REAL DAY IN THE LIFE! Orlando Vlog: Living Near the Theme Parks, Local Shops, Life & Channel Updates

Join me for a REAL day in the life, hang out with me and see what it's like living in the theme park bubble, right near Walt Disney World, Universal Orlando and all the other wonderful, fun and special tourist attractions here in Central Florida - from local shops to nature parks to the quintessential Florida shopping experience and a little bit of home life, mixed in with a chat about KZbin, the channel and more! We start out at home where I show you our office workspace. Then we head out to explore, check out a new local coffee shop I've been wanting to try (and it was fantastic!), try a specialty Valentine coffee, check out one of the popular theme park tourist gift shops with a giant Wizard on it, go for a lovely walk in a nature park with an old Florida Pioneer Village, see kayakers and bicyclists enjoying a beautiful Florida day, and of course the quintessential Florida stop - Publix, where I show you the wonderful bakery, Valentine's Day and Mardi Gras seasonal baked goods and the International section where we get British food for Sam! Closing out with home cooked dinner, King Cake and hanging out back at home! We'll have some heart to heart chats about theme park life, KZbin and how I feel about vlogging, living near the theme parks, travel and channel updates, how the year has been so far and what we're excited for! Thanks for hanging out with me for something different, a bit more of a look into what it's like living here in central Florida, near the theme parks, and what a day in the life can look like! I look forward to your comments and what your favorite part of the day was! Lots of love!

[@SuperEnthused]

ALSO HAPPY PANCAKE DAY!!!

[@AgentMashGaming]

Happy Pancake Day!! ^^

[@Sassyellechica]

Hi Jackie & Sam, this is one of the best vlogs ever. This is nice you showing us your day. Next time I come dwn to Florida, I want to visit that souvenir shoppe, I see it when I drive dwn to Orlando but I want to check out the merch. So glad you took me on this tour with you, it made my day WFH, as it's a snow day in NYC today

[@Sportyfamilia]

Fun! You should expand on showing us the cooking it looked yummy! Plus you need to show us who got the baby lol

[@jaymeojeda1160]

Ms.Jackie taking a road trip chillin like a Disney villian

[@Amanda-ws7qr]

Love this blog Jackie, really appreciate it something new. We are there in July/August this year and the walk you did will be a welcome quiet break from the hustle and bustle. May try one of the Florida springs. Thank you 😊

[@jayhandson]

Thank you for bringing us along on a non theme park day. You are such a wonderful tour guide and I appreciate all the effort you put in to add all the bits of information to help us plan our Florida bound trips!

[@Billyvan21]

The best way to describe this vlog is like 'hanging out with a friend!' Always love how real you make yourself out to be, Jackie! You are one of the best out there and it shows in your videos and in your beautiful personality!

[@muthergoose4084]

100% truth.

[@toddcribbs6844]

You're always very nice Jackie may God bless you both

[@SuperEnthused]

You too Todd! 💕

[@NKPB2023]

Jackie - we LOVE your videos! It is obvious to us how humble you are & don’t take it all for granted. We appreciate that so much from you!!! We love your positivity & personality! I know most KZbinrs are just doing their jobs and trying to bring us content but I notice after a while the info falls short & it becomes more of a “who can show you the best of the best”. Their best of the best just means the most absurdly expensive things. The enjoyment gets lost once that begins (especially in this economy)! So thank you for always staying your true authentic self & always bringing the informative super enthusiastic content!! We’re looking forward to seeing where you & Sam are headed in 2024!! ❤❤

[@DisAmy33]

I love basic “day in the life of” or home vlogs! Need Sam cooking vlogs too! 😊

[@everon344]

Jackie, I always love when you take us adventuring! I wish I had your confidence to go to places by myself but, as you invited me along, I can experience the fun with you vicariously. Thanks so much!!! ❤

[@briansieve]

I definitely love the casual vlogs. They help me escape. This was fun.

[@RonCavagnaro]

Me and my wife really enjoyed this episode it was really nice! All of you content is great! And Sam's is great too !!

[@christinabroeker6798]

Thank you for sharing your day Jackie! Your joy is infectious! Love your channel! ❤

[@chorysg]

Just wanted to say hey and I really enjoyed the relaxed vlog. It felt like we’re just hanging out for the day! Fun vlog Jackie! Thanks for including us (the subscribers) ☺️💕🎉

[@JoyBean]

I loved this style of vlog. The coffee shop was cute and so sweet to see the Nature Trails. Some days it is just fun to get out and just be.

