As an American native-born why did you guys come here after the settlers and pilgrims left your country to get away from you? But then you guys keep showing up here and complaining after we already came and stole a whole other country just for us and then you come here and complain about it I cuisine when you go back home and eat beans and toast go have some Earl Grey tea and then fly on back to the Merry Old London tap bloke we season our food here no boiled goose
Imagine getting that mad and hardly being able to articulate words and string them into actual sentences. Firstly why watch a video if the content isn’t for you? Secondly if it does annoy you why not just go chat to your special friend and see if they can get you to calm down? Thirdly how backwards are your views on the world! But finally you clearly don’t understand by watching and commenting you are supporting this amazing channel that you actively decided to attack......so well done ‘John Smith’ you have unintentionally played yourself, congratulations you won the helmet of the year award and it’s only the 2nd Jan
Dearest John Smith... you seem to be upset with us fine English ladies and gentlemen. One enjoys ones frequent holibobs to your side of the great pond that you call America. We as a nation who eat nothing but beans on toast and drink Earl grey tea (from China cups with our pinkies firmly in the air) are very grateful for you historic cuisine of Mac n cheese and sloppy joe sandwich. We only steel hearts with our British wit and beautiful smiles not countries, I mean how would one fit that in a 23kg suitcase? You really are a silly sausage and one who should go back to school (if you are really old enough to have his own door key), your grammar my dear, is what one would call..... hilarious and this queen of her castle thanks you for making me tittle into my gloved hands. Have a wonderful 2021 and I do so hope to bump into you on ones next holibob to your country that us Britonians love so very much that we keep returning. Toodle pip John x
This was brilliant!!! I mean properly brilliant.. so well put together so much info . Smashed it. We are sat here saying we need to get out of the Disney bubble a bit more. Still cant believe the size of that burrito. First class guys !!
Honestly that burrito was something else! There are some great places and doesnt cost the earth. To be fair you guys pick some class restaurants round Springs - we want to add some of them to our list!
We have just found your channel and really enjoyed these two i-drive videos. We have stayed there twice before and hadn't even heard of some of these places! Like you guys we like fairly simple food too, nothing overly fancy, so these types of places are exactly where we would look to eat, Millers for sure and Dave & Busters looks like great fun too. Fingers crossed we will be going back in September this year after postponing from last year, we are from England too so its been awful with all the uncertainty about us getting back there after saving up for so long. Also we absolutely love Jimmy, what a total legend and a superstar in the making. Looking forward to watching your other videos, thanks for uploading!
Thanks ever so much Kev, really appreciate that 👍 We love doing the food vidoes and can't wait to get back and visit some old favourites and try to new places too.
This is great! I live here, and a CM, just love hearing a different perspective on the areas around us! Good video and hope to see you on your next trip!
Thank you and our thoughts are with you as a CM in these difficult and horrible times. Praying that things get back to normal ASAP and hope to get back to see you guys who do such a wonderful job soon ❤
Great video, some excellent food choices. I agree with comments on Miller's, used to eat there when we stayed at Rosen inn at pointe Orlando. Looking forward to seeing your next video.
Thanks Ian. We were kicking ourselves we never ate at Millers before! The amount of times we walked past 🤦♀️ I think it was our best value meal for sure 💖
Food glorious food! And the glorious Despicable Three - even better. Such an education for us as we rarely eat offsite. I want mash potato right now! Great video, thanks for sharing xxx
Loved your vid , made me jealous but booked for Sept '23 so watchout Florida . Tried the longhorn once and was greatly disappointed , love the outback always a toss up of the ribs or the alice spring chicken , Uno's is well worth a visit as is Uncle Julio's . Chilli's love the fajitas and was greatly impressed with Cici's buffet . Will miss the Ponderosa breakfast , also can't go wrong with Denny's for a good quick meal , Ihop make's a great chicken fajita omlette and their tropical twist was to die for but see they do.t do it anymore . Truth be told there are so many restuarants that are great it boils down to how fancy and how much you want to spend . As i usually stay in Kissimme i'll usually have breakfast on the 192 but have my evening meal on International Drive . Thanks again for your vid and as always have a great time
