In 1989 I worked as one of the opening staff of Pleasure Island (now Disney Springs). At that time, the restaurant where Eisner apparently signed that deal was called the Portobello Yacht Club. I worked next door at a place called the Fireworks Factory (I also waited on Eisner and Katzenberg- both drank a lot of Diet Coke). The Empress Lilly is or was the name of the steamboat that housed Fulton's Crab House. Now, I guess it's called Paddlefish. Thanks for the walk down memory lane.
It was still called the Empress Lilly when it was Fulton's Crab House, so I assume it would still be named that. They just changed the restaurant inside. (Former World of Disney cast
I'm from Dublin (I was born here and I've lived here for 40 out of my 42 years). There's no restaurant in Dublin called Cooke's. There is one in Galway, but it has no connection at all to the one in Disney Springs. Strange, eh? 😊
Tim! Thank You so much for inspiring me to start my TH-cam channel! i started one week from today and uploaded my first official vlog a couple days ago! Orlando was so much fun, except me stuck in the rain at Disney haha! anyways, thank you for being a great inspiration! much love xx
Thanks for taking a selfie with me even though I was super awkward, today💜🙈 I'd been on the go since 4 am and I got overwhelmed... My siblings were jealous, we love you guys! -Emily
Tim, your fans (like me) will always love each video you make because we love hearing from you and your personality. Jen is super cool 😎 and you are the cutest couple I have ever seen. Anything you would have posted would have been perfect 👌. Also thx so much for showing us all around Orlando. Love ❤️ from a Super Fan . P.S. I ordered a shirt and it looks really cool, hope it arrives tomorrow cause I'm going to DisneyWorld tomorrow. Thank you 😊
I love how they dont just say sorry we missed a video we were busy they genuinely care and they explain what happened and that is 1 in 1000 reasons why i love them
Hi Jen and Tim! For the past semester I have been studying abroad in Sydney Australia and have been missing home periodically. Disney has always felt like my second home (I grew up with Disney as our yearly family vacation) and watching your videos and the joy you guys have in the parks always makes me feel a little better
Hi Jenn! Could you check out the Cherry Tree Lane Dress Shoppe in the Co-Op? I'm going to Disney soon and I want to get a dress from there but I'd like to know some more stuff about it. Thanks!
I just wanted to thank you both for all the hard work you do,. We all appreciate the high level of content and information put out at each place you visit.
That face Tim made when Jenn said she wanted to go to Sephora LOL! Tim was such a great sport. I love Sephora and am a VIB member. I'm excited to see more Jenn makeup videos! I'd love to see her do Disney princess inspired makeup tutorials! I haven't been to Disney Sorings since it was Downtown Disney! Where is the best "new" place to eat? Also what is your favorite restaurant there overall?
HI JENN!!! Look forward to watching Jenn's Sephora haul. My husband keeps asking me if you have shown any updates on the bathroom remodeling. ? We enjoy the videos of your projects around the house. Like that new fence too!
I really like Disney SpRangs! in the late evening. We enjoy sitting down by the many different spots near waters edge listening to musicians, having adult beverages and people watching. It can be very entertaining. We are really looking forward to Edison.
Tim,my wife has a Ford C-Max Hybrid,not the plug in one but they make it in that version.She drives all day visiting patients(home-care nurse) and gets a steady 38 to 40 mpg.Recently our mechanic told me it has the most power of any hybrid he ever drove.Ford also makes a Fusion with the same engine.You should check it out,she loves he car.
Wow it changed so much! i use to be a cast member at Magic Kingdom and go to all the bars and big clubs in downtown Disney! Thanks to share all that new stuff !
Very happy to see there's going to be a new video coming to Jenn's channel soon! Before you mentioned that you were filming for it, my comment was going to be "I WANT TO KNOW WHAT'S IN THE BAG!!!"
I have a chevy volt and love it. Download the app charge point to see more chargers in your area. Usually he parking is in a much better location, on par with handicap
Paddlefish is the best place to grab a drink at the very top deck. You can hang out and enjoy the whole view of the marketplace section. Usually nobody is up there and it seems like you have it to yourself. You gotta try it next time!
I go to Disney Springs weekly but yesterday I decided to spend the entire day at The Magic Kingdom. I am starting Traditions in the morning so I will be doing a lot more vlogs on my channel. I will be at Avatar Land tomorrow Tim, can't wait to experience what you have already gotten to experience a month ago tomorrow! :) Hopefully you stayed cool yesterday at Disney Springs, it was extremely hot! :O
For the wrap up video, make categories that you want to discuss and rate them, out of 10 points, between the parks. E.g. Tim mentioned the theming between Volcano Bay and Typhoon Lagoon. I forget which one he liked betteer between the 2 but the better one would get a higher score