[@heater631]

Soo much construction in Orlando i hope they never change the outlandish themed buildings!! I love it!!

[@terrexcorbin]

Keep up these day in the life vlogs

[@jennifercolligan3085]

Reminds me of when I lived there, we were in Maitland for 5 years and used to find new nature walks! We loved Lake Eola! Missing it a bit😢 thanks for taking us along!

[@SuperEnthused]

Love lake eola too!

[@lzbrtstwbrtakaliz]

Really enjoyed the change of pace with this one! Also, that book wall in the coffee shop was amazing!

[@Elyse1997]

We have been to that park. It's lovely. Publix bread is yummy. I get half loaves 2 a week to keep them fresh. Less waste, no mold. I love that you can get smaller amounts in the bakery. Thanks for sharing!

[@starryloves]

Jackie - love this vlog so much! Thank you for sharing this side of your life. This is so insightful and full of information. I always wonder what it’s like. Thank you so much for sharing! Looking forward to more!! 🎉

[@lorettaspradlin9868]

This was AWESOME!!!! My honey and I are headed to the area in May and along with WDW… that’s exactly what we planned to do… to See the area. Thank Jackie for the helpful tips. Do this again and again

[@Nuggetlover96]

I think I've said this on a previous video but it's really surreal seeing you visit places that are literally 5 mins down the road from me. We frequently visit XO, our current favorite that they have right now is the "Honey I'm Home"

[@thundercat8601]

What a great video and even better idea for a series! I know vloggers tend to be private with their personal lives (understandably), but know that we all appreciate this glimpse behind the curtain. We are interested in the parks, of course, but also very interested in daily life in the Bubble!

[@Geekendz]

Yay, this was fun! Thanks for sharing! Again, it was so nice meeting you last weekend!!! 😃 We’re home in NY now, catching up on the KZbins and have a lot of editing to do! 😆 Hi, Sam! Keep up the great work, you two! 😊👍🏻

[@aulia.d.a8417]

Not me sharing tips to ppl travelling there, having never been there myself!! 😂 Thanks Jackie! Apparently your tips are very helpful & make it more fun 💛

[@dianataormino1261]

Thank you so much for sharing that nature walk with us. I had no idea parks like that were available in Orlando. I can’t wait to try that con our next visit.

[@LuvSubbin]

We get it. We recently had an open day while at Orlando and had a wonderful time at the You & Me Hot Pot based entirely on one of your videos. Thanks for all the great content - especially the Road Trip videos.

[@noraw8955]

Thank you Jackie for taking us around with you! I love videos like this! Please do more of them! Also, Sam’s dinner looked DELICIOUS! 🤤 Have a great day! ❤

[@kristinfonte]

Sam, keep growing for a Keanu Reeves hair moment. My husband did that and everyone like it (he's English too!) He's cut it since, but he said it was fun to be different for a little while.

[@andygarwood2480]

Thanks Jackie great to see your daily routine ❤xx

[@justinfreeman6143]

Love you Jackie, your content is out of this world and I cant wait for more of your amazing adventures ❤❤❤

[@Big-4]

Isn’t that funny, I’m subscribed to your husband’s channel & never knew it was him. How cool, it’s great content. You two are doing awesome, congratulations! The hair’s looking good Sam. 😊

[@SuperEnthused]

He says thanks haha!!

[@angelaterranova1577]

Love the behind the scenes day! Liked the peak into your studio editing area for you and Sam and loved seeing the park, so beautiful!

[@beckyinnola3613]

Happy Mardi Gras Jackie & Sam! 💜💚⚜️ King cake baby cloud. 🤣

[@TritonPlz]

Sam's PC is awesome!

[@Kandy77788]

This was a fun video!! You do live in one of the best places!! Loved the park.. the moss covered trees definitely remind me of Florida ☺️☺️☺️ we have Publix and Aldi too!!! Love Publix!! Thanks for the video.. your hubby is definitely a keeper with all that cooking😉😉

[@ciadaclark9110]

I spent many childhood summers in Florida. Pensacola. I'm a Florida girl at heart.

