FLORIDA DISNEY WORLD VLOG: Premium Outlets Orlando, IHOP, Universal Studios & The Boathouse ☀️ 🇺🇸

FLORIDA FEBRUARY 2024 Day Four!
We start our day at Windsor Hills Resort before jumping in the car and heading to Starbucks on International drive for a morning coffee! After escaping the rain we head to IHOP for breakfast which was lovely food and amazing value with some gorgeous breakfast pancakes!
After filling up we hit the road to Orlando Premium Outlets for some cheap outlet shopping at the Vineland locations, including the Disney Character Warehouse discount store.
After some bargains, we went to Universal Orlando Resort, where we had some major problems with our Annual Passes that we didnt expect! We tried to ride some rides but it was just too busy during the Winter Break week!
After a disaster but good time at Universal Orlando we head to Disney Springs for a meal at The Boathouse Restaurant- was it worth the money?

[@TheJohnp76]

Sorry you had the hassle with the Annual pass etc. At least you didn’t have to do the too-ing and throwing in the September heat!

[@alisonwarke2004]

[@femalereddevil]

Definitely addictive!

[@TheKnightStrider]

Yes 🙌🏼

[@lindascotland]

We do love The Boathouse,love sitting outside though on the terrace.One of my fav burgers was there.

[@TheKnightStrider]

Thanks so much, lots to come 😊🙌🏼

[@user-fj5jp8zu8f]

Hi Andrew your dad's tired what a lovelly man he's so funny that bed looks so comfy great video shame about the weather enjoy every minute👍🥰🏌️

[@TheKnightStrider]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@lindascotland]

I love the Horror Make Up Show,I was that "volunteer" on the stage back in 2008😳

[@TheKnightStrider]

I know! All changed

[@robertjiggins9435]

HI there, enjoying the vlogs ! your spot on about wanting to go back to florida its great ! we did the trip October 2023 loved it stayed opposite icon park Enjoy😎

[@TheKnightStrider]

Thank you 😊 so much to come!

[@TheJohnp76]

Can throughly recommend Morimoto Asia In Disney springs, especially for the Peking Duck, it’s absolutely phenomenal.

[@yoms]

Can confirm the Gideon’s cookies are absolutely sublime BUT you have to get a pot of frosting too to dip them in for absolute peak cookie heaven!! Also, if you’ve ever seen an episode of S.A.T.C you’ll know Laura is absolutely correct when it comes to shoes!

[@TheKnightStrider]

I cant wait that long

[@ldtipler]

Nobody does Florida vlogs like Andrew got me looking at booking the next trip

[@TheKnightStrider]

Wow Thanks so much, lots to come 😊🙌🏼

[@kwright8277]

Aw you should have jumped in that Gideon’s queue at the end. That would have been 10-15min tops. The banana bread cookie is worth any queue 🤤😍

[@TheKnightStrider]

Lol one day

[@louiseclarke9234]

As always excellent vlogging your hard work definitely shows! We gonna have to have an ocean attack now 🦈 😂.. shame about boathouse we did paddlefish last year and had a similar experience I think they get too busy and just can’t keep up ! Will defo try summerhouse though it looked lovely ! Hope you are all enjoying the sunshine now after all that rain 🙈 it was funny though 😂 honestly you guys are our favourite ❤️

[@TheKnightStrider]

Thanks so much, lots to come 😊🙌🏼

[@coopapalooza]

Yes folks. Love it! Can’t wait till it’s our turn! 3 week stay. Are you doing Kennedy this trip?

[@TheKnightStrider]

Not sure yet 😊

[@sandraellard4042]

Agree 100% Andrew, Orlando is sooooo addictive! We went on our honeymoon in 1997 and have been going back ever since ❤ Loving the vlogs, thank you for sharing 👍

[@TheKnightStrider]

It really is!