Hi guys. Just binge watched the last couple of your vlogs. Awesome vlogs, never disappointed. Hope Jimmy having a great summer break. Hope your all good. X
@@TD3Vlogs Hey guys. Sorry been so long. Just got back from camping. Just caught up on your recent vlogs awesome as ever. Yes we will find Jim on FB we will do it this weekend. Hoping to see you soon. Hope you are all having a great summer. X
Thank you so much! This vid was from our May trip and I'll be doing another idrive food video from our Sept trip in the next few weeks 💖 Hope you have a lovely holiday! We love idrive
really enjoyed this, good to see whats on offer off site. hope you're settled into the new house, we're still sorting flat pack and decorating but loving it x
Thanks Kylie, we are getting there slowly but surely & great to hear you are enjoying it too. You can come and help us decorate if you like as you love it so much 😉💖 xx
Great stuff! Makes me want to stay on International Drive again just for the food! Loved the look of glee on Jim's face when he got his double helping of mash...we was SO happy!!! 🤣
What a great vidéo with amazing information thankyou so much we did none of those restaurants when we went in june but will certainly be trying Some next time we come back to Cabana bay
Honestly my favourite videos, i’m also an only child and they remind me of when me and my mum and dad went when I was younger. Jimmy is so smart and sassy and you’re all a lovely family! I’ve even got my mum watching you guys and the only thing on RUclips she watches are my vlogs😂 love these good videos, we’re massive foodies too! Xx
Thanks Sophie, thats really kind of you to say. Just checked out your channel and see you have an Alton Towers vlog so we will be checking that out. We go regularly as we live within 30 minutes of the gates 👍 Thanks again
Loved your videos from this trip. So refreshing to see something that isn’t all Disney related. There are a million videos on RUclips about that. We were there May this year, already seems so long ago 😢 Anyways thanks so much for sharing your holiday on RUclips . We can’t wait to go back next year now for Halloween horror nights. Only 391 days to go 🙂
Thanks for sharing. I am in the process of planning a solo trip for Sep/Nov next year, I haven't been to Florida for over 15 years, and will be staying on I Drive. It was lovely seeing some places still there but really excited to try news places to x
Fab information video. We shall be on i-drive (Encalves) so this is great for us. I have written down Millers, Dave & Busters, Cheesecake Factory as places to eat at. Some of the others look really good too.
Ah I'm sure Rebecca would love Dave and Busters! It was so much fun and a lot of fun spending the winnings in the shop too. Also Miller's is directly over the road from D&Bs so after we ate there we nipped over to games too x
We love BJ's. The pizookie is amazing. If you go again they have trio and you can choose the flavours. Best dessert we have. We always go to Cheesecake Factory, Olive Garden, Maggianos and PF Changs when in Orlando. My brother lives there so we go a lot.
That's awesome your brother lives there! Were not the biggest Italian eaters but Olive Garden always seems really popular. May need to add to the list xx
Very informative! I usually visit the Longhorn on Vineland near the outlet mall. Another great place to visit in Orlando is Keke’s for breakfast and brunch. Check it out the next time you’re in Orlando. BTW-I love your accent. 😊
I've not heard of Kekes, will definitely look it up 😁 I'd always much prefer to go somewhere on a recommendation than anything else. Thank you so much for watching 💖
I love an Outback! 2 4 1 cocktails at Applebee’s also a winner. I cannot wait to get back out there. Bored of my beans and toast and only so much goose a girl can stomach 😘
I was literally drooling over that salmon! Looked right up my street! Thankfully we watched this whilst eating dinner so didn’t make me starving 😊 Great vlog guys 💜
ALL the food looked amazing. A few places we have never ate at , maybe next time. Highlights for me include the cheesecake factory and millers. Shame you never tried the captains jacks buried treasure at Millers, its a beast of a desert, i love it. So famous it has videos on youtube.
You just earned yourselves a new subscriber! Really informative and entertaining. And just as you, I am a simple man so I just love your choices of food, straight up my alley :) We´re going to Orlando in the next 2 years so I´m dreaming away and scouting out the best restaurants to eat. Besides the parks, would you recommend to spend a day just along the I drive? Thanx and greetings from Sweden.
Thanks very much. We love I Drive but have found tha it has deteriorated over the past few years (lots of places have closed) but there are still plenty of gems too. Icon park is the best area to spend a few hours in my opinion 👍
@@TD3Vlogs Ahh ok, I see. Maybe I won´t plan en entire day on I drive then. Seems like visiting in the evening after visiting the amusent parks, will be just fine then. Thank you for your answer and happy travels!
