Florida June 2023 Day 13: Disney Animal Kingdom Lodge Resort Hotel & Kennedy Space Center! 🇺🇸

Join us for an action packed day in Florida, starting off at the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, enjoying a full day at the center, showing all of the exhibits and experiences available in an out of this world experience!
In the afternoon we check in to Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge Resort to experience a night in a luxury DVC Disney Vacation Club member room with stunning Savanna and animal Views! We show the room, the resort and experience some of the unique things on offer such as roasted marshmallows! Our first ever stay in a Disney World Resort.
For dinner we head to somewhere we have never tried before, Wing Stop on the 192! They have a variety of Chicken and Wings available and we could see why it was so popular with locals and tourists! After a nice bite to eat we relax in the Hot Tub at the Resort under a thunder storm!

Unfortunately the video is still processing into 4K quality, youtube is getting slower and slower these days! Check back later or tomorrow 👍🏽😊

[@suetaft9002]

Thank you! Looking forward to seeing it in 4K

[@BigBilly-io3kf]

Mick Garvey’s enthusiasm and knowledge made this a real treat. I’ve never visited Kennedy Space Center during my trips to Florida, but I’ve been to the Johnson Space Center in Houston (Texas), which is older, and is so fascinating. MG was the perfect companion to bring. Seeing an actual launch must be amazing!

[@stacymckenna3269]

What a fab vlog! This is something I wouldn't have been bothered about going to , but now watching this and listening to your dads knowledge and the way you vlogged it has made me so interested couldn't stop watching and listening. Thank you so much for doing this brill!!

[@markseddon9616]

Loved watching Mick go round KSC. Took my dad about 10 years ago. He’s a similar age. He loved it too

[@RamblingVlogger]

I love coming along with you two! You make us feel like we are there with you and I enjoy that so much! It was so nice to see Garvey in his happy place and like a kid!

[@danielhankey1991]

I watched a launch from those stands in 2018. Didn't have to buy a separate pass back then

[@stephenwhetham5466]

Where can I get tickets for Siam night cos I reckon this club canary is a scam and I’ve jus bought tickets on there

[@BlastTheBeatTV]

You forgot to put Gareth’s KZbin channel in the description mate

[@leewilson2719]

Hi your videos have inticed us to book are first trip over to florida for 14 days totally looking forward to it any advise

[@martinjones5265]

I actually find your dad interesting to listen to when giving facts, big up mick garvey

[@TheKnightStrider]

Thank you! Lots to come, hit the subscribe 😊👍🏽

[@martinjones5265]

Also booked florida last night from watching your vlogs 🤣

[@suzanneford6586]

This is an awesome vlog 😍👍 your Dad’s knowledge is incredible 🤯👏

[@carolmorgan4956]

Just catching up loved this one and the space centre would love to go there

[@KeithLinda-w7p]

Are the tickets card only, or is there a cash booth

[@amandadodgson2444]

Really appreciate your Dads depth of knowledge about space...AK is amazing..thanx again...😊 Food for thought, would you ever consider a DVC? 😮❤😊

[@Rollerskater71]

I cannot believe it that you set your Dad up with the quote “it shows you where Uranus is” and he didn’t follow up with an innuendo reply - poor, very poor! 😂😂😂

[@cranneyfivefam7416]

Aww your dad is lovely giving all that info her certainly knows his stuff thanks x great vlog really enjoyed it x

[@LauraBishop-o2x]

Quality is poor on this video

[@davidbott3826]

Animal lodge looks awesome, Jackie's wish list Disney hotel and it was great to see the inside, so yes big thanks and a 👍🏻to Gareth for allowing you to use the lodge for a night 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@paulsopes4501]

Fantastic episode today Andrew. Dad was great and so knowledgeable. I haven’t visited Kennedy since the early nineties it looks amazing now. Keep up the great work mate 👍

[@staceywoods7975]

Loved this vlog. Made me want to go to Kennedy, loved Paul's facts, fascinating that place. Then animal kingdom lodge, just looks brilliant 😊

