Day 5 | Florida Vlogs Feb '23 | Denny's Breakfast | Winter Park Boat Trip | Universal Studios

Hello Everyone! It's Tom and Paul! We're The Blokes From Stoke! Sharing our love of Disney, Universal, Theme Parks, Travel, Florida and Home.
Welcome to our Florida February 2023 Vlog series!
It's day five and it's a late start after all the fun of the night before. You join us as we head over to Denny's for breakfast. Let's have a look at what's on the menu and see what we ate for our hangover cure!
Then we have a little detour to one of the Universal resorts just to check out the lobby and a little of the pool area... we also discover some gators across the road!
It's then off to Winter Park for a slightly longer look around and we'll take you on the scenic boat trip! No spoilers from us in case you fancy doing it yourselves but we'll let you know how much we paid and if it was worth it...
The final few hours sees us back at Universal jumping on a couple of other rides that we missed earlier in the trip.So come along with us as the adventure continues!

Your banter is glorious! The one liners, the little side quips. 😂😂

[@TheBlokesFromStoke]

Hahaha cheers Rob! It’s definitely becoming a trademark…. But we’re totally like this off camera too! 😂😂

[@carolebrandt1134]

Would love to see you and Tom really cook dinner at home. Love your vlogs. We never miss any.

[@TheBlokesFromStoke]

Thanks Carole! Oh it’s not a pretty sight, believe us. It usually all starts with what we’re going to have to eat! 😂😂😂

[@kelcar1534]

How have I only just found your vlogs?! Love them. Can't wait to watch more- you keep me laughing x

[@TheBlokesFromStoke]

Hi Kel! Welcome on board the crazy train! Thanks for tuning in and hope you’ll stay with us for more madness!

[@Catriona223]

We did the boat tour many many years ago and it all looks the same. Love walking down Main Street in Winter Park, a lovely break from the hectic parks. Another great vlog from the loveliest most genuine couple, thanks for sharing 🤗🤗

[@TheBlokesFromStoke]

Thanks so much for your lovely comments Catrina! So glad you enjoyed the change of pace in this episode! We loved the trip and the escape from the bubble! Great to have you with us!

[@carolmandeville16]

Hi Paul and Thomas, Dennys looks good for breakfast, we have been to Winter Parks and did the boat ride so it was lovely seeing it all again, we are off very very soon so getting excited now, I wish you both well, take care, love Carol.

[@TheBlokesFromStoke]

Thanks so much Carol. It was a wonderful experience and something completely different. Loved the houses, the scenery and the tour guide was excellent! Really glad we decided to do it!

[@Garrie0810]

That breakfast at Denys looked lovely. Great video gents

[@TheBlokesFromStoke]

Thank you! Yeah it was delicious. Always too much food tho!

[@davinaweller6163]

Wow those houses on winter park lake are gorgeous . Great vlog guys ❤❤xx

[@TheBlokesFromStoke]

Oh they’re beautiful aren’t they Davina! Definitely some money about!!! There’s also a college on the lake too! Thanks for coming along with us!

[@chrisstevehardy7058]

Hi guys we love Denny’s xxxxx and love your vlogs love Steve xxxx

[@TheBlokesFromStoke]

Hiya! Folks! Thanks so much! We really enjoyed the breakfast! Hangover not so much! 😂😂😂😂

[@amandadodgson2444]

What a great day at Winter Park...it was lovely and a different activity all together. The toy department in Walgreens was definitely not your thing..lol. Universal was amazing all lit up. Cant wait for the shopping next vlog...

[@TheBlokesFromStoke]

Thank you Amanda! We always try to do something a little different so we’re pleased you enjoyed it! Yeah the toy department isn’t so much fun sometimes! Cheers for coming to play!

[@garybrown2627]

Love Denny’s ..Lumber Jack slam ma very fav ..class boys 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@TheBlokesFromStoke]

Ooh we’ll have to try that one Gary!! Cheers for joining us!

[@TheGardenChamberPlus]

"Judith Chalmers" 😂 caught us of guard. Great vlog chaps, as always. Really setting us up for our trip, only 18 days to go!! Suitcases might be packed (since March ) Have a good week. 👍

[@TheBlokesFromStoke]

Whoooooo not long to go for you! Oh Judith Chalmers is always with us… but it’s more like “Glad you’re not here!” Thanks for coming to play!

[@shauntaylor-mcdermott8734]

Great vlog guys..only been to Denny’s once,and really enjoyed it..have a great weekend 👍

[@TheBlokesFromStoke]

Thanks Shaun! It was delicious… not sure if the slight hangover contributed to that though!!!! Have a great weekend too!

[@fionakennedy8465]

Love spider!!

[@TheBlokesFromStoke]

It’s probably our favourite too!!!!

[@clarebarnett6140]

Brilliant vlog! Hilarious and informative as usual! Watched the premier on my own but will watch again with the gang tonight 🎉❤

[@TheBlokesFromStoke]

Awwwww cheers Claire! Just remember to laugh in all the right places 😂😂😂😂 Thanks and have a wonderful weekend!

