Love these type of videos Lee. Great insight to what’s on International Drive. It might not be one of the glamorous places in the world but it still looks a fantastic pub/bar crawl!
Great video Lee ! Have to agree I’m fascinated by abandoned hotels , hospitals and even pubs ! So many pubs have shut in England now and I always say people will have meet in there and be married and kids now .
So many memories. My last visit was September 2005, so much has changed. Icon Park was The Mercado, used to live going there at night. Booked for September 2023, looking forward to seeing old and new. Solo trip time to make new memories. Thanks for the vlog. Hey I didn't know you lived in Mansfield, me too 😂
Miss wet n wild on international drive, it was perfect for those days after you were shattered from doing the theme parks and need to recoup. Stumble out of a motel and into w&w. Once they closed that it was never the same again. Volcano Bay is epic but its like you liking the old Irish bar over the new trendy places. Must be an age thing and the yearning for days of olde😂
Love this vlog happy memories for me before we lost mum❤ mum and dad and sister love going there for holidays as well as tenerife happy times 😊 But it amazing that it not changed that much like going back in time ⏱its the weather am loving seeing☀️🇺🇲 bring on summer in England ☀️😊I love old hotels and building like that as well ❤great vlog Lee 🇺🇲👍x
We love the Hyatt Regency and the Pointe Orlando area. Walked from there to the International Premium Outlets in December (in the heat) so did your journey in reverse.
My husband and I went to Ripleys Believe it or Not and honestly walking up to it we were actually walking sideways...such a strange feeling. Loved it tho. X
Thanks for this Lee! Brought back memories of past trips to Orlando! I remember staying on I Drive for a short time, then mainly in Kissimmee, the rest. I remember along the (better) part of I Drive you would see pedestrians walking, but mainly everyone went by car. First time I went to Florida I fell in love with the place, and visiting places like Disney and Universal, wow, what a fantastic experience, especially for the young ones. Shame Wet n Wild shut down and remember many a meal at Ponderosa, especially enjoying the buffet brekkies. Anyone else go to Gatorland, St. Petes, Busch Gardens, Sea World, Kennedy Space Centre?😄 The first trip we even drove down to the Keys, what a wonderful place Key West was to stay in. All in all the trips there were magical, and so much fun! Glad we had the opportunity to do it while we could. Cheers Lee 🙂
Really enjoyed this one Mac, as I have said before my chance for a little tourism (escapism) thanks for the Blackpool nod ;-) I see what ya mean lol. I have always loved and been fascinated with everything about America, I have just never been. One of my favorites of the trip, you're living my dream dude. 😄
Alrate me duck. Just come across your videos as I'm prepping for a trip in June that was originally booked in 2019 before Covid came along. Good content and you won me over as a subscriber as soon as you said you're from Mansfield 😂
Looks like you missed out Hash House a go go further up. Best restaurant on I drive. Absolutely love it. Remember staying in the Rosen across from wet n wild (RIP) the first time we went to Orlando. It was a bit rough back then but still managed to fall in love with the place. The derelict place used to be an all day buffet, can't remember the name of it but it went bust years ago. Has had a few different things since then but none have lasted. Great memories MM. Hopefully getting back soon to make some new ones.
Sorry, name of the place was really annoying me. 😄 Ponderosa Steak House. They did a great breakfast buffet. I'm not 100% that's the derelict place though. May have been the old tilted kilt. By the way, Perkins do a great breakfast if you can get there. Bakery stuff is 🤗
Cheers Lee. These are my favourite type of vlog. Remind me of the early Tenerife vlogs, walking up and down the front in Tenerife. Also the Gran Canaria ones. Hopefully more to come. 👍
It's nostalgia love. I so love old buildings and history. It's lovely to have you showing us around. It looks a lovely place there. I think you deserve a pint of beer to refresh yourself xxx
Hahaha lee That was your helicopter getting back to your hotel lol Brilliant vlog lee really enjoyed it so informative Bet the beer tasted great after that hike!!!!! Cheers mate😊😊🍻🍻
I love those kind of buildings as well Lee, you ever thought about exploring abandoned buildings or abandoned sites in general? Would make a good series.
