    If you guys had to choose Medieval times or the Pirates show which do you guys think genuinely is funnier ? Thanks in advance

  2. @JC-tf2jb on September 7, 2024 at 4:54 pm

    Another dinner show is capons. Some fun songs and a corny prohibition theme and show. And drinks are included(at least they were when I went).

  3. @AJknickerbocker on September 7, 2024 at 4:56 pm

    How is fun spot not a theme park? 🤷🏻‍♂️

  4. @AmLetoure on September 7, 2024 at 4:57 pm

    Ripley’s Believe It or Not was a waste on time and money. I definitely would not compare it to Wonder Works.

  5. @PhimbleG-d on September 7, 2024 at 4:59 pm

    Lovely POSITIVE channel. I’m sick of everyone complaining about all of these luxury things and not appreciating their lives. Thank you

  6. @GotmerKed on September 7, 2024 at 5:00 pm

    Just moved to the area… great video!

  7. @theminuteman3460 on September 7, 2024 at 5:00 pm

    Lots of fun things to do in Florida, although I would stay away from Jacksonville.

  8. @rcbucs25 on September 7, 2024 at 5:01 pm

    If your into big thrills I have to add Zipline adventures in Ocala! That was one of the most amazing experiences of my life, we have been to florida many times and tried this for the first time a few weeks ago and wow breathtaking. For 120 dollars you do 9 ziplines over beautiful landscapes. Def worth the money and waaaaay cheaper than a day at disney

  9. @matthewkelly6962 on September 7, 2024 at 5:01 pm

    🤣 half the list is literally theme parks 😂

    How about boycotting? That would show DeSantis what a fool he is.

  12. @samanthananda4276 on September 7, 2024 at 5:05 pm

    I live in Florida!! I would love to visit and travel to all the places that I would enjoy going to. Right now the reason why I am not is because I am not independent enough and am stuck in my parents house. I barely go out at times only to like therapy. I wish I had my license, it would mean the world to me if I was independent and get to do all the things I want. I want to live and experience life to its fullest. I want to do all the things that would make me happy like traveling, going on vacations, anywhere fun that I would be interested in.

  13. @perucho2194 on September 7, 2024 at 5:07 pm

    We are a family of 6, children ages 3,8,11,12. I went to Disney & Epcot 35-40 years ago, but times have change. This is very helpful. My wife and I have to see more of your videos to select 1-2 parks to visit in the orlando area: so far seems like IconPark, Kennedy Space Center, Zoo Wonder works, FunSpot, and Crayola Experience might be good candidates. Having said that, which of those are the most expensive? Thank you!

  14. @mattrix4200 on September 7, 2024 at 5:07 pm

    Missed one of the BEST places we discovered last month… Island H20 is an AMAZING deal! Great waterpark, fairly inexpensive, and lots of fun inside the park (especially if you have a group of 3-6 people)!

  15. @BijoyDhar-cw5mt on September 7, 2024 at 5:07 pm

    Hi ma’am, can I make your YouTube thumbnails instead of little money.i m not professional but trying.if u r interested i please inform me

  16. @rondamon4408 on September 7, 2024 at 5:10 pm

    This is the video I was looking for,

  17. @thejasscarter on September 7, 2024 at 5:10 pm

    this was great, thank you

  18. @aaronwilson5978 on September 7, 2024 at 5:12 pm

    You could go to Gator land for a whole week and the price would probably be cheaper than one day at Disney

  19. @jeffreywhite4091 on September 7, 2024 at 5:13 pm

    These parks just nickle and dime the crap out of you

  20. @shiningstarz7213 on September 7, 2024 at 5:17 pm

    You got all the fun stuff. Love the video!❤😊

  21. @brianbrewer2909 on September 7, 2024 at 5:18 pm

    They allow people inside the enclosure with the gators?!

  22. @crazyTommytourettes on September 7, 2024 at 5:18 pm

    Okay, I LIVE in Melbourne and go to the Makoto’s Japanese restaurant a LOT, and apparently “Arcade Monsters” is in the same BUILDING, and I had zero clue that arcade monsters existed. How does no one in my social circle have any idea about that place? Wtf? Lol

  23. @romeoserback on September 7, 2024 at 5:19 pm

    Good video, considering I’ll be moving down there in 2025. I need to entertain family and friends when they visit.

