Manchester to Orlando International Airport! 🇺🇸 Once I arrive in Orlando, I make my way to my home for the next 10 nights — Universal’s Cabana Bay Beach Resort. I’ll be giving you a full room tour, grabbing some food and attempting to stay awake long enough to make it to bedtime! And because I know how useful this can be when planning an Orlando holiday, I’m also sharing a FULL COST BREAKDOWN of my solo Universal Orlando trip, including what I spent on the trip overall. So if you're planning a Universal Orlando holiday, thinking about travelling solo, or you just love a good Orlando vlog… welcome to the series! 💙 🎢 IN THIS VLOG: ✈️ Travelling from Durham to Manchester Airport 🚆 TransPennine Express journey 😅 Almost missing my train connection 🍕 Late-night food & cocktails at Little M’s Bar 🏨 Radisson Blu Manchester Airport 🛫 Manchester Airport travel day ⚡ Fast Track Security 🛍️ Duty Free shopping 🥂 The Executive Lounge by Escape Lounges ✈️ Virgin Atlantic Premium Economy 🇺🇸 Orlando International Airport 🏨 Universal’s Cabana Bay Beach Resort 🛏️ Full Cabana Bay room tour 💰 FULL Universal Orlando solo trip cost breakdown 🎢 10 nights of Universal Orlando — completely SOLO!
