    The boat captain was either auditioning for Jungle Cruise or a former CM reliving his glory days...

    I feel like the boat captain used to be a Jungle Cruise skipper in his youth, hehe.

    I love these local videos you guys are doing. I live here too and watching you guys has helped me get out of the rut of always doing the same things. I think us locals take a lot for granted and don’t even realize all of the cool things we are missing out on.

    It's a small world indeed!! I started watching your videos about 4 years ago. My husband and I decided to move to Florida from Puerto Rico and after doing our research agreed on Winter Park. We moved here about 5 weeks ago! Last Saturday we explored the town for the first time! We LOVE it! We didn't do the boat tour though, maybe next Saturday. Our best to Jen and Bandit.

    I just want to say thank you! My daughter shows my husband and I your videos and it helped plan our Disney World vacation last October. And today I am recovering from knee surgery and just watched your boat tour of Winter Park! What a fun virtual vacation you gave me as I'm home bound! We all enjoy your videos just genuinely like you both!

      You wont be disappointed for sure. Where are you guys moving to?

    • @NoThankUBeQuiet
      @NoThankUBeQuiet 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Tip you are moving at the worst time of year. Don't spend time outdoors until mid September. Just hibernate until then. Next summer you will ease in and it will be better.

    • @cmcustoms1145
      @cmcustoms1145 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I grew up down there. So the weather i am use to plus trying to run away from Michigan before the snow gets us lol. And the Venice/Sarasota area gulf coast

    We just went on this boat tour one month ago when visiting my old friend and classmate from Germany who is living now with his wife in Winter Park for several years. It‘s really such a nice city and the boat tour is just great!
    Love your videos!
    Best wishes from Germany!

  • @trishas9611
    @trishas9611 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    I like when the tour guide said the root canal joke and he said for everyone to groan and Tim quietly says “dang....” lolllll

  • @p.j.driton4528
    @p.j.driton4528 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    We took this tour last year. We loved it!! When we were there in May, 2017, there was a drought going on. Only part of the canals were navigable . It's nice to see the complete tour is now available. We had the same skipper. Same jokes...lol. He stopped the boat so we could take picture of some beautiful bald eagles. Thank you for sharing this!! I recommend this tour, also.

  • @danip3270
    @danip3270 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Nice, Tim! We lived in Jax forever, and used to ride our boat up and down the St. John’s. I sure miss the water there. I love the parks, but it’s great to see the other sites, too. Thanks as always. Someday, my husband and I will move back to the area.

  • @HeidiSKulesh
    @HeidiSKulesh 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Very cool boat tour, I'd love to do tat - love anything with a boat, especially seeing those big houses. Did one up the Hudson not long ago. That Wendell guy was great - such a character! :)
    Hope you, Jenn, and Mr. Bandit are having a great weekend - hugs to you all!

    Omg I grew up in Winter Park...seems like the only street that houses cost less than $1 million. This video brought so many fantastic memories back. Thank you for filling this!

  • @reneebarger5194
    @reneebarger5194 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Wow, thank you. Love that you show so many wonderful other places to see in Florida. One of my Uncles lived in Boca Raton back in the 60's and I would get to go there for Easter break. It was heaven for my and my (cousin except for the snakes).

    Did this tour two years ago - we were staying on i-Drive and arranged it through Gray Line. It's a lovely little pootle through the lakes of Winter Park. We actually went back up to Winter Park on the Sunrail last year as it is such a nice little town / suburb.
    Well worth your time!

I LOVED SEEING MR. ROGER'S HOME BC I USED TO LOVED WATCHING MR. ROGER'S WHEN I WAS A KID.. THANKS FOR THE TOUR AGAIN! OH AND WHILE WE WERE ON THE TOUR WE SAW A BALD EAGLE IT WAS SO NEAT TO SEE!

    • @TheTimTracker
      @TheTimTracker  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    • @mwigton86
      @mwigton86 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      TheTimTracker yeah it was very shallow in the canals. But I saw you had to duck a couple of times lol. I also love seeing that really old moss tree, I think he had said it was older then america 😲

    We did this tour a couple years back and it was pretty neat. Very nice tour guide. Even provided us with raincoats when it unexpectedly started to rain, no extra charge. Would recommend doing it one time and enjoy the relaxing boat ride.

    I had no idea that Mr. Rodgers had a home in Florida! If you two ever get nostalgic enough to brave the colder north, and wanna hit up his home base of Pittsburgh PA, I would gladly be your guide! 😄 No theme parks here but we do have a couple of cute historic amusement parks, and quite a lot of fun sights, attractions and delicious food.

    I love your videos! Beautiful. I love that you two explore all over Florida, and give us all a better idea of what is available to do. In fact, we have been watching them for a couple of years, and they have been an inspiration for us beginning the process to move our family to the area. There is so much to do and so much sunshine in Florida!!! Do you have any tips about things we should know or think about or plan for? We really want to be in Central Florida, rather than north or south.
