Inside mum-of-22 Sue Radford’s 50th birthday extravaganza costing £52k – as she’s taking entire family on Disney holiday
BRITAIN’S biggest family, The Radfords, are said to be jetting away to sunny Florida for a bumper Disney holiday this Easter.
With a potential brood of 39 people heading to see Mickey and Minnie, how much will it cost them? We’ve crunched the numbers to work out how many thousands it could cost them.
Leaving the UK for the sunnier destination of Orlando, Florida, the mega ménage is planning an Easter trip to Disney World to celebrate mum Sue Radford‘s 50th birthday, according to an interview with The Daily Mirror.
Sue said: “We’re going to do a big 50th holiday with all the kids and grandkids to Disney. We’ll go in the Easter break.
“The kids love it and the grandkids do too.”
Sue and her husband Noel Radford, 54, will be taking not only their own children, but all of their grandchildren with them too – making the most of the Easter break from school.
The huge holiday is going to kick off a big year of travel for the Radfords, who enjoyed 14 getaways last year alone.
Who is going to Disney?
The couple will presumably be joined by children Chris, 35, Sophie, 31, Chloe, 29, Jack, 27, Daniel, 25, Luke, 24, Millie, 23, Katie, 22, James, 21, Ellie, 19, Aimee, 18, Josh, 17, Max, 16, Tillie, 14, Oscar, 13, Casper, 12, Haillie, nine, Phoebe, eight, Archie, seven, Bonnie, six and Heidi, four.
Also joining them will be Chris’ wife Nicole Spencer, Sophie’s husband Joe Bradley, Chloe’s boyfriend Jake Wallace, Millie’s husband Harley Passmore and Katie’s boyfriend Connor Carter.
On top of that all 11 grandchildren are said to be in tow – meaning there’ll be plenty of holiday packing to be done.
Despite telling The Daily Mirror they have been “feeling the pinch” financially, they plan to spare no expense on this holiday of a lifetime – it’s a good job they have their own pie business and make money from their Channel 5 show, 22 Kids and Counting!
How much will the holiday to Disney cost?
We’ve included the costs of the children’s partners in our calculations and used April 7th as our departure date – the first Monday of the Easter school holiday according to Lancashire County Council’s website.
Flights
The closest airport to the Lancashire homebase of the Radfords is Manchester, who offer direct flights to Orlando.
The closest airport to Disney World is Orlando International Airport (MCO), which is in southeast central Orlando, Florida.
Using Google Flights to work out the average cost of a flight on that day; the top departing flights are with Virgin Atlantic, who have varying fares for infants, children and young adults.
They class babies up to the age of two as infants. Children between the ages of two and eleven pay a child fare, and young adult fares apply to children between the ages of 12 and 16.
To jet off on 7th April from Manchester, an adult ticket costs £768 – the family will need 26 of these.
A young adult ticket costs £768 – they’ll need four of these.
A child ticket costs £576 – they’ll need five of these.
An infant ticket costs £77 – they’ll need four of these.
Flights in total = £26,228
There are extra international surcharges, carbon surcharges and taxes on top of this – but we haven’t included them in our maths.
Eldest son Chris and wife Nicole are parents to Maisie, seven, Jacob, five and Oaklyn, three.
Chloe and Jake share Mila, two, (currently, Chloe is pregnant with their second child).
While Millie and Harley share Chester two, and Elodie, 16 months with Millie’s daughter Ophelia, four, from a previous relationship.
Katie and Connor are parents to baby Ronnie, three months old.
All in, the family are looking at a jaw-dropping £26,228 on flights – and that’s before the excess charges or any extra baggage.
Disney World Tickets
We’re calculating the cost of a seven-day Disney visit, which would require each guest to hold a 7-Day Magic Ticket for entrance.
The tickets include access to the park and water parks with the eligibility to enter multiple parks per day.
Holders will also have the ‘memory maker’ package which includes unlimited Disney photopass downloads – pictures taken by photographers around the park, on rides and in restaurants.
On top of that, they can use them for mini-golf, ESPN Wide World of Sports and more.
Luckily for Sue and Noel, children under the age of three go free. So four of the children on the trip won’t cost a penny to get into the park.
That leaves 10 child tickets (age three-10) at £559 each.
And 25 tickets for ages 10+ at £579 a pop.
Disney World Tickets total = £20,065
Accommodation
Sue and Noel have spoken about their approach to holiday accommodation previously, while appearing on the This Morning show – they revealed they usually opt for a villa to save costs and ensure the bunch can bunk close together.
Last September, they shared an Orlando Villa Tour on their Facebook page to their 944,000 followers.
Their glam villa had it’s own pool, with Sue captioning the clip: “The kids love it!”
The villa was perfect for their Disney trip – with a Frozen themed room and pirate ship themed room for the kids.
There was also a games room, complete with arcade-style gaming machines to entertain the children after a long day at the parks.
One eagle-eyed viewer recognised the accommodation as similar to a property listed on rental site, Vrbo.
The glam Vrbo house sleeps 15 – so Sue and Noel will need to book 3 to comfortably house all 39 travellers.