Thanks for including the summary on electric vehicle charging opportunities. It's pretty much the same here in Los Angeles. The one big opportunity is to find a grocery store that provides free charging while shopping.
Omg I'm so early 😂. Love you guys! Orlando is my favorite place and I plan on moving there after college. My family goes two-three times a year (we have a universal season pass) and you guys help us keep up to date on what changes when we aren't there! Please keep up the great vlogs!
I just got a Chevy Bolt and parked it at the Universal valet. They park it and plug it in you just have to sign a waiver. I am actually in Orlando this week house sitting for a friend and would let you take a look if you wanted to meet at one of the parks or a mall. I really love the car so far!!!
I LOVE your videos......my brother actually started watching your vids before I did and I'm glad I took his advice and started watching them.....my best friend and I are planning a trip to Disney and universal for next October for my birthday
Tim, I went to Paddlefish last week for the first time. I had the swordfish and thought it was excellent. They were also very accommodating for my gluten- and soy-free friend. Be sure to get a reservation. Also, you find the prices steeper than I did, as I was on vacation and was willing to splurge.
LOL about the Savannah Bee kiosk! The Brown Derby Lounge was having a lot of similar problems with attracting bees, being that they had an outdoor bar full of sugary ingredients/drinks. It was... oddly charming, though? We're going to try Paddlefish this weekend. I'll try to keep my husband from swimming in the fake springs. ;-)
universal has the electric car charging stations for guest as well and they have them in the employee parking lot which I think is really cool even though I don't have an electric car yet.
Just curious! But do they have the electric car plug ins on top of the garage because of solar panels? I went there in April and I didn't even go up there and look at it
You would think that in Disney Springs they would have a sprinkler system like they have in the parks, either that or a cooling area. Don't you find that there are too many restaurants offering the same food within short distance of each other in Florida?
Hi Jim and Jenn love all ur blogs keep them comin . Me the wife and daughter r comin over July 15 for two weeks from Scotland. What r the best restaurants in each parks and at Disney springs . we have booked 1 in each would like to meet yous for a selfie and say hi .thank James or as my family call me (Jim tracker ) because I always watch your blogs .😀😂
Paddlefish was easily the best meal of our last trip (march) cannot recommend it enough! Great staff, delicious food. Pro tip: eat outside! Gorgeous view :)
Literally cannot wait to come out in September 😎! Your vlogs really help for planning our trips there so I know the best places to go eat and have fun! We went Disney Springs in 2015 but didn't make the most of it. The only problem I have with Florida is what the humidity does to my hair 😂 frizzy mess!!
I'm going to Disney on Thursday and probably Disney springs, haven't watched the video yet but and places you highly recommend me and my family to do at Disney springs?
Tim, if you haven't finished your water park comparison vlog yet, I've got a question for it. How do you get so much speed using the mat slides at the water parks?
I went to Paddlefish shortly after it opened. My food was really good and the servers and bar staff were awesome but it was pretty pricey. I feel like a lot of the full dining restaurants that have opened recently have fallen into that trap. Like I like Paddlefish, but the past two times I've gone to Disney Springs with friends, we just go to Blaze or Earl's for dinner because they both have great food and are cost effective.
I hope that you figure out what to do with the comparison video Tim and Jen i know its going to be really good my friends and it stinks that Disneyquest is closing really soon i am going to miss it.
fab vid so good to see Jenn i hope Tim paid for your shopping :) oh by the way it very wet here in the UK we did have a min heat wave last week lol looking forward to the water park re-cap vid x
I went to Pattlefish last April after they renovated hoping it would be the same experience as it was before with the crab legs because that's where I had my very first ones. The waitress seemed rushed and the crab legs where not fresh at all I would not go there unless you see somethings change.
+thetimtracker @thetimtracker I was there with my now Fiancé on May 19. We only had fish. We didn't have the steak or anything like that. We thought it was great at Paddlefish. I recommend going.
I think I heard somewhere that they're moving wolfgang puck to a different part of disney springs so maybe the new steak place will replace where it currently is? Not sure
I have an electric, and a hybrid. I don't bring my Electric car (Not because of range anxiety, but if something happened to it, i'd be distraught). The spots are also almost always taken by either other electric cars, or ICE cars (gas cars).
TheTimTracker Yes. It says that you can be towed if you're not an electric car, but people do it anyways. It happens mostly at Disney, but it'll happen everywhere.
No worries about the Waterpark wrap up. I appreciate that you are taking the time to get the video right.