[@KatyMc27]

Love videos like this! Would be so happy to see these added to the rotation :)

[@ericwalter6344]

The park looks very quite and relaxing thank you and also really love your road trips stay safe on your travels this year

[@MoviemaniaNick]

Pancakes! lol Nice video Jackie. Thanks for the tour around and what you guys do.

[@floridawoman]

I thought Sam’s hair looked longer. It looks like my son’s hair-he’s growing his out too. Thanks for letting us tag along on your beautiful walk!

[@sl1138utube]

The sausage and mash looked amazing. Cozy day!

[@roxannesimpson5736]

I love all your videos! You always make it fun!

[@normalincoln8502]

Love these kinds of video's. Different and awesome.

[@daved.6586]

I don’t blame you and Sam for eating at home often. The food at the parks can be subpar… but Sam looks like he can cook!!👍

[@paulcorrigan916]

Last time we were in Orlando was 2006 and the Wizard Gift shop hasn’t changed . Zoltan was also there then 😀

[@Hartler21]

Love this video; thanks Jackie ! Also my husband does majority of the cooking too 😂.

[@BrewCityGillz]

Really liked this. I wouldn’t be opposed to you doing this kind of random walk and talk / regular day video every now and then. 🙂

[@SuperEnthused]

I’d love to work a vid like this in every once in a while. I’m relieved the response has been so positive and supportive!! I’d try to find a new local chill place each time too.

[@timrempel]

Yay! I love a good hang out day, the super enthused way 😁 Its nice seeing local things to do besides going to the theme parks. Even if it is going to the touristy shops on 192 Lol. I also love the outdoors, sometimes you just need a chill day and some good nature time. I say we gather some friends, grab a Pub Sub, some Kayaks and have an outdoor party, ending the night with a campfire and S'mores. Doesn't that sound fun, I'm just thinking out loud here Lol!..Oh, I gotta try that coffee shop too! it looks super great. I guess The Day in the Life of Jackie didn't include getting a tattoo that day with coffee, maybe next time 😂

[@patriciagreene5842]

Love the show too!! So interesting going behind the scenes with you!!

[@JosephGillen]

We love the Gilded Age. The podcast is awesome, too. Cannot wait for season 3.

[@catski23]

My family also loves The Gilded Age… we just love period series & films. Max & Apple+ are our go to channels these days. If you ever need anymore recommendations; I’ve got some good ones; and we also just completed The Crown on Netflix… can’t believe we skipped it before 🥴🤦‍♀️🥳❤️📺

[@cindyandkurt]

Absolutely love these type of vlogs❤❤. Please can we have some more??

[@heartnurse1978]

Great video! Thanks for sharing your day!❤

[@annadekraker1358]

Loved your day in the life video Jackie!! It’s so awesome you and Sam live in Orlando and making videos and going to the parks!! You’re my favorite blogger, and I love watching your videos and all the information you give about the parks!! You definitely helped me with information and things to do in the parks!! Sam did a great job making the desk for you guys. It looks great!! I love how grateful you are to live by all the parks and that’s the best part about you that you don’t take it for granted!! I would love to live in Orlando, especially going to Universal any day that you want!! I definitely want to move down there someday!! I love Publix too. I was there on my trip. They have everything I bought the.Dunham’s chocolate covered almonds. It is so good!! Sam did a great job with making you dinner. It looks really yummy!! ❤❤😊❤️🥰🥰😊😊❤️❤️

[@leonmalett4189]

Thank You Miss Jackie your vlogs are always so informative and fun been watching for several years my wife loves your enthusiasm and love for what you do so keep doing that thing you love to do and we'll be waiting and watching for more 😊😊😊

[@jarinielsenmusiclab]

Hey Jackie good vlog and thank you and keep up the good you do love jarl 🎉😅

[@AshlynM850]

Loved the style of this video, Jackie 🥰

[@ajserviced.1760]

