In this episode of our Oktoberfest adventure, we head over to the Forbidden Valley, where we finally catch up with my husband (aka Daddy Of Four) as he tracks down the epic chicken he’s been raving about since our last trip! We then tackle Galactica and the iconic Nemesis while Zara records another entertaining mini vlog.
Next, it’s off to Katanga Canyon for our first ride on the Congo River Rapids, followed by a quick snack stop at Oktoberfest. We venture into the Dark Forest for a thrilling ride on Thirteen, before returning to Oktoberfest for even more snacks and some fantastic live entertainment.
As we make our way back to the Enchanted Village, we reflect on the highs, lows, and some top tips from our day. And finally, you’ll catch my signature sleepy outro, where I’m far too tired to make much sense! Don’t miss it!

Water Bottles
When heading to Alton Towers, or any theme park, don’t forget your reusable water bottles! Save money on drinks ( more to spend on merch) and stay hydrated by filling up at one of the water refill stations around the park, which are highlighted on the maps. Make sure that you choose a leakproof water bottle that keeps water cool and fits into your bags. This 260ml size fits into the children’s small belt bags.
AirTags & Straps For Child Safety On Trips
In the vlogs you will notice my kids wearing AirTags attached to their wrists with fun coloured straps. While AirTags are no substitute for keeping a close eye on your children, they can be a valuable extra way to ensure that you do not lose your children in busy places.
How do AirTags work?
Your AirTag sends out a secure Bluetooth signal that can be detected by nearby devices in the Find My network. These devices send the location of your AirTag to iCloud — then you can go to the Find My app and see it on a map. The whole process is anonymous and encrypted to protect your privacy. And itʼs efficient, so thereʼs no need to worry about battery life or data usage.
Labels
These are the labels that I use to label pretty much anything that has a chance of being misplaced when out of the house. From hoodies, bags and soft toys that can be left behind, everything gets a label. They can be stuck into the care labels of clothes or onto hard surfaces and after 24 hours are machine washable and dishwasher safe.
Pro tip: As well as you family name, put your telephone number on the labels. I have had so much stuff returned to me thanks to my phone number on these stickers! Make sure you replace the “0” with your country code (+44 in the UK) so that items can still be returned to you abroad. It’s also additional peace of mind that if your child is lost, they have your number in their clothing so that a helpful adult can contact you
