Ive never been so scared of water in my life 🐊🐊 an unforgetable adventure with our no 1 disney pals! 🥰

[@ThemeParkBazza]

Vera took us to COTB for brunch once. It was OK. Thanks for taking one for the team on the kayaking so we don't have to. Intrigued now on what happened to the Mustang, we await the story from the girls' vlogs.

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Thank you for the lovely comment Bazza. We miss you dearly every day

[@ThemeParkBazza]

@@TheLodgeGuys What are you after ? :-)

[@kirstyr2354]

You should go to rock springs and do the clear bottom kayaking, that’s amazing x

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Yes it looks great. Think Lisa and ade did that one. Looked really good on thier vlog

[@kevincrouch2732]

Good to see you hope you are both well - Kevin & Cyndy

[@LisaLoo212]

Hey guys I always enjoy your trips away from Orlando, Florida is a treasure chest of hidden beauty. I’ve always wanted to see the bioluminescence on Cocoa Beach but due to unseasonable weather this autumn turns you do need to check the moon on your weather app.. apparently if you can see the moon in the sky, you won’t see it.. probably due to unseasonable water temps this year x

[@julieirvine8506]

I would have been expecting a refund 😮 bloody stroke that was 😢 good to see coco Beach area xx

[@tonybriarwood8702]

The last time me and Jackie went to Cocoa Beach we seen the shuttle takeoff and it was a magnificent sight to see

[@catherinebernard1270]

Hell no to the night kayaking guy's, I've watched to many horror films, I'd be pissin my pants 😂❤

[@sandy72346]

Aww such a shame the kayak trip was a let down, that would’ve been fab! The air bnb looks fab ! Phil would love that right next to the airbase! Did you like your own personal serenader? lol. Another fab vlog guys. Cheryl ❤️

[@mth1368]

According to locals the best time of year to see it is on calm summer moonless nights. It only occurs from May to October normally. Seems like you caught it at the end of the season on a bad night.

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Yes. They should have cancelled it when they knew it wasn't going to be the correct conditions or at least given people the option to cancel or go

[@nicolaward1034]

The air b&b looked amazing 😍 shame about the kayaking 👎🏻 Great vlog nevertheless ❤ xx

[@fionachadwick8005]

very disappointing for you, bet that tour wasn’t cheap either! air b n b looked fab though x

[@Rollerskater71]

Jeez that singer would have got a bucket of water over him

[@TheLodgeGuys]

lol

[@stephencoutu2674]

That bioescense night trip does look like the beginning of every horror movie, dark and quiet.....GET OUT NOW!! LOL

[@LMC_CD]

The kayak tour looked dreadful, pitch black and nothing to see..the “guide” seemed less than useless. Definitely ask for a refund! 💪🏻

[@stephslilworld]

is it just me or did the mermaid in the shop look like Ryan Reynolds

[@helenruby1078]

Just to let people who are going to Tenerife that there’s a lot of pickpocketing going on I’m just back and I was on the beach every day and on one day there was at least 3 bags and wallets stolen while people went for lunch

[@helenruby1078]

Sorry guys sorry that wasn’t meant for you

[@stevenpluff6481]

You two are definitely adventurous, but no way am I kayaking at night. Love Cocoa Beach and watching the space craft lift off from Kennedy Space Center. Enjoying this trip y'all are sharing with us

[@eleanorwhite8548]

That was unfortunate that you couldn’t see anything while kayaking,they do say it is much better on a dark & cloudy night! But the shot of the moon glowing was beautiful,but the thoughts of gators in the water right with you would have freaked me out!! Lol🇨🇦

[@ABC-ws1jw]

This was like the bloody blair witch project 🤦‍♂️

[@mtnlaurel12]

I could never go out on a river in Florida at night knowing that there are alligators in it. Creepy.

[@stephencoutu2674]

Coconuts on the Beach is my favorite restaurant on the coast, except I love eating inside this place!

[@kts64]

Why you eat breakfast out when you have a villa house with a kitchen in it to cook 🙄🤔🤔🤔🙈🙈🙈

[@TheLodgeGuys]

We did have breakfast in the villa most days but we were going out early with the wives so they wanted to try somewhere new

[@MBaker-x3c]

Lol you guys are funny at the end. Loved this video! ❤

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@paulaallen9106]

I love u to Ur so funny u bright up my day

[@SusanYeo-dr5sz]

That was such a lovely view from you Airbnb. It’s a shame the night kayaking wasn’t good but I couldn’t go on a boat at night too scary lol. I love the Christmas decks in the shop so much choice. Love that you saw the dolphins 😊thanks for another great vlog. X

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Thanks for watching

[@susanna990]

How were you not freaking out?! Omg had anxiety just watching 😂 loving the vlogs as always x

[@TheLodgeGuys]

It was quite interesting just floating there not knowing what was going on . Just a shame nothing was glowing

[@gerdoyler]

We spent a week in CB July 2022. Had intended to do the Kayaking at night but never got round to it. Coconuts was great also and we much preferred the food and vibe to Captain Js. Jazzys Mainely Lobster was excellent too. Ice cream from the Fat Donkey was fantastic. Would love to know who you booked your kayak tour with so we could avoid! Great vlog as always guys.

