So excited for our stay here in April 2025 can’t wait to show the family how cool the indoor atrium rooms are even if it overlooks the pirate ship or the Everglades
😂😂😂 Yeah I felt like I just had Thanksgiving dinner! But I'd have that meal all over again! I guess that's the danger of buffets. We want to get our money's worth but end up so stuffed!
Thanks for the review. It's a nice hotel and definitely a place you can check-in and explore for a couple days without leaving the property. Your positive energy is refreshing and this was pleasant to watch.
I was just there last week, and I can't wait to go back. I didn't see that night club but we did go to a sports bar called Weckers I had a jalapeños margarita, it was the best mixed drink I ever had and the buffet was also excellent, we had breakfast and the 3 egg omett with real eggs was the best I ever had, there is so much to say about the place but it's not cheap, you are at the Disney, Universal district and nothing is cheap there
Whoah! A jalapeno margarita sounds amazing! It's definitely pricey but pretty cool to experience. You can also even just pay for parking for the day to walk around the hotel. Thanks so much for watching!
Very nice! It's one of our favorite Florida hotels. So many cool features at this beautiful resort. It's even more fun if you have some kind of convention there. Awesome! 🤩🌴
From the outside driving by you would never know there was such a tropical oasis inside. I can only imagine what it's like to maintain such a complicated ecosystem. So glad you enjoyed! 😊
It's such an awesome place! We've been there when they have the ICE exhibit which is so "cool"! Haha. They keep it incredibly cold, enough to where you have to wear a parka since it's 9 degrees F. Whoah! Enjoy when you go!
Thank you so much Keilisa!! Sarah is the amazing editor of all of our videos. She LOVES having a creative outlet to be able to work on and is always trying to make our videos more entertaining. Coincidentally she's editing right in front of me and I mentioned your comment. You gave her a smile and she says thank you so much!! 💓
@@PSAdventures i have always thought so highly of editors. it’s such a time consuming hobby not to mention hard to learn. props to her again glad i found your guys channel it’s nice to just watch ppl living life to the fullest. (and so close to me lol)
We’re going with our kiddos next week to a convention at the Gaylord Palms. Thanks for the video, the kids loved to see what our adventure will look like!
I had never even heard of this resort and now it's the ONLY place I want to stay but a family of 4 with theme park tickets + flights from Australia and 2 weeks accommodation here would set us back around AU$30,000 and that's not including spending money 😞Well, it was nice watching the video anyway :-)
Oh wow Evelyn! That's a lot of money! I'm sure that the plane tickets alone would be most of the cost. One thing you can do to make it cheaper is that you can visit the hotel without needing to pay for rooms. I think the parking cost when we went was $30 a day so you can explore the hotel. If you visit the area it'd be a cheap way to see the hotel. Also Disney Springs is a fun place to visit that's free. I hope that helps!
Stay at a cheap hotel, (there are hundreds in the area) on theme park days, and stay here or at Disneys Beach club and do half of the vacation as pool days. - It’s a total waste of money to stay here on days you will be in the parks.
I wrote y'all some time back about the manatee park in Apollo Beach. The Tampa news just said a few minutes ago the the park will be opening tomorrow for the season. If you check there is a county park called Simmons Park near by that should offer camping.
Oh yeah we remember! It's starting to get a tiny bit cold in Florida so I bet the manatees would be moving to warmer areas. We'll have to check it out. Thanks so much Rusty!
Ok so we’re staying here in October and I’m sooooo excited after seeing your video! This video was so great thank you for sharing 🙏🏻 also love your bathing suit! Where is it from?
That's so awesome Meghan!! We'd love to go back there anytime. It's such a cool place. Sarah says she thinks she might have gotten it at Marshall's a while back. I actually don't think she even has it anymore! Thanks so much for watching and have fun at the Gaylord!
It was actually a private party for the dental convention and dentists were bringing their families. It's amazing how many conventions go on in that hotel on a weekly basis!
Definitely on our list to visit! Such an interesting hotel. The food looked delicious! Love the Everglades section. It is so lifelike. Waterpark looks awesome! Great video!
It's definitely a cool place! If you go in the summer the water park is awesome, but if you visit in the winter they have an amazing exhibit called ICE. They give you a parka to walk through the ice exhibit that they keep at 9 degree F! We've been there during a hurricane and it was beautiful weather inside. Haha. So glad you enjoyed!