Awww, thanks for the memories Lee! Was here for the first time in 2012, ate at loads of places that you’ve shown on here! Perkins Bakery was fantastic then, Apple & Cinnamon muffins were the bomb! Like you, we fell in love with the US and have been over loads of times and always love it! Can’t wait to come back! More of this please, a great trip down memory lane! Cheers!👍😊🏴🇺🇸
Well then Lee …. What a great walk down memory lane that was for us. Stayed on I Drive many times in early 90’s courtesy of ( now defunct ) companies such as Freddie Laker and Travel City. Probably stayed in that now derelict motel ! As you said it was such a novelty to watch daytime Tv . I can remember being excited at watching Bonanza at 7:30 in the morning ! When all we had was 3 channels . Top end of IDrive ( where Wet n Wild was ) there is place called Visitors Circle - great musical instrument dealer there and next door a gun and rifle range you could visit and use live ammunition ! Perkins great for bakery and home style food. Chillis was good too but who knows these days Keep up the great work , get out your factor 50 and a hat 👍🏻🇺🇸🍔 Howard
Great memories for me as I did 1990 to 2005 every year in florida and especially international drive and kissiminee...thanks Lee it was great to see all the places but it looks a lot more quiet than when I went.
Excellent stream Lee. I was surprised to see empty abandoned businesses in Florida. I cannot believe the weather. Snow in NYC yesterday, yet glorious sunshine in Florida 👍🏻👍🏻😁
Enjoyed this one it brings back memories of walking down international Drive and going into the Titanic experience, hope I get the chance to visit Florida again as it is a wonderful place. Had a few breakfasts in Denny’s really good.
The full English in the world cafe looked pretty decent. So did the Irish bar. It was like being “home from home”. Blackpool but with proper sunshine and palm tree’s!!😂. It’s fantastic you got to experience America as a young man Mc. You can clearly see your appreciation for those times and your present excitement for all things USA. It’s infectious!! I’m adamant that your best work on this channel has been done in America. Now I understand why it brings out the best in you!!👌. Great to see you out and about on a walking tour. You don’t see many Americans on walkabout though😂?? Again this vlog brings something “a little different and out of the box”. The BJ’s line was straight out the “Martin Joke book”. You should have many more followers as far as I am concerned. These videos are a breath of fresh air in what are troubled times my friend. You bring a much needed smile to all your subscribers and trust me it makes a difference. Thank you.x
Great vlog Lee. I think people revisit places hoping to recapture how they were years ago (me included). Somehow never works out as time moves on and things change, often not for the better. Looks a little like it's stuck in the '80s, a bit run down but nowhere near as run down as Blackpool. No history there, something Brits take for granted, a bit soulless.
We first went to Florida (from the UK) in 1986 and International drive even then was like walking though Benidorm and it has not improved. We have been back many times, last time 4 years ago, we had a villa near the parks but we went to I drive to see if it had changed but apart from the upper end where the conv center is driving down to the other end and it is still full of eateries and gift shops and outlet malls, its so tacky but it kinda works.
Where the giant wheel is at Icon Park, you have the tallest “Star Flyer” in the world, (that’s the swing ride that goes round and round at height). Love International Drive and I know you walked about 3 miles but that’s enough in searing heat. I think it’s about 12 miles or so in length if I’m thinking correctly but there are some amazing restaurants, cafes, bars and hotels along there. Don’t you just love the Florida heat, (well I do and I’ve done most of the States but Florida is still one of my favs). Nice one Lee 👍
Great video Lee. If James loves trains, take him to East Grinstead (15 minutes from Gatwick). There's a heritage railway called The Bluebell Railway. Its amazing, you'd both enjoy it for sure
Thank you Lee.Hard work in all that heat. We have ate in Perkins and they do good deals and good food. They make the best pies ever in their bakery. Hope you get a few hours relaxation.🏝🍊🍓🍉🐊
I agree with your thoughts on visiting the US as a young kid and thinking it was a cornucopia. I grew up in Canada in border city with the US (Sault Ste. Marie) so we summer vacationed alot in the US. I concurr with the TV channels. There also were many more fast foods places to choose from that we would see from adverts watching US TV in Canada, but none of them actually in Canada. Many more flavors of breakfast cereal to choose from, again we could watch the adverts on US TV but not get the cereal at the Canadian grocery stores. Also, cans of pop on Canada back then (70's) were 10 oz. whereas in the US the cans were 12 oz., amazing! Maybe some of these fond memories from my childhood is why I just passed the 30 year mark of being a US resident.