[@michaelmcburney4489]

Shopping? Poor Garvey. I feel his pain. 😆

[@TheKnightStrider]

Lol 😆

[@eunicehowell]

Great vlog last night Andrew you mum and dad look like they are having a great time. Such a shame about the boathouse we went years ago and my husband still talks about it, think we’re put off it now and fancy giving summer house a try. We also fancy splitsville as we’ve never been is it good

[@TheKnightStrider]

Thanks so much, lots to come 😊🙌🏼

[@lendopson8339]

We were with you ref your frustration of the car parking charge. Although ya dad laughing at you was priceless! :) All turned out well in the end, and getting the three months free on your annual passes actually worked out better for you. Glad you stuck with it, and eventually got ya $30.00 back as it's these little things that kind of irritate, and put a slight 'damper' on things (The principle) It was lovely to see you brighten up as the weather has done so too! Ref the Boathouse, we all have not so good restaurant experiences from time to time, and we see doing so as bit of a waste of stomach space. But lesson you learnt for us watching, is to defo go at a quieter time to that particular restaurant, then I'm sure it would be fine, and the chips would be hot. Maybe try it again earlier, and get a seat outside.....Stride On! Len :)

[@shirleyanncoombs2536]

Totally agree with you guys florida is a addiction. Me and hubby do just the same as you both. Xx

[@TheKnightStrider]

Thank you 😊

[@ady6660]

Great vlog as usual guys, glad you got your US parking sorted By the way, I think there is a Gideons at Winter Park if I remember rightly, should be more accessible than Disney Springs. 🇺🇸

[@TheKnightStrider]

Thanks for the info!

[@denamayes3219]

Yes ! I have Christian Louboutin boots. Never worn them! Investment !

[@TheKnightStrider]

Dont say that lol 😆

[@sharonturner5893]

6th time to florida in november Love it ❤

[@TheKnightStrider]

Woop 🙌🏼

[@calvinliu6304]

Hello hope you have a good time in Florida Orlando

[@TheKnightStrider]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@killieboyd]

Horror show is amazing!

[@TheKnightStrider]

It is!

[@courtneyceasar7878]

Any plans on you guys throwing beads from one of Universal's mardi gras floats? It's loads of fun!

[@TheKnightStrider]

Thanks so much, lots to come 😊🙌🏼

[@adamboro35]

Great vlog guys , I’m so torn with Orlando at present, haven’t been back since 2018, and went every other year since 1991 , just feel the prices are crazy to the point of , if you will pardon the pun “been taken for a ride” , when you came out of the Boathouse it summed up my feelings perfectly, overcharged, ignored and underwhelmed…but we always look back with rose tinted spectacles and pick out those little moments to make us feel better, those shareholders must be laughing their head off at us. That’s what’s stops me now I feel 90% Mug , used to be 50/50 😂. Great vlogs though guys 👍🏻👍🏻

[@janetteno3]

Fab blog we have been to the same I Hop many times and we love it. Disney Springs not so keen it is very expensive

[@TheKnightStrider]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@dianeprice5798]

Hiya guys, great vlog, beautiful bag Laura, we like IHOP and Denys as well for breakfast.sometimes you can get a bargain in outlets. But we do like going there, mostly going to Disney springs. I don't think I would wait that long for a cookie even if they are Fantastic, I stick to my doughnuts yum. Hope you're all having a fantastic time and enjoy 👍

[@TheKnightStrider]

Thank you 😊 IHOP great value! so much to come!

[@craigwhitworth2597]

I reckon we lucked out last year in FEB, 8 days 25-27 degrees everyday, no rain at all - i was looking out for a good thunder storm

[@TheKnightStrider]

Very 😊☀️

[@susanmcloughlin3930]

Definitely with the laura with the shoes loved the bags laura bought great video sorry don't think food looked the best thanks laura and Andrew mum and dad enjoy ❤❤

[@TheKnightStrider]

Dont say that lol 😆

[@susandobson6211]

We got the gold and black Starbucks cups last week too 🤩 bargain 🤩

[@TheKnightStrider]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@stephlloyd-bibby5794]

Just caught up, did you not take your meal back, I bet after the wait thou you was all probably hungry, I’m with Laura on the shoes put them on display, love the shopping trips. Thank you for bringing us with you 🎉

[@karenbethell4758]

Poor mum and dad look shattered.. I think they need to stick to a relaxing cruise in future 😂😂.. Andrew and Laura definitely shop aholics 😂… some amazing things but how many socks does one guy need! Where do they all go? 😮❤

[@TheKnightStrider]

Mum and Dad are happy 😃 Thanks so much, lots to come 😊🙌🏼

[@allisonsproule3335]

