Sue and Noel Radford have re-splash thousands of dollars once more just months after their £50k trip despite admitting they were “feeling the pinch.”
The Radford family have once again found themselves on holiday in Florida after whisking their children away to Walt Disney World following their expensive £50,000 trip in April.
The Morecambe-based family have shared snaps from their trip to Walt Disney Land, before term time begins in September. Mum of 22 Sue said the family’s favourite park is Epcot, as she shared snaps of her large brood in front of the famous sphere.
And while this kind of trip can be once-in-a-lifetime for lots of families, it’s just another sun-soaked holiday for the Radfords who splashed more than £50,000 for Sue’s 50th birthday trip in April. The family were also thought to have returned in the summer half-term after sharing pictures of them drinking slushies and watching the famous fireworks.

The Radfords had previously told The Mirror they were “feeling the pinch” financially, but appear to have spared no expenses for their holiday in April.
Sue and Noel have a successful business called Radford’s Pie Company, and they both appear on Channel 5’s 22 Kids and Counting.
Sue and her husband Noel enjoyed their Easter break from school by taking their own children to Florida in April along with them as well.
Sue, 50, and Noel, 54, are parents to Christopher, 36, Sophie, 31, Chloe, 30, Jack, 28, Daniel, 26, Luke, 24, Millie, 23, Katie, 22, James, 21, Ellie, 20, Aimee, 19, Josh, 18, Max, 16, Tillie, 15, Oscar, 13, Casper, 12, Alfie, stillborn in 2014, Hallie, 10, Phoebe, 9, Archie, 7, Bonnie, 6, and Heidie, 5.
It is believed that just the flights cost an incredible £26, 000, before baggage fees, which are known to add up quickly.
Sue and Noel could have spent £20, 065 on each of their Florida trips this year based on the cost of a seven-day Disney trip, which would require each visitor to hold a 7-Day Magic Ticket for entrance.
While children under three go free in the park, the older children do not. The couple have previously spoken about their approach to holiday accommodation in an interview on This Morning, revealing they opt for villas to save costs on hotels.
Last September, they shared an Orlando Villa Tour on their Facebook page to their 944,000 followers.
They would need to book three more rooms to accommodate all of their children because the accommodations on Vrbo only have 15 available.
This could cost £2, 100 per villa for the week, or £6, 300 per all three, considering that the average nightly rate is £300.
Speaking to The Mirror about “feeling the pinch”, Sue explained: “We actually purposely scaled it right down [Christmas] this year by at least half. We told the kids they wouldn’t be getting as much as past years and they were all absolutely fine with it. They were so understanding. A lot of them only asked for a pair of boots and were happy with that.”
The couple’s memoir Making Life Count was published by Mirror Books last year in hardback.
Even so, they previously stated that they were switching to a more affordable lifestyle because they are experiencing the same level of living stress as everyone else. The rising cost of their £450-a-week food bill has been particularly challenging.
Noel said: “We have noticed the shopping bill especially (going up). We have altered the way we do that. We used to do it online and get it delivered. We don’t do that now. You are better going to Aldi and shopping around.”