[@JosephRawsthorne31]

I saw STS-128 it was a midnight launch and it was awesome, the Americans are crazy and so patriotic but I guess thats what symbolises America ❤️

[@junemccann5981]

I remember visiting The Kennedy space centre and seeing my son's face made my day at it. Brilliant vlog Andrew. You can see how much your dad enjoyed it. 🥰🌞🥰Xxx

[@victoriarattray9476]

Love the Kennedy Space centre, visited twice before and each time was just fascinating. One of the highlights of my Florida trips

[@tonybrown6573]

Great Vlog series. Loved MGs knowledge and love for all things 🚀🛰.. Looked like an amazing visit to KSC 👍

[@trudyjohnson7893]

Absolutely loving your videos Andrew, what a treat. Haven’t been back to the parks since 2015 and things have changed a lot. You are so informative and enjoyable, loving Laura and your Dad ❤

[@ScottFit]

I have heard a lot of places in Florida aren’t accepting cash is this true? we are away in October so just curious

[@TheKnightStrider]

Accepting both

[@ScottFit]

One more question do we need to be fully covid vaccinated for going over or is it all finished now?

[@1955A]

Brilliant Andrew. Loved your dads knowledge. Hes not sad writing to Jim.ll fix it. I grew up watching the Moon landing and wrote to President Nixon for a photo and the astronauts autographs. Actually got a postcard from them which was amazing. Still got it . A piece of hustory. Learnt a lot from your vlog and i agree how much uts changed. Was 1996 when i last went. ❤

[@rossmackenzie7490]

Hi, I would like to go to Orlando next year do I need more than 3000 pounds for 6 weeks for accommodation, parks, and transportation by the public, food? Does people from UK passports holders visas to enter the USA for6 weeks

[@laurenjones5427]

We loved staying at AKL. We didn’t stay in a DVC room, just a normal one so we didn’t have the kitchen area like you guys and we had two large beds. If u stay again, make sure you take advantage of the evening extra magic hours. You can do this if you stay in a deluxe resort. Parks will change. Just so you know, because I’m sure there will be another time 😊

[@ajwajw5758]

Watching Mick Garvey enjoying the Kennedy Space Centre was fantastic! Would love to visit next time we go to Florida. Love all your vlogs 🫶

[@neilacharlesworth]

Great vlog, loved your dad's enthusiasm but he had the wrong president. It was George W Bush that ended the shuttle programme. He decided in 2004 but Obama was president when it happened.

[@raebirchall7896]

We had bought tickets on line in the UK for KSC for our visit last January but we had to cancel our trip with a week to go due to emergency surgery. We are due to go again January 2024 and my husband still wants to go to the space centre as we have not been for about 20 years. Your vlog has made the decision as there is so much to see since our last visit we will be going.

[@davidbott3826]

So glad your dad enjoyed the day , I was with him emotionally all the way 😊

[@stevenjackie7051]

Hi Andrew enjoyed the blog been to Kennedy 4 times and seen 2 launches did you visit the the large mirror with all the astronauts name engraved in the mirror so it looks like there names who were killed in space exploration are in the sky

[@eunicehowell]

Can I ask you how much it was to change your 14 day passes at Disney to an annual pass please and was it easy to do. Thanks

[@JC.Granma]

I have been caught out on a hot day and not being able to get a drink. Good tip to bring plenty.

[@mustafadurmaz375]

Thanks guys always enjoy watching your videos

[@T42Florida]

Loving this Florida vlog series 👍 you go to all the places we love, including the theme parks, but it's great to show that Florida has so much more to offer and huge variety of experiences. Super couple and I just love how Laura is with you, very funny and chilled 😉 I am quite new to this channel and will check out your back catalogue when I have done this series including Tenerife. Keep em coming guys 😀😀😀😀

[@TheKnightStrider]

More to come! 😊👍🏽🇺🇸

[@hettychadwick8560]

Great vlog very interesting thank you

[@christinestobbs774]

It would take about 9 months to get to Mars

[@beverleydavies9109]

Unable to watch it is blurred

[@JosephRawsthorne31]

Enterprise is in New York now.

