Very Very Nice Hotel. My husband and I had to live in a hotel like that on several occasions, he works for the military, so had to live there weeks at a time when he was sent to different areas for his job. We racked up the points then. Enjoy

[@dhigdon0629]

Every Time we have a Big trip planned, I can’t sleep the night before. My anxiety is through the roof. We Love the Choice Hotels perks. We also have a Choice rewards credit card to earn more points. We Love Florida, especially this time of year. Thanks For Sharing your Adventures with us.

[@JeffreyLangdon]

We stayed at the Country Inn Suites before a Disney Cruise sailing in 2017. Nice hotel, very close to the port. We enjoyed a nice dinner at fishlips restaurant at the port also. It's a lot of fun to dine outside and watch the ships pulling out of Port. The Disney Wish sails alternating 3 and 4 day cruises to Nassau and Castaway Cay. It embarks on Friday for the 3 day, and Monday for the 4 day cruise. Your timing was perfect to see the Wish on its 3 day NYE cruise.

[@yankeeinthesouth]

Good to know!

[@nancywebb4389]

If I am going on a cruise out of Florida I always go down a day early that way if you get in a traffic jam you still have plenty of time to get where you board plus you are rested after.a good nights sleep

[@marylou.d6379]

We love Fish Lips!! Always sit upstairs on the deck and watch the ships come and go!!

[@yankeeinthesouth]

Love that!

[@Justjakelive]

Port Canaveral was one my favorite ports. I went on Wonder of the Seas. A great ship. I hope you get to go on it one day. Also, ate at Fishlips. Super delicious 😋

[@brendawhisenhunt8444]

I don't blame you for leaving TN early, especially when you're going to warmer weather.. The baked Cod looked fantastic..

When I spend the winter in Florida on a number of occasions I went to Fishlips with a friend from Ontario who is also spending the winter down there. Wge enjoyed a great fish and chip dinner there. It was extremely enjoyable and a nice atmosphere.

[@yankeeinthesouth]

Thanks for sharing!

[@sharonh5399]

We drive to Orlando from Central Illinois. Takes about 17 hours or so with stopping for gas and food. One drive back there was an accident just outside of Nashville. We sat for 2 hours before we got to move only to drive back the way we came to exit off the highway as they had closed it. I slept at a rest area about 3 hours before home and my feet had swelled up due to the long hours in the car. Glad you made it. Safe travels.

[@tampapaul3382]

Welcome to Florida! We are soon on the MSC out of Port Canaveral! Disney cruises are great, food, private island, balcony rooms, service are all top of the line! Enjoy your Orlando time!

[@yankeeinthesouth]

Sounds great!

I never been on a cruise. I'm stuck in winter Michigan right now. so thankful for this video, you guys both know what I mean because you lived here! I think it's a cool idea that you will be trying all the cruise lines! I think seeing Disney WISH was a sign for you GUYS!! I enjoyed the New Years Live btw! I think two cruises a year will be just enough! Most of us never been so it will be great to watch your experience and be able to compare it to other cruises. I hope you guys continue to have a good time. Happy Belated Birthday Will. Happy New year!

What e nice birthday gift

[@bubbascruise]

You were talking about packing my biggest tip is to make a packing list specifically for cruising. It not only helps you not forget something also to not overpack. I update mine every time I get back while its still fresh on my mind. So many people over/under pack on cruises when its not really necessary.

[@yankeeinthesouth]

Thank 😃 you for sharing

Cant believe how insane the traffic was. Exspecially when hit altanta georgia. Loved the view from fishlips and the food did look good. ❤❤❤

[@johngraham1875]

We use choice as well and the points program works great!!!!

[@delanomiller]

Thanks for sharing. I have a suggestion. When traveling especially on interstates we always have Waze or Google maps up to hopefully bypass backups on the road even if we know the route were taking. Can't wait to see more of the cruise video. God bless.

[@yankeeinthesouth]

That's a great idea!

When your older way down the road you'll not have regrets and wish you would have done this. You'll have all these wonderful memories. I heard you guys talk about Dawn's sister going on a cruise with you. I hope that works out. Safe travels. God bless you both. ❤