We're so happy you loved our video! No it's definitely not all inclusive. The hotel price is fairly expensive and you also have to pay for food and drinks separately. To save a little bit we like to leave and go to nearby Kissimmee and get some takeout and bring it back. It's a cool hotel though!
Awesome Melanie! Having a reservation helps during busy times when there's a convention going on but you don't need one. We actually waited in line and got in within 10 minutes or so. From there you get a nice table and have a great time! Enjoy!
"Food, glorious food!" (; Were you able to find enough vegan food at the Gaylord? Love the "Key West" section!!! This was such a different video than your recent ones where you were staying in tiny house and a houseboat! And everything pretty much indoors too. Wish me well as I am having surgery tomorrow.
We found a lot of good vegan food at the buffet and were so stuff after. 😂 The Gaylord Palms is such a cool place to explore. Oh wow Freeman. Good luck on your surgery. We wish you the best of health and a quick recovery! 💓
Thanks for the comment Debra! We normally put prices of different places we've stayed but the Gaylord Palms is all over the place in their pricing. It can be $200+ or really expensive at $500+. They raise their prices depending on time of year and during conventions. One thing you can do if you're on a budget is you actually don't have to have a hotel room to go there. Instead you can pay $24 to park for the day and enjoy the whole place except for the water park. It used to be you could also go to the pool but at the moment it's only for people who have rooms. Hope that helps!
Hi! We've seen lots of families visit the Gaylord Palms hotel in Orlando. The main attraction is probably the waterpark area, which has a great splash area for kids and activities like movie night in the pool. Around the holidays, they also have great activities for children and families, like decorating gingerbread houses. We've actually done that and had a blast!
Wow! You're so close! You could actually park there for the day for a parking fee and enjoy the hotel. The only thing is that currently the pool is for people with hotel rooms. It'd be nice if they let the general public in even for a small fee. That's awesome that you're so close!
Nope! It seems like more hotels are now putting water right on top of the counter but then also putting a tag on it saying basically if you drink it you'll be charged something like $5. That's crazy! 😮
Thanks for the question! Not necessarily a night club but they have a sports bar and sometimes when there are big events going on, they turn the convention center into pretty cool creations that might look like a night club. It's a pretty amazing hotel!
I know right?? The prices really did skyrocket but you might be able to find a good deal on an off-season. It's a pretty cool place now that they've added the water park!
I think I remember they have floaties that you can get from the shop that are included. Otherwise I definitely remember they have life jackets that a lot of people like to wear. It's not very deep so it's up to your whether you think you might want one. Thanks for watching!
We wish it was included! So it's not typically included, but we remember there used to be packages around the holidays that include some things around the resort, like a meal at the buffet. Wonder if they still do that? 🤔
That's a tough one! You'd have to find what their off-time is but it's hard to tell since they have so many conventions there. Other ideas to lower the cost would be to just do day trips there to enjoy the hotel or split the cost with friends because it can definitely be expensive! If you find a better way we'd love to know because we love the Gaylord Palms!
@@PSAdventures thanks for replying. We'll be taking a carnival cruise from Orlando in june next yr and thought we would fly in 2-3 early to get to know Orlando, saw your video (which was a great video) and totally loved what we saw👍
Yes! It's the Gaylord Palms owned by Marriott. There's actually several other ones around the country like the Gaylord Opryland in Nashville, and another large one in Texas. They're pretty impressive if you get a chance to visit!
We're glad it helped! We've gone to the Gaylord Palms many years in a row and we're always so stuff after the buffet at Villa de Flora. It's a little pricey but the food is good! Enjoy!
Yes... All of Florida gets severe weather. There's possible hurricanes from June through November, and then we often have daily thunderstorms through the summer, which can have some wicked lightning! (I think Florida is still the lightning capital of the U.S.) But we once saw a water funnel coming at us on Christmas day, so winter's not off limits either.
It's the coolest. Actually, just remembered that we actually spent the night in that hotel to ride out a hurricane many years ago. It was near to spend time walking the lovely interior atrium while it was storming outside!
Ha! 😂 We forget how the name originated, but the Gaylord hotel brand has been around a while, and is now owned by Marriott. And there's multiple Gaylord hotels in the US, each really unique!