[@martynfulcher7386]

Just come home today from Florida we stayed in universal surfside and we ate in the same Denny’s as you ate in , just catching up on your vlogs me and mrs F love watching them . We’ve also just entered your competition 😊😊 🤞🏼 🤞🏼. From Martyn and Paula .

[@TheBlokesFromStoke]

Hi Martyn! Hope you’ve had a great trip! Can’t beat a bit of Denny’s! Thank you for coming along on our trip and best of luck with the giveaway!!!

[@paulorourke4315]

Great vlog! God the breakfast finishes very early at the hotel 9.30.

[@TheBlokesFromStoke]

Cheers Paul! Yeah it’s a strange time to finish, but think it’s because there’s only a limited choice. It’s a small eating area and probably only a couple of staff to manage it…,

[@juliepatch2718]

Another fab vlog, love a Dennys! Moons over my hammy is my first choice 😍 xx

[@TheBlokesFromStoke]

Oooh thanks Julie! That sounds very interesting! We loved the food and helped with the hangover! Cheers for coming with us!

[@ThemeParkBazza]

Love the Dennys all American slam. It just worked out that it was November 2021, the last time we visited

[@TheBlokesFromStoke]

….but it doesn’t match the Million Dollar Bacon!!!!

[@mele7417]

Love dennys had a brisket sandwich, it was lush

[@TheBlokesFromStoke]

oooh we love a bit of brisket Mel! Lots of yummy stuff on that menu! Thanks for coming with us!

[@darrenwilson8531]

Spent the whole weekend watching you vlogs, now I have just booked 2 week in Orlando

[@TheBlokesFromStoke]

Awwww cheers Darren! Have an amazing time when it comes around!!!

[@darrenwilson8531]

Thank you, found a deal with tui on the 18th sep can’t wait,

[@BobandKellyGo]

Nice to see you both got a good ‘ol American slam 😂 The boat ride looked lovely, I didn’t even know they did that in Winter Garden. I could absolutely go for a couple of those houses there! But cha Ching! $$$ I always like checking out other resorts. We’ve stayed at Surfside before a cruise once and really liked it! 🥰

[@TheBlokesFromStoke]

Thank you folks! You know we like to be down with the locals 😂😂😂 Very impressed with that little boat tour. It was well worth the money but not good at all for home envy…. Some massive properties! There are so many more places we’d like to stay so thought we’d have a nosey. Cheers for coming along!

[@wayney180]

Love your videos. It gets us excited for our Florida holiday in September thanks. Wayne & Lindsay x

[@TheBlokesFromStoke]

Thank you so much folks!! Glad you enjoyed this one. Some different experiences and a nice little change from the parks! Hopefully see you next week!

[@leejon8716]

sharp as a tack

[@TheBlokesFromStoke]

Hahah thanks!!! Although we’re not great with DIY 😂😂

[@Al........]

PMSL, I 've just had full fat Coke and Paracetamol... and a couple of Maccyd hash browns to soak it all up. Have a lovely weekend chaps. X

[@TheBlokesFromStoke]

Ooooh still love the Golden Arches hash browns best! Thanks for coming to play with us and have a great weekend too!

[@BKTrippin]

We stayed in the Surfside side of that resort. Facility is great, walls wafer thin! So take some earplugs!

[@TheBlokesFromStoke]

😂😂😂😂 Oh goodness! We won’t ask what you could hear 😂😂😂 It was a great resort!

[@jadelivermore5076]

We took a rain check on Denny’s this year after the eye roll we got last year when we dared ask for a spoon to stir my coffee!!! How amazing did those houses look over the water, intrigued who lives there?? But you definitely were the youngest on the boat ride. And Spider-Man is way better than Transformers

[@TheBlokesFromStoke]

😂😂😂😂 Don’t you know you’re supposed to take your own stirrer Jade! 😂😂 Yeah we’re eyeing up those houses as a possible weekend retreat… don’t tell anyone tho! We did have fun and didn’t feel that old! Thank you for coming with us… and we probably prefer Spider Man too!

[@bobgeorge8326]

We love Denny’s for breakfast but our fave these days is Keke’s !!

[@TheBlokesFromStoke]

Ooooh a Keke sounds like our kind of thing Bob! Maybe we’ll have to put that on the list for next time!

[@kevpearson2629]

Hi guys,just watched your latest video,we go to orlando in 3 weeks time,staying at endless summer dockside,its our 2nd time at this hotel and we absolutely love it,the pools are fab and the rooms are quite spacious, only downside is there isn't much storage space in the room,so paul you can't take as many clothes 😅.we are also going to do the winter park boat ride as it looks beautiful. Thanks for the videos guys,very entertaining as usual,keep up the good work.

