Hi Kerry, I have just watched most of your videos. I love them, you are so natural and honest. I have also been to Florida 10 times. But I have not been there since 2002. I am going back September 2024, propably for one final time. We were booked at The Avanti Palms, that used to be The Holiday Inn International Resort. My late wife and I loved it there but after reading recent trip advisor reviews, we cancelled and are now going to Drury Inn & Suites on Turkeylake Road/ Sandlake Road West. Keep doing your vlogs, I love watching them. I live in Rye.
Stopped there in 1997 when it was called Las Palmas and we went to Wet'n Wild a few times as it was great fun,. I remember the hotel overlooking the lake where the Westgate Plaza, going to Dunkin Donuts quite often, Ponderosa for breakfast etc. Back then i'd never seen so much food places, shops, tourist attractions on one very long road. Weather wise it was very hot and that was in Spring. We dodged alot of the storms as they usually rolled in after we'd finished visiting places like Epcot, Universal Studio's etc. We tried to do as much as we could in 1 week before going to Clearwater for the week after.
love your videos (great info),we're thinking of staying here(in 2024) .To stay in the block you stayed in(pool facing) do you book direct and how do you ask for a pool facing room ? Thanks in advance.
Thank-you so much! I booked through Travel Republic on that last trip. I always send my request via Facebook messenger and then remind them a week.or so before I go and they always say they will try their best! I've faced the other way once and it's just not the same! You can see Universal but not much else so definitely ask for a pool view 😃
No not this trip - as a park, I'm really not a fan of Seaworld anyway. Volcano Bay was too busy last August and really needs more than 1 person I think xx

Blueberry and lavender lemonade, I like the sound of that!
It was delicious!! I love all the different flavours of everything you can get over here!

Are you going to seaworld or volcano bay? X

we stayed round the corner (22/8 to 31/8) in an awful hotel the grand (on universal boulevard,wouldn't stay there again but this looks great)
None of the Buffalo Wild Wings have good food. I live in Arizona, and I won't go there.
It's definitely not somewhere I would rush back to!