WOW! Who needs a theme park when you have this resort? The resort is the vacation. Lol!
I know right!? This place is so cool to just walk around and enjoy. It's really like being in another world to itself. Definitely worth a visit! 😊
So excited for our stay here in April 2025 can’t wait to show the family how cool the indoor atrium rooms are even if it overlooks the pirate ship or the Everglades
You're going to love it! It really is a world in itself with a lot to enjoy. Have fun and thanks for watching! 💓
We are going to here next week with my husband and our kids. I am so excited😍
Yay! Have a wonderful time! Weather's been so nice and warm so hopefully you get some great pool time as well. 😃
This place is super nice! Great memories! And I remember being in that “lazy” river. Not at all lazy😂
The very wild river! It should come with a warning: your hair will get wet! 🤣
This is the best video of the Gaylord resort
Thank you so much Angel! ❤️❤️❤️ We're happy you enjoyed it. Any time we get the chance to go to the Gaylord Palms, we love to go and explore!
Everything looks amazing, beautiful! Definitely, I will visit sometime soon!🤩
Woohoo! It's so fun! 😄

@@PSAdventures Thank you!
You guys are super cute. Thx for the thorough tour!

Our favorite resort in Orlando. Eastern States Vet Conference Party Place.

great video! I was just there, and got the opportunity to shoot some great footage as well!
Hey thanks! It's a really great hotel. And it's wonderful to see how it's changed over the years. 😄
Never stayed there , but passed by it a couple times and always wondered what it would be like to stay there. Thanks!
From the outside driving by you would never know there was such a tropical oasis inside. I can only imagine what it's like to maintain such a complicated ecosystem. So glad you enjoyed! 😊
These comments are surprisingly mature. I didnt come to this video for a review, you know why im here
Haha! 😂😂😂 We can only guess why you're here but we have a good feeling.
I’m going in December, and there are so many holiday activities in addition to the regular activities there. So excited! Great video!
It's such an awesome place! We've been there when they have the ICE exhibit which is so "cool"! Haha. They keep it incredibly cold, enough to where you have to wear a parka since it's 9 degrees F. Whoah! Enjoy when you go!

I played in a table tennis tournament (JOOLA Global Open) there last fall in 2022. Gorgeous beautiful place, but my gosh is this place expensive
OOOooh, table tennis pro?! That sounds fun! It's definitely a beautiful resort! (and expensive, especially these days...)

It was actually a private party for the dental convention and dentists were bringing their families. It's amazing how many conventions go on in that hotel on a weekly basis!

Can somebody pls explain me why they named the hotel „gaylord“ and nobody‘s wondering about it?? 🤣
Ha! 😂 We forget how the name originated, but the Gaylord hotel brand has been around a while, and is now owned by Marriott. And there's multiple Gaylord hotels in the US, each really unique!
Hi
Hello Wolfie! 👋
🛼🛹
We wish there was a skate park in there! Whoa that would be cool. 🤙
The hotel is amazing. But one problem name, WHY! I would rather call it something else.
It's definitely a different name for a brand! 😆 Gaylord is the family name of the founders of the Gaylord Entertainment Company, which apparently got into the hotel business starting with their hotel in Tennessee, and has since been bought by Marriot (although they've kept the name on those hotels).
What's wrong with Gaylord ?
I’m from Illinois, is it safe ? Are there alligators roaming on roads, parking…?
Ha! Far from it. The Gaylord Palms is a pretty upscale hotel. They do have some small alligators that have their own little environment behind a fence so you won't have to worry about them. You can get a good view of them close to the hobby. It's pretty cool!
Too many restaurants, the alligator would never have a chance...
