ABANDONED Florida Hotel Near Disney | ORLANDO SUN RESORT | Walt Disneyworld Sept 2024

[@Bloodrocutioner]

I've documented that place multiple times inside. There used to be security there at that hotel. When I went the first time like 3 or 4 years ago had to dodge security to get inside to see the abandoned place. Great documentation and video as usual. Definitely people staying there now. That place is in such rough shape. There is even PlayStations in some of the rooms along with Game of Thrones pamphlets for HBO television. The collapse of the restaurant area was the downfall of this place. The convention center area was phenomenal to see in person.

[@TheLodgeGuys]

if you look closely you can see a washing line in one of the shots

[@Bloodrocutioner]

@TheLodgeGuys I am definitely going to have to go back and have a look at the wash lines in the video. This was an interesting new spin on your vlogs. Just went back and wow! I can't believe I missed that. Definitely some people there, it's sad. I know I've seen several homeless people here in the past. In fact I was there a few weeks after the restaurant area roof collapsed there were people who parked with power tools literally pulling scrap metal from the air conditioner units that were on the roof. Also crazy to note during COVID a lot of the hotels down Internation drive closed and people actually moved into the abandoned hotels along there. Wouldn't be surprised if some made their way over to this location.

192 used to be a hopping place in its heyday.

[@stevenpluff6481]

​@Bloodrocutioner where can I check out your videos of this old hotel

[@vickimccollum2537]

You have had a great trip. It was fun to see all your friends, the great condo, and the chef!

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@MKnight-o1t]

Love the beard, Nick…it really suits you!!

[@Chieftracyhorse]

Loved the drone shots of the Hotel! ❤

[@JDMJOSHI]

The abandoned hotel drone footage and voice over was a great addition to the vlog. More things like this in the future would be great. 😊

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@TheLodgeGuys]

They are so good

[@elked.5166]

@@TheLodgeGuys Immersed in the oil of the garlic schrimp scampi a taste explosion in the mouth. It wasn't until October that we went to Red Lobster again four times. So good!!!!

[@davidsearle8811]

We have driven past that abandoned complex for years thanks for scratching the information itch as we always wanted to know more.

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@Sharon-Clive]

Absolutely loved watching your tour of the abandoned hotel. We have been 25 times and never knew anything about this. We love finding out about other non theme park things. Thank you 😊

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@stuartheywoodi2980]

I have watched all your videos and this has to be the most fascinating one for me,in awe at the drone work.massive props too you guys

[@mrsmifflin]

Lovely filming with the drone, very atmospheric

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@Followmikey]

In 1994 I had a friend who got me a job as a bellman at this hotel. It was so busy then, and as a 21 year old kid I would have days where I made 300 dollars in tips! It's crazy to see it like this now from remembering what it was!

[@naomiparcell]

The abandoned hotel reminds me of the abandoned US military base on the island of Adak, Alaska. In the mid 90s they just upped and left leaving absolutely everything. Its very earie to walk around seeing the abandoned houses, schools, Burger king and bowling alley. You almost feel like you are on a film set for an apocalypse style movie

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Would love to see that

[@erinjones6889]

Such an interesting vlog with the abandoned resort! We’ve always wondered about it each time we’ve passed it. Great bit of drone flying too!

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@sarafoster388]

Fantastic piloting skills, Nick 👌 I also love looking about abandoned places. Thanks for sharing 👍

[@joannewalsh3597]

Hi guys. We saw this and drove by on our last trip. Fabulous footage. I love seeing things like this. Thank you and we will be trying Red lobster on our next visit xx

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@JennyS54]

What a fuuuuun day, that deserted hotel was eerie, I couldn’t help but imagine people bustling around there, swimming in the pool, laughing, enjoying themselves. I love, love love it when u drive around Celebrations, adore that place, had a ball with you both again me lovelies, love ya’s ❤❤

[@stpetefl]

Great video! The drone in the abandoned hotel was awesome!!! Surprised it was your first time at Red Lobster! 😎☀️❤️🏳️‍🌈

[@TheLodgeGuys]

We thought red lobster had gone bust tbh

[@christinem.4618]

Amazing drone footage Nick!

[@TheLodgeGuys]

👍👍❤️

[@tallactordude]

The abandoned hotel was kind of creepy, and I think a drone was the best way to see it, because I would feel very uncomfortable walking around a place like that. It has been ages since I’ve been in a Red Lobster; I remember going to one where our waiter pretty much abandoned us, and we couldn’t get refills of tea or even our bill for the longest time.

[@Dachsontour]

Yeah. The area of the hotel is pretty rough. I stayed there in a cheap hotel on my own a few years ago. My Passport and all of my theme park tickets got stolen. Even the police told me it's not safe to stay here as a woman on my own. So I moved to I drive. It was a bloody nightmare. I needed to book a 3.000 Dollar Lufthansa Ticket because Norwegian refused to let me board the plane. Even after the TSA gave me the clearance. So stay away from the area. I will return as a Cast Member at Disney for the International Program in the German Pavillion in the end of February. So I will try to fill those nightmare Memoires with some good one!