Mac- My mate is from Orlando and that MacDonalds is 30 years old and is their R&D store where they teat ALL meals, etc. for quality / feedback, etc. is done there!!
Hey! Really enjoyed this, we are goping in May all things good with covid tests!! Cant wait! We are staying in Homewood Suites near that Hooters so good to know they are friendly, my hubby will no doubt wana pay a visit! lol
Definitely a beer or two after that walk what’s happened to the Ponderosa buffet place’s have they shut down . Will you have time to visit one of the parks , be great to see you in Disney or universal. Looks like your catching the sun a bit with that gorgeous weather. Keep enjoying it and exploring.
Gave the video a Like... as always appreciate your content. Keep up the great work! As for the street... soul-less, in my opinion. My worst nightmare. I'm sure Orlando has much more to offer.
Wow that's handy to know. Last time i took my kinds to Florida was in 2018. And I picked up a mobile phone in Walmart. Where keeping are🤞 we get to go this September and hopefully thay ended the covid restrictions. I will take a look for the mobile shop. Where abouts was that in international drive. Hotel is going be close to wonderworks.
Nice videos it's so cool to see all these places . Interesting entertaining videos. Od like to see a 24 hour food crawl or even a week with editing maybe a live thanks. For the relaxing videos . We like this a lot on Egypt
My Goodness how I-92 as changed. I took my family there in the 90's & it was an amazing place with all the hustle & bustle it's a shame to see it like that, do they still use the Marker system on that road, I think Walmart Super store is between Marker 10-11. Lee you forgot to mention in your Intro Starsky & Hutch & if you stayed in a Hotel that had a vibrating bed I think your parents got the wrong place 🤣 Old town ( where the big wheel was ) was another great place to eat & drink & watch everyone on the crazy rides. I was looking out for Chuckie's burger Restaurant which was McDonalds rival & when you drove up to the window at the Drive through you had to say Hi Chuckie's my kids loved it, they'd kill me for saying that they've now got children of there own, brilliant place. Great Vlog brought back a lot of memoirs.
Haha just found you love the morecambe little mention we are from a village very near there,as for the aero dynamics of American vehicles i think they think if it ain’t broke don’t change it.just like the school buses they look like something out of Freddy Kruger,but we absolutely love everything about Florida and one day would love to live there,as for Yorkshire we got family in settle,were are you from originally ,love a bit of millers haha homes under the hammer defo thumbs up and a subscribe.cheers buddy great vlog.👍
@@TheMacMaster what is your overall opinion of Orlando? Thinking of going for Christmas. Does Orlando have a bus network so you can access everywhere or do you need taxi or car hire ?
Did you get the helicopter back to your quality accomodation. Great walk about. It's good to see a bit of the rough mixed in with the upmarket. Some abandoned buildings vlogs would be good to see, just another string to your bow.
Nice one Lee i stayed there in July 1999 im sure it looks nothing like it was then. I stayed in the Travelodge it was close to the indoor sky dive place and close to a gun shooting range, i went to that Titanic place it was brilliant it took a while for us here in Belfast to get something like that, we didnt have nothing for a place that built it such a same but we milk the life out of it now ok lol. Enjoy the rest of your trip.
Quick question. If staying on international drive and only visiting the Disney parks, do I need a car? Or is it possible to just use the hotel shuttles to the parks and walk international drive for food. Thanks
You were probably the ONLY person walking! Only done FL, GA, SC, NYC and on the whole...I didn't see the attraction, ok for hols but that's about it sadly. Had a friend who got his greencard and lived in FL, he walked everywhere and got stopped and questioned so many times by the cops that he came back to the UK.
Loving these videos, I went in about 2009, n yes we stayed where your staying 😁 someone got kidnapped in a bogus taxi dumped n all valuables stolen 😱 I also got riddled on Budweiser with the jugs from the bar ewww never touched it since 🤣
Lee you walked by the best bar in Florida for a beer Murphy’s we love it the last time we went 2016 every premier league football game was on live plus great beers I tend to agree with your assessment too top end of idrive is like Blackpool on speed get to the McDonald’s crossroads as we call it and it’s totally different much classier
A lovely walk, Lee. Have you been to 'Church Street Station' area, where there are lovely boutique and specialty shops and restaurants; I think it's a little more downtown. I think that if a van isn't boxy, as well as their so-called luxury coaches then it wouldn't be American. America is all about being big, brash and in-your-face. Haha!.
