Must Try Mexican Foods: Sampling a Few Local Dishes
Awesome 👏
🙂
Nice short . Music and pace 👍👍
Thanks!
Good one. We're headed there next week. I hope we get cold weather. 70' lol Was night better ? Ice skating skills Snow ball fight what else but some good pizza. Wow $25 Thanks for the info
It is better to do the 5pm to 7 pm on the snow tubing area! You get the golden hour plus night lights. We had fun, but we haven't been snow tubing very much. My youngest and Mike have never seen snow lol. Enjoy your time!
Like 14! Love the short! 👍🏻👍🏻
Holiday fun! I love Christmas lights!
I've never gone to the office again. That manager is so rude. We tried to get a refund because we couldn't go because we need one adult tab 1 and we played $65 for nothing so and then we said and then we walked around, and then the manager said. How about how do you not have $5? You can just don't believe in the law. They're getting away with it still.
I am sorry you had a bad time ☹️
I once took a cruise, oh what a mistake, With promises grand, like sunsets and cake. But the truth of it all, I now must confess, Was a floating fiasco-a lukewarm mess! The food, oh the food! It was slimy and gray, Each meal felt the same, like a déjà vu day. The chicken was rubber, the pasta a glue, And desserts? Just sugar with no flavor in view. Then came the pitches, oh sales without end, “Buy this! Try that! Here’s cash you can spend!” From spa deals to diamonds, from photos to booze, They chased me from breakfast right into my shoes. Activities? Sure-if you like to repeat, The same trivia game or a deck-chair seat. Karaoke at seven, line dancing at eight, And bingo by nine-oh, isn’t that great? The crowds were aplenty, the quiet was not, And don’t get me started on how hot it got. The pools were all packed, the buffets were a fight, For cold, soggy pancakes or seafood last night. They promised adventure, a getaway thrill, But it felt like a hamster wheel, circling still. So no more cruises, no ships for this guy, I’d rather stay home, watch clouds drift by. Because vacations, you see, should be restful and grand, Not a hard sell at sea or a meal you can’t stand. So farewell to the ocean, the decks, and the view- This sailor’s retired, no cruises, thank you
@@benc4u116 okay 🙃
Great video my friend
Thank you! 🙂
I absolutely LOVE this park. I’ve been there a couple times and I love it
@@bluesteno64 we had fun here! It was great being able to just walk around! 🙂
That actually looks like a fun time. Very cool. I didnt know there is such a thing. HAHA. LIKE 20👍👍👍
In Dade City Pasco County. It has been there a few years now. Really fun!
Have always heard of this place but have never gone there. It looks like a LOT of fun!
The snow tubing is fun! It can be a little expensive. We go on the weekdays to save a little money. It is just fun to participate in a winter event in 70 degree weather lol.
Hey I live there😊
It is a cute town! Our lunch was really good! 🙂
You do such a phenomenal job with your room tours! I have so much to learn 😫😅 I really love the pool area, looks so relaxing!
Thank you! I always have too much to say in a small amount of time. Talking on camera sometimes still makes me nervous, lol. The pool area of this resort is a lot of fun! We would definitely go back here to relax! 🙂
The lights are beautiful! I really love the cluster of stars, all of the lighted trees, and that tree of lights. So pretty!
This is an incredible park! We want to do the Halloween event next year!
This place looks so cool, and looks much nicer (we'll warmer) than tubing in NY!
We were almost sweating walking up the ramp to get to the top lol. The Igloo with snow was really cold!
Looks fun as always! I can deal with a 70 degree Christmas! 😂
I like between 60 and 70. I have not enjoyed the 50s lol.
We went here a few years back. Loved all the tubing… a Florida style winter wonderland 😊
This was one of our first holiday events when we started the channel. They changed it a lot. It's definitely fun! 🙂
70 degrees is a great temp for snow tubing! lol
Lol right! Snow Tubing in Florida, it is definitely different.
So cool, just saw this now but may have to squeeze this into my florida trip!
It is a wonderful evening! 🙂
Wow looks amazing! Would love to stay there!!
We enjoyed our stay here! It's such a big affordable room!
Congratulations!!!
Thank you!
I missed a lot of these trees, thanks so much for sharing!!
We had fun checking out all the trees! The holiday snacks were good, too!
Awesome!! A nice swim, for sure
It was really neat to see the remains of an old steamer ship. The turtles were cool, too! 🙂
An awesome place to visit. Thanks for sharing
Beautiful park! 🙂
Amazing! Thank you very much for sharing! Like 23.
Thank you for watching! 🙂
Шикарный домик! Мне очень нравится! Поздравляю с премьерой! Классное видео!
Thank you for watching! We are glad you enjoyed it! 🙂
Loved the lights! 😍 Thanks for sharing & Happy Holidays to your family.
We are glad you enjoyed our video! Christmas lights are my favorite! Thank you for watching! 🙂🎄
Hey I plan on going! Do you think its safe for a solo trip?