Guys, I wish we could see more of the two of you at home, hanging out, cooking, playing in the pool, etc. I love the two of you together.
"When you vlog and the words don't come out right" = me in every vlog! #relate
You were close with the name of the Spiderman villain. It's the Vulture.
I laughed way to hard when you made that noise hitting your thoat😂😂😂😂
hahah i thought he was like making fun of her for some reason when that happened
It was pretty dang uncomfortable!
I'm from Dublin (I was born here and I've lived here for 40 out of my 42 years). There's no restaurant in Dublin called Cooke's. There is one in Galway, but it has no connection at all to the one in Disney Springs. Strange, eh? 😊

The Angel Abraham what's its name
Thanks for taking a selfie with me even though I was super awkward, today💜🙈

5:34 Tim his name is Vulture can't wait for Spider-Man Homecoming!!!!

Yay Tim and Jenn!! You guys should do a Q & A!
I love how they dont just say sorry we missed a video we were busy they genuinely care and they explain what happened and that is 1 in 1000 reasons why i love them

I couldn't help but yell out "YES!" when Jenn said she wanted to go to Sephora! Can't wait for the haul! Love your videos!
- Yvette
Hi Jenn! Could you check out the Cherry Tree Lane Dress Shoppe in the Co-Op? I'm going to Disney soon and I want to get a dress from there but I'd like to know some more stuff about it. Thanks!
Thank you guys for your hard work and focus on quality vlogs! That's why you are the best!!
All electric parking for Disney theme parks are up front in front of premium parking. Kinda sweet... Are there no plugs for EV's @ springs?
There are 3 in each garage. But they are up on the top floor of each parking garage.
Jenn is such a delight. I love seeing her in the vlogs!
I just wanted to thank you both for all the hard work you do,. We all appreciate the high level of content and information put out at each place you visit.

I like that you are trying new things. We will love it when you love it!
Tim you're awesome !!! You aspired me to share my love for Disney on TH-cam thank you !!!
Jenn, your skin is glowing! I'd love to hear about your Sephora haul and what products you are using regularly now!
What!! Jen has a channel!! Why didn't you "link it down below" what's it called!!
jenndoesit
Wow it looked hot!! Awesome update for Disney Springs! Can't wait to see Jenn's video haul!!!
I've been waiting for a video forever!!!
Oh my gosh Tim, have you ever been to a Savannah bee company? They are so good. If you like honey, I suggest honey comb! It's amazing.
HI JENN!!! Look forward to watching Jenn's Sephora haul. My husband keeps asking me if you have shown any updates on the bathroom remodeling. ? We enjoy the videos of your projects around the house. Like that new fence too!