Surprised I didn’t see at least one dude on a dirtbike or hear one in the background of the vid😂 if you tried to film this on a Friday at night we would’ve been deep 100+ dirtbikes and quads
Lee, maybe the vans in America are boxy to not only fit more stuff in but to allow the driver to comfortably stand up inside without having to stoop over.
I've lived in Orlando for a year 2022 to mid 2023....yeah it's well....hmmmmm I don't know....I escaped to the outskirts. Melbourne Beaches, etc. I don't do cities really....but to each their own. I am a mountain country gal sometimes beaches....
Love these type of videos Lee. Great insight to what’s on International Drive. It might not be one of the glamorous places in the world but it still looks a fantastic pub/bar crawl!
Great video Lee ! Have to agree I’m fascinated by abandoned hotels , hospitals and even pubs ! So many pubs have shut in England now and I always say people will have meet in there and be married and kids now .
The breakfast at world cafe is a great English. No one fussier than my hubby and he loved it
Spot on , a great place for a good old English fry up ! The staff were great too .
So many memories. My last visit was September 2005, so much has changed. Icon Park was The Mercado, used to live going there at night.

Thanks Lee, great vlog as usual, yes it gets pretty warm ☺️ You walk around and nearly pass out then get in a car or shops and freeze ☺️☺️
Brilliant video Lee Nice to see the scenery and what lovely weather.
Excellent Lee loved the walk and seeing all the different places 👍👍
Love this vlog happy memories for me before we lost mum❤ mum and dad and sister love going there for holidays as well as tenerife happy times 😊 But it amazing that it not changed that much like going back in time ⏱its the weather am loving seeing☀️🇺🇲 bring on summer in England ☀️😊I love old hotels and building like that as well ❤great vlog Lee 🇺🇲👍x

My husband and I went to Ripleys Believe it or Not and honestly walking up to it we were actually walking sideways...such a strange feeling. Loved it tho. X
I did to, 🤣 I was saying to my daughter I feel Ill walking down here she didn’t believe till she did it, did you do the roller coaster simulator?
@@patwright8331 we actually walked to the building itself. Very strange.
@@yvonnechambers2100 yes we did to, we went in and had a go on everything, great experience x
@@patwright8331 rollercoasters aren't for me and I woukdnt do a simulator cos my head tells me I am on a roller coaster 🤣🤣🤣

Yes, a new angle for the Mac master. The Urban explorer. That’ll be great 👍🏻 🌎

Hey thank you me duck. 😃👍🏼👍🏼
For one tiny second I thought you might get out of the helicopter at the end ! Great vlog Lee - you've earned a cold beer 🍺
BEEN TO MURPHYS SO MANY TIMES....GREAT ATMOSPHERE AND DRINKS !!!
Looks like you missed out Hash House a go go further up. Best restaurant on I drive. Absolutely love it.

The BEST Vlog you’ve done in Ages Lee. This is what I love to see.
1982 I was in Orlando, our 5p was the same size as a quarter, we used the 5p on vending machines for drinks 🤩🤩🤩
I love those kind of buildings as well Lee, you ever thought about exploring abandoned buildings or abandoned sites in general? Would make a good series.
Awww, thanks for the memories Lee!

When I was in destin FL 2 years ago as the pandemic started I went to McGuires Irish bar. Best bar I visited on my trip. Food was awesome.
Great vlog Lee. I think people revisit places hoping to recapture how they were years ago (me included). Somehow never works out as time moves on and things change, often not for the better. Looks a little like it's stuck in the '80s, a bit run down but nowhere near as run down as Blackpool. No history there, something Brits take for granted, a bit soulless.
Great enjoyable vlog,love the walks xx
Really enjoy your videos. This one about International Drive has intrigued me / scared me :) Enjoy your trip !!
LOVED THIS!!! We went to Florida a few years ago and loved doing this walk you’ve done! Get me back to hooters with a pitcher of beer 😝🤣 xxx
Thank you.