  24. @DaNiBu10 on September 7, 2024 at 5:21 pm

    Love your videos! feeding the gators part is crazy , we’ll never risk my child .. you’re to brave

  25. @KnowDAOself on September 7, 2024 at 5:21 pm

    Great list! I would add the Florida springs to this. Deleon is very kid friendly with their kiddie pool section

  26. @yolandabranner6200 on September 7, 2024 at 5:22 pm

    They are adorable. Really love it. I will have to use those google eyes for the eyes. Not good with the clay would have to think of something else for the ears.

  27. @PS-zw4yc on September 7, 2024 at 5:22 pm

    You should work on being smoother and less speed swipe camera pans

  28. @DarkbarkVids on September 7, 2024 at 5:23 pm

    planning a trip to universal so may grab a taxi at some point and visit some of these places 🙂

  29. @deenasadventurevlog9398 on September 7, 2024 at 5:28 pm

    Thank you so much..yes I want to see an updated video on Dezerland please

  30. @lashaysmith7783 on September 7, 2024 at 5:32 pm

    I need to get over my fear of gators because I really want to visit Gatorland at least once. I’ve been waiting for Laila to turn 12 so we can do Trainer for a day and never have to go back lol.

    We’re going to visit Dezerland in August! I didn’t know what it was until watching your video on it.

    Loved the video…a great overview of ways to have fun outside of theme parks. Just shows why Florida is a top travel destination spot!!!!

  31. @Adwest2323 on September 7, 2024 at 5:32 pm

    Narrator is so nasally, please get some kind of filter for the voice.

  32. @heylookitsthetruth on September 7, 2024 at 5:32 pm

    dezerland is so lame, empty and huge waste of space in Orlando

  33. @paterson00 on September 7, 2024 at 5:33 pm

    Not sure if it qualifies due to it’s location but going out to swim with the Manatees at Crystal River has to be way up there on the list of things to do aside from the theme parks. Such an amazing experience

  34. @michellewelsh2505 on September 7, 2024 at 5:34 pm

    You get your money 💰 worth at FUN SPOT
    The * LONG LINES * you lucky if you get in 3 rides at Disney WORST if its holiday season. # ECONOMICAL # 2024

  35. @coralynesdueno2321 on September 7, 2024 at 5:36 pm

    Eleve it wow

  36. @InfectiousGroovePodcast on September 7, 2024 at 5:36 pm

    This is exactly the video I wanted. I moved to Jacksonville about a year ago. We’re planning a day trip to Orlando in mid June. We’d like to do a bunch of other fun things other than the theme parks.

  37. @Shelley2oo9 on September 7, 2024 at 5:37 pm

    Too bad this was all arrcades and indoor stuff aside from the zoo

  38. @holliev492 on September 7, 2024 at 5:37 pm

    What do you think a good age range on WonderWorks is? My nephew is 10 and 2 adults.

  39. @_LauraElizabeth on September 7, 2024 at 5:38 pm

    Please get a gimbal! It’d stop all the shaking. I understand not everyone has a steady hand but this was impossible to watch.

  40. @lexirowe3151 on September 7, 2024 at 5:39 pm

    Great ideas for days away from the theme parks or locals looking for new ideas. Not sure I’d fly all the way to Orlando to visit these over theme parks though

  41. @The-Urviech on September 7, 2024 at 5:39 pm

    you americans are so weird. all the things you listed are amusement parks for us europeans

  42. @jackyray6088 on September 7, 2024 at 5:41 pm

    Letting small kids feed a herd of gators is crazy. Especially with the history in orlando with small children and gators

  43. @naibunty8909 on September 7, 2024 at 5:42 pm

    Very helpful

  44. @taylornation320 on September 7, 2024 at 5:43 pm

    Your kids are blessed to do so many fun things. Great memories!

  45. @user-lf4ux7dm7g on September 7, 2024 at 5:45 pm

    It’s a long way to go for skin cancer and a Slurpy. I think I’ll pass.
