Raised On Florida Sunshine

If you’re not from around here, thx for joining me in the Sunshine State. If you’re interested in different things to do around the State of Florida, come follow me. Like and subscribe to my channel to keep up to date with new and fun things to do around here, particularly in the south west Florida area and beyond. Whether it is going to Florida festivals, art and craft shows, amusement parks, beach trips, vacations, the preparation for these trips and zooming around in our fun in the sun Mini Coopers, I want to share my Florida life with you and invite you to tag along.
As a kid, I was always trying to borrow my dad’s video camera and I always had a camera on hand. I seem to be the resident photographer/videographer on our family trips and I love it! So it just makes sense for me to post my videos. I mean I’m making them anyway for myself, might as well share them too! Hopefully you enjoy them as much as I do creating them. Would love to be friends. Comment, Like and Subscribe. ☀️

Christmas time at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort, Gingerbread House, Christmas Decor, Disney Magic
Today I spent the day with my Nephew at Disney’s Grand Floridian resort in Orlando, Florida. This is the best time of year to come and sightsee everything. the resorts have to offer. At Christmas time, the Grand Floridian gets all decked out for Christmas and has a huge Christmas tree and life-size gingerbread house that you can purchase gingerbread treats from.
We had fun walking around, taking in everything, shopping at all of the sweet little shops, looking at Christmas decor and goodies.  We had lunch at the Grand Floridian Café, and enjoyed our food and the excellent service! We even brought home an array of gingerbread treats for the family❤️🎄
Let’s be Friends ☺️