[@PaulRankinYT]

Wow that’s even more than when I went in February Last year for Kennedy Space Centre, great video really enjoyed it I love the video and reveal of Atlantis such a cool experience, I remember being stood in the blue room with the pieces they have from the destroyed crafts and the music it really hits hard

[@hettychadwick8560]

Great vlog Andrew and Laura

[@lindascotland]

This is one my favourite vlogs you've done Andrew,it was so interesting from start to finish and your Dad's fascination and knowledge of NASA was lovely to watch,we haven't been to KSC since 1996,it's changed so much.How kind of Gareth gifting you a night in AKL,it's a stunning resort,we often go over Christmas for a look and a Boma breakfast,the hotel is stunning when the tree is up for Christmas.You would like seeing Wilderness Lodge too.We were gifted a 2 night DVC in the Poly too,loved it.

[@ali5on]

I haven't been here since 1993, OMG how much has changed. I watched a shuttle launch and I acquired a small piece of moon rock from our tour. Shout out to your dad, what a mind of information. I even shook hands with Buzz. also they are launching the first moon landing for 52 years!!!!!

[@tommyp1687]

Mick should apply for a job. Fountain of knowledge. Wasn’t going to but I’ll think I’ll visit this year 👍🏼

[@HolyFreakinDragonSlayer]

Absolutely brilliant, would Absolutely love to go here! .. I still believe the moon landing was one hollywood/ Stanley kuberic's finest creations

[@lucilleley1412]

Wow Amazing vlogg great to see so much history so very interesting we loved it . Garvey information was so good also. Lovely to see u all enjoying ueselfs as always . The animal kingdom looked amazing looked a great place to stop so different to on the main track. We are so very fortunate u take us all along on ur trips .we love them all thanks again guys x

[@rugbymania2002]

What app do you use when looking for hotels while in Orlando. I couldn't make it out when you were pricing Animal Kingdom? Ty

[@simonwebsdale2584]

Honest question. How did you not have tea at the resort on you’re first night in a Disney resort? We stayed there for 2 weeks back in 2013 when it was cheap in comparison when it included full free dining plan! Sanaa was one of the best meals I’ve had on Disney property, where as we felt like Jiko was overrated (and a massive rip off without that free dining). You’ve got some loyal followers to gift it, what a legend! Got to let Mick have a night there next time, looks like he loved it 👌🏻 Great vlog again

[@kellyh3743]

So loved this vlog. Two of my favourite places KSC and AKL. For next time - you must try Sanaa at Animal Kingdom Lodge for dinner. Amazing food and by the savannah! After a day at Animal Kingdom park, dinner at Sanaa is the perfect finish.

[@nicolaward1034]

Great vlog!! We love the Kennedy Space Centre & have visited a couple of times 🚀 We were lucky enough to see a shuttle launch STS-97 in 2000 and a rocket launch in 2019. It’s a fascinating place to visit. How lucky are you both to get to stay at Animal Kingdom Lodge, it looks spectacular 😍 xx

[@antoinettestam8647]

Great vlog, 😁 brings back memories from our trip last may. Next time i want your father to come with us. Great guy, loved his knowledge ❤

[@marieannejaimie]

Throughly enjoyed that vlog! After watching that my ideal companions at Kennedy Space would definitely be my Dad and Mick, similar ages and both knowledgable on the subject in hand. Brilliant Garvey, thanks for all the info 😊

[@eunicehowell]

Great one today Andrew and Laura. Your dad was so knowledgeable think I need him with us if we go there. When we go next year we’re staying at Port Orleans for three weeks can’t wait. Would love to stay at animal kingdom but yes very expensive. Your chicken looked really good

[@susanglasgow8992]

I worked for a top guy at an aerospace company and I once had a call from Buzz Aldren!!! Animal kingdom hotel looks awsome. Xx

[@ilsehunt6798]

They have night vision goggles at jambo house well worth doing and it’s free , around the fire they have a cultural representative telling African folk stories ! Lots of activities around the pool ! In Jiko they do a wine tasting for a fee very good at Jiko on a Wednesday I think ! We did lunch with a keeper over at kidani that was really good and worth the money . The pool is fantastic and Laura the pool barmaid is an absolute star . One of my favourite resorts .

