A "NOT SO ORDINARY ADVENTURE" as it turned out! I'm just glad you were both safe been watching the news over here in the UK and THE LAST TIME I saw devastation on the scale the Ian brought to Florida was when Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans (made worse by the levys breaching) I'm sure eventually Florida and Floridians will recover they are resilient! R.I.P to those that lost their lives in Florida to this hurricane and my thoughts and prayers go out from over the Atlantic in the UK to their families and friends at such a devastating time 😢
As a Floridian I think you for your comment❤ we truly are resilient. We made it through Andrew as a category five in 1987 I believe will make it through this as well. And when the next hurricane comes we’ll make it through that one too. But it always feels good to know we have prayers From people around the world prayers are powerful thing.
One thing Disney did which is very smart is that they built Disney World knowing it was in hurricane country. So the buildings are built to withstand these storms. Thank you for the update! So glad you all are okay.
I’m so moved by how much Disney and their wonderful CMs went out of their way to make all their guest comfortable and safe! Bravo Disney, wow!! Thanks for sharing this❤
They deserve much praise!
Orlando is never at risk... it's so far inland all they get is storm drain floods... now us, here in ft myers, we really got it.
Travelling from Australia and then caught up in Hurricane Irma Disney were amazing to us after our Disney cruise was cancelled extending our stay . A huge branch crashed into the resort room door and a Disney emergency crew were straight onto it we can't speak more highly of all the amazing cast members . They made our adventure memorable and our sons experience magical even in a Hurricane💙💙💙 Our hearts go out to everyone throughout Florida and the East coast ..
Glad to hear despite everything you had a memorable experience on this trip
We also experienced Hurricane Irma. Coming from NZ it was quite the experience. We were staying at Universal's Cabana Bay at the time and they also did a fantastic job looking after guests. We were amazed at how quickly the parks opened up again afterwards too.
We went on to stay at Cabana Bay too and had an amazing time we count ourselves incredibly lucky @@NZTiberius2023
This continues to be one of my favorite RUclips channels. Peter and Kitra just seem like genuinely nice people. I live in Daytona Beach and my surrounding neighborhoods were flooded pretty bad. I hope every one in Florida stays safe and thank you Ordinary Adventures for the content through these rough times.
Thanks nick glad are ok!
Glad you both are safe❤! The cast members are truly the best. Have a great time at Epcot 40!
Thanks guys! See you soon!
New fan here! I was also taking a Disney vacation when hurricane Ian hit and I was very impressed with how Disney handled everything. My family has never experienced a hurricane so we were a bit nervous but we felt very safe at our resort (Pop Century Resort). We actually planned this vacation to celebrate my nephew's birthday so I really appreciated the cast members and characters for putting on dance parties, trivia, games, and sing alongs for the kiddos. They also provided us with flashlights, batteries, and some other useful items to prepare for the hurricane. My family and I were extremely thankful for their service.
Disney really handled it right
I totally agree, Gideons is a life essential for every situation, a must-have!! Make pizza with the english muffins. This video is what sets you apart from others, you are taking to time to show what this hurricane situation is, from your point of view to the cast members, guests and resort. Thank you for documenting this event and showing what great historian you are.
Awwww thanks!
Can’t believe you guys ended up in Florida exactly when Ian came through. I was looking for this kind of content from Disney vloggers. I was curious to see how Disney handled hurricanes. Thanks for posting this. Glad you all came through it unscathed. I feel so badly for those that have lost everything down south. Scary times we are living in with climate change. More of these events will continue to happen. ☹️ good that you posted a link to help.
Come back to California. We miss you! We only have droughts, fires and earthquakes here!
Adam the woo stayed at the Contemporary, he has an interesting video on this too!
Try Adam the woo he was at Disney contemporary hotel through the hurricane😊 He has three videos before during and after of the storm they were quite fun
Lillian you have a beautiful state with California but I’ll take my hurricanes where I have a week or more notice than your earthquakes that happen spontaneously with no warning😂😂
Yeah we are used to the droughts fires and earthquakes so this was a very different experience for us
@@FairyChild_For_Freedom-Justice yeah. But the last really big earthquake that impacted me personally was 23 years ago. Those hurricanes are becoming more frequent and ferocious. That’s much more scary to me.