🎉 Happy Mardi Gras 🎉 I'll be home celebrating and watching the screen😅 🎉 📿 I hope You and Sam have a happy Valentines Day and everyone else to😊❤ This is great to see a day in the life vlog😊 I am working on and planing to be moved to Florida no more than 30 minutes away from Disney and Universal parks by 2026, so it's great to see other places around Florida and what shopping is available to😊 That nature park is beautiful. It's close to what I see around me every day. Tennessee trees and farms areas is my home, but boy do I hope to live in Florida someday. Yes, bad waether and Hurricanes happen, but still. Mostly want to move for the warmer weather, because of my health issues plus getting older 40years old now, and winter is very hard for me here😢😅 Thanks Jackie and Sam for all y'all share with us we really appreciate it. We learn so much😊 Be Safe Take Care 😊❤

[@michellehalemassacre]

If no one has seen the movie the Florida Project, please do. The gift shop in this is in the movie and so many other florida places. It is a heart-wrenching, beautiful story. Also thank you for this video I am moving down in April for the dcp and wanted to find things to do outside of work and the disney bubble.

[@meganjohnson215]

Very genuine and sweet video. I just love how “Super Enthused” you are, even about the little things that surround you in Orlando. Looking forward to seeing more of your content and appreciating your positive outlook, thank you! 🙌🏼💕

[@leeannfrancescone]

Great vlog!! You did a great job!! Would love to see more cooking videos! Please be careful walking around alone #Mamahere! LOL Great job Jackie!

[@jameslewis304]

Loved the day in the life of Jackie vlog so thank you for taking us along. The park looked a great place to relax & unwind it's really nice to see other things to do in & around the Orlando area. Also have to say I love The Gilded Age, cant wait for season 3. aahhhh Bisto the best gravy for sure :)

[@SuperEnthused]

I can’t waaaaait for season 3!!!! The podcast is getting me through!

[@jameslewis304]

@@SuperEnthused I never thought about the podcast ! Thanks, am all in now 😅

[@terrysmith8539]

Watching Jackie's video makes me miss Orlando Florida so much! Jackie if you read this could you venture to the downtown area of Orlando sometime I think people would like to see the downtown area of Orlando also. LOVE YOU!!

[@ThatDarnStarks]

Great vlog buddy! I had a feeling you were gonna stop at the iconic wizard shop lol

[@kerstiecowley1690]

This was so fun to see your day!! Thanks for sharing! Especially someone who lives in a very different area (Utah mountains)

[@JorgePerez-wx9cf]

THAT’S MY COFFEE SHOP!! They do special menus regularly. Spent so many hours doing HW, work work, just chillaxing. The Tattoo corner is a recent addition. But main tattoo tattoo artiest also patently owns the coffee shop and is really good. Great find!

[@rhearainbow]

This reminds me a lot of your earlier videos which I have been binge-watching here and there. The Miami ones, Historical places ones, or the Tates Comics ones. All in all, you have such a good vibe and a great chillout feeling about you that always comes over in your videos whether you're in the theme parks or nature park or anywhere.💖 I LOVE HANGING WITH YA!! 💖It's been getting me and my sig other through a lot of hard, medical times and I appreciate your positivity and your tenacity. You're a spark of light that always graces our day. Thank so much for sharing yourself. Happy Mardi Gras! Hope you enjoy the King Cake!✨

[@DisneyMarkUK]

Thank you for sharing your day with us Jackie ❤ x ❤

Thanks Jackie! Happy Mardi Gras etc. etc.! 😁 Fun to just have a tour around your life so to speak. Take care!

[@MrTbnetherwood]

🎉🎉 More videos like this, please.

[@richardking2762]

I loved this. Living next to one of the biggest tourist trap cities in the country (where you've never been) I know about finding all the places you can go to get away from it all. I love seeing life of a local. Please do more.

[@BaileyLovesMangos]

Loved this video! And I loved seeing your dinner too!!!!!

[@StephenKretsinger]

If you two ever make it out to Kansas City, Missouri, you have to try Fitti's Coffee Shop. It is a local, Veteran-owned place with outstanding coffee, fresh baked goods and the best breakfast sandwich you will ever have.