You know we love your vlogs, love how you put all the details in prices etc, so good to know. Dont think we will be eating out that much, but would love to try Millers... heard so much about it. That meal Jim had at Cheesecake factory :o had both Amy and I with hand out measuring how big that meal was!! Thank you
Haha we usually compare food sizes to heads or hands 😂 Thank you so much 💖 We love food and love watching it all back in one place as a side by side comparrison. Millers was amazing and definitely the best value price wise x
Hello , just found your channel new subscriber, yea 🥰. Remember many years ago my fav was Red lobster , never seem to see it Florida vlogs anymore , anyway enjoying your vlogs 🥰
If I may reccomend? If you like Mexican food, Uncle Julio's at the Orlando eye cannot be beat. It's our favorite in the area. Also at the eye, Yard House is excellent as well.
Hi guys we stay onsite at Disney and have a quick service meal plan but we still go off site to visit old favourites like Perkins Dennys and the Golden Corral
yes jimmy my man!!!! pretzel dogs!!! my fave - the ones at auntie annes in the airport are normally my last thing I eat on a trip. LOVE longhorns. my favourite place in Florida. haven't done outback yet as always go back to longhorns. Millers is also the best! such good value. have you tried chuys? they do a happy hour which I love. its really cool inside and they serve FREE unlimited nachos when you get a drink and you help yourself. They are served in the back of a Cadillac! the cocktails are yum too! I really need to try Cheesecake Factory after seeing this. looks really good! great vlog!
Hi Kirsty! Not tried Chuys but seen it around, and free nachos sounds amazing 😍 Love going places off a recommendation more than anything else. I'm sure Jimmy would love Auntie Anne's too by the sound of it 😁💖
Thank you. The main thing I would say is make sure you do your planning particularly if you are visiting Disney. Its not a holiday where you can wing it. For example, if there are restaraunts that you want to eat at make a note of them and in the case of Disney you can book them 180 days in advance and for places like Be our Guest you will need to do that to have a chance of getting a table 👍
Love your videos keep up the good work we are thinking about staying at the enclave suites for our Florida holiday next year do you recommend this hotel we normally stay at the Rosen inn international we love this location on I drive
Thanks Derek 😊 We had booked the most basic studio room - and it was basic with noisy air con but for what we paid we thought it was cracking! Free continental breakfast each day too, if you book through virgin holidays it's free hot breakfast (which was really good!). Free bus to Universal and SeaWorld. Every room has a balcony. We loved the location and would stay there again - but probably would upgrade to a superior room.
Excellent videos and really informative. We are staying in Cabana Bay in December 2019 and when we go back in Nov 2020 we fancied International Drive so these videos have been really helpful. Do you always use Lyft/Uber for getting to the parks/Disney Springs etc and do you get about on I-Drive on foot as well ?
Thanks Derek & pleased that you have found the vlogs useful. We used to use regular taxis (Mears) and the I Trolley but on this last trip we used Lyft daily and it was brilliant. Very reliable and reasonanble prices. This is what we will always do going forward. We like a stroll on I Drive too but if its any more than 15-20 minutes we would use Lyft. Have a great time when you go back next year 👍👍👍
I can’t wait to go back to chilis now I’m November we have been craving it since last June 🇺🇸 we will give millers a try too as them zinger fries look delicious 😋 (highly recommend it) x
Chilis is amazing! We were really disappointed with the to-go though. Millers was our biggest suprise of the holiday, couldn't fault any part of it. Not long til you're back there now 💖😊
Next time you go to the Cheesecake Factory I’d HIGHLY recommend ;) the pasta da Vinci. It has Sautéed Chicken, Mushrooms and Onions in a Delicious Madeira Wine Sauce Tossed with Penne Pasta and Parmesan. I get it every single time and if my husband decides to get something else he always regrets it and wants some of mine lol.
Hi Lisa, we always tend to go for early lunches (11:30) or early dinners (16:30/17:00) and that has worked well for us in the past but it does seem like places are a lot busier now so we have actually booked a couple of reservations online for our trip next month. We always tip in cash as you know that it is going directly to the person waiting your table. I hope you have a fantastic time out there and love it as much as we do. If you have any other questions please don't hesitate to drop us an email and I'll be happy to help wherever I can 🙂
I love all your videos, getting me ready for my universal holiday 😍 6 weeks to go! I noticed on your videos you show the tipping on the receipts, we are on abit of a budget 😬 and I saw allot of them tips are higher then I give in the uk, do you have to tip every time you eat out somewhere? And can you choose how much you want to tip? Like $3/$4? I know it sounds stingy but I’m on a tight budget 😬 x
Hi Jess. The waiting staff in US restaraunts get a ridiculously low rate of basic pay and rely on their tips hence why the service is generally so attentive and good. If you were to tip anything less than 15% then that would indicate that you have not been satisfied with the service. For good service (nearly always) we usually tip 20-22%. In buffet restaraunts we would leave $5ish and in quick service restaraunts there is no need to tip. Hope this helps & that you have a lovely time 😊
I need to eat at Cheesecake Factory mmmmm. Another fab video One question I noticed the 3 or 4 tip options on the receipts . How do you go about tipping ???