Very good, loved it
Looks like everywhere is designed for cars rather than walking. As someone who likes walking i think i would need a beer by the end too!
So good to see you walking around Lee 😄
Very insightful, enjoyed that⭐
We first went to Florida (from the UK) in 1986 and International drive even then was like walking though Benidorm and it has not improved. We have been back many times, last time 4 years ago, we had a villa near the parks but we went to I drive to see if it had changed but apart from the upper end where the conv center is driving down to the other end and it is still full of eateries and gift shops and outlet malls, its so tacky but it kinda works.
Hell of a walk fella as they sat in the states,great vlog Lee again
Cheers Gary.
Where the giant wheel is at Icon Park, you have the tallest “Star Flyer” in the world, (that’s the swing ride that goes round and round at height). Love International Drive and I know you walked about 3 miles but that’s enough in searing heat. I think it’s about 12 miles or so in length if I’m thinking correctly but there are some amazing restaurants, cafes, bars and hotels along there. Don’t you just love the Florida heat, (well I do and I’ve done most of the States but Florida is still one of my favs). Nice one Lee 👍
We have the same little train in the metro centre in Gateshead
Great video Lee. If James loves trains, take him to East Grinstead (15 minutes from Gatwick). There's a heritage railway called The Bluebell Railway. Its amazing, you'd both enjoy it for sure
Thank you Lee.Hard work in all that heat. We have ate in Perkins and they do good deals and good food. They make the best pies ever in their bakery. Hope you get a few hours relaxation.🏝🍊🍓🍉🐊
I agree with your thoughts on visiting the US as a young kid and thinking it was a cornucopia.
I grew up in Canada in border city with the US (Sault Ste. Marie) so we summer vacationed alot in the US. I concurr with the TV channels. There also were many more fast foods places to choose from that we would see from adverts watching US TV in Canada, but none of them actually in Canada. Many more flavors of breakfast cereal to choose from, again we could watch the adverts on US TV but not get the cereal at the Canadian grocery stores. Also, cans of pop on Canada back then (70's) were 10 oz. whereas in the US the cans were 12 oz., amazing!
Maybe some of these fond memories from my childhood is why I just passed the 30 year mark of being a US resident.
Fantastic vid Lee really enlightening top man 👍👌
I’ve been Florida 3 times love the place and universal studios isn’t too miss
Mac- My mate is from Orlando and that MacDonalds is 30 years old and is their R&D store where they teat ALL meals, etc. for quality / feedback, etc. is done there!!
In the States, we're all Irish on the 17th when beer tastes better. Coming up. Yorkshire fish and chips look lovely. 😋
Yay going in sept for the first time ,always been a dream of mine to go and finally have the funds to do so ,,great vid mate thank you👍👍
Millers is my favourite on I drive 🔥👌
Hey! Really enjoyed this, we are goping in May all things good with covid tests!! Cant wait! We are staying in Homewood Suites near that Hooters so good to know they are friendly, my hubby will no doubt wana pay a visit! lol
Stayed in the Avanti 5 times m8 …Bahama breeze,millers ale house ,and Magianos are amazing …….well jealous….enjoy
Great video nice to see American way of life looks a nice place for a holiday enjoy your Guinness
Binge watching on your Tenerife vlogs as we speak. We’re on the island because of you. You put in a lot of work. 🙏
Thank you. 😎
Have a great time.
Fabulous tour Lee really good 👍
You also missed O'Schucks Pub Karoke
Another great video Lee
Definitely a beer or two after that walk what’s happened to the Ponderosa buffet place’s have they shut down . Will you have time to visit one of the parks , be great to see you in Disney or universal. Looks like your catching the sun a bit with that gorgeous weather. Keep enjoying it and exploring.
Nice one Lee...enjoyed that ❤ 👍
Any plans to visit the theme parks ? I did them all in 2008.
Gave the video a Like... as always appreciate your content. Keep up the great work!
As for the street... soul-less, in my opinion. My worst nightmare. I'm sure Orlando has much more to offer.
This is the sort of vlog the Mac master is best at.
