Thank you. 😎

Agree 👍

[@paulinebotting7317]

Great vid, Lee. Brought back some happy memories. Myself and my late husband spent many times walking up and down I-Drive while on holiday there. Many thanks.

[@helgabullabong]

Really enjoyed this. Been going to the States for years and first went to International Drive in 1989. Not been for a while and cannot believe how much its changed!! Thanks for showing us. Cheers

[@samhenwood5746]

Love these walkabouts brilliant 🤩

[@chrishilton3139]

Great video Lee ! Have to agree I’m fascinated by abandoned hotels , hospitals and even pubs ! So many pubs have shut in England now and I always say people will have meet in there and be married and kids now .

[@joshshore7976]

Love these type of videos Lee. Great insight to what’s on International Drive. It might not be one of the glamorous places in the world but it still looks a fantastic pub/bar crawl!

[@lizh2213]

Brought back a few memories. Usually stay down Disney Springs. Did stay years ago up the other end towards Universal end, remember walking to the old Wet and Wild before it closed.. good times

[@junemccann5981]

You never stop Lee and all the vlogs and lives are so much appreciated! 🥰🌞🥰Xx

[@sallyneal9476]

Brilliant video Lee Nice to see the scenery and what lovely weather.

[@davebunyan1162]

That derelict building at 1:35 used to be a ponderosa steakhouse and buffet. Ate there quite often when we stayed at the enclave suites back in April/May 2004.

[@kathrickaby3951]

The breakfast at world cafe is a great English. No one fussier than my hubby and he loved it

[@gjmsox]

Spot on , a great place for a good old English fry up ! The staff were great too .

[@johnbowyer6902]

An attraction you were only feet away had a tragic accident recently. Our hearts go out to the family whose loved-one died on the vertical drop on International Drive days after you showed us the attraction.

Thinking about visiting Orlando this November. Thank you for taking the time to make this video. I found it very enjoyable.

[@helenpeck1954]

So many memories. My last visit was September 2005, so much has changed. Icon Park was The Mercado, used to live going there at night. Booked for September 2023, looking forward to seeing old and new. Solo trip time to make new memories. Thanks for the vlog. Hey I didn't know you lived in Mansfield, me too 😂

[@fayemarie7741]

Thanks Lee, great vlog as usual, yes it gets pretty warm ☺️ You walk around and nearly pass out then get in a car or shops and freeze ☺️☺️

[@philipdodd2108]

Excellent Lee loved the walk and seeing all the different places 👍👍

[@hongk0ngfu3y]

Miss wet n wild on international drive, it was perfect for those days after you were shattered from doing the theme parks and need to recoup. Stumble out of a motel and into w&w. Once they closed that it was never the same again. Volcano Bay is epic but its like you liking the old Irish bar over the new trendy places. Must be an age thing and the yearning for days of olde😂

[@johnrimmer4841]

Everything was built around the automobile in the 70 s and 80s it was refreshing that they built sidewalks on international drive. I’ve walked there in August and I didn’t see any people walking on the sidewalk. I can see the walk in early March must be great. Also. The long distance between locations Lee it looked like perfect weather (it’s snowing again in New Jersey interesting vlog

[@alastairritchie7294]

Changed so much last on i drive 15 years ago. So many additions. Titanic exhibition was at the old mercado centre when we were there. Always love a game of crazy golf. One visit we stayed at movie land hotel ,that was an experience.

[@cjp240573]

Yes, a new angle for the Mac master. The Urban explorer. That’ll be great 👍🏻 🌎

Great memories for me as I did 1990 to 2005 every year in florida and especially international drive and kissiminee...thanks Lee it was great to see all the places but it looks a lot more quiet than when I went.