Hi there 👋 Cheesecake Factory is amazing isnt it - with the tip options I think of it as poor service 15%, standard is 18%, Good service 20%. Theres no hard and fast rules how much you do tip - we'd always do the 18-20% and try to make it to a round number if that makes sense 💖
Hey.. I have been watching all your orlando videos and they are fab. Im planning a trip for me and my family never been before!! Was wondering if you could reccomend some good places to stay that are not on site. But good for a family with a child aged 8. I would really appreciate that. X
Hi Stacey. We love staying on or near International drive. Would you consider staying on site at Universal? I only ask becuase there seem to be good deals for Cabana bay and everyone raves aboit it and they have bowling and a lazy river of their own so it sounds amazing for kids (we are booked there for Aug but haven't stayed before)
@@TD3Vlogs do tui do this?? I have been looking at seven springs dockside. I think thats what it's called. I'm just worried because we won't be driving so need to be able to sort of get everywhere.. 😩 I'm struggling to get holkday up from Manchester.. I cany wait to try some.of the food places you have put in your vlogs x
They do 😊 Do you mean Endless Summer Dockside (another Universal hotel). We stayed at the sister hotel (Surfside) and it was fab plus free buses to Universal and Volcano bay. You are on I Drive too which is super handy 👍
Cheesecake Factory millennia isn’t it’s only location at least in central Florida. There is another at the Winter park village near the movie theater. Same menu just its locals mostly in that area. Do not go anywhere near Ruth Chris steakhouse as it’s way too expensive for how little you get plus you pay for each side separate and it’s just not worth it. If you want to spend on a steak house go to Bonefish located in heathrow, the do a very good prime rib, the combo with a Madagascar shrimp is really good just be prepared as that shrimp is the size of a small lobster also they don’t have a kids menu but it’s a good date night restaurant. Avoid Bonefish on a Friday as it’s packed with people unwinding from work.
The Despicable Three worth the money, just don’t bring jimmy. And be prepared to spend about a hundred dollars on food but hey it’s worth it plus if you get the jacket potato aka baked potato they dress the whole thing for you table-side. Every entree is a side and a salad no soup unless you specify it. Bonefish has two major things that set it apart from other steakhouses, one is their open kitchen with a real wood fire grill underneath which they put right in the front of the restaurant and you actually feel the heat coming from it , next is their dry age steaks roughly 30 to 60 days depending on what cut you want and which they display in the front in an aging fridge so it’s ok I want that kind of deal. They also do very good seafood. Their food is usually very locally sourced so that steak was probably raised near Gainesville, Florida and the seafood likely came from a fishing area just offshore Florida except the farm raised Madagascar shrimp, basically if it can pulled from the ground or fished or whatever it likely came from Florida. It’s really worth the money especially if you can eat the local products Florida provides.on the menu on the top page it actually lists out who provides what to the restaurant and where they are located. Besides you two need a date night so you can just enjoy each other. Oh and don’t wear shorts to Bonefish wear jeans and a t-shirt for some reason the restaurant doesn’t like shorts.
Been watching your vids this weekend, into make up for not flying to Orlando next Saturday 😢 and prepping for a trip to stay at Universal in October. Heard you mention a few times you love Blackpool and that’s where we live. Check out our vlogs. We have some Florida and Disney vlogs up too and plan to do more in the future.
first off if you go to Orlando you go to the Golden Corral every single time there is one on Sand Lake Road opposite the big McDonald's steak chicken shrimp anything you want salad and they got everything in there and it's a buffet you can eat as much as you like for about $15 restaurants you pointed out of rubbish they are for tourists I've been to I drive more times than I can remember another place to go is Arby's unbelievable beef I got one on Orange Blossom Trail just down from the Florida Mall going towards Kissimmee you can get the bus 111 from the Florida Mall and the number 107 from the Florida Mall 2 restaurants I've recommended are the best in Orlando if on a budget if you want to waste money you can pick the two that you picked out
@@TD3Vlogs thank you for getting back to me tell me where in Orlando that you can get better food than at the golden Corral especially for the prices they charge
Loved the video. Great to have honest views. We eat at Soup plantation a lot. Maybe you would like to check out the website. Can I ask how you feel about the suggested gratuities?
