It's so great seeing others enjoy what we take for granted. It's no big deal until you see it through someone else's eyes. Thank you!

I’m so glad you guys enjoyed your treats from Starbucks. 😊 Those sugar plum danishes are life changing.

We say just "morning" in the US too. Maybe they just heard your accent 🙂 Celebration is an interesting place. I thought it would feel fake and tacky but it's really nice. It's similar to other suburban towns that copy various housing styles, except planned better. Looks like you all had a great day!

Imagining Lia cycling with her snorkel gear on made me laugh out loud🤣

I moved to the US a long time ago, and it’s great to see you guys call out all the differences and new experiences I’ve totally forgotten/taken for granted.

Love Celebration Florida! That's where I would live, if I could! Glad you are having Legendary fun, and don't worry, you'll survive the Philly "Britzzard of 2022" just fine!

I would have been terrified being that close to the Lake, because gators! Oh my gosh!! Brave Legends!

We went to Celebration for dinner the first week of December and they make it snow every night at 9pm and played Christmas music. The kids danced in the snow falling and it was very magical!

Front yards are for mowing and back yards are for living. No one spends any time in their front yard where I live in the Midwest. Different states have different license plate requirements; for example, in Kansas we have rear plates only, but in Missouri, they have both. Since people in Kansas work in Missouri and vice versa, you see both. Since Florida attracts visitors from many states, you'll see both.

This was such a fun video! I’m so glad you got to have a fun relaxing day together

Love the Wrap around porches

I'm sure you guys know that Celebration WAS used as a prop town, in many films needing a "typical American small town/Midwestern vibe". Very similar to Seaside, Florida in the "Truman Show", because it looks so nicely artificial, and Jim Carrey's character lives in a fake town. It's a GREAT movie, and nice commentary on "reality" shows! Love Celebration! And you're fine just saying "Morning", we do this all over America, he may have said "good morning" just so he didn't sound like he was exactly parroting you. At least where I am, if someone says "good morning", the other person might say "how are you", again, just not to repeat exactly. Just a silly colloquial thing. "Morning!" is a perfectly nice and normal greeting! As is "Evening!"

I always think of HOAs as Stepford towns. "You will conform".

It’s nice that you guys are going for bike rides and actually enjoying your selves.

I loved this video! It would be awesome to live in Celebration. I loved all the houses. Thanks for showing it to us, Joel. And I cracked up when you said the bike rider was an "extra". 😅 Much love from Jean ❤❤

Thank you for the lovely morning! ☀️😊 ❤️

“ Coffee cake vibes.” We’re literally on Holiday! 😅🌟

I live in a master planned community in Texas and love it! The HOA rules are kinda wild but worth it

We say, “morning.” There are no hard and fast rules about greetings. I agree that you are in a beautiful neighbor. In neighborhoods like Celebration, there are fees associated with living there. A portion of the HOA fee is for maintenance that includes a manicured front lawn, and there are rules as to how one can decorate their house. If a hurricane hits Florida, there is usually a significant amount of damage. Before the great influx of northerners, native Floridians built low ranch homes from cinder blocks. These homes are able to withstand high winds. When northerners began building homes, they wanted to build houses like those to which they were accustomed. Stick built homes cannot bear hurricane winds and certainly not two story houses.

I really want to see you two go fishing lol doing all the work yourselves. Catch and release

I get that vibe from Celebration too, likes its all “Disney prop”, kinda like Wandavison, or that Xfiles episode.

Joel said "I reckon"! That made me smile, Joel, you're American now, LOL!

I visited Palm Coast, St. Augustine and Daytona Beach in November. Loved it so much I bought a lot there and am getting ready to build a house. Going to be quite a change from Northern California. There is SO much to do in Florida! I'm very excited to live there. Great place.

It's weird to go from your Live stream in Philly with tons of SNOW.... to now you're in Sunny FL!!!!

This makes me want to go back to Florida

I loved the hilarious car banter in the beginning.You two are just so funny together. I also loved your "lovely, leisurely bike ride". Thanks for providing Florida sunshine as I sit stranded in my house by the "bomb cyclone" blizzard here on the east coast of New Jersey.

Thanks guys for this video, my husband and I are in Florida at the moment, we did this ride today … well it was amazing! We went to Lakeside Hotel for drinks in between the ride, staff couldn’t do enough for you , cocktails amazing , will be back for brunch! WOW what a beautiful town, makes you feel like you’re in some place magical and pure, even if it’s not it sure felt like it! Thankyou “Celebration “ you’re beautiful and we will be back! 🥰🧡

I love watching yall!!!

That was Lovely, and I didn't break a sweat either!!