So happy to see Jenn! And I can't wait to watch her makeup haul!
That moment when jen says their is no breeze then her and tims hair look like its being blown
Tim,my wife has a Ford C-Max Hybrid,not the plug in one but they make it in that version.She drives all day visiting patients(home-care nurse) and gets a steady 38 to 40 mpg.Recently our mechanic told me it has the most power of any hybrid he ever drove.Ford also makes a Fusion with the same engine.You should check it out,she loves he car.
Wow it changed so much! i use to be a cast member at Magic Kingdom and go to all the bars and big clubs in downtown Disney! Thanks to share all that new stuff !
Yay Jenn! Can't wait for your vid! You both work so hard and are so awesome! 💙
It's wonderful to hear that you both want to put out the best video possible, and I can't wait to see it! :)
Very happy to see there's going to be a new video coming to Jenn's channel soon! Before you mentioned that you were filming for it, my comment was going to be "I WANT TO KNOW WHAT'S IN THE BAG!!!"
No worries about water park video- can't wait to see it when it's ready! We can't wait to see what the Edison is like
The vids are always great but I love love love when you guys are together.
I have a chevy volt and love it. Download the app charge point to see more chargers in your area. Usually he parking is in a much better location, on par with handicap
Jenn's laugh is freaking adorable!
Paddlefish is the best place to grab a drink at the very top deck. You can hang out and enjoy the whole view of the marketplace section. Usually nobody is up there and it seems like you have it to yourself. You gotta try it next time!
it was slammed yesterday, but had to get in the last run for Disney quest
Love seeing the two of you together in videos! Jenn is always gorgeous but has been especially glowy lately :)
The concern in Jenn's voice when you hit your throat, hilarious!
Thanks guys, we would have missed not seeing a video from you today😃
I go to Disney Springs weekly but yesterday I decided to spend the entire day at The Magic Kingdom. I am starting Traditions in the morning so I will be doing a lot more vlogs on my channel. I will be at Avatar Land tomorrow Tim, can't wait to experience what you have already gotten to experience a month ago tomorrow! :) Hopefully you stayed cool yesterday at Disney Springs, it was extremely hot! :O
JENN YOUR HAIR IS GORGEOUS OMG
we appreciate the time you put in to your videos
yaaaaaaas Tim Tracker squad!
Love you guys! Really looking forward to the Sephora haul😍

These are the best youtubers ever im going florida orlando in 25 days cant wait
first comment
COMMANDO- SWaqqx No sorry but I live in Florida you might find me ;)
French Raptor nah rather find them
Omg I'm so early 😂. Love you guys! Orlando is my favorite place and I plan on moving there after college. My family goes two-three times a year (we have a universal season pass) and you guys help us keep up to date on what changes when we aren't there! Please keep up the great vlogs!
The time between my disney trips from Boston is thoroughly made better by your vlogs. Thank you!
Can you do a video at Disney Quest before it closes.
This Is Why I actually think he already does, but i'm not 100% positive
he did I seen it but it was like a year ago. I want to see if anything has changed.
Wait! is that a real chid alone at 10:18?
I just got a Chevy Bolt and parked it at the Universal valet. They park it and plug it in you just have to sign a waiver. I am actually in Orlando this week house sitting for a friend and would let you take a look if you wanted to meet at one of the parks or a mall. I really love the car so far!!!
You cannot rush perfection! Always nice to see you guys together. Cant wait to see this video.
Paddlefish is sooooo good!!! I went for lunch around 12:45 and there wasn't anyone there so the service was awesome!! Highly recommend it!
It looked so hot there. You could almost see the humidity in the air. Stay Cool!
Jenn gets so happy at Sephora😂😂
I agree with the heat yesterday,we were at MK the day you were at Disney Springs! And we were dripping with sweat! It was hot as you know what!
I LOVE your videos......my brother actually started watching your vids before I did and I'm glad I took his advice and started watching them.....my best friend and I are planning a trip to Disney and universal for next October for my birthday
Have you guys seen La Nouba yet? I would highly recommend it!
Tim, I went to Paddlefish last week for the first time. I had the swordfish and thought it was excellent. They were also very accommodating for my gluten- and soy-free friend. Be sure to get a reservation. Also, you find the prices steeper than I did, as I was on vacation and was willing to splurge.
I think a good pun for the duck toys is Snow White and the Seven Ducks🤣!
LOL about the Savannah Bee kiosk! The Brown Derby Lounge was having a lot of similar problems with attracting bees, being that they had an outdoor bar full of sugary ingredients/drinks. It was... oddly charming, though?
We're going to try Paddlefish this weekend. I'll try to keep my husband from swimming in the fake springs. ;-)
Thanks for the update! I just watched a previous visit from around Oct last year and was hoping you'd do an update. Woo! 👍
universal has the electric car charging stations for guest as well and they have them in the employee parking lot which I think is really cool even though I don't have an electric car yet.
Just curious! But do they have the electric car plug ins on top of the garage because of solar panels? I went there in April and I didn't even go up there and look at it
there is more at TTC in the front ;) charge stations
Really? Disney's Website only said Epcot and Animal Kingdom.
Hey Tim have recently started watching you're videos and really enjoyed them so far and have earned my subscription keep up the great work :)
That noise Tim made in Sephora is the same noise I make everytime I look at my receipt after a Sephora trip.
You would think that in Disney Springs they would have a sprinkler system like they have in the parks, either that or a cooling area.
Don't you find that there are too many restaurants offering the same food within short distance of each other in Florida?