Thanks Elaine - I've not heard if soup plantation. With the gratuities of course it's more than we'd tip in the UK but we respect the culture in the USA. We tend to go for the 18-20% mark as on the suggested. It's just something to factor in when pricing up the meals. 👍🏻
Ah really? That's such a shame but it seems like a few places have gone down the pan. I have heard a few horror stories about Chilis too. Glad to hear Longhorn are still turning out good food. We were very impressed with Cheddars Scratch Kitchen earlier this year and would definitely recommend it if you haven't eaten there before 👍
I’m the 1 person that hates Cheesecake factory😂😂😂. I’m not sure if Orlando has Grand lux but you have to try it. It’s owned by the same company as Cheesecake Factory but better

We love BJ's. The pizookie is amazing. If you go again they have trio and you can choose the flavours. Best dessert we have. We always go to Cheesecake Factory, Olive Garden, Maggianos and PF Changs when in Orlando. My brother lives there so we go a lot.
That's awesome your brother lives there! Were not the biggest Italian eaters but Olive Garden always seems really popular. May need to add to the list xx
Very informative! I usually visit the Longhorn on Vineland near the outlet mall. Another great place to visit in Orlando is Keke’s for breakfast and brunch. Check it out the next time you’re in Orlando. BTW-I love your accent. 😊
I've not heard of Kekes, will definitely look it up 😁 I'd always much prefer to go somewhere on a recommendation than anything else. Thank you so much for watching 💖
I always enjoy your videos. You have such a lovely family.
Thank you Sandra 😊 We look forward to seeing you comment and really appreciate you watching 💖💖
Really love your videos! Looking forward to seeing the next trip. :) Thank you!
Thank you so much for watching 😊
I love an Outback! 2 4 1 cocktails at Applebee’s also a winner. I cannot wait to get back out there. Bored of my beans and toast and only so much goose a girl can stomach 😘
LOVE it 😍😍😍 xx
I was literally drooling over that salmon! Looked right up my street! Thankfully we watched this whilst eating dinner so didn’t make me starving 😊
Great vlog guys 💜
Thanks Vicky! Omg that salmon from Outback was outstanding. I love trying new places but reallllly want to back there for it again x
ALL the food looked amazing. A few places we have never ate at , maybe next time. Highlights for me include the cheesecake factory and millers. Shame you never tried the captains jacks buried treasure at Millers, its a beast of a desert, i love it. So famous it has videos on youtube.
I remember you telling us about how you guys love Millers before. Kicking ourselves weve never been before! Need to save room for dessert next time 💖
You just earned yourselves a new subscriber! Really informative and entertaining. And just as you, I am a simple man so I just love your choices of food, straight up my alley :) We´re going to Orlando in the next 2 years so I´m dreaming away and scouting out the best restaurants to eat.
Besides the parks, would you recommend to spend a day just along the I drive?
Thanx and greetings from Sweden.
Thanks very much. We love I Drive but have found tha it has deteriorated over the past few years (lots of places have closed) but there are still plenty of gems too. Icon park is the best area to spend a few hours in my opinion 👍
@@TD3Vlogs Ahh ok, I see. Maybe I won´t plan en entire day on I drive then. Seems like visiting in the evening after visiting the amusent parks, will be just fine then.
Thank you for your answer and happy travels!
Thank you and you too
You know we love your vlogs, love how you put all the details in prices etc, so good to know. Dont think we will be eating out that much, but would love to try Millers... heard so much about it. That meal Jim had at Cheesecake factory :o had both Amy and I with hand out measuring how big that meal was!! Thank you
Haha we usually compare food sizes to heads or hands 😂 Thank you so much 💖 We love food and love watching it all back in one place as a side by side comparrison. Millers was amazing and definitely the best value price wise x
Karen Rutherford yum
All of these restaurants are large chains. Next trip you should check out, Uncle julio's restaurant, Hash House a gogo, Yard house
Someone recommended Uncle Julios and that is on our list for next time 👍 Thank you

I love this family! ❣️
Thank you ❤❤❤
Hello , just found your channel new subscriber, yea 🥰. Remember many years ago my fav was Red lobster , never seem to see it Florida vlogs anymore , anyway enjoying your vlogs 🥰
Thank you so much. We have never eaten at Red Lobster but will addmit to our list of places to try as it does seem to have a good reputation 👍
If I may reccomend? If you like Mexican food, Uncle Julio's at the Orlando eye cannot be beat. It's our favorite in the area. Also at the eye, Yard House is excellent as well.