Registration plates on front.. most states do not require them. They are seen as a waste of money, since the plate really only comes into play when the police are pulling you over, which is always from behind (they don't "overtake" and park in front like in some other countries). Also, in states where plates are only on the back, it is sometimes illegal to back into a parking space, because it conceals the plate. But normally, there really isn't a reason to have one on the front, and on many cars, particularly sharp pointed sports or luxury cars, the front plate is seen as ugly and detracts from the styling. In states where they aren't required, the cars sold don't even have the place to attach it, which looks so much better! But can cause an issue if you move to a state that does require front plates, a friend of mine had to use wire and attach it to her car's grille since there was no other way to attach it! Just another fun, weird thing about America, difference twixt states, I'm glad no front plates, cuts costs by half and looks much better imo! I was disappointed to find that all over England, indeed, most of Europe, the plates don't vary much. You can't tell where anyone is from. In my state, they even indicate the county the person is from, we like to know. If someone is driving badly, you can see they are from a county on the other side of the state, and say "oh, okay, they aren't from here and have no idea where they are going". LOL! They tried to eliminate the county info, but people rebelled so much, we were so used to just needing to know if someone is local or from out of town, that the state had to issue additional sticker to put on the plates! I guess the bad side of that is, some counties have big cities with lots of crime, so if you travel to the next county, and they see you are from "that bad county", people will judge them, and their chances of getting "randomly" pulled over goes up a lot.... in smaller town especially where they are always suspicious of big city people.

Thanks for taking us along with you! I enjoyed the video!

Love,love ,love your channels!

Love these longer videos

Who else is 100% blown away that the US and the UK both share the word, blinds?

Some states require a license plate in front and back, some like here in Pennsylvania, only require it in the back.

So fun seeing you in Celebration. I live right down the street about 7 miles. Wish I had seen you when you were here 💗

Very cool! Welcome to Florida

living in Florida thr best thing for me is our warm weather year round because I enjoy riding my bike. there are bike trails that take you from town to town. some bike trails are as long as 40 miles long.

Fun story. I was living in Orlando for school, right near Universal Studios (where the school is), at a Starbucks when I heard someone call my name. It was a guy I went to college with back in Philly a couple years earlier. I had only met him maybe 2 times. He said he was now living in Celebration.

Lol, the firemen wear the “muffs” because they are headsets for them to be able to speak to each other. 😂❤️

Loved this video 💓

Love that y’all are speaking to a turtle.

The area you're biking in is so lovely! It looks like my old neighborhood in South Orange NJ. Your bike ride is making me so homesick. J & L, I love your content. I've been following you for about 6 1/2 yrs. If fact, I call you may kids when I'm talking about you to my husband and friends , oh, and our other 4 children - ages between 52 and 58. :)

Guys you need to visit Muir woods. You would really enjoy it.

Lia: If you can get them, Nike N7 shoes are made specifically for Native American feet, which are also wider. They go quickly, so you have to be ready for the drop. MUCH more comfortable than normal Nikes.

If you, Joel, like that kind of colonial style wood siding type housing, you would like Savannah, Charleston, and of course New England has tons of houses like that.

Next time in Orlando, you must drive an hour to the coast and see Beautiful St Augustine. You will be impressed. Also that is where the fountain of youth is.

Too bad Joel and Lia weren't in Florida this past week. If they were semi-freaked by gators, can you imagine them seeing iguanas falling from the trees comatose from the cold (The iguanas comatose from the cold, not Joel and Lia. lol)

Good on you, Joel, adapting to driving on U.S. roads - I'd be taking many lives in my hands trying to drive over in the U.K.!😱

Every state has its own license plate design and not every state requires a plate on the front of the car.

What a beautiful video. Lots of good sunshine state vibes. And I loved that you came across some critters. I do miss my Florida alligator sightings--except for when my husband and I got way too close to a gigantic one (we weren't being stupid--the thing literally blended into the landscape).

Pretty sure that was a soft shelled turtle, remembering when I lived in Florida, and tried to catch one, warning they bite,lol. Great vlog J&L, Thank you!

Well done Joel and Lia!

Celebration is “ The Truman Show “ . Enjoy…💜

At 4:42, you just passed my office. Lol

Its been really cool seeing your videos down here in orlando while I was there!!! (and still am there)

Perfect morning! So much to see and do in Orlando.

What a fun day!! Loving all the new content!

Really loved this video, and so happy you got to enjoy a relaxed day filled with sun and nature! ☀️

Not ear muffs that they were wearing that's how they talk to each other in the truck

Nice camera work going through the boardwalk in the trees! Did you ask someone to watch your camera for you to ride past?

It’s like you’re on The Truman Show when you’re in Celebration.

Nice palms! You guys should have gone to the Keys so Lia could go snorkeling. Not sure if you guys went or not. Haha...noexistent town...never heard or been to Celebration. But, it looks nice. Would be nice to visit. Fresh orange juice from Florida is sooooooo good! Always get that when I'm there. I don't like OJ in a carton.

Certain states require both front and back license plates. I live in Michigan, where we only have rear plates.

That looks like such a great day! I'm glad you enjoyed it. It looks like so much fun.

