Great to see Cafe Tu Tu Tango is still there on International Dr, went for a meal there back in the 90’s. Anyone remember King Henry’s Feast and Caruso’s Palace on the Drive back in the day ?

@TheLodgeGuys 2 года назад

Tu Tu Tango, was it a good place to eat ?

@bobgeorge8326 2 года назад

@@TheLodgeGuys From what we remember it was quite good. It was like Mediterranean tapas menu and the decor inside being quite Latino with lots of pics on the walls !!

The Free Fall has been taken down since a teenager fell to his death. The safety of these attractions is rarely what it should be. The Free Fall company was held liable for the young man's death due to negligence of safety standards . This entire area of Icon Park has been affected negatively and several shops have closed.

@TheLodgeGuys Год назад

Yes. Glad it's been taken down now

Your friendly reminder from a former u.s waitress: if you share plates don’t be surprised if there’s a sharing charge (still worth the $5) / Tip a little extra since your bill would be less 😊 love seeing your adventures💖

Thankyou both of you for so many memories. My last visit was 2005 but I am now divorced and planning my first solo trip in January 2023. Loved the reference to the Mercado, many will not remember what a great nightly entertainment place it was. Just thanks and I can't wait to get out there again next year

@TheLodgeGuys 2 года назад

Thanks Helen. Hope your solo trip planning comes along well. Its a nice place for solo trips we think as everyone is so friendly, always someone to have a chat to

Thank you so much for this... I will be there in 13 weeks.... My last time there I was at Icon park and I'm w/ Leigh - my feet are firmly planted on the ground but love you all that have the adventurous spirit to go on those rides... have fun and be well !!!

@simonbarratt5495 2 года назад

If your looking for somewhere different and not far, can I recommend tubing at Kelly Park/Rock Springs, make sure you rent a tube before you enter the park from the vendors near the entrance and try to avoid weekends, it's the best natural lazy river in Florida (no Gaiters! lol)

@TheLodgeGuys 2 года назад

Thanks for the tips!

@vickimccollum2537 2 года назад

Are you seeing Jo Jo Crichton while you are there? He rode that "falling from the sky ride with you a few trips ago."

@mattb7877 2 года назад

I think the scooters auto slow down when you are in a more pedestrian area. You will be made aware when you have gone out of the boundaries it will come to a full stop and sometimes speak to you. The app or the website for the scooters will shown you the boundaries. So you may be able to explore further next time

@TheLodgeGuys 2 года назад

Yeah that makes sense that they slowed down where we were. They were great fun

@travisr5694 2 года назад

Maggiano’s is amazing food. If you go with another couple (4 or more people) then you can do the family style dining (all you can eat potions). The portion sizes are huge and it’s some of the best Italian food I’ve ever had.

@TheLodgeGuys 2 года назад

Sounds good. Love a good italian. Thanks for the tip

@kameshnigovender8807 2 года назад

Great to see I drive and different eating options. Have you guys tried any of theses restaurants? First Watch (for breakfast), Aashirwad Indian Food and Bar, Manny's Chop House, The Stubborn Mule, The Hampton Social. Been looking up places to try when I go to Disneyworld, hopefully in August this year after putting it off for 2 years. So done tons of research😂😂

@flyingwithllamas Год назад

OK.....I keep seeing this mentioned so a bit of info. Don't bother with the western boot shop that is buy one get 2 free. They are ridiculously over priced and most are Mexican made and don't last. Boot Barn do good USA makes Ariat, Tony Lama, Justin, Twisted X to name a few all built to last. My big recommendation for Western Boots is Elys on the US 27 near Haines City, for practical boots Tractor Supply or Rural King. Elys also do a really good range of western clothing. This coming from a western horse rider who owns a US bred appaloosa horse.....so I need boots that look great but last......you're welcome 😊🐎

@michaelobrien1740 2 года назад

Great vlog. Love the new stuff on Int Drive. I've never stayed in disney or universal. Always stay on Int Drive (Rosen Inn @ Pointe Orlando) across from the upside down house. Last time I was there, I stayed in the Rosen International beside the big McDonald's. Both hotels are great locations. Theres a pub down beside the smaller slingshot that ye passed earlier in the vlog (near the gift shop). I presume it's still there but alot of the locals drink in it. Nothing to look at but a great little pub 😀 The theme parks are great but it's also nice to get away from the disney/universal bubble too.

@ninipoo111 2 года назад

Hello from Australia, I look forward to your vlog everyday. I stayed at a Homewood just behind senor frogs a few years ago. Excellent position for entertainment and food.

I think most Americans portions are good to share. Keeps the cost down thats for sure

@mariebrawn3180 2 года назад

If you like those sassy car stickers go to Spencers shop in The Florida Mall. They have the best slogan T-shirt’s. From memory it is near the JC Penny indoor entrance. There are a few ADULT items in the shop, promise that’s not what I went in for😂

@tallactordude 2 года назад

I think I probably could’ve eaten all of that French toast, though I would probably have only wanted one more meal that day. But I’m American, so I’m used to those kind of portions. A thing about the scooters: they may be fun if you’re a tourist, but if you’re a local they’re considered a menace. They have them here, and I don’t know anyone here who likes them. And actually, Putt-Putt is a specific franchise of miniature golf courses that have been around in the US for years. I used to get together with a group of guys when I was in high school to play at an official Putt-Putt course (now long gone) when I was in high school almost 50 years ago.

@TheLodgeGuys 2 года назад

Can imagine why people would think they are a menace. They are fun though

@tallactordude 2 года назад

@@TheLodgeGuys I think the reason is that people tended to abandon them in the middle of the sidewalk in all sorts of awkward and inconvenient places. When they first came here there was enough of an outcry that they were banned for a while, though they appear to be back again.

By the way can you tell me how much you paid for car rental, we usually go with uscarhire, the prices have shot up, apparently its because they can't get chips for the cars?

@tammyberrisford8781 2 года назад

A question for Leigh, if you don’t like the drops on flumes and coasters how come you go on Tower of terror and space mountain? I am going for the first time in September and I also hate the drop feeling where your belly goes and would avoid rides like tower of terror and space mountain but I’ve seen that you go on these, are they not too bad? Loving the vlogs ❤️

@TheLodgeGuys 2 года назад

Space mountain doesn't bother me at all. I think because you are in the dark and can't see what's coming up. It's fun. I used to hate tot and still get a little nervous when waiting in line but I just love it when I'm on it.

@normalincoln8502 2 года назад

In march 2019 we had a meal at Bahama Breeze. We left and realised we had left a bag of shopping on the table. We went back for it five minutes later and it had vanished and the waitress said she hadn't seen it. Not saying it was the waitress, but someone either half hinched it or threw it away by mistake. It always reminds us of that whenever we see a Bahaman breeze now. Its one of those things which happened which makes us laugh now as its left a lasting memory. Would definitely try the place again though