[@pieeater_1983]

Enterprise is on Intrepid: Air, Sea and Space Museum which is moored on the Hudson River in New York

[@traceybentley]

We loved it at the space centre 🙌 there was supposed to be a launch when we were there in May/June 2022 but it got cancelled becos of the weather was gutted 😢 would recommend to all 👍

[@lorrainebutler6201]

thanks Andrew and Laura and mick, the vlog I was waiting for, deffo on my bucket list, and then the surprise of checking in to animal kingdom resort. on another trip to florida you could treat Laura and stay at Disney very beach resort, I think she'll like the turtles, I watched Tim and jen and Jackson a couple of years ago, just a thought. ❤

[@scottdorrington]

Hi Andrew and Laura loving the vlogs, over in florida at the moment and remembered you went to ab amazing watch shop last year can you remember where it is?? 😮

[@alanheisenberggascoigne7938]

me and my mother seen the Atlantis launch from here, the sight and the noise will stay with us 4 ever.. a fantastic experience. i will be back..

[@davidbott3826]

I'm like your dad , I was a big space fan being born in 1959 and grew up in the Apollo space programme , and just like Paul wanted to be an astronaut, so when I visited Kennedy space center in 1999 I was totally made up , planning to go back in 2025 as so much has been added since then . Great to see via your vlog , thank you 👍🏻

[@louiseclarke9234]

Loved this ! We are planing to visiting Kennedy Space Center again next year we not been for years it was great to see how it’s changed and your Dad was fascinating to listen too ! Animal kingdom lodge looks amazing 🤩! Well done guys another great vlog we look forward so much to seeing them ! ❤

[@davidbott3826]

Great Vlog again guys , many thanks for sharing your experience at both Kennedy Space center and the animal kingdom lodge , it was awesome 👍🏻

[@janelawson7219]

Love your Vlogs - dad is amazing well done to all .

[@TheKnightStrider]

Thanks so much

[@janetteno3]

Disney Wilderness is amazing we haven't stayed there but we saw the hotel close to Christmas last year it was amazing. Thanks for a great blog Andrew X

[@davidbott3826]

My mum worked for a company called spectrol reliance which made very small windings that were used in the Luna module and command module, I was always so proud to be able to tell my mates as school about that 👍🏻

[@eugenemcgeever2719]

It was a very good Florida road trip blog day 13 yesterday of you chilling out visiting Kennedy space center it was very funny when mick Garvey was a ASTRONAUT , it was a very good hotel review when you chilling out staying in Disney's Animal kingdom Lodge savannah view room for the Florida road trip vibes Andrew and Laura / mick Garvey aswell

[@susanfletcher2083]

How lovely to see your dad living his childhood dream and so knowledgeable ,I would love to spend time with your parents they are very interesting and lovely people x

[@g3everex]

We were on vacation and went to nasa and it as closed. We stopped at a 7/11 and the cashier said the launch was about to go off. I asked where can we go to see it. He said where we were parked was perfect. It was great. This was back in the 80’s.

[@jaydee5640]

Thank you Andrew and Laura picture quality was perfect for me all very interesting and something different x

[@garyhomer3190]

Fantastic Vlog, couldn’t really appreciate the size of the modules until we saw you up close to them

[@martinwass1217]

No plans for Florida, but the space centre would be the attraction I would go for.

[@susanfletcher2083]

Love the hotel how different is that. I bet Jude would love seeing the animals .

[@jenniferellis3571]