[@TheBlokesFromStoke]

Morning Kev! Thanks for coming along with us! We were really impressed with the lobby and the nearby facilities. Thanks for the heads up on room space… but it’s actually naughty Tom who fills his case to capacity and packs for EVERY eventuality! Does anyone need 9 pairs of shoes on holiday? 😂😂😂

[@kevpearson2629]

Haha,does he think he's an octopus 🐙 🤣, it's a very good location and the buses to universal and volcano bay are very good, never waited more than 5 minutes for transport, we also used users and Itrolley to get about,looking forward to next week's vlog😀😀

[@seancotter4610]

I’m a bit of a health freak, so haven’t tried Denny’s before. In saying that it looked lovely. I’m a big fan of Endless Summer. Highly recommend it as I’ve stayed there twice and it’s good value. Aventura is also great, especially if you’re a couple. I’ve booked it for a few nights in September before we head over to Disney. It’s also great value and you can walk to the parks within 15 minutes.

[@TheBlokesFromStoke]

Thanks for joining us Sean! Oooh we tend to not understand the word health when we’re in the states 😂😂😂 We’re definitely looking in to the universal resort options for the future so will have a closer look at Aventura…. Just need to decide when to go back! 🤭🤭🤭

[@seancotter4610]

@@TheBlokesFromStoke Go back soon, I need the vlogs!!! We are trying September for the first time, it’s meant to be dead quiet. It used to be in January but this year it was so busy. I also booked for May 2024 🫣 Yes, I do have a problem. Thankfully my husband shares my Orlando addiction 😂

[@TheBlokesFromStoke]

@@seancotter4610 It’s not classed as a problem…. It’s called therapy! 😂😂

[@yvonneforrest5218]

Loving your vlogs 😂 we are staying at Windsor Hills villa and 4 nights at endless summer dock side in September ❤

[@TheBlokesFromStoke]

Oooh that sounds lovely Yvonne! Hope you’re excited! Thank you for coming to play with us!!

[@raebirchall7896]

Always enjoy a meal at Dennys although our favourite for breakfast is Perkins don't know if you have been? you made me laugh about Judith Chalmers as when my parents were alive my father always used to want my mother to get her hair done like Judith Chalmers.

[@TheBlokesFromStoke]

Oooh we’ll have to try Perkins Rae! Thanks for the tip! There’s another place we visit in the series finale so see what you think…. Awww Judith Chalmers. She was always a travel icon! Thank you for coming along with us!

[@rachohara]

Looks like a fun day!! We love Dennys, it's tradition for us to have breakfast there on our first day 😊

[@TheBlokesFromStoke]

We loved it!!! Thought it was decent value too and really tasty. It’s always about that bacon tho!! Thank you for coming with us…

[@spoons165]

Thank you for showing different things to do we get so fed up sometimes with vlogs of the Disney rides, poor Tom you do take some stick lol, if you could only visit one place where would that be ? keep safe Andy and Vonnie

[@TheBlokesFromStoke]

Hiya folks! Thank you for coming on this slightly different day! We always try to bring you something a bit different so glad you enjoyed this…. Hmmmm only visiting one place is a challenge! Possibly Clearwater beach where we got engaged?

[@janesewell2843]

Always Denny’s for breakfast on our first morning ❤

[@TheBlokesFromStoke]

We’ll definitely be going back Jane! Thanks for joining us!

[@ganymedes62]

We're definitely not into Denny's, our first stop is always Waffle House 🙂 Our 'local' one is just a 15-20 minutes drive away and we tend to go there about once a week. Come June, we'll be going straight home first, though, as I'll have to put my Dutch cheese in the fridge 😆

[@TheBlokesFromStoke]

Ooh we’ve not tried a waffle house yet but we should do!!! Thank you for joining us though!

[@ganymedes62]

@@TheBlokesFromStoke Seeing what you've ordered at Denny's, you'll be fine at WH 🙂 My friend's usual recipe is double hashbrowns with 3 scrambled eggs, a side of bacon (crispy, of course), a side of sausage paddies and a coke. I tend to stick to hashbrowns with onion, mushrooms, ham, a side of bacon and a coke. Between the two of us we generally come out at around $30, including tip 🙂

[@leejon8716]

Will you tell tom to stop marching off in front of you lol😂😂

[@TheBlokesFromStoke]

😂😂😂😂 He’s running away from the terrible jokes 😂😂😂

[@janetali6102]

A great vlog. Do you still get bottomless coffees at Danny's?😊

[@TheBlokesFromStoke]

Morning Janet. Yes think the coffees were still refillable as she did come back and keep topping up. Thank you for joining us!

[@klt61627]

Which do you prefer/recommend…….Denny’s or IHOP?

[@TheBlokesFromStoke]

Oooh they’re probably both worth a little trip, but possibly Denny’s had the end he for us… however, wait til the series finale…. We have another breakfast to show you!

[@smallbirdbrain]

much love from florida! ❤️ i was wondering what camera do you use? thank you!!

[@TheBlokesFromStoke]

Hello! Thanks for coming to play with us! We have an iPhone 14pro and we also have a Canon G7X MK2. We’re still trying to get better at our camera technique so please forgive us for any shakiness! 😂😂