Oh, Cranberry Bliss bars are the best! I tried a recipe knock off of it one Christmas but it wasn't nearly as good!

I don’t know about other states but Oklahoma has no front plates on the front of the cars. It varies from state to state

That was fun taking that bike ride virtually with you two. That danish looked amazingl My family and I are going to Orlando later this month. Can't wait! Watching from frozen Michigan.

This is the kind of day I would enjoy. I love a nice bike ride.

I got pulled over by the CHP in Sacramento for not having a front plate. I was driving my son's car. 😂 It was worth it, the CHP officer was so very handsome, what a smile! 😁

Love living in Florida and y’all are about 30-40 minutes from my hometown. Would love to meet y’all if y’all would ever did decide to come to my town.

The fire truck people were not wearing earmuffs. It's a communication gear. Lol

As far as the car tags go, it depends on the state. Here in Tx, we have a front and rear tag.

Just recently found your videos and I love them! The reason some cars have plates in the front of the cars and some don't is because some states require them in the front and some don't. And only half of the people in Florida, especially Orlando, are actually from Florida. The other half are tourists and people from the north who go to Florida to get away from the cold.

Some states require front and back license plates while others only require them on the back. Once while visiting family in Wisconsin from North Carolina my parents got a ticket for not having a front license plate, so my dad had to go and let them know that NC didn't require it on the front of cars.

The oranges on the car plates is because you were within Orange County, FL…. Osceola County is also included in Disney property ( I forget what is shown in Osceola car plates).

Fun to see you in Orlando. I've never been there but we went to our daughter's house in Naples for a week mid-December and it foo so so clean and lovely but with lots of Palm trees. I love it! I(We live in the Pacific Northwest south of Seattle) but my husband is a Londoner!

🚴‍♂🚴🏘🏡🌴🐢 Looks like a lovely bike ride. In the summertime I'd imagine the heat would be too much for a long ride. Good time to visit.

What a fun and beautiful place that was! Thanks for taking us along! Good to know about for when we go to Disney World some day especially to break up the trip!

In some states they require plates in front. Some don't require them In front.

Wow, sunny and beautiful. looks so fun!

Joel, Water turtles have flipper type web feet, land turtles have feet with claws. Only sea turtles have full flippers.

I don’t know if you are still in Orlando but the best thing to do this time of the year is to see the Manatees in Blue Springs, which is in Orange City FL, NE of Orlando.

Loved this!

I just love Celebration.It’s one of my favorite places.🙂

What a nice and relaxing day, it sounded so peaceful and quiet. I love going on bike rides with my family but we haven’t had much time to do it in a while, I wonder if they have tandem bikes at the rental place. It’s difficult for my brother and I to ride on our own since we can’t see very well, which sucks because then we basically have to depend on other people to be able to take us. It sounded like a lot of fun and a good day for a bike ride. 😎🌟❇️❤️

I live in Winter Park (Orlando area) if you just went to only the parks here you missed out! There are gorgeous natural parks, huge bike and hiking trails, beautiful neighborhoods, y’all need some locals to tell you where are the amazing places to go.

In some states having license plates on the front and back are mandatory but in FL the front license plate is not mandatory.

If no one has told you about the license plates here goes. Each State determines how many license plates are required to be displayed. My current State of North Carolina only issues one plate which must be displayed at the rear of the vehicle. My former State, Virginia issues two plates which need to be mounted in the front and rear of the vehicle.

OMGosh.... Joel drank that expensive OJ very fast!! Lol

Yeah it's weird to see front license plates in Tennessee... Florida doesn't require them either. I don't think any state in the south requires them

I had this in the background. Now watching.

I'm from Ohio, but have traveled through half the US... "Morning" is commonly used here as well. Even on my daily conference calls that have individuals all over the country, most say "morning".

I didn't even know they rode bikes! The more you learn!

That’s a leatherback turtle. We have Bobcats and Armadillos on our bike trail.

I have the same issue as you Joel.. I'm always forgetting to breathe! lol. I blame it on my anxiety. As soon Lia mentioned it in the video I took a deep breath. lol

You guys need to try a bourbon distillery tour ..lol

Since you returned to us on this side of the puddle; you may enjoy looking into an unusual place. In grand rivers kentucky is acplace named patti's 1880 settlenent. It is near the land between the lakes. (The dam that seperates kentucky lake and lake barkley). Patti's has absolutely amazing food. And merangue pues over 10 inches tall. No joke. They have a lively bed and breakfast as well as boutiques. And, if you would be interested in exploring one of our national parks, a couple of hours drive is mammoth cave national park. As it is winter, going underground in a cave of constant temp; not a bad way to spend a winters' day. :)

Celebration is so cool. I love driving through it. Moroccan time is 6 hours ahead of Florida. I wonder if he was "in character"? That turtle might have been a snapper 😬. Do people still have the electric golf cart cars there? That was fun 🙃