We agree with you Andrew florida is addictive. We are going February next year. Been lucky to have been three times

[@TheKnightStrider]

Thanks so much, lots to come 😊🙌🏼

[@robertburr4202]

Hi Andrew and Laura on the never gonna go again theme ….. we first went to Florida with the kids in 1995, when we came home we said never again! 13 theme park visits in 14 days we were absolutely shattered 🥺🥺😤 we booked again and went 2 years later lol, gluttons for punishment! Now we are booked for May, for the 11th time, for 3 weeks! 68 days and counting …..Very addictive

[@TheKnightStrider]

Thanks so much, lots to come 😊🙌🏼

[@lukelfc8756]

I have just got back and I totally agree the bargains aren’t the same unless you get lucky and they have something amazing like I got air Jordan’s for £38 but they were the only pair in my size otherwise the cheapest shoe was £60 but I did spend £150 on project rock gear in under armour

[@user-jv5vq8yk4j]

Florida is a very addictive place to visit , we have been i think 14 times . Took my very "fussy " parents a few years agon and even my father said it is the one place he would love to go back to although his health just wont allow now.

[@TheKnightStrider]

Awesome 🤩

[@allisonsproule3335]

Can't wait our family are taken a lot of your advice. Our last time 2008 ..

[@TheKnightStrider]

You got this!

[@tracyross2115]

I love the outlets for shopping, my husband prefers the flea market at Sanford. There’s def no flies on him. 😂

[@TheKnightStrider]

Oh no!

[@amysaunders3990]

I’m with Laura organising the socks my partner has all black socks but some are from Next and have a black N on, some are longer, some have an elasticated edge it’s a pain 🤣🤣

[@TheKnightStrider]

Hahaha so true lol

[@monicahatch9182]

enjoyed

[@TheKnightStrider]

Thanks so much, lots to come 😊🙌🏼

[@DreamingOfHolidays]

Great vlog, breakfast looked delicious -I adore Laura’s bag from Kate Spade - right up my street 💜👜 any chance you could take us round some of the universal hotels - take the boat over to them, I love a wee nosey round the hotels 🛥️

[@TheKnightStrider]

Thanks so much, lots to come 😊🙌🏼will do!!

[@pennybaxter4]

Hi Andrew, Laura ,Garvey and Lidia “ It’s beautiful to see your all living your best life on hols in Florida, by the way Im totally onboard with Dad about sooty & sweep , we have a toy Dog called penny Baxter and she travels every with us .my mum makes her clothes “ she has Lacoste and stone island garments lol 😂. Im 53 . Have the best time I hope the weather brightens up . Regards Philip

[@TheKnightStrider]

Thanks for the tips!

[@louisedalton792]

You need to get to Orlando Market Place almost across from deezerland and basspro. Cheap bargins in under armour and nike were great when we went

[@TheKnightStrider]

Thanks so much, lots to come 😊🙌🏼

[@ilsehunt6798]

I had a bad experience at universal studio and got very cross with them and haven’t been back since ! The customer service was appalling! It’s been so long I can no longer remember what happened , old timers disease lol! It must have been bad ! Love Kate spade as well ! Enjoy x

[@TheKnightStrider]

Thats a shame! We got given the runaround that day

[@anitahicksanitahicks9818]

I remember the shark 😊

[@TheKnightStrider]

Yes 🙌🏼

[@mickyg1959]

It might be worth telling people that if they have a uk military defence discount card, it can be used in any us store that gives U S military discount.

[@TheKnightStrider]

Thank you 😊 so much to come! Hit the subscribe 🙌🏼

[@sippycup1313]

You mean to tell me you guys weren’t UOAP at all?! I feel so lied to! So betrayed!!..😂😂😂😂😂

[@TheKnightStrider]

Hahaha yes we were 😂

[@sharongreene3517]

Yessss laura is right…they are for display purposes only💁🏻‍♀️💁🏻‍♀️some handbags too💁🏻‍♀️👏🏻😂

[@TheKnightStrider]

Hahaha lol 😆

[@courtneyceasar7878]

Flordia is addictive! We have a trip for June and October & of course we are already looking at 2025 for Epic Universe!