[@marksnelling8598]

Great flying . So sad but intriguing to see such a place abandoned. Love your vlogs. Keep it up

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Glad you enjoyed

[@skybluejay9473]

No doubts there are people living in lonely world. We stayed at the Delta in July and police were in there one evening and forensic trucks too but nothing was ever mentioned on the tv or in the press. Adam the woo took his drone over but the police wouldn’t let him anywhere near the buildings

[@ultanwoods]

Great Vlog guys 👏 Amazing drone footage. What drone do you guys have?

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Dji mini pro 4

[@gobbsmacked9777]

With the beard and mustache, Nick looks even more like Freddie Mercury.

[@leecryptopian]

Sorry for the long post but the Drone footage was incredible and very immersive so well done on the insight you gave us into that spooky hotel. Adding the explanation really gave it awesome context. It's like looking through the keyhole into the past. Almsot like that film with Will Smith I am Legend (Without the zombies :) I went to Charlies Steak house in August by Icon Park and just ordered what I wanted for me and my friends - Only when I saw the 4 figure bll did I realise that it's a pricey place to eat 🤣 Luckily I was on a crypto budget so means I could be a little more spendy haha. Back to 2 for 1 in Harvester till August 2025 trip back over there with the family :) Loved the vlog as always lads. Awesome

[@elaineroom6358]

Great vlog, really interesting it's so good seeing places other than the parks.

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Glad you enjoyed

[@Gramos-g9x]

They should really clean it up and build something amazing, maybe another budget friendly hotel for Disney customers 🤷‍♀️

[@shirleymclean5895]

Sad about the abandoned hotel - even sadder that the homeless people 😔

[@rachel_roams2024]

I love abandoned footage! If anyone wants more Disney history/ going through other abandoned projects Bright Sun Travels is a great yt channel and the proper people

[@TheLodgeGuys]

👍

[@GarryNewton-o1w]

Drove past that this morning!! I looks terrible from the 192.

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Needs doing up for sure could be a Great spot

[@nicolaward1034]

I would say that the abandoned hotel would need knocking down & completely rebuilding? I expect it would cost a pretty penny too!!! It could be absolutely lovely & it’s very well situated too….. Great vlog 👍🏻 xx

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Thanks for watching ❤️

[@naomiparcell]

i always park across the road in that overflow section near Fords...so I can visit Gap, North Face and UGG

[@marylynnconejo884]

On another trip, do try the Columbia restaurant. They are Spanish/Cuban, very good food. They are a bit expensive, but as you are both used to Disney prices, I doubt you’ll be shocked, and it is well worth it. They start you get a fresh hunk of Cuban bread from El Segundo Bakery in Tampa, locally known for great bread. Many great Cuban and Spanish dishes, wonderful 1905 salad (Leigh will like this).

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Will definitely try it next time 👍

[@wendypearce8799]

Yay Red Lobster!! I've always loved it, now Cracker Barrel... i was late to the party for that and that bit at the back of world showcase, the Boardwalk never knew about that till my last trip!... theres always loads to see and do in Florida, just have to keep going back... foods just the best though 🍕🍨🍹

[@cranneyfivefam7416]

I am currently sat in hilton gatwick ready for my flight tomorow to stay at the delta and i honestly am looking forward to seeing this hotel from a distance 😂

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Hope you have a great trip ❤️

[@GoofyNorm]

Why can’t Nick help cleanup the kitchen???? Lol

[@mfoth20]

Weve eaten at the colmbia at celebration and it's not that pricey and still casual dress. Nice food. I would say similar pricing to chillies etc .

[@TheLodgeGuys]

That's good to know. We need to try it

[@stevenpluff6481]

I remember when that hotel was in operation. It was in a prime location right there on 192 and I4. Hopefully, someone does fox it up and reopen it. Oh, the Lodge looks spectacular as usual with the Christmas. decorations.

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Such a shame the hotel had been left to go like that

[@stevenpluff6481]

​@TheLodgeGuys I always wanted to stay there, but ended up staying with my cousins (more money to spend at Disney).

[@vickieshadrack1617]

That hotel footage by drone was amazing well done Nick ..Its was also giving me horror netflix series vibes..And Red lobster 🦞 is yum had my first one in Toronto 2012 glad you're aboard that bus ...ps its lovely seeing Lucy and Ste in your vlogs ( i love them too ) ❤

[@JamieLG]

Super interesting vlog guys.

[@Hollyweeds]

Love the drone exploration. Thanks, guys.

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@stephmcghie8732]

Would love to have gone inside the abandoned hotel and had a look at all the rooms, I have a thing for abandoned buildings 😂. We have a Victorian mental asylum near us, often think it'd be nice to look around 😮

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Lol. Bet that would be spooky

[@jboxwell2054]

Did you say Shock Top as the equivalent of Blue Moon? I'd like to try an alternative to Blue Moon. Have you tried Blue Moon Light? I've never seen it on draught but its available in cans from from Walmart/Target.

[@bobbecnel]

Awesome! Very cool.

[@janetali6102]

Another great vlog ,could you make the French toast at the lodge or as close to it, I can see how it's made thanks

[@TheLodgeGuys]

I will try one day

[@Elizabeth-gt4df]

Live in Colorado and love Red lobster.