[@timandkt]

I live in the world between your worlds…team MacBook, but also team Premiere Pro CC 😂 Happy Mardi Gras, Jackie! Katie is dying to know if your love of period dramas includes Bridgerton….and if so, how excited are you for season three? Awww, what adorable goats! I’m thoroughly convinced that they do know when they’re being recorded, and they do like to toy with vloggers. 😉 We always appreciate the chill park vlogs…and the chill non-park vlogs too! Cherishing every moment is the important thing, where and how you cherish it is up to you. Thanks for taking us along for your day out and about! ✨

[@ifamilymoments1965]

Loved your video, Jacky. My wife and I are not really empty nesters, both our kids are young adults. My daughter is at UCF, my son will be going to FIU this fall. So it would be nice to have a place in Orlando, for sure. We want to downsize, for sure. The condo idea is nice, but the HOA kinda scares us. I heard living in Hunters Creek area is nice too. 😊

[@terrificthemeparkshopper6338]

Hey Jackie! I’ve watched you for a long while now but since I’ve moved to FL and visit the parks weekly, I don’t KZbin nearly as much as I used to but….when I do I watch you!! Always enjoy what you have to share! Throwing it out there again…come on up to Ocala and I’ll show you around!!

[@BuyTheThings]

Always enjoy the variety!

[@marielayfield2987]

What a great different video! Yay, new video from Sam soon! Love a cute coffee shop! Beautiful park to walk at!

[@TheyCallMeFouts]

I loved this Jackie home vlog!!!

[@sharonrendfrey7415]

LOVE the Gilded Age - I read they renewed but most likely won't be back until fall.

[@monicahaller3330]

I always wondered where Sam is, when you do your solo videos… There’s lots of things to do in Orlando. I’m always down to try new coffee places, don’t get me wrong, I love Dutch brothers and Starbucks but I like to give small businesses my money too. I love to be out in the great outdoors. I like to experience nature. Thank you for always sharing.

[@pattipayne8202]

Great video, l really enjoyed hanging out with you.

[@marimurillo4050]

Thanks for showing us your authentic lifestyle. This was really special because we get to see more than just theme parks and trips.

[@michellejohnson9743]

Thank you! We are in Florida several times a year, and we always stay off property. I would love a video of places to eat and things to do that locals love. Coffee shop was definitely a place we'd love.

[@karenn4102]

Live here for many years and there are so many places I haven’t seen or been to or knew about. Thank you so much for sharing this with us Love your content and style.

[@kathymcel]

This was fun. I sent a link to the park to my kids that live down there. Cool 😎

[@lukeroberts201]

You’re an outstanding KZbin channel. Expedition Enthused vlog yes 👍 🙌 👏🏻.

[@nataliewingate6475]

Hi Jackie. First off, love an everyday life vlog. You keep doing you! Showing the everyday normal life shows us who you really are...like the rest of us! We ❤you and your content. Secondly, a suggestion since you guys live to drive...so what we do ..every summer we pick a couple of states and drive to them. This year is Kentucky and Tennessee. Your videos will help us so much with Pigeon Forge, Anakeesta and Dollywood. We're, trying to visit 25 states by the time my oldest graduates high school. Cheers! P.S. Sam....my hubby cookies more than me, so Kudos to you and to the men out there that love to cook!

[@JustAlanDoingAlanThings]

Loved it. Any video is elevated by a 🐐 😂 It was a really fun change. Florida weather was described perfectly too, its chill, its warm, its windy I'm sunburnt😂 Obligatory 🐿 too. No offence intended but Sam is reminding me of Oliver Claypole from UK TV show Rent a Ghost. Which is definitely before your time. Stay you, stay young & Stay Enthused ❤

[@MagicalMaddieB]

always watching these types of videos to find new stuff to do around ORL!! Thanks for sharing your day friend!!

[@rebelalliance77]

King cake! Awesome!

[@sabf8047]

Yes please Jackie, show us more of Orlando ❤

[@liverplover1]

Love the Gilded Age!!!

[@beckiestacy29]

I absolutely love seeing other things around Orlando. The hubby and I want to make a trip to Florida just to explore what that beautiful state has to offer! Thanks for these types of videos ❤️

[@Buns1172]

Thank you for sharing your day ❤️❤️. We too are from the UK so love your updates Florida isn’t Florida without numerous visits to Publix 😀👍

[@AgentMashGaming]

Yes!! ^^ Thankyou for another video, a cosy day is needed with this awful weather we got here, just cold and rainy lol :)

[@MyWestiesTV]

Hey Jackie, I really liked the day in the life video, nice change. Stay awesome 😎 HAPPY PANCAKE DAY!!🥞

[@cklo8799]

We love seeing what else the area has to offer!!