Mexican food is 100% our favourite and Jim is googling Uncle Julios as I type this. Thank you for the recommendation 😊
The intro got me, he is adorable I had to subscribe ❤️
Thanks Naya, lovely of you to say. We are super proud of him. He's genuinely a lovely little lad 😍 x
Naya yess
Hi guys we stay onsite at Disney and have a quick service meal plan but we still go off site to visit old favourites like Perkins Dennys and the Golden Corral
Hi James - we've been to two of those but never to Perkins. Hopefully try that out on a future trip if its good?
Millers on I-Drive is my Favourite place to eat and drink in the whole of Orlando. My very picky brother loves their ribs
I bet it can be difficult to find somewhere with your brother then! Miller is amazing. We were kicking ourselves for never going before this trip 🙈💖
Thanks for the vid, wont have dining plan for first time in years next visit so looking for nice off site places.
Thanks for watching Mark 😊 Theres sooo many good places around i-drive. We cant wait to go back and try new places. Hope you enjoy!
Love outback, never had a bad meal there yet.
It was our first time but definitely not our last. Such a good meal 😍
Love your videos so much, such a lovely family and Jimmy is such a cutie xx
Thank you so much Leah 💖 We really enjoy making them together x
You really need to get Jimmy to Hollywood to be discovered. He is such a character!
Thanks Sherri - He totally cracks me up 😂 I hope he keeps his funny personality 💖
Chilis is my favourite, love the egg rolls
Best thing on the menu Phillip 👌👍
yes jimmy my man!!!! pretzel dogs!!! my fave - the ones at auntie annes in the airport are normally my last thing I eat on a trip. LOVE longhorns. my favourite place in Florida. haven't done outback yet as always go back to longhorns. Millers is also the best! such good value.
have you tried chuys? they do a happy hour which I love. its really cool inside and they serve FREE unlimited nachos when you get a drink and you help yourself. They are served in the back of a Cadillac! the cocktails are yum too!
I really need to try Cheesecake Factory after seeing this. looks really good! great vlog!
Hi Kirsty! Not tried Chuys but seen it around, and free nachos sounds amazing 😍 Love going places off a recommendation more than anything else. I'm sure Jimmy would love Auntie Anne's too by the sound of it 😁💖
What a future star Jimmy is on camera!!
Thank you 🙂
Great video. What would you recommend the do’s and dont’s for a first time visit to Orlando?
Thank you. The main thing I would say is make sure you do your planning particularly if you are visiting Disney. Its not a holiday where you can wing it. For example, if there are restaraunts that you want to eat at make a note of them and in the case of Disney you can book them 180 days in advance and for places like Be our Guest you will need to do that to have a chance of getting a table 👍
Thank you very much. Will do. Keep the videos coming 👍👍👍
Love your videos keep up the good work we are thinking about staying at the enclave suites for our Florida holiday next year do you recommend this hotel we normally stay at the Rosen inn international we love this location on I drive
Thanks Derek 😊 We had booked the most basic studio room - and it was basic with noisy air con but for what we paid we thought it was cracking! Free continental breakfast each day too, if you book through virgin holidays it's free hot breakfast (which was really good!). Free bus to Universal and SeaWorld. Every room has a balcony. We loved the location and would stay there again - but probably would upgrade to a superior room.
Excellent videos and really informative. We are staying in Cabana Bay in December 2019 and when we go back in Nov 2020 we fancied International Drive so these videos have been really helpful. Do you always use Lyft/Uber for getting to the parks/Disney Springs etc and do you get about on I-Drive on foot as well ?
Thanks Derek & pleased that you have found the vlogs useful. We used to use regular taxis (Mears) and the I Trolley but on this last trip we used Lyft daily and it was brilliant. Very reliable and reasonanble prices. This is what we will always do going forward. We like a stroll on I Drive too but if its any more than 15-20 minutes we would use Lyft. Have a great time when you go back next year 👍👍👍
I can’t wait to go back to chilis now I’m November we have been craving it since last June 🇺🇸 we will give millers a try too as them zinger fries look delicious 😋 (highly recommend it) x
Chilis is amazing! We were really disappointed with the to-go though. Millers was our biggest suprise of the holiday, couldn't fault any part of it. Not long til you're back there now 💖😊
New subbie - this video was really helpful 🤗 xx
Thannks Leona, glad you found it helpful 💖 x
Very helpful thanks guys x
Cheers Rob 👍
Next time you go to the Cheesecake Factory I’d HIGHLY recommend ;) the pasta da Vinci.
It has Sautéed Chicken, Mushrooms and
Onions in a Delicious Madeira Wine Sauce Tossed with Penne Pasta and Parmesan. I get it every single time and if my husband decides to get something else he always regrets it and wants some of mine lol.