Although not exactly seasoned Shellers, they do show the abundance of seashells that can accumulate on Sanibel and the beauty of the Island. ❤
I miss Sanibel 😢
Thanks for sharing this. I like that boat.
15:57 please tell me you checked the Lightning whelk 😂😂😂😂
Always!😊
Thanks for making this video!
Looks like they need to do some levelling out of the beach and some grooming.
Yes, I think they have a lot of work ahead of them from all the storms.
I live in Pennsylvania...I would love to come down to see the shells..🐚
Love Pennsylvania! Have family there, so pretty up there. You should make a trip!☀️🌊🐚
It was nice shelling with you today. Thanks 😊
Disk Docina
Ooo, thank you!!☺️
You found some beautiful Calico Clams.
If you are only getting one key cash through bookings, you need to look into the One Key Credit Card.
Will do! Thank you ☺️
This shell called the sark's eye 😊. Hello from Greece.
@@nikoletastavropoulou5515 Hello 👋🏻 ☺️ it’s such a beautiful shell.
@@RaisedOnFloridaSunshine I agree 😊
Shark eyes or Moon shells
I stayed there in May I thought the staff went above and beyond I had a preferred room I stayed in 101 Dalmatians section ground floor thank you for the video when I come back I'm staying here again
@@deniseorlinski8056, I agree, the staff were great and I thought the Dalmatian area was so cute!
What you call angel wings are call Pin shells. Buttons were made from those many, many years ago.
Nice, I bet they were beautiful!
Those big shells you like are Giant Atlantic Cockles or Heart Cockles
Awesome 🤩 thank you 🩷
I've stayed at a few resorts even a moderate one but All Star Movies is my favorite! What is the construction going on near the food court?
@@Worldize …Hi there! Yea, it is a great resort! Love all the oversized figures 🤩 I’m not sure what all the construction was for. Hopefully expanding the food selection and the extra seating is definitely needed.
So cool , we don’t have shells like this on Long Island ny . Hope you are safe during all the hurricanes 🙏Keep shelling ✌🏼💙🌍🐚
Oh wow, I didn’t know that about Long Island! Thank you for your kind words. We went back after hurricane Helene came through and I didn’t realize that Sanibel had got hit with so much water. They had all the beach access closed. I was hoping to go back after the storm because I heard you could get really good shells after a good storm comes through, but unfortunately I couldn’t get onto the beach. We had to leave our home for Hurricane Milton because we are in a flood zone so we are hunkering down on the other coast. Praying for everyone.❤️🙏🏻
Hey Buddy, I hope you're doing well. Really I Love to watch how you enjoy your daily activities.
Thanks for the video I booked for Fantasy fest weekend, stays are so expensive at the keys .this one is cheaper. I will take air refreshing plug that will help with old smell 😂
Hehe, good idea 😄
I gotta give these Value Resorts credit. They look really cool and the rooms seem really current, comfortable, and ergonomically friendly. There's beauty in simple.
Totally agree 😊
Did you have a regular or perferred room?
Hi 👋🏻 I booked online a preferred room for Friday and Saturday night. Then we decided to go up a night earlier, so I called Disney so there wouldn’t be any issues with the room we were in. When I spoke to the guy on the phone, he said there were only standard rooms available and that we would have to check in and check out after the first night and switch rooms since I made two different reservations. But I was happily surprised when we got there, the person that checked us in said there would be no issues and we wouldn’t have to switch rooms because of the two different reservations. I’m guessing they put us in a preferred room but I’m not 100% sure. But I did get the benefits of a preferred room, which it said online, we would get two luggage tags and free tickets to wide world of sports, Disney miniature golf and discounts to restaurants. I did have to remind them of this though, just as I was leaving the check in desk I questioned them about it and they gave me an envelope with all those things inside. There was nothing going on at wide world of sports so we went and did the Disney putt putt, which was a lot of fun and I even have extra coupon cards where I think we can still use them till the end of this year so that was really nice! We also had a little mini fridge in our room so I’m not sure if the standard room does not come with one and I believe the preferred room is supposed to be close to where you check in which our room wasn’t too far away. We are a Florida resident, of course, so we got the Florida resident discount which was 30% off and our nightly rate was $174.40. Hope this helps ☺️
Awesome for posting this it will help many veterans...
I was so bummed when i saw the shark hanging. Im really happy i continued watching to hear you say it was a fiberglass reproduction and that they let the actual shark go.
I know, right?!! Me too!
We just booked there for 2 nights for Fantasy Fest. This is an awesome video. You showed it all. My wife gets nervous staying in family owned motels. We’ve stayed in some duzzies. This helped her bigtime. Thanks. .
Oh awesome, thanks for sharing ☺️glad this helped!
@@RaisedOnFloridaSunshine that’s a crazy little boat you guys have. I watched all 3 of your videos. We have a 50’ boat that there are times I wish I had more freeboard. The twin skateboards are interesting. Water is to cold here. I would also encourage you both to wear inflatable life jackets. You get ejected from hitting something you are going to drown. Can’t make anymore cool vids if you’re dead.
@@thereissomecoolstuff, thank you, yes life jackets! We have them on the back of our seats, but that does no good there. Thank you for the reminder 😊
Brewers jaws
Bruce!😁🦈
Please!! Dont RUSH THE SEASONS...cant we enjoy Summer !?🙏🙏
I know right?!
Such a beautiful and peaceful video. In fact I had it on phone this afternoon at my desk while I was finishing up my last couple of hours.
That’s so nice 😊 thank you for sharing
Were you experience boaters before buying a CC? Thanks.
We have had some experience boating on a regular boat and briefly owned a different craigcat years ago, but hope to get more experience with it. Using the boat ramp together is a whole new adventure, lol, but hope to have confidence and expertise with it the more we do it.
Square grouper season in the mangroves but the eye in the sky is watchin.
We didn’t see any 😉😁
A couple of years ago we took our CC out from Key Largo and snorkeled on several reefs! I like that trolling motor!
Awesome! That’s exactly what I want to do! Go snorkeling off it! Was it difficult to get back on the boat if you were in water you couldn’t stand in?
@@RaisedOnFloridaSunshine Hi, it depends. I found it easy to use the snorkel fins to pop out of the water, spin around and sit on the pontoon. My wife found it harder but did it. You can practice it in your local water tho! You could rig a rope ladder if your having challenges.
@@mikedwyer5326, good idea with the fins, thx! Yes, I was thinking about possibly a rope ladder just incase. At least it wouldn’t take up too much room when not in use ☺️
Nice job, that's a Curt 11524 yes? Despite all the electrical work you did for your trailer lighting, did you have any hiccups on dismantling and reinstallation of the bumper - any clips or parts break. Doing the same to a '23 for a bike rack - no electrical work. Please advise. TIA.
Yes, that’s the one😊 No, we haven’t had any issues. Hope all goes smoothly for you in your installation.
I enjoyed seeing all the beautiful items in your Homegoods. Here in Saskatoon, we have Homesense, which is pretty well the same, with some similar items. I go to ours all the time and bought gorgeous Easter decor. Thank you for the nice walk through!
Sounds nice 😊
Thank you for these videos
Glad you like them!😊
Thanks for making this video and a Great how to you two How did you get on with the electrics and when you actually use the tow-bar (hitch) for towing does it set of the reverse sensors Thanks
Hello, thank you so much 😊 We actually googled the year, make and model of the car and found forums about it and when the vehicle is in reverse the back up sensors may activate depending on your trailer but when going forward no alarm will sound. Hope that helps! ☺️
Vinnies like...yea
lol….yep! 24/7 🤣
Wow! What a treat…loved seeing all the fun stuff for sale and the warm sunshine. We have a couple feet of snow up here in Haines, Alaska. Thanks for the video! 🥶🎅🦅🎄💚
Outstanding place to go a must see . Always changing every day something new great place .
I subscribed despite the keys because over all I enjoyed your content. 😊 Merry Christmas 🎄
Merry Christmas 🎄 ❤️ Thank you so much!!
Good video but the keys were very annoying. Can’t you put them away? 😮
Oh my goodness!! Yes, thank you for pointing that out to me!! 😉Sorry about that 🫣
@@RaisedOnFloridaSunshine Thank YOU for caring. I can’t wait to check out your other videos. ☺️
Interesting, what's you tow weight capacity?
According to Amazon it says it tows up to 2,000 pounds. Curt 115243 class 1 hitch that we purchased on Amazon.
Nice job! What was the official 3M color you used?
Thank you! Hot Rod Red 😊
Nice video. What model of hitch did you install?
Thank you! Curt. We purchased off Amazon.
Must take awhile to clean up insurance??
Yes, so many people out on the island still dealing with the effects of the hurricane. I think because now insurances want everything to code for rebuilding/repairs.
Surprised you didn’t see a sharknado there with the recent storm! Great vid 😁
Oh I see, it was a from a month ago lol
Hehe, that’s the only thing missing from there! Ha! That’s a great idea 🦈🌪️