The accommodation costs £300 per night, working out at £2,100 per villa for a week.
Accommodation total = £6,300
How much would it cost The Radfords to go to Disney?
Flights = £26,228
Disney World Tickets = £20,065
Accommodation = £6,300
GRAND TOTAL = £52,593
And that’s without food, merchandise and extras!
This won’t be the only holiday to celebrate Sue turning 50 – in the same interview with The Daily Mirror, she said her and Noel will jet off for a romantic holiday for two.
“But we are going to do a holiday just the two of us as well. That will be nice,” she revealed.
Longest living cars which DON’T fall in value – from iconic Fiat to Range Rover… do YOU own a golden oldie?
HERE are the longest living cars which don’t drop in value – from an iconic Fiat to a Range Rover.
From 18 to a staggering 30 years – these cars were in production for a mammoth time period.
Land Rover 90/110/Defender (1983-2016)
The first Land Rover was built in 1948, with a four-wheel drive system that made it ideal for off-road.
It’s understood that production ended in early 2016 because of new regulations that would have forced Land Rover to make expensive changes to its design,
The new Gerry McGovern-designed Defender is expected to be on sale in showrooms in the next few months.
Range Rover (1970-1996)
The Range Rover was aimed at buyers seeking a leisure vehicle that could also drive across different terrains.
It launched during an SUV frenzy which allegedly explains why it stuck around for so long.
During the 1980s, and it became a common sight at ski resorts in America after making following its 1987 launch at a Los Angeles Auto Show.
Peugeot 206 (1998-present)
The 206 model was introduced in 1998, arriving as a hatchback with two or four doors, a station wagon, a convertible, and in some areas a saloon.
Some 10 million cars were sold with the most popular markets being Europe and Latin America.
The Peugot 206 was around for 27 years – but is still being produced in Iran today.
Volkswagen Santana (1981-2012)
This model was around for a staggering 31 years, being one of the first European cars manufactured in China.
The Santana prompted a new interest for saloons in the Chinese market, according to Autocar.
Its numerous variants were commonly used in the public services, serving as cars, taxis, police cars and even government cars.
Mini (1959-2000)
The Mini was designed by Alec Issigonis and developed in just 27 months.
With over 5million units built, it’s believed to have influenced the next generations of city cars and supercars with its innovative four-cylinder engine.
These include the likes of the Lamborghini, which drew influence from the car’s design when its 4 litre engine wouldn’t fit behind the passenger compartment.
Fiat Uno (1980-2013)
The Fiat Uno was around for a mega 33 years, with the last model in Europe sold in 1995.
In Brazil, where it was called Mille, production ended in 2013 when the government introduced a new law requiring cars to be fit with front airbags and ABS brakes.
It’s latest model was a limited edition called Grazie Mille.
Suzuki Jimny (1998-2018)
This small four wheel drive first appeared in 1970.
The first generation lasted 11 years, but the third generation stuck around for a whopping 20 years.
It has an ultra-low range gearbox and weighs only around 1000kg, which made it a very attractive model for many.
Fiat Panda (1980-2003)
This car’s design was influenced by the Citroën 2CV and the Renault 4 – with 4.5 million models built in Turin, Italy.
Fiat reportedly asked its development team to come up with a simple and robust car. Early models came with an air-cooled two-cylinder engine from the 126.
It stuck around for 14 years before production stopped. The original Panda however can still be caught driven around parts of France and Italy.
Peugot 205 (1983-1998)
The 205 came to market in 1983 as a four-door hatchback and became one of the brand’s best-sellers.
Later came the addition of a two-door hatchback, a convertible, a small van and, the popular GTi.
The 205’s price point became its biggest selling point. It was in production for 15 years, with the last day in 1998.
You can nab a second hand Gti for about £7,000 today.
Mercedes-Benz SL (R107, 1971-1989)
The SL was one of the more popular Mercedes cars for nearly two decades.
It remains the only SL ever to include a four-seat coupé with a fixed roof.
The body style (named SLC) ceased in 1981. Second hand models are now on the market for over a whopping £100,000.
Jeep Wagoneer/Grand Wagoneer (1963-1991)
This model was around for a staggering 28 years. The luxury car was big enough for an entire family, with ground clearance for users to enjoy its four-wheel drive system.
The Wagoneer – later called Grand Wagoneer – gradually became more upmarket, with Jeep removing noise and vibrations inside the cabin to make it more luxurious.
Production ended in 1991 when Jeep replaced the Grand Wagoneer with the first Grand Cherokee.
Volkswagen Jetta (mk2, 1984-2013)
The Jetta was around for a whopping 29 years. The second-generation model was first produced in China in 1991.
Early models were built from complete knock-down kits, which were replaced with locally-sourced parts in 1995.
It’s still commonly used as a taxi in some parts of China, including Beijing.
Toyota Century (mk1, 1967-1997)
Toyota Century was around for 30 years after it was first introduced in 1967.
The original was mostly built by hand for some of Japan’s more wealthy clients.
It was considered a high-tech old school saloon having been fit with automatic air conditioning in 1971.