That sounds like something I'd 100% order - going to screen shot this to remind myself. The menu is so big you miss some gems 👍🏻💖
Your review videos are always so well done.👏👏. If u don’t mind my asking, when are u back in Florida?
Thank you so much 😊 We are back 31st August for two weeks at Endless Summer - cant wait! 💖
The Despicable Three hope u have a wonderful time .... look forward to watching the vlogs
Really enjoyed the vlog... you’ve made me really hungry though 💕💕
Sorry Lisa 🙈 It was torture to edit Haha 💖
If you find yourself back at BJ's you've got to try the Pazzokis!! That's the best thing on their menu!!!
Hi Kenzie - will have to give them a try on a future trip. Thanks for the tip 😊
Got to love a food video haha
Thanks Mike! It's our most favourite subject Haha 💖
Hi guys, I am going to orlando for the first time in April. Do we need to book for lunch/dinner and do you give tips in cash?
Hi Lisa, we always tend to go for early lunches (11:30) or early dinners (16:30/17:00) and that has worked well for us in the past but it does seem like places are a lot busier now so we have actually booked a couple of reservations online for our trip next month. We always tip in cash as you know that it is going directly to the person waiting your table. I hope you have a fantastic time out there and love it as much as we do. If you have any other questions please don't hesitate to drop us an email and I'll be happy to help wherever I can 🙂
@@TD3Vlogs Great, thanks so
much!
I love all your videos, getting me ready for my universal holiday 😍 6 weeks to go! I noticed on your videos you show the tipping on the receipts, we are on abit of a budget 😬 and I saw allot of them tips are higher then I give in the uk, do you have to tip every time you eat out somewhere? And can you choose how much you want to tip? Like $3/$4? I know it sounds stingy but I’m on a tight budget 😬 x
Hi Jess. The waiting staff in US restaraunts get a ridiculously low rate of basic pay and rely on their tips hence why the service is generally so attentive and good. If you were to tip anything less than 15% then that would indicate that you have not been satisfied with the service. For good service (nearly always) we usually tip 20-22%. In buffet restaraunts we would leave $5ish and in quick service restaraunts there is no need to tip. Hope this helps & that you have a lovely time 😊
I need to eat at Cheesecake Factory mmmmm. Another fab video
One question
I noticed the 3 or 4 tip options on the receipts . How do you go about tipping ???
Hi there 👋 Cheesecake Factory is amazing isnt it - with the tip options I think of it as poor service 15%, standard is 18%, Good service 20%. Theres no hard and fast rules how much you do tip - we'd always do the 18-20% and try to make it to a round number if that makes sense 💖
Thank you
Hey.. I have been watching all your orlando videos and they are fab. Im planning a trip for me and my family never been before!! Was wondering if you could reccomend some good places to stay that are not on site. But good for a family with a child aged 8. I would really appreciate that. X
Hi Stacey. We love staying on or near International drive. Would you consider staying on site at Universal? I only ask becuase there seem to be good deals for Cabana bay and everyone raves aboit it and they have bowling and a lazy river of their own so it sounds amazing for kids (we are booked there for Aug but haven't stayed before)
@@TD3Vlogs do tui do this?? I have been looking at seven springs dockside. I think thats what it's called. I'm just worried because we won't be driving so need to be able to sort of get everywhere.. 😩 I'm struggling to get holkday up from Manchester.. I cany wait to try some.of the food places you have put in your vlogs x
They do 😊 Do you mean Endless Summer Dockside (another Universal hotel). We stayed at the sister hotel (Surfside) and it was fab plus free buses to Universal and Volcano bay. You are on I Drive too which is super handy 👍
@@TD3Vlogs yes that's the hotel. It looks lovely. Also could you reccomend were to get park tickets from please x
We have used AttractionTickets.com & Floridatix before and both were very good 👍
Chillies is my family's favorite place to eat and we also stay at the enclave Suites when we go to America
Its great isn't it Emma 🌶 We will stick to eating in the restaraunt now though as the 'To Go' wasn't the best. Thanks for watching
Love your vids!!!!
Thanks a lot, appreciate that 👍
Going to orlando next month, got any advice on dining?
Have a great time. We love Margaritaville and Kobe amongst others
Cheesecake Factory millennia isn’t it’s only location at least in central Florida. There is another at the Winter park village near the movie theater. Same menu just its locals mostly in that area. Do not go anywhere near Ruth Chris steakhouse as it’s way too expensive for how little you get plus you pay for each side separate and it’s just not worth it. If you want to spend on a steak house go to Bonefish located in heathrow, the do a very good prime rib, the combo with a Madagascar shrimp is really good just be prepared as that shrimp is the size of a small lobster also they don’t have a kids menu but it’s a good date night restaurant. Avoid Bonefish on a Friday as it’s packed with people unwinding from work.