We stayed at Saratoga Springs on our last visit and everyone was great. Kudos for the locals showing up to take care of everyone. A lot of people think, "Just stay home and ride it out..." but these folks were worried about you. I hope the cast member's homes were all ok.
I hope so too
Glad you guys are safe! Kitra, your concern for the little lizards was so sweet! And Peter we need more videos with you doing magic!!
🦎
so glad y'all are safe. i honestly loved this raw style of vlogging. it was like hangin' with some good friends. love your content so much and so great to see the mouse vibes!
🙌
Thank you for the update and for showing how Disney handles such a horrible situation, while being respectful. I have watched a few other vlogs that were pretty tone deaf, so it was nice to see your experience through a sympathetic lens. One of the many reasons I love your channel!!
Thank you for sharing your experiences! This was one of those (hopefully) once in a lifetime situations that you will have stories about for years. Kudos to the Disney cast members for working so hard to keep the spirit of the Disney experience alive for everyone, but especially the kids!
Yeah I doubt we’ll ever be in this situation again. It was an interesting week for sure
Very Nice Sweet Fun Seeing Pluto Goofy & Chip & Dale Entertaining The Guest’s The Best Way They Could Given The Circumstances 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
💕
Thank you for the update! I’m planning on coming down next week to see my grandma and spend some time at the resorts. What a challenge that must be for the cast members to stay positive when they are surely concerned about their own homes and families, but glad to see all the kids having fun.
So happy to know you ALL are safe! ❤️ Thank you so much for the update! 🤗
Thanks 🙏
Thank you so much for sharing this video!! So happy you all are safe!! As much the hurricane is scary, my hubby and I find your video still entertaining and informative. 🤗
Glad you all were able to get provisions and were safe! And glad to see you all take care of each other and hunker down together. Thanks for sharing your experience!
Thank you for sharing your experience, especially loved seeing the Cast Members bring magic to everyone in such a difficult situation. Enjoyed this video!
I appreciate seeing what this was like for everyone who traveled there for vacation and was stuck in the hurricane. Thank you so much for taking us along on this unexpected adventure and so glad y’all made it through okay!! ❤
❤️
This might be my favorite video of yours. Just seeing you all together, taking care of each other and sharing the experience, it was very humanizing! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks Erica
@@OrdinaryAdventures you are very welcome!🤗
So happy you are safe, thanks for sharing and being so good to all your Floridan friends and being helpful to them. Safe travels going forward and have fun
Thank you guys for the update and I'm glad you're ok! Salute to Kitra and Peterr for always making the best out of any situation!!
This is not what you intended but probably one of the most unique and interesting Adventures you’ve ever documented.
Thanks
Sorry for your bad timing. Hope you are able to have a good time despite the closure. It was cool that you shared your weather adventure with us. My heart goes out to everyone affected by the storm.
Peter, I don't know how long ago you lived in New England but you must have witnessed worse storms than that. 😁I live in central Massachusetts and we have gotten some horrible storms over the years. The Blizzard of 78. Hurricane Bob, Hurricane Gloria. The Blizzard of 93. In 2008 we had a microburst hit the cemetery I work in and we closed for four days to pick up all the downed limbs and trees. The same year, we had a devastating ice storm in central Mass. At my house, we lost power for 14 days. Half the roads in my town were shut down for days until the National Guard came in to clear the debris out of the roads so they were drivable. Then we had the freak 2010 October snow storm. A lot of trees still had leaves on them so they held more snow. The damage was almost as bad as the ice storm two years earlier. Then the EF3 tornado in 2011 that started in Springfield and carved a path across the state all the way to Charlton. That winter, after a snowfall, a satellite took a picture of the tornado's path and it looked like a new highway going across the state.
Stay safe. Hope you have a good time on the rest of your trip. ☺
Thank you for showing your point of view from the storm. Glad all of you are safe and sound!
Thanks Shell
Thanks for sharing.
Glad you remained safe. Prayers for all those affected. 🙏
-Aimee
what a once-in-a-lifetime experience though! glad you are safe and could share this to us!
Was an interesting experience for sure
We’re so glad you two stayed safe!
