      A lot of positive energy portrayed in this channel, which tends to influence positive things. There was a time... Long ago.... where kings and queens spared no expense to have muses, and consolers that had a positive influence on them (modern example.... Queen Elizabeth the II's ladies in waiting) we often spare no expense for the wrong things, and it leads to the wrong attitudes around us.

    Fun fact: There is also a very very big orange here in Montreal, Quebec. It is called Orange Julep. I don't know the history of it but it is a well loved landmark and a pretty good fast-food restaurant that also serves orange juice.

      ​@@SuperEnthused i knew every single one of those shops from at least driving by (they're hard to overlook lol). my faves are somehow always the wizard ones, dunno why, but maybe because it was the very first gift shop i ever stepped in all those years ago.
      this video could've been an hour long and you just roaming silently through every isle and i would've loved it just as much. gosh darn it i miss orlando!
      i know that feeling of being home too. everytime i step outside the airport and get that first breath of warm, humid air, i can't stop smiling, cause i know i am back and the next days are gonna be awesome! i wish i could just move there like you did.

    The first time I ever rented a house in Kissimmee, the owner-provided directions (yes, this was pre-GPS, pre-cell phone and even pre-map quest printouts 😂) said to stay on 192 until you saw the giant Wizard gift shop and then make a turn. It said you can’t miss it! Two hours and lots of frustration later, we learned from a local that there were two giant wizard gift shops and we were near the wrong one 😂😫 Where do you find not one but two giant wizard gift shops? Only in Florida, my friends! Great video, Jackie - brings back many fun and torturous memories! 🤣😍

    So cool! I love seeing little tourist trap destinations in your line-up, places that really show what Florida is all about. Speaking of which, what I’d really like to see is a Jackie “Fireside Chat” talking about living in Orlando. Many of us dream of doing just that! But how is it really? How bad is the traffic for day-to-day living? What do you feel is lacking in a life in Orlando? How expensive is it? You know, that kind of stuff. I guess it may not fit the focus of your channel, but I’d still value your opinion. Enjoy your day!

As a child I loved getting the baskets filled with shells, and the little license plate with my name on it (yep, this was in the 70s). I also bought a miniature orange tree that is still going strong, and flowers every few months, although the oranges it produces are small and bitter. As an aside, I also really like the hair cut. It looks good.