Thank you. 😎
Agree 👍
Last time we went to Perkins was in 2016 and it was lovely. Longhorn Steakhouse is also a favourite of ours
I like the upside down house 🏠 😌
Wow that's handy to know. Last time i took my kinds to Florida was in 2018. And I picked up a mobile phone in Walmart. Where keeping are🤞 we get to go this September and hopefully thay ended the covid restrictions. I will take a look for the mobile shop. Where abouts was that in international drive. Hotel is going be close to wonderworks.
Hi Lee just love all the U.S vlogs. When do you arrive back in the U.K? Enjoy yourself my friend!
Thanks Glenn. Not sure yet. I extended my stay to go to Los Angeles and then back to New York to film even more. 🕶️🎥🎬

Thank you. 😎
Great vlog but can't recognise anything from our visit about eight years ago.
MANSFIELD LAD!! How odd randomly watching it & im a Mansfield lass 😂
LOL Hello Mansfield.
@@TheMacMaster what is your overall opinion of Orlando? Thinking of going for Christmas. Does Orlando have a bus network so you can access everywhere or do you need taxi or car hire ?
Did you get the helicopter back to your quality accomodation.
Great walk about. It's good to see a bit of the rough mixed in with the upmarket.
Some abandoned buildings vlogs would be good to see, just another string to your bow.
Not been to that Perkins, but went to one near Richmond Va. It was bloody awful!!!!
Nice one Lee i stayed there in July 1999 im sure it looks nothing like it was then. I stayed in the Travelodge it was close to the indoor sky dive place and close to a gun shooting range, i went to that Titanic place it was brilliant it took a while for us here in Belfast to get something like that, we didnt have nothing for a place that built it such a same but we milk the life out of it now ok lol. Enjoy the rest of your trip.
Brilliant vlog
Lol MacMaster you got in there b4 me this time ,frontier land Morecambe 🤣 class pal enjoy mate ...
Quick question. If staying on international drive and only visiting the Disney parks, do I need a car? Or is it possible to just use the hotel shuttles to the parks and walk international drive for food. Thanks
I would suggest a car, its so easy to drive there. I mean you can rely on hotel busses but I feel you will miss so much more of Orlando and beyond.
You were probably the ONLY person walking! Only done FL, GA, SC, NYC and on the whole...I didn't see the attraction, ok for hols but that's about it sadly.
Had a friend who got his greencard and lived in FL, he walked everywhere and got stopped and questioned so many times by the cops that he came back to the UK.
Loving these videos, I went in about 2009, n yes we stayed where your staying 😁 someone got kidnapped in a bogus taxi dumped n all valuables stolen 😱 I also got riddled on Budweiser with the jugs from the bar ewww never touched it since 🤣
We only just missed hulk hogan at his beach shop
You should give the lucky Leprechaun bar a go
Lee you walked by the best bar in Florida for a beer Murphy’s we love it the last time we went 2016 every premier league football game was on live plus great beers I tend to agree with your assessment too top end of idrive is like Blackpool on speed get to the McDonald’s crossroads as we call it and it’s totally different much classier
A lovely walk, Lee. Have you been to 'Church Street Station' area, where there are lovely boutique and specialty shops and restaurants; I think it's a little more downtown. I think that if a van isn't boxy, as well as their so-called luxury coaches then it wouldn't be American. America is all about being big, brash and in-your-face. Haha!.
Love it! :D as i;ve never been
Hi Lee, great video. Heading out in June to Orlando, what’s the best restaurant to go to there?
At 4:50 would that be considered jaywalking, I’m going to Florida in may and don’t no if I’m allowed to cross a road like that lol
Yes that would. My advice use the crossings.
I went to international drive in 2014 I stayed at the pea body Hotel it was amazing it not there anymore we loved it
Surprised I didn’t see at least one dude on a dirtbike or hear one in the background of the vid😂 if you tried to film this on a Friday at night we would’ve been deep 100+ dirtbikes and quads
Are sizzler and ponderosa still there ?
I used to go to those restaurants all the time! Loved them.
Lee, maybe the vans in America are boxy to not only fit more stuff in but to allow the driver to comfortably stand up inside without having to stoop over.
What was the Guinness like can you review it please
I've lived in Orlando for a year 2022 to mid 2023....yeah it's well....hmmmmm I don't know....I escaped to the outskirts. Melbourne Beaches, etc. I don't do cities really....but to each their own. I am a mountain country gal sometimes beaches....
great vlog ❤ I drive 👍