Are you going to the Occidental resort? If so, I recommend a few things while in Mexico. Order your shuttle from the hotel round-trip. When you get off the plane, they will send you an email to tell you who to look for. At the resort, you should be safe. They have security and fences. If you are going to Xcaret Eco Park, it is a short walk on the resort property to get to. As with any vacation or travel, don't put yourself in dangerous situations and leave with people you don't know. We brought our kids there. They slept in a different room, down the hall. We felt safe the entire time. Just stick with tour groups and crowds. One thing we were told is send someone a picture of the taxi drivers license plate as a just in case and let them know your plans. That alerts people of your travel plans and if you made it back. It is just a precaution. Good luck, and I hope you have fun! 🙂
Awesome Site To See
The colder it is outside, the more Manatees show up here. It is a really nice day outing!
Wow! Nice place, for sure
It was like watching a show! Very interesting and fun!
I’m originally from Tallahassee and went there as a kid in early 2000s
It was a lot of fun! We want to return and stay at the hotel!
I am so excited you attended this! I went on November 25th. It’s one of my favorite events!
We want to do the Halloween event next year! It is a fun place!
Big like. We haven't been there yet in all the years we lived here. Good video Thanks Aloha still ...lol
Nice! Have fun! It looks amazing! This event is a lot of fun!
No sign of Ben McDaniel?
@henrybankard8728 unfortunately no. It's always sad when divers disappear.
@@FloridaandBeyond Just listened to a Podcast about the disappearance. Sad indeed.
@henrybankard8728 it is a big spring, and the caves underground are deep. Very sad!
Looks like a great time. Never been there great tip on taking bus to park free
They only have so much parking at the gardens, so they use off-site parking, which is free. You have to get the pass when you get your tickets online. You even have to pick a reservation time. The event is really fun!
Great video my friend ..full suport
Thank you! 🙂
Everything looks pretty awesome but that Crystal Kingdom was probably my favorite 🤩
That was a lot of fun, too! The Garden of Reflection was our favorite. It was heavenly and so peaceful. It is a great event!
the beauty of the night welcoming Christmas is very beautiful, friends
The lights are incredible!
Very cool! We'll visit from Palm Coast. Sad though that they don't even mention the word Christmas there? That's the reason for the season! Thanks for the vid.
It is meant to be a holiday celebration so all people can enjoy. The first section is Holiday Wishes, which it was Holiday Greetings in different languages. Thanks for watching, and Merry Christmas! 🙂🎄
You know, we have lived in Orlando for 4 years and never been!!! We might have to do it. HAHA. LIKE 4. 👍👍👍
You should! It is a lot of fun! Get your tickets online and have fun! 🙂
I believe it was built by people way before H P showed up. It makes no sense otherwise. Thank you guys ❤
@scottgeigle3549 I am sorry, what was built? It was the Tampa Bay hotel, and according to the history we saw built in 1888 by Henry B Plant. It operated between 1891 and 1930 before shutting down due to the great depression. It is a beautiful building like the other Henry B Plant buildings!
Now that the weather is good we'll have to go do the tree hike. With Vodka 😮😮
It is a lot of fun! It was like 65 degrees when we went. It was nice because we got to eat Sven! So good! Have a fun time! 🙂
We did this a few years back. I didnt know it was going on again. I’m partial towards the Nightmare Before Christmas tree. Was that Walk the Moon in concert? 😎🎄
I am actually not sure who was in concert. It looked like the singer but didn't see a name. I think the event goes on every year. It was fun! 🙂
Nice overview of the Sheraton.
Thank you!
I went there
It is a lot of fun!
Yeah
Awesome!! Thanks for sharing
🙂
Like 21 👍 Hello from Naples, Florida. Very nice Christmas Tree, for sure! Enjoyed the show, too. Thanks for sharing with us, have a great weekend 👍 💯 ❤
Thank you for watching, and have a great weekend, too!🙂
That is such a cute house! Love the ceilings and that master bedroom😍 Gainesville is such a fun city too! What a great prize! Congratulations on hitting 5k too🥳🎉🎊
Thank you! We have had a lot of fun doing this. The house is so cute and the owner Lonie is very nice! Mike and I want to go back to Gainesville one day and visit more things. 🙂
I enjoyed seeing the new trees at the stroll. I like the Guardians of the Galaxy tree a lot! We just started watching the most recent movie last night. The Christmas Tree stroll is always fun and the seasonal treats 🤤 Thinking of taking the kids just for fun. Thanks for the tour! Fun video!
They will love it! We had so much fun! Thanks for watching, and have a great holiday!
Yes! A desk for UA-cam editing 😂🤣 I normally sit on the patio when I have to edit when I’m at the resort. I much rather be in that tub! Love the layout of the room! Love the travel shirts too- notriphobia 🤣😂 7 pools though 😮 Can’t take my kids there! They wouldn’t leave us alone 😂 Fun video!
@OffOurCouch there is so much for little ones to do! Mike loves his t-shirts, lol. It was a great trip! 🙂
Great guide guys. We were just there in WDW. Happy belated Thanksgiving.
Happy Thanksgiving to you, too! I saw your video the other day. What day were you there? We were there Nov 21st.