Thanks 🙏
We drove down from Michigan for 2 weeks, and arrived the day before you. Walmart was cleaned out as well. Cast members and the whole Orlando area did a fantastic job of working through Ian. The one thing we didn’t expect was Basically everything was a “walk on” for the next week because of the cancellations. No lines, no wait times, no crowd.
Glad you were safe
Glad everyone is safe! Thank you for taking the time to show us this and hope your enjoying the rest of your trip!!
Thanks
This is the kind of content I’d love to see more from you guys. Excellent work!!
👍
I'm really sad and bummed out by the hurricane off course but at the same time I'm really glad we finally get to see this perspective of it. It's wonderfull to see how the cast members handeld it and I'm glad you all got out safe!
We are staying safe!
"Should we turn around or go the other way?" Giving a Bugs Life vibes 😂
😂
Thank you for sharing it. It was good to see how they kept peoples spirits up. During the stirm.
I was wondering if anyone booked a Disney trip during this time, and it turned out it was you guys. Thank you for sharing your experience and Thank God you were ok and made the best of this situation. (Extra love to the cast members for making magic for the guest.)
Ha lots of people did to be there for Epcots 40th anniversary
Are you kidding how could you think we would not be interested in this. You gave us a Birdseye view and it was great. You guys are always sharing such wonderful details of your lives thank you🥰
Thanks Debbie.
I'm glad you guys were safe and not harmed in any way. Thank you for sharing this experience with your fans
Thanks Alan we are thankful too
Thank you for trusting us with this adventure! I was supposed to go to the parks for the first time this past week since 2019 after moving down here at the end of August. Very lucky to be in the pompano beach/ft lauderdale area, so I was unaffected, but devastated to watch my now felllow neighbors lifes get swept up by a storm. All my love to you both, and all my warm fuzzies. Cannot wait to watch and leave six million comments as usual. Here's to many more adventures, and now, hopefully, getting the chance to bump into yall and say thank you IRL
Hey guys, we’re on the east coast of FL about an hour from Disney and boy we got hit hard. Been out of power for 5 days. Lots of damage and flooding my nieces house was destroyed. Worst hurricane in 30 years. Appreciate you doing this respectfully and not live streaming for superchats like some others did during the storm. Good to see how it was in Orlando. Lot different.
We are so sorry to hear that! We’ve heard from a lot of people who have lost a lot. The part of Orlando we were in obviously didn’t get hit as hard. We tried our best to show the situation respectfully without sensationalism so that people from afar could experience it from our point of view. The thing that surprised me the most was the castmembers coming together.
@@OrdinaryAdventures yes I agree that must have been a great experience for people who had to be there on vacation as well! And yes the chameleons and lizards love the rain! Lol I have a couple in my house right now running around trying to get out
As a Floridian who had to evacuate and stayed at Disney, it’s interesting to see people calm at Disney to be honest. A lot of us were so worried about our homes while at Disney during Ian. It made me forget that Disney is supposed to make you smile till I saw this video.
People were definitely nervous here too but Disney was doing their best to keep everyone in best spirits. I’m sorry to hear you were in danger and hope your home is okay!
Hope your home was all ok x
So glad you’re all safe! But what fun to be held up in the hotel room with great friends to pass the time. ❤️ Disney did such an awesome job taking care of resort guests during the storm, kudos to them!! Sending prayers to those impacted by hurricane Ian! Stay safe Peter and Kitra! Looking forward to your WDW vlogs!
Glad all you guys are ok, thanks for sharing your experience.. ❤️
Thanks
Thank you for the update, guys. It gives me peace of mind. My cousin is a cast member at WDW and I was worried for her safety. 💜
Hope she is okay
@@OrdinaryAdventures thank you 💜 I haven’t heard from her so I’m gonna assume she’s okay?
I’m sure she is but you should definitely message her
@@OrdinaryAdventures just messaged her! She said they are up and running again and her apartment didn’t lose power, thank god 🥰
This is so real! I love your videos please stay safe lots of love!
We are, thanks
LOVED this vlog! You handled coverage of circumstances well while sympathizing with those really impacted. Also loved seeing JustAskDanny with you! Hope you get to enjoy parks Friday onward♥️
Thank you 🙏
I'm so glad you're safe! My heart is breaking for Florida! 💖
At least you weren’t in Hawaii when hurricane iniki hit. They were filming Jurassic Park during hurricane Iniki
I remember hearing about that
Most stressful Ordinary Adventure ever! Glad you all are safe!
