[@trinamiller100]

I love sharing a story on how you started a KZbin channel back in 2017, showing the editing setup etc. I’ve started KZbin back in 2009. So I’ve done variety of videos. I’m so glad to be in this Disney/travel/theme park community.

[@twarford0214]

Thanks for all the great videos Jackie

[@stephanieann4632]

Love your channels! I used to work at Opryland when I was a teen and was there the night it closed. So many of us Nashvillians still miss that park. It was such a great little place.

[@MamaMac2961]

Thank you Jackie for answering my question. We are disnerds as well!

[@stevebroander2119]

Opryland was an Awesome park, its sad that its gone!

[@sharonh5399]

I love the purple on the computer. My favorite color!

[@waynesmith3908]

I just love you Jackie and I appreciate your video's. So often they cheer me up. I don't get to go but I can through you. A little food, a fun wander around. ride a ride with you. It makes my day and I am Wayne's World the heck with that other silly guy. Hahaaa I also like that you and Sam found each other, he seems to complete you and that is great.

[@KingSynsei]

Love how genuine you are, such a breath of fresh air in every video! Bonus, you and Sam are adorable!

[@MikeWeida]

Geauga Lake was AWESOME!!!!!

[@ChristaCrannell]

I've appreciated your vlog style and personal attitude from when I first started watching you. Keep it up 😊

[@SuzanneA618]

Lady, I really liked this, it’s like a live stream but more focused and you don’t have to stop every two seconds to read questions that are flying by at the speed of light🎉 Looking forward to the TN videos! My husband and I love it there too! We always say we would love to own a cabin there someday or move there❤

[@ChilliTink]

You're the best, Jackie! You and Sam are so positive and your videos are so much fun and informative! We all love you!

[@StephenYoung-iq7qg]

I know I sound like a broken record but you are amazing all round wonderful person. I seen all of your vidoes, any way from the bottom of my heart thank you for being you . God bless. 😊 ❤ 💯

[@adaadjoh]

I'm jealous of Sam's PC, that thing looks beastly!

[@jessicadaly143]

I love your videos and your love for life! I still hope to meet you one day in the parks. Our family lives in Orlando and are passholders at both Disney and universal. One day!!!

[@SuzanneA618]

I love that you mentioned the names of some my travel superheroes❤ Grew up watching Rick Steves with my family and watched Samantha Brown when she had her regular show! This was great! Thanks for sharing 🎉

[@trish5556]

Samantha Brown had a series on PBS called Places to Love that was really good also. Not sure if it is still on, but she is on Facebook too.

[@GaryT1927]

You would’ve loved Opryland. We met Tanya Tucker there and had our photo taken with her. It was a great theme park. We loved it.

[@erinb2745]

My wife and I met you a couple months ago at the Ganachery at Disney Springs. You were seriously the sweetest! We love your videos 🎶🎶🎶

[@kellibertelsman1191]

Thanks for what you do. Your channel is a breath of fresh air.

👋 I started watching you since the pandemic and I love you and your style channel! You’re interesting, knowledgeable and your enthusiasm makes for great content. Plus your relaxed personality mixed with adding Sam to your vlogs makes watching a pleasure! You’re recapping at the end of your vlogs is awesome. Thanks for sharing yours and Sam’s life and adventures. Don’t change, just keep being you, your awesome!👍😁

[@SuperEnthused]

Pauline thank you so much for this encouragement, support and kindness!!! Really means the world!!

[@ResetDoitAgain]

Love the montages at the end with the music backing. Your music choices are brilliant.

[@marielayfield2987]

I do love your video style, it is the best, like we are right there with you. Especially when I cannot get down to the parks. And I love you leave Orlando and go other places. I regret not going to Hard Rock Amusement park at Myrtle beach. I was there the year it opened but thought I would wait a year. Sam's Extinct videos are cool to cover places I never heard of. Keep sharing!

[@Aisha.The.Traveler]

Glad to hear your story! Great channel! Like you, I also like Samantha Brown. 😊

[@JoeVol5249]

When you come back up to the Gatlinburg area, if you enjoy a good quality beer, definitely check out Iron Forge Brewery. Best beer in Severe county. Also the food is phenomenal!

[@patriciagreene5842]

I knew you were a kindred spirit!! Cheese is my go to!! I enjoyed your video once again!