[@jessicayoung7132]

The Lucky leprechaun Pub on International Blvd though.....the best folks and friendly and love and miss them all..I didn't see you stop by them though......hmmmm Pity, you're missing out. .God Bless

Great Vlog Lee, remember all those places when I was there in April 2019, agree with your comments about The Pointe Orlando is more upmarket i stayed up that end of town. Great memories for me.👍

Awww, thanks for the memories Lee! Was here for the first time in 2012, ate at loads of places that you’ve shown on here! Perkins Bakery was fantastic then, Apple & Cinnamon muffins were the bomb! Like you, we fell in love with the US and have been over loads of times and always love it! Can’t wait to come back! More of this please, a great trip down memory lane! Cheers!👍😊🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇺🇸

[@michaelknowles2212]

Enjoyed this one it brings back memories of walking down international Drive and going into the Titanic experience, hope I get the chance to visit Florida again as it is a wonderful place. Had a few breakfasts in Denny’s really good.

[@garyphillips006]

Really enjoyed this one Mac, as I have said before my chance for a little tourism (escapism) thanks for the Blackpool nod ;-) I see what ya mean lol. I have always loved and been fascinated with everything about America, I have just never been. One of my favorites of the trip, you're living my dream dude. 😄

Cheers Lee. These are my favourite type of vlog. Remind me of the early Tenerife vlogs, walking up and down the front in Tenerife. Also the Gran Canaria ones. Hopefully more to come. 👍

[@wakeywakey2910]

Thanks for this Lee! Brought back memories of past trips to Orlando! I remember staying on I Drive for a short time, then mainly in Kissimmee, the rest. I remember along the (better) part of I Drive you would see pedestrians walking, but mainly everyone went by car. First time I went to Florida I fell in love with the place, and visiting places like Disney and Universal, wow, what a fantastic experience, especially for the young ones. Shame Wet n Wild shut down and remember many a meal at Ponderosa, especially enjoying the buffet brekkies. Anyone else go to Gatorland, St. Petes, Busch Gardens, Sea World, Kennedy Space Centre?😄 The first trip we even drove down to the Keys, what a wonderful place Key West was to stay in. All in all the trips there were magical, and so much fun! Glad we had the opportunity to do it while we could. Cheers Lee 🙂

[@tonyinit8488]

For one tiny second I thought you might get out of the helicopter at the end ! Great vlog Lee - you've earned a cold beer 🍺

[@georgemurphy1966]

My Goodness how I-92 as changed. I took my family there in the 90's & it was an amazing place with all the hustle & bustle it's a shame to see it like that, do they still use the Marker system on that road, I think Walmart Super store is between Marker 10-11. Lee you forgot to mention in your Intro Starsky & Hutch & if you stayed in a Hotel that had a vibrating bed I think your parents got the wrong place 🤣 Old town ( where the big wheel was ) was another great place to eat & drink & watch everyone on the crazy rides. I was looking out for Chuckie's burger Restaurant which was McDonalds rival & when you drove up to the window at the Drive through you had to say Hi Chuckie's my kids loved it, they'd kill me for saying that they've now got children of there own, brilliant place. Great Vlog brought back a lot of memoirs.

[@TheMacMaster]

Thanks Sue. Unfortunately these kind of vlogs just don't get the views. The food ones get way more. Enjoyed filming it though. Glad you enjoyed. I guess people would rather see Fish and chips, burgers and fries and pizza. 😉👍🏼👍🏼

[@suecreese8067]

@@TheMacMaster you are so good at what you do xx

[@stephena2720]

Looks like you missed out Hash House a go go further up. Best restaurant on I drive. Absolutely love it. Remember staying in the Rosen across from wet n wild (RIP) the first time we went to Orlando. It was a bit rough back then but still managed to fall in love with the place. The derelict place used to be an all day buffet, can't remember the name of it but it went bust years ago. Has had a few different things since then but none have lasted. Great memories MM. Hopefully getting back soon to make some new ones.

