Ah 1992 was my first ever trip! I was 14 and went with my parents. We stayed on what is now the Rosen International (by the big McDonald's!) Yes I know the Avanti Palms well, stayed there during my 2022 trip with my Mum. Nice hotel, it was just the housekeeping (or lack of!) that let it down! Would be lovely to meet you over there - I go home on the 23rd so will be there for a few days of your trip!

@@kezzakeane I stayed at the Avanti Palms 8 times when it was The Holiday Inn International Resort. It was 4 star then and the housekeeping was great. We booked to stay there and cancelled it after reading the trip Advisor reviews. But then we needed to save some money so rebooked the Avanti palms. So fingers crossed, I’ll take my own floor mop and dusters. What was the Rosen Inn International called in 1992?

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.

Omg this was such a great video brought back so many memories. I remember when it was roadway, Inn, and right across the street was a waterpark called wet n wild which I believe they demolished. Hotel still looks the same. We had a very nice stay for 4 days and the breakfast was superb. I would not mind coming back and staying at that hotel again.

I really enjoyed all of your vlogs from Orlando! I'm thinking of doing a solo trip to Orlando next year so I found it really helpful. I'm used to solo travelling but not yet been to Orlando by myself, but have been with family previously. I also usually book "piecemeal" as opposed to packages. When I've previously been to Orlando though I've hired a car. I'm not planning on doing that if I go by myself. So my question is, how did you get to/from airport to I-Drive? Thank you very much, great tips

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.

@gemmadavies4010 a combination of overweight suitcases, part of my arm rest breaking on the plane and they wanted to move my seat - and then stress at the baggage claim after an hour of waiting they said 100+ people's cases were still in Orlando - but people had air tags in their cases so they knew they were sitting on the tarmac somewhere!

While doing some scuba certification tasks on Crystal River in 2008 I ended up swimming face first into what I thought was the bottom of the river because my mask fogged up and I lost my bearings.