[@ralphalonso4932]

Wow....boardwalk and baseball. Memories.....yep boardwalk thru the park and Kansas city royals minor league team played there. Sadly I knew it wouldn't last it was always empty

[@joeycuriel]

❤🎉 love this channel

[@Indigolden]

I think you have an excellent videographer's eye, Jackie, better than most vloggers. Some of your montages are artistically brilliant and beautiful. It frustrates me that you don't have millions of subscribers! You deserve great success.

[@cjselby651]

Just had a der moment. Have been watching your videos for quite some time and always thought Sam sounded like the guy from the other channel I watch....uh, yeah, um....too awesome!!!

[@SuperEnthused]

Hahaha yea it’s him! He’s the best 💕

[@Fortheloveofthethrill]

Geauga Lake?!? Oh my. I live only 30 minutes from there and I hate that it’s no longer open because my son would absolutely love it.

[@marjielalonde3875]

Wow, I can`t believe it`s been a year since your last Q&A, where does the time go? I love travelling with you guys, and you introduced me to Dollywood and Gatlinburg, which I really enjoy. You`re both so positive and make the best out of everything, and that`s lovely. Love from western Canada.

[@JollyOldWolf]

I recently started watching. I liked it so much that I started watching some of the beginning videos. The 1st trip to Knott's was fun

[@jagmaida5074]

I remember going to Boardwalk and Baseball as a kid when the school my dad taught at here in Jacksonville was in the state playoffs. This was probably late 80's early 90's yep I'm old but I remember having fun that day and then my dad's school lost

[@daniellemoore504]

Geauga Lake was in my backyard. We were so fortune!! Also across the street was SEA WORLD. Made for some magical summers.

[@user-ov8st1zv9v]

❤❤❤❤❤ Love your Love

[@robertknapp6437]

Greetings Jackie I am also a Native from South Florida. Born and raised in Hollywood.

[@shane5110]

This was great. I l❤ve your vlogging style. I was gonna ask when you heading back to Dollywood. Glad it will be soon as I always enjoy watching those trips. I cant believe you waited 10 hours for a ride. I thought a 4 hour wait just to see Figment was crazy. LOL 😅

[@dkylewhitley]

Thanks for the updated Q&A! It's always great to hear updates from you and Sam! Also, great idea with the podcast. My friends and I use to put out an episode a week and it's so easy to get burnt out fast. Definitely looking forward to all that's to come!

[@68dreamer2941]

Wife and I finally got time to watch this video, and the first question was hers (EMMacdaniel2961), so cool. Enjoy your videos, always keeping are eyes open for you when visiting Walt Disney World parks ❤️

[@sweezey1981]

Brisket sliced! Yes.

[@ambermcvay5028]

Sam said Geauga Lake!!! That made my heart so happy. I grew up going to SeaWorld and Geauga Lake in Ohio. I miss those parks so very much. Loved the video ♥️

[@donnamarler6945]

Your awesome Jackie! Loved watching this… I don’t know if anyone has ever said this but your voice is very soothing and calming! Thank you for sharing!❤❤❤❤❤

[@monicahaller3330]

I think these are my favorite type of videos. You’re a very interesting person Jackie, we all want to hear your backstory. Get some more insight on one of our favorite KZbinrs!!!

[@SuperEnthused]

💕💕💕 thank u Monica for always being so kind and cool!

[@TripNWithRed]

We always enjoy your vlogs. It's fun to hear the behind the scenes reasons you do what you do.

[@SuperEnthused]

Appreciate u, sis! Hope you’re doing better!

[@Iankahalewai]

Love you jackie

[@kristenpenner5802]

thanks for the update!

[@Nammsayin]

oh and go back to Holiday world! that place is my fav

[@user-if7lx7kh8r]

Let Sam know, we went to Boardwalk and Baseball! Way back in about 1988 while HS sweethearts. He misses it greatly as a huge baseball fan. Across the I 4 intersection was a hotel with a huge Ted Williams mural.

[@amydick5655]

I love your channel by the way

[@ciadaclark9110]

I'm moving to Tennessee at the end of this month only a 2 hr drive to dollywood from where I'm moving too

[@lisau.4307]

Thank you for sharing, Jackie! It was fun to see your desk & office area as well 🧡💚! I enjoy this type of video as opposed to live streams, much more thoughtful and focused.

[@aliyadaghestani4162]

Love you and Sam! Have you guys gone to Tivoli in Copenhagen? That's an absolute must do! Plus, if you go in the summer it's light out almost all day and night

[@MarkRidley-lp3im]

Hi Jackie! Love your Channel very much! Happy Wednesday. Send you a tons of love! I'm off today. Live in Woodbridge VA.

