Britain’s ‘biggest family’ with 22 children enjoys their seventh holiday to US in two years – as they jet off to Disney World in Florida and are ‘gifted’ day out at Universal Orlando Resort

Must read

The Radfords have jetted off on their seventh holiday in two years as some of the family travelled to the Disney World resort in Florida last week.

The brood, from Morecambe, Lancashire, boasts more than 530,000 followers on Instagram and are the stars of the Channel 5 show, 22 Kids and Counting. 

While many parents will be taking their families on holidays abroad during the summer break, few can say they’ve been given a big chunk of the experience – seemingly – for free.  

Sue and Noel Radford, parents of 22, shared snaps from the trip, including a gifted day at the Universal Orlando theme park. 

The Radfords started their trip by staying in a hotel close to the airport before their nine-hour flight to Florida.

They stayed at a hotel near the airport before getting up at around 6.30am and eating breakfast before taking a shuttle bus there. 

Sue and Noel entered World Duty Free after going through security, where their children seemingly had fun spraying different perfume samples. 

Hallie, seven, and Bonnie, three, decided to get their faces painted with sparkly sequins as their father joked that they were in ‘holiday mode’.

‘Britain’s biggest family’ shared snaps from the trip, which included some of the children eating ice creams at the resort, playing with the water features, looking around the Harry Potter themed area and posing with Hello Kitty statues.

Noel took some of their children on a water-based ride while Sue and their other kids watched on from afar, wetting them with water guns.

She wrote: ‘We had such a brilliant day @universalorlando last week we absolutely love this place so much, we even got on Hagrid which is hands down the best ride ever.’

The family is known for taking multiple holidays a year and are a big fan of travelling to the Sunshine State – as they have done many times in the past.

This marks their seventh holiday to the US alone in just two years – along with travelling around the UK and Europe in their £40,000 motorhome that was purchased in 2022.

The Radfords have also jetted off to exotic locations such as the Maldives and Dubai.

The clan also visited the Orlando resort in April this year, August and April 2023, as well as August and April 2022. 

The brood experienced hot weather in Florida and travelled around the park when it was around 32-degrees. 

But Sue and Noel experienced backlash by showing off their holiday as other parents said they could not afford to take their children away on lavish trips.

One wrote: ‘How do they afford it? I’ve got a frigging child and the thought of going there is a dream.’

Another penned: ‘I wish I could afford to do that for my son,’ followed by the crying emoji. 

A third said: ‘Paid for by everyone but them!!’

A fourth commented: ‘Wow you must be millionaires for so many of you to go. Glad you had a nice time though.’  

Sue and Noel recently hit out at those who judged their jet-setting lifestyle in their book, The Radfords: Making Life Count.

Sue wrote: ‘We don’t claim benefits, the pie company is very successful and so is our media business,.

‘We work hard but we’re not millionaires. The nastiness is upsetting though. We just want to be able to give our children the best possible life.’
