TRAVEL & RESORTS
One traveller who has recently booked for Orlando
with 5 Star Villa Holidays is Manchester based Hayley
McNulty, 28, a sales manager for a cruise travel agency
who commented:
“We’ve booked for Reunion Resort in a 5 bedroom villa,
overlooking the golf course, and it will be for myself
and my boyfriend, and his parents too, for April 2021.
We lived in Florida for a year, and we’ve also stayed in
hotels in the past, but I like villas because they’re more
family oriented and you have your own private pool.
Staying in a villa will also be beneficial with the new
regulations, because you don’t have to wear a mask
in your own environment, and you don’t have people
coming in each day to clean. It’s like your own home,
so you can relax a bit more.”
Hayley booked her Orlando holiday with 5 Star Villa
Holidays in June after receiving a refund from a
different operator for a holiday she was due to take in
April 2020, which was cancelled due to coronavirus.
“My boyfriend and I both work in the travel industry.
We don’t mind wearing a mask on the plane or when
we’re out and about. I think as long as you’re sensible,
just like you would be sensible at home, then there’s
no reason not to go on holiday. Now that flight routes
are becoming available, we might try and go away this
year too.”
“The prices are really good for holidays at the moment.
I feel confident going on holiday with the new
procedures that are being put in place by the travel
industry to ensure the safety of its customers while
travelling to and during their holidays.”
“The restrictions and changes are the reality now,
and the quicker we all try and get back to normal, the
better. The limitation of visitor numbers at theme parks
could actually be a good thing. Our friend who lives in
Orlando said their recent visit to Walt Disney World was
the best time they’ve ever had at a Disney park.”
“We live near the Trafford Centre and visited recently.
We had to queue to get in there, but once we did, it
was so nice and quiet. It’s going to be similar with the
theme parks I’d imagine. I think it’s about preparing
yourself for the changes. Getting a mask that is
comfortable and fits well for example. When we go to
Orlando, we’ll be visiting Disney, Universal to Cocoa
Beach where we used to live, then a 7 day cruise to
finish off.”