[@Lady_Peaches]

Hoping you do the questions in the podcast as really interested in your answer to my question 🥰

[@rocinantae]

Hello Jackie. My wife and I love watching yours and others travel vlogs. Its been a family tradition here, especially since the pandemic. Youre just such a great escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. So thanks for that. We also love it when you sing so keep it up! In your other get to know me vlog you mentioned you were in an indy band so I had to look it up. You guys were great! I love Gingerbread dog. It reminded me of my old Orlando days seeing bands like Naomis Hair downtown. Hope the wheels on your bus aren't still going about 170mph or so, lol.

[@lyndaabiuso5335]

Watching you today I’m just loving all your energy.

[@kimberlyschleicher5292]

Jackie,I love you so much, I have been watching you for a long time. Thank you for all the vlogs. You and Sam are great.

[@sydneygarlington8962]

Hi Jackie! I started watching your channel a few years ago when I first moved to Orlando, and while I am ironically not the biggest Disney person, I love your enthusiasm and passion! It is absolutely contagious, and I have gotten so many wonderful travel tips from you over the years! Keep up the great work, friend! ❤

[@thecoolestdad]

I remember Boardwalk and Baseball. We went there in 1987 which was my first time to Disney. back then they gave tons of extra stuff in the packages. We had food vouchers for several meals, free admission to Kennedy Space Center, Wet and Wild, and Boardwalk and Baseball. So we went down there and it was ok, but the place was nearly empty. You need people for excitement. It felt dull to a point as I remember. I would have liked to see it thrive and become a good park to go to. I never heard why it closed down. I was in Miami in 1988. My friend and I were in the right place at the right time and got to watch a scene being filmed for Miami Vice. It was a night scene in an alley between two buildings. I also got a couple of snapshots of Don Johnson as he left the building during a day time scene. We also drove down to Key West and I loved it. I haven't been back to Miami or Key West since 1988. I would love to go back though. I also love Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. Dollywood is an awesome park and I can't wait to get back up there to go again.

[@jamesbozeman5811]

i REALLY ENJOY LARNING ABOUT YOU AND SAM. I GREW UP IN SOUTH GEORGIA AND MOVED TO FLORIDA 3 TIMES. THE 3RD TIME WAS A CHARM..IT TOOK AND 'IVE LIVED HERE 30 YEARS. I ADMITTED THAT I AM ADDICTED TO YOUR CHANNEL. EVERY OPINION YOU EX[RESS I AGREE WITH AND WOULD LOVE TO SEE A VIDEO FROM YOU EVERY DAY. I GUESS THAT WOULD BE SELFISH OF ME BUT IT IS THE TRUTH. THANKS FOR ALL YOU DO AND KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.

[@joanpazdziora5388]

Loved this vlog you and Sam or so genuine and wonderful to watch. You truly bring joy to me. I totally agree with the cold weather is no fun. I hope to get back to Florida next year. Stay well

[@lisagrahn7503]

Also, hope you go to Asheville or vlog Asheville. Biltmore is amazing! I know you can't film in the house but the grounds are beautiful. In the summer, they have the Highland games near there too. Overall, its a great place to visit.

[@Farrah-St]

You should sprinkle a few answers in at the end of each vlog! Love your videos !

[@Songwritersbehindthecurtain]

Thank you ☺ 🙏 Jackie for answering my question.

[@danoverfield137]

[@ISpyWithMyLittleEye]

Oh my gosh, I'm not techy but that is the coolest computer I've ever seen!

[@caseyhufft6879]

Been saying it for 5 1/2 years. Jackie is the new samantha brown!!!!!!!!!❤

[@hillorisartin6129]

I went to Opryland when I was a kid. It was a lot like dollywood. I also want to move to Tennessee. I love the gatlinburg area too.

[@SuperEnthused]

That’s how I know I would have loved it!

[@DancefloorFitness]

No way ...are you from Swindon Sam? 😱😆 Great video Jackie, really enjoyed it 💖

[@tracymacarthur5699]

Just keep being you, I really enjoy all your vloggs

[@susanhill149]

Hey, SE! I’m always a few days late watching your videos still working hard during the week myself. But I like to watch in the morning before I have to go to work and you always put me in such a great mood and then now this morning, folding clothes watching you getting in a good mood again! You’re the bestest!❤❤😊😊

[@bdchiaccio]

Your positivity is such a bright light!