We are good, thank you
I'd think the broken leg would win the Most Stressful prize!
Thanks for sharing! Glad you guys are safe and praying for all those affected 🙏🏻
Thanks Emily
I got so lucky with planning as my vacay at Disney World was the week before! I actually wanted to push it back by one week, glad I didn’t!
So sad seeing all the damage done. And cool to see the cast members try to be bring some joy. Y’all stay safe.
Glad you're both okay as well as your friends. I love how you were all debating what to put back at the supermarket when most people would have been going crazy grabbing everything in sight! Loved the characters playing games!
Ha we didn’t want to overbuy anything and take food options away from other people
@@OrdinaryAdventures That proves as always you're good people!
I was also at SSR during the Hurricane. The cast members were all fabulous! I’ve seen so many disheartening stories about guests lately but encountered only extremely friendly and courteous guests that week. It was wonderful to see everyone come together. My heart goes out to those on the coast snd those who were affected.
Totally
My wife and I were there in WDW for hurricane Irma a few years ago. Our experience was very similar to yours.
Disney did an incredible job taking care of us. The day before the hurricane we had a 1/2 day in Epcot before they closed early. When we got back to the room Disney had dropped off food in our room free of charge. Absolutely amazing cast members!!!
We are so glad you are o.k.
Glad you both are safe! Thank you for sharing this vlog!
Thanks Karl
Hurricane Ian was really bad for me. This is gonna be a hard time for Florida for sure.
Same here. Sending good vibes your way!
I’m so sorry
I’m so sorry
@@OrdinaryAdventures Thank you!
Personally i enjoy y'alls vlog type vids like this.. just watched one the other day y'all made awhile back and I enjoyed it..
Thank you 🙏
I like how Peter is doing the hard stuff like going outside during the storm cuz we all know Kitra would find a way to fall and hurt herself 🤣🤣🤣
Ha that’s exactly why she didn’t want to go outside, she was afraid of slipping
Glad you were all safe. As they say make the best out of a bad situation. The CMs at Disney are so amazing.
I’ve stayed at the Saratoga Springs resort and loved the proximity to Disney Springs.
OMG!!! LOL!!! I love watching people who have never been to Florida during a hurricane deal with my madness every year during the storm season!! LMAO!!! Love you guys, and you did great. Sorry about everything being gone, but I guarantee those shelves were empty long before you got there. We stocked up at the house before Ian at least 10 days before the storm was even close.
Love the video! Thank you for taking us along! Love you guys!
Thanks Hannah
I loved this vlog! Thank you for making a video of your experience!
Thanks for watching
Glad you all are safe. Thanks for sharing this video. 💜
🙏
We had so much flooding in our area and we are in East Orlando. It was the worst I’ve seen in 30 years of living here. :( we lost power for three days. There are still roads and areas near us that are damaged or dealing with water. Glad you guys were somewhere safe during the storm!
Damn I’m so sorry to hear that and I hope things get back to normal soon!
@@OrdinaryAdventures Getting there… Nowhere near as bad as what they’ve got going on in Fort Myers. Bonus, our kiddos are finally going back to school tomorrow so yay 😂
I love your vlogs, I would like to see more of them posted! It's a great way to get to know you both from a distance. I'm glad that you were kept safe, and were able to spend time with some fun friends.
Thanks
Great Video... Thank you for sharing. I have been through a couple of Hurricanes and it can be very intense. Safe Travels!!!
Thanks for bringing out this kind of content. It’s nice to see how Disney always makes things magical
Thanks for watching
Hey! I was in that same Target at the same time you were! I passed by Peter going down one aisle but didn't say hi, since we were both on the same mission to get supplies and get back to our resort before the weather got worse. Glad you were safe.
Should’ve said hi!
This is one of the best videos. Loved how you hung with other of the good vlogs
Thank you for sharing your not ordinary adventurer. I used to live in St. Croix USVI and went through two cat 5 hurricanes in 2017. Glad you are all safe.