[@JennyS54]

Oh, that air bnb was gorgeous, the kayaking, ah, hell to the NO,😂😂, If Emma loves aircraft I watch a KZbin channel Big Jet TV, it’s plane fanatics, pilots, everything planes, he films mainly from Heathrow, but also travels overseas to film at different airports, she might love it. Fantastic vlog again me lovelies, beautiful scenery, yummy food, beautiful people, what more can one ask for? Love Ya’s ❤❤

[@susanglasgow8992]

Coconut shrimp-my favourite, they do a great one at The Outback with marmalade sauce. Shame about the kayak trip but it was an experience you won’t forget! Xxx

[@heatherdraycott3402]

Loved the vlog guys ,n having the girls coming along n totally agree the kayaking was crap ,but never mind the dolphins made up for it 😂xx

[@paulmoss5370]

The Walgreens was opposite my favourite shop in Florida. Ron Jon’s Surfshop. We did daytime Kayaking at the Haulover Canal. Such an amazing experience.

[@jameseddy7485]

I could see the plants glowing under water. Look at the video close you can see it.

[@TheLodgeGuys]

there were no plants under water :)

[@margiefigueroa853]

What you see is the water sparkling with thousands of organisms. It really is exciting.

[@ultanwoods]

Enjoyed the Vlog guys

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Glad you liked it

[@margiefigueroa853]

I am so sorry your bioluminescent kayaking trip was a flop. I never knew Florida had that. However, If you really want to have a very good experience go to Fajardo, Puerto Rico, it is the same type of tour through mangroves, but it is filled with the bioluminescent organisms. It is definitely worth it.

[@kevinstamp2030]

Thanks for doing this trip. We were going to be doing this when we go in July next year but will definitely think twice about it now lol ❤

[@TheLodgeGuys]

It's obviously hit and miss whether you will see anything

[@kevinstamp2030]

Yeah look’s like it. It was the wife and girls who wanted to do it mostly because of avatar experience but for the price and to stay over in hotel doesn’t really make sense. Thanks anyway by the way me and the wife love your vlogs. Keep on keeping on guys ☝️❤️

[@mtnlaurel12]

Ooh. Thanks, Leigh. I paused the video and scanned the menu. I didn't see the salmon salad. That's what i'm gonna get on the next trip to Cocoa.

[@janetovens756]

That ocean view is breathtaking

[@TheLodgeGuys]

It really was lovely

[@tanyascott9023]

I'm sure I saw a cinnamon salmon floating by in the dark waters.....

[@denisederbyshire1957]

That’s terrible that you didn’t see anything xxxGreat vlog as always though guys xx

[@stephencoutu2674]

Its fun to show friends all the great things to do in Florida, I have been doing this for over 40 years!

[@junegriffiths8035]

That was so scary when you were in the kayaks, especially when alligators were by you 😧

[@jpkaye79]

Would you not be able to put a complaint in for a refund as it was not sold as seen?

[@Chelle9483]

What’s the vlog name for the girls?

[@JennyS54]

Disney Wives, Chelle

[@KittyMeowWow]

I was wondering the same, thanks!

[@stephencoutu2674]

Dont you guys have dauphins in the UK>

[@tallactordude]

When I saw the outside of the building that the Airbnb was in, I was afraid it wouldn’t be very nice, but it looks as though inside it was actually quite nice. And yes, that view from the balcony was really lovely. I will say it’s hard for me to imagine a trip to Walgreens as being a treat, since I’ve been in them so many times in my life it’s absolutely nothing special.

[@TheLodgeGuys]

lol, Brits love a good Walgreens :-D

[@stephmcghie8732]

I would panic being out at night in the water, my imagination would get the better of me! Watched too many films...😮

[@TheLodgeGuys]

It was certainly interesting

[@kathtrevains860]

Stunning view out of the Airbnb.

[@mustafadurmaz375]

Thanks guys ❤

[@elizabethkeogh6790]

Loved the vlog 😊

[@janetovens756]

Sorry that would freak me out being in the water in the dark

[@TheLodgeGuys]

It was very eerie

[@kts64]

Definitely not me 🙈🙈like to be on dry land thank

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Its fun on the water

[@KittyMeowWow]

That view is insane.

[@TheLodgeGuys]

It was really lovely

[@kts64]

Would of ask for money back as they didnt deliver what you booked 🙈😡

[@TheLodgeGuys]

We did and dont think we were the only ones

[@kts64]

Who was singing with guitar on the deck 🤔🤔🤔 sounded good

[@TheLodgeGuys]

two guys in the Airbnb below us, we actually thought wtf with the droning of his voice then we heard the same song on the radio a few days later and it was meant to sound like that :)

[@rosipage1606]

I would ask for my money back 😂 The view from your b&b tho 👌 x

[@TheLodgeGuys]

we did and we got it without argument

[@bolly-1143]

Pay your money take your chances, it’s Mother Nature after all.

[@ddjrm]

We did the bioluminescent kayaking and it was great! But you can't have all that light, the moon and the glow sticks and head lamps, it has to be dark. The glow is very subtle and you only see it when the paddle moves through the water. I'm sorry you didn't have a better experience with it. Also seems like you needed a better guide, you need a good company that has good reviews.

[@Gymmom128]

That bio trip should have had acrylic kayaks and things shining so bright it wouldn’t hve to be explained. What a rip off. What was the name of the company??

[@Martin_Ingham]

❤don’t know what your weather is like but we are developing webbed feet, the rain and wind has been so bad the last two days in Driffield ❤