[@stephena2720]

Sorry, name of the place was really annoying me. 😄 Ponderosa Steak House. They did a great breakfast buffet. I'm not 100% that's the derelict place though. May have been the old tilted kilt. By the way, Perkins do a great breakfast if you can get there. Bakery stuff is 🤗

[@helenrideout]

Glad you did the walk up International Way. I hate hot weather and no way would I ever visit Florida. I like the cold weather and change of seasons. Did you see many electric charging stations on your journey. Don't understand this Country's direction, the inmates are in charge of the zoo. Enjoying your vlogs touring our Country again. A break from the madness.

[@russellshapland9146]

Hahaha lee That was your helicopter getting back to your hotel lol Brilliant vlog lee really enjoyed it so informative Bet the beer tasted great after that hike!!!!! Cheers mate😊😊🍻🍻

[@HowardB54]

Well then Lee …. What a great walk down memory lane that was for us. Stayed on I Drive many times in early 90’s courtesy of ( now defunct ) companies such as Freddie Laker and Travel City. Probably stayed in that now derelict motel ! As you said it was such a novelty to watch daytime Tv . I can remember being excited at watching Bonanza at 7:30 in the morning ! When all we had was 3 channels . Top end of IDrive ( where Wet n Wild was ) there is place called Visitors Circle - great musical instrument dealer there and next door a gun and rifle range you could visit and use live ammunition ! Perkins great for bakery and home style food. Chillis was good too but who knows these days Keep up the great work , get out your factor 50 and a hat 👍🏻🇺🇸🍔 Howard

[@TheMacMaster]

Thank you.

[@romz1]

Looks like everywhere is designed for cars rather than walking. As someone who likes walking i think i would need a beer by the end too!

[@jglasernyc]

It's all about perspective, isn't it? I grew up in USA and loved British TV shows, Monty Python, Fawlty Towers, Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin to name a few. I first came to the UK in 1977 and fell in love with London. I went back a few years ago and would love to live there. I've never been to Blackpool but this tour of Orlando looks a lot like Los Angeles with the strip malls, restaurants, etc.

The full English in the world cafe looked pretty decent. So did the Irish bar. It was like being “home from home”. Blackpool but with proper sunshine and palm tree’s!!😂. It’s fantastic you got to experience America as a young man Mc. You can clearly see your appreciation for those times and your present excitement for all things USA. It’s infectious!! I’m adamant that your best work on this channel has been done in America. Now I understand why it brings out the best in you!!👌. Great to see you out and about on a walking tour. You don’t see many Americans on walkabout though😂?? Again this vlog brings something “a little different and out of the box”. The BJ’s line was straight out the “Martin Joke book”. You should have many more followers as far as I am concerned. These videos are a breath of fresh air in what are troubled times my friend. You bring a much needed smile to all your subscribers and trust me it makes a difference. Thank you.x

[@davidnm21]

Where the giant wheel is at Icon Park, you have the tallest “Star Flyer” in the world, (that’s the swing ride that goes round and round at height). Love International Drive and I know you walked about 3 miles but that’s enough in searing heat. I think it’s about 12 miles or so in length if I’m thinking correctly but there are some amazing restaurants, cafes, bars and hotels along there. Don’t you just love the Florida heat, (well I do and I’ve done most of the States but Florida is still one of my favs). Nice one Lee 👍

Great Vlog again lee. We stayed at the Avanti Palms in 2018. After a few days there was a conference and stayover for people in recovery. It was like Ibiza on Acid. Not good for the family. That end of I drive is very much in the 80's. You can book with many UK travel agents who quote 4* or whatever but it is a dump. Onwards my friend X

[@traceypestell5973]

Loved this …. We went to the titanic experience that you walked by … didn’t think it would still be there 9 years on

[@paulc180]

We first went to Florida (from the UK) in 1986 and International drive even then was like walking though Benidorm and it has not improved. We have been back many times, last time 4 years ago, we had a villa near the parks but we went to I drive to see if it had changed but apart from the upper end where the conv center is driving down to the other end and it is still full of eateries and gift shops and outlet malls, its so tacky but it kinda works.