Ooo thanks Andy. I'm sure I've been Bomefish advertised on top of Taxis before and always wondered what it was like 👍🏻
The Despicable Three worth the money, just don’t bring jimmy. And be prepared to spend about a hundred dollars on food but hey it’s worth it plus if you get the jacket potato aka baked potato they dress the whole thing for you table-side. Every entree is a side and a salad no soup unless you specify it. Bonefish has two major things that set it apart from other steakhouses, one is their open kitchen with a real wood fire grill underneath which they put right in the front of the restaurant and you actually feel the heat coming from it , next is their dry age steaks roughly 30 to 60 days depending on what cut you want and which they display in the front in an aging fridge so it’s ok I want that kind of deal. They also do very good seafood. Their food is usually very locally sourced so that steak was probably raised near Gainesville, Florida and the seafood likely came from a fishing area just offshore Florida except the farm raised Madagascar shrimp, basically if it can pulled from the ground or fished or whatever it likely came from Florida. It’s really worth the money especially if you can eat the local products Florida provides.on the menu on the top page it actually lists out who provides what to the restaurant and where they are located. Besides you two need a date night so you can just enjoy each other. Oh and don’t wear shorts to Bonefish wear jeans and a t-shirt for some reason the restaurant doesn’t like shorts.
Been watching your vids this weekend, into make up for not flying to Orlando next Saturday 😢 and prepping for a trip to stay at Universal in October. Heard you mention a few times you love Blackpool and that’s where we live. Check out our vlogs. We have some Florida and Disney vlogs up too and plan to do more in the future.
Absolutely love Blackpool, it must be incredible having all that on your doorstep 👌😎
So when I you going back to Florida we are going back in May / June 3 weeks
Hi Bev - February all being well 🤞
first off if you go to Orlando you go to the Golden Corral every single time there is one on Sand Lake Road opposite the big McDonald's steak chicken shrimp anything you want salad and they got everything in there and it's a buffet you can eat as much as you like for about $15 restaurants you pointed out of rubbish they are for tourists I've been to I drive more times than I can remember another place to go is Arby's unbelievable beef I got one on Orange Blossom Trail just down from the Florida Mall going towards Kissimmee you can get the bus 111 from the Florida Mall and the number 107 from the Florida Mall 2 restaurants I've recommended are the best in Orlando if on a budget if you want to waste money you can pick the two that you picked out
We have eaten at Golden Corral but found it distinctly average to be honest. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍
@@TD3Vlogs thank you for getting back to me tell me where in Orlando that you can get better food than at the golden Corral especially for the prices they charge
Love to go Orlando....... quick question what is the stuff in the mash at outback
I think it's cheese and possibly spring onion... and LOTS of cream 🤤😍
Loved the video. Great to have honest views. We eat at Soup plantation a lot. Maybe you would like to check out the website. Can I ask how you feel about the suggested gratuities?
Thanks Elaine - I've not heard if soup plantation. With the gratuities of course it's more than we'd tip in the UK but we respect the culture in the USA. We tend to go for the 18-20% mark as on the suggested. It's just something to factor in when pricing up the meals. 👍🏻
Loved Miller's ate three times in june..
It's so good isnt it! I think we will definitely be back next month. Probably the best value out of all of them 👌
Please feel free post in our fb group - facebook.com/groups/idriveorlando - ill make you admin
Cool, will hop on over & join the group now 👍
Love the Cheesecakes from the Cheesecake Factory but don't care for the food, I know I know we're weird.
I wasn't going to say it... but... 😉
Millers in 2019 was a far better place than Millers in 2022. So disappointed with it this year. Longhorns as good as ever.
Ah really? That's such a shame but it seems like a few places have gone down the pan. I have heard a few horror stories about Chilis too. Glad to hear Longhorn are still turning out good food. We were very impressed with Cheddars Scratch Kitchen earlier this year and would definitely recommend it if you haven't eaten there before 👍
I’m the 1 person that hates Cheesecake factory😂😂😂. I’m not sure if Orlando has Grand lux but you have to try it. It’s owned by the same company as Cheesecake Factory but better
No way!!! Haha yes I think you are the first I've come across 🙈 Oo not heard of Grand Lux but will certainly give it a google, thankyou 👌💖