[@barbaradudley4083]

Hey Jackie, suggest I would enjoy seeing you and Sam explore discovery cove.

[@nms6296]

You are the best! Always real, humble, and so kind. Still hoping to see you in the parks one day.

[@BrewCityGillz]

Thank you, Jackie! Always love these videos where you talk behind the scenes. Keep doing what your are doing and how you are doing it! 😊📹

[@drewwadsworth3285]

Jackie, as you know, I'm an old guy who can't really travel anymore. I get my travel fix through your videos. I love it when you visit places that I went to, back in the day, like the U.K. and of course WDW and USF. I like the off beat videos like the recent boat journey around the WDW waterways. Like you, the Haunted Mansion inprinted itself in my mind. It's one of my few remaining memories from my first visit to the Magic Kingdom in 1972, when I was 6. I'm always happy when you pop up in my feed. Thank you for everything you do.

[@cheryldailey5310]

Zelda and chill! LOL! Great Q and A. ❤

[@AlexanderHeymes]

Dear Jackie & Sam, there is a new Blomhouse Photo Experience just opened at Universal Citywalk, next to Fat Tuesday. It is a lot of fun and totally free 😃😎

[@kierakiera4464]

Same as many people are saying, found you during the pandemic. I hadn’t EVER watched KZbin in my life until 2020! Crazy! Now I watch it all the time and all my new friends videos. ❤❤

[@beckyslunajubar3520]

I always love you enthusiasm! And you two are so cute! Thanks for sharing.

[@PhattyMcdugen]

We have been blessed with multiple Sam sightings!!!

[@waywardexcursions2606]

Thank you for sharing. We love watching your videos. And as a small channel that hasn't even been around for a year yet, I especially was glad to hear at the end of the video where you said you have scrapped videos while at an event or even once you got home because it wasn't right. That helped me feel that some of what we've done is normal. 😄

[@janeclay9684]

Looking forward to your travels! Thank you for this 😊

[@sviola223]

Thank you for this! Love your channel and how not only are you informative but so real and down to earth. 😊❤️

[@sakuranokunoichi]

Shout out to your editing work! It really conveys your personality and the places you visit.

[@jinnylinny84]

Definitely want to go to Dollywood! Used to live in the South (Alabama) and never made it up there. Now I’m in California and you’ve inspired me to want to get to that area! Looks absolutely beautiful in Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg!!! Love your content!!! And love all the unique places you take us to!!!

[@amandahodey]

Would love to meet you both either in Florida, as we took the leap earlier this year to buy a place out there, or in Swindon at a match as we live 10-miles from there 😁

[@KingOfPizzaNDJoy]

Oh I love that you said Anthony Bourdain, Sam Brown, and Rick Steves... you are sooooooo much like me and look young enough to be well I don't wanna say other than good job! Perfect Line of work, you look wealthy and Sam is a seriously good man.

[@Yey1nasJourneys]

Jackie, it’s honor knowing you and watching your channel grow! I’m watching right now and it’s awesome how this has grown for you. Proof that watering and patience and your kindness pays off. Here’s to many more years of success and happiness for you 🥂🫶🏻. Ps: yes, scuba diving- dooo itttt 😊 I can see you doing an underwater Vlog on an island, camping and swimming with sea turtles (ok, I’ll admit, that’s been one of my dreams to do lol)

[@SuperEnthused]

Sweet Alma, you are the kindest soul and I will forever be grateful to know you through this crazy journey!! Ok you're motivating me, maybe one day I'll try scuba diving haha!! I hope you do too, you'll give me bravery lol!

[@nancyinsinga4607]

Hi guys enjoyed hearing all about your channel watch you all the time love every video and your excitement for what you do is awesome

[@kyrademore5824]

Dollywood and the Smoky Mountains is one of my favorite places to visit, too, especially in the fall! There's a special vibe there that I can't really explain. Anyway, thank you for your channel! I appreciate it so much!

[@angelaterranova1577]

This was so fun Jackie getting a behind the scenes peek and chat! I found you during the pandemic and instantly liked your personality and vlog style and have watched ever since! Keep up the great work!

[@tripolitrx]

Loved this getting to know you vid, been watching your channel a while but hadn't noticed them before. Love your content and your whole vibe, one of my fav Florida vloggers. Also here for Sam, I am English too living in the US now, love his perspective and view points. He seems a fellow tech nerd like myself also.

[@frankbingham53]

Love this video super enthused and both you and Sam are always amazing in your videos.