its nice to see you jenn! feels like a min since we saw you in a vlog :) hows the bean going?
Paddlefish was easily the best meal of our last trip (march) cannot recommend it enough! Great staff, delicious food. Pro tip: eat outside! Gorgeous view :)
The weather here in Orlando is Killing me, it rains every afternoon thank for the video guys 👌
I LOVE THE VLOGS I LIKE THE TIMTRACKER
Our Hybrid has a remote function where we can turn the air con on from our mobile phone so the charging points on the roof wouldn't be an issue.
awesome video Tim and Jen. I love your channel so much
Literally cannot wait to come out in September 😎! Your vlogs really help for planning our trips there so I know the best places to go eat and have fun! We went Disney Springs in 2015 but didn't make the most of it. The only problem I have with Florida is what the humidity does to my hair 😂 frizzy mess!!
Tim, how do you feel about Disney Quest being converted into NBAX? Personally, I'll miss DQ because I love classic video games!
Adventures by George a damn shame
I feel like Disney Quest could be great if they did a complete update of the games and experiences
I have zero interest in anything NBA related, but the same is true for Avatar and they built a whole land for that..
Super sad about Disney Quest leaving!!
We love Disney Quest! I will never go to NBA more than once.
there's like 10 people saying"first" lol. It's time for a new trend.
I'm going to Disney on Thursday and probably Disney springs, haven't watched the video yet but and places you highly recommend me and my family to do at Disney springs?
Ayyy, me too c: The Orlando Eye, millennium mall, wonderworks, and Ripley's believe it or not are pretty cool.
Cassandra thank you definitely looking forward to my trip, and will try to do as much of that as I can!
David Palacios they have a video of their favorite things at Disney World so you could watch that.
Liam Connaughton thanks, will take into consideration
Tim, if you haven't finished your water park comparison vlog yet, I've got a question for it.

An exceptional hair and mustache day Mr Tracker
I went to Pattlefish last April after they renovated hoping it would be the same experience as it was before with the crab legs because that's where I had my very first ones. The waitress seemed rushed and the crab legs where not fresh at all I would not go there unless you see somethings change.
Ding dang! I just missed you guys! I am going to drive over to Disney Springs for the day tomorrow!
+thetimtracker @thetimtracker I was there with my now Fiancé on May 19. We only had fish. We didn't have the steak or anything like that.
We thought it was great at Paddlefish. I recommend going.
I think I heard somewhere that they're moving wolfgang puck to a different part of disney springs so maybe the new steak place will replace where it currently is? Not sure
jen, your hair color looks especially pretty today! the ends are such a great shade of blonde.
what about a bathroom and fence update guys and my family is coming first week of Dec hope to run into you guys
I enjoy your vlogs soo much. Thank you!
I have an electric, and a hybrid. I don't bring my Electric car (Not because of range anxiety, but if something happened to it, i'd be distraught). The spots are also almost always taken by either other electric cars, or ICE cars (gas cars).
Non-electric cars are parking in the electric car spots?
TheTimTracker Yes. It says that you can be towed if you're not an electric car, but people do it anyways. It happens mostly at Disney, but it'll happen everywhere.