Please stay safe and thank you for posting 🙏🏻
🙏
Y'all are lucky to be in the middle of Florida. No storm surge. You got wind and rain. I've been through a lot of hurricanes. Starting in the1950s with Hurricane Donna. Then Gracie, Opal, Irma, actually, Opal came through Atlanta, turned around and came BACK thru! My granddaughter was being born the day Irma came through. Power out everywhere, trees down blocking roads, we had a devil of a time getting to the hospital. The wind on the bridges lifted my Subaru Outback right off its tires! So I am well aware of the danger.
Yeah we didn’t get hit hard in Orlando. I can’t imagine what it’s like to be in the storm surge.
Very nice video. Beautiful resort. It was nice to see your experience with the storm. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Karen!
So wonderful to see that you guys are safe during the hurricane and able to spend time with friends.
It was great spending time with friends, I think we got to have more quality time than if the parks were open
So glad to see that the storm didn't hit so bad where you were and glad to see that you managed to get a good vlog out of the situation 🙏👍
Thanks Mike
I'm LOVING this vlog... So happy to see this collaboration 🖤
🙌
Wow, what an adventure. All 3 of my kids were born in South FL and it was hard enough for residents to prepare, feel so sorry for unsuspecting tourists. You guys did a good job!
Thank you for sharing your experience.
Thanks for watching
I was stuck in Caribbean Beach during a hurricane in 95 and Disney took great care of us, I’ll never forget it. Great video as ever, really brought back memories!
👍
Man you guys, we're really enjoying this video! It takes us back to our honeymoon roadtrip. Flew to New Orleans and drove up to Virginia with a hurricane on our tails, such an exciting and memorable time!!! Glad you guys are ok!!
I’m from the UK and so glad you are safe guys, love watching your videos, and very interesting listening to you all explaining the hurricane step by step, love to you all ❤️❤️
Thanks Tina
So glade you guys are safe thank you guys so much for this video ❤
Thanks for watching
Happy to see you guys safe…..loved the video thanks❤️❤️❤️
So glad all of you are safe! I honestly really enjoyed the vlog style of video as well! Stay safe out there guys, it even got crazy in NC
Thanks Hunter
I loved this so much ♥️ I’m so glad you’re ok and you made it a good time anyway😊 Love to you!
❤️
Thank you for sharing, hope you all stay safe.
We are thanks
Thanks for documenting this in such a respectful way.
👍 thanks for saying this
Glad you both are safe. It was interesting to see your perspective, you seemed to make the best out of a scary situation. Looking forward to the Epcot video!
🙏
I am so glad that you guys are safe. Take care of yourselves. Have a great trip
Thank you
Thank you for sharing this adventure. The Disney cast are great! Glad you guys were safe! It was interesting getting to see a little behind the scenes.
The cast members are the best
So this was an Extraordinary "Ordinary Adventure"! 🙂 Thanks for posting this!
Thanks for watching
Great little insight, keep up the amazing work ❤
Thanks
I absolutely loved this Video guys. Thanks for vlogging your experience.
Thanks Cameron
@@OrdinaryAdventures Kitra, you are on fire with responses. You really make it so special to comment on your videos.
❤️
Thank you for sharing so much of your experience. We were staying pretty close to where you were but had much less flooding and debris. We were also on the ground floor so it was amazing to see your footage from an upper level and from the water across from DS. We too feel fortunate to have made it through the experience without issue.
I would have been more scared being on the first floor!
@@OrdinaryAdventures we knew we were a good foot above parking lot level, so not worried about flooding. Just the awful wind!
Best video so far, you guys are amazing people. ❤️
Thanks Daniel
20:48…Peter, this was actually VERY interesting! You did a great job of pacing this experience out, and I am very glad it did not seem as unnerving to you both as it may have been to some of us.
Thanks Ed!
Thank you for sharing this video shout out to the cast members. Just found out they reopen the airport at Orlando and I will be flying out Saturday morning. Hope you’re able to enjoy the parks before you head back. I cannot wait to get to Epcot. enjoy the rest of your ordinary adventure.❤
Thanks you guys for documenting this! Made an awesome vid
Thanks Jacob
thanks for sharing this. Very interesting adventure to have to go through. Im glad you were not as affected as other residents were - and I pray those folks (especially in the southwest of Florida) get services and clean up efforts started very soon.
Same