[@TheKnightStrider]

For sure 👌🏼

[@killieboyd]

Boathouse restaurant is really good

[@TheKnightStrider]

We thought it was average for the price, especially the noisy atmosphere

[@NaturalBlonde]

Go to gideons at winter park as there’s never a queue and it’s quiet plus it’s the original location. Also try fat burger at celebration that’s just opened and they do gf for Laura too x

[@TheKnightStrider]

Thanks so much, lots to come 😊🙌🏼 went to fat burgers and left, basically a McDonalds

[@rosemarie9956]

So much fun watching you guys and I think your parents did great for a long busy day! Will have to look at that 14 day option Would love to have an annual pass but how do you get around it if not a Florida resident?? Anyway yes I hate the parking- just spent 120 USD on it. YES the cookies are worth the wait!! Ha ha

[@TheKnightStrider]

Thank you 😊 so much to come!

[@andrewandnancysfloridaadve3735]

There is a second Gideon’s location in Orlando where queues nowhere near as bad as

[@TheKnightStrider]

Long drive for a cookie

[@user-oe3gw4fg3j]

Hi Andrew & Laura, love the vlogs. Just wanted to ask a question, can you buy a one day pass for Universal Studios? X

[@TheKnightStrider]

Yes around $140

[@mustafadurmaz375]

❤❤❤

[@TheKnightStrider]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@allisonsproule3335]

We are definitely laid back

[@TheKnightStrider]

Yes 🙌🏼 nice way

[@callumhoward8122]

Can’t believe you didn’t go on any rides!!

[@TheKnightStrider]

All over an hour wait! We refuse to wait that long

[@brianman6788]

Andrew ask mum&dad do they remember Starsky&Hutch? Watching pilot episode from 1975 while waiting latest vlog come up on KZbin on Saturday have fun&enjoy👍

[@TheKnightStrider]

Yes they do lol

[@brianman6788]

@@TheKnightStrider Thanks Andrew off to sleep😴

[@tracyross2115]

On the plus side ques for the rides should be shorter. Have you ever eaten at ponderosa. We used to get breakfast there a lot.

[@deborahjohnson8015]

Videos are great !! So sorry you were not happy with the Boathouse . We have only been in the early afternoon and always had great service and meals . I'm with you Andrew , I just don't understand the big deal about the cookies !!

[@TheKnightStrider]

Thanks for the tips!

[@yvonnejamieson2499]

My mum said never again for orlando. Breaks my heart but myself n the wee man have the bug. Next trip is booked for November 😊

[@TheKnightStrider]

Thank you 😊 so much to come!

[@carolharrison7765]

I'm shocked at how expensive Florida has become, was last there 30 years ago and it's interesting how much the theme parks have changed😂 It seems you're spending over 300 dollars a day on food alone! but at least you got some cheap socks😉😂

[@TheKnightStrider]

Yes its gone pricey now

[@vickyhesson5720]

Starbucks cup great price. I paid $30 for a silver one in MK November. 😮

[@TheKnightStrider]

Wow 😯

[@kathrickaby3951]

Got some good bargains in under armour and columbia and downloaded the app and got extra %off. Colombia fleece was $21 dollars and its so comfy and warm

[@TheKnightStrider]

Thank you 😊 so much to come! Hit the subscribe 🙌🏼

[@allanmackay699]

The line for Gideons when you left the boathouse was 5 mins max. The earlier queue was 20 mins max. The door staff always exagerate.

[@TheKnightStrider]

Its only a cookie lol

[@anitahicksanitahicks9818]

Ha ha andrew not clever now 😂

[@TheKnightStrider]

Lol 😂

[@user-lb4sk8qn8k]

Come on guys it’s $30! It’s the daily Starbs bill

[@TheKnightStrider]

Exactly so why would you just waste $30 when we can get it back 😂 you must be minted if you can waste $30 for the sake of a 20 min queue…

[@user-lb4sk8qn8k]

Really enjoying the series so far though.

[@jackiepower1681]

I believe there is another Gideon's on Corrine Drive. I don't think there are queues like Disney Springs.

[@TheKnightStrider]

Very far away for a cookie

[@femalereddevil]

That’s disappointing about your Boathouse visit. I’ve only ever been late lunch time and it was amazing. The last time the waiter was superb.

[@TheKnightStrider]

We wouldnt go back
