Oh wow! My husband and I stayed in this hotel when it was a Howard Johnsons for three nights in September 2001. Had a beer or two at that very pool bar and enjoyed a wonderful conversation with a guy from Scotland. The last day we checked out and went to Magic Kingdom. It was 9/11/01 and the park was evacuated. We drove the backroads back to Tallahassee as we didn't know what was coming next. Very scary memories. Had no idea sitting at the pool bar how the next day the world would change.
That morning of 9/11 we left home for vacation to Panama city beach Florida from Chattanooga and fighter jets were zooming up and down the coast line beaches
It's amazing how ignorant we all were. It was as if people thought their town would be next - because Kissimmee, Florida is a major international financial center and makes sense. And the stuff we didn't know - like how the attacks were completely preventable by the CIA and FBI actually sharing information instead of being in a deadly pissing match.
I worked in a Howard Johnson's Restraunt here in Fresno back in the early 1970's. Everyone but the main manager liked me. He was looking for a man to replace me behind my back. That's against the law these days, but women didn't have the same protections back then. That Howard Johnson Restraunt and motel are long gone now.
Adam same here , live in MYrtle Beach SC . Been watching your videos since ghost town days , old heritage USA , south of border etc etc ! Love your channel man ! Myself and girls love your channel !
@@TheDailyWoo ive been waching you since the ravi world video or a little before that . Your videos put me in a good mood and let me relax and forget the stress of life . Thank you adam ur the man 🤘✌
Old school Adam, love it. “AdamThe Woo goes on adventures for you, he don’t even ask your mom” if you know this, you have been watching him a long time
People, usually from other countries, buy those hotels and run them in to the ground. The just take every cent as profit and don't put any money back in. They just keep running them until they fall apart.
It makes me sad to see abandoned places that were once hustling and bustling with people and laughter and memories of families having fun and now its desolate.
This is old school Adam. Reminds me of the time where you entered a hotel or something that was abandoned and you met some people. You went and bought some water, food and supplies and gave it to the people living there. I believe that was out west in Cali.
@@Regina0964 Yes he is and he says that in the beginning. But about 5 years ago or more he was in another abandoned structure where he did the things I mentioned.
@@RhettyforHistory yep, he goes back and forth from Cali to Florida, have a great day, I'm waiting on the sun to shine here in Wisconsin today, and thinking of going on a road trip to Rock City, haven't been there in about 5 years, but love those caves and the wooden walk bridge...
Ok, this just got weird. When you mentioned Howard Johnson’s, I realized that we stayed there with our kids in June of 2000. Just pulled out the photo album and confirmed it. If memory serves, they had a couple pools, but the larger one was closed for renovation when we were there. Probably bought a hot dog from you, Adam!
@TheDailyWoo In the late 1980s/early1990s there was a huge store that sold seashells. The place was really massive. Does anyone with local knowledge know where that was located? If so, is the building still there? I wonder if the Mermaid gift shop on 192 might have been the former seashell store. 🐚 192 has seen a lot in the last 20 years.
I loved this. I started watching your channel because I was watching abandon videos. I like that you change up your content regularly. Travel, Disney, baseball I love them all. Thank you once again for always telling a good story!
I stayed here with my mom and dad in fall of 2003 when it was the Howard Johnson. The IHOP next door was the first IHOP I had ever been and I thought it was the greatest. We ate at the Shonny’s that was near there as well. The last night before we were to leave my dad got appendices and he walked to the hospital in celebration! So we had to stay a couple extra nights. We didn’t have a car because we flew in from Indian to go to WDW. Thanks for taking me down memory lane, Adam!
Excellent video, Sir...definitely a step back in time for you in two ways: Your former place of employment and revisiting a video format that you used to feature a lot in the past!
That weird parking space is where they corral those commercial trash dumpsters. You push them in sideways and then rotate them. If they start to “roll away” they can’t get out. Oftentimes these are either surrounded by walls or put in the back away from Public view.
This is cool. I love visiting old places myself. I've driven by houses I haven't lived in for 20 or 30 years. I've also driven by old schools I went to years ago, one of which has since closed. It's always a surreal feeling seeing these places, reflecting back, and seeing how much these places and yourself has changed over the years.
That was as scary as a haunted house. All the debris and junk laying around, not knowing if something or someone was going to pop out at you. I’m surprised every room isn’t occupied by the homeless. Nice someone is feeding the cats but they really do need rescued.
Love this! This feels old school, didn't even ask my mom, I legit teared up a bit, been with ya since the beginning Adam and just realized how fast time is going.....
My wife and I love your videos my wife is disabled we really look forward to your videos thank you for sharing your life with us you just have that personality people like to watch
I Read a couple comments (silly crap)..... And, I must say, Whole hardheartedly, I am very glad you matured in your videos (massively Love the old ones! but) The respect, care and heart now show the goodness and love of your craft!!! Keep it up man!
My wife worked at that hotel in his glory when there was bustling people trying to get booked in. It is a shame that Walt Disney world has almost created a monopoly? 😓
Hi, Adam. Came to Disney this weekend for a birthday trip. After getting booked into my hotel, I realized that I'm located right beside the Claremont Hotel. Thanks for the videos.
I always find it so weird to be in places that I worked in a long time ago. Something about working somewhere gives you a certain attachment to the space. Thanks for the vid, Adam.
Wow what a blast from the past. I’m Canadian and back in 1979 my parents and myself went to Florida for March break and we stayed in a hotel just like this ( Orlando area, right on the strip near Wet n Wild park) I can just barely remember it today. Wet n Wild and Disney Land were of course the best part. Thanks Adam!
Wonderful to see a video harkening back to your roots on this platform Adam. I remember finding your channel from the abandoned six flags video. Amazing video as always, Adam! Keep up the great work.
This video harkened back to the videos that hooked me on Adam the Woo, and I didn’t even ask my mom! Great video and thanks for sharing a bit of your past!
Great explore Adam, made me think of the old days when you went to lots of abandoned places. Times change, and I know they started cracking down on urban explorers, but this was a good video...a blast from the past ! We love watching you Adam,( not Disney that much)but we love your traveling videos.
Old School ATW style Vlog oh how much I miss these! Your next abandoned exploration drop the old intro theme song. Just as a tribute to the past and all of us original channel viewers! 🙏🙌 Thank you for this. I bet you really enjoyed this!
It’s amazing for someone who’s lived most of his life in SoCal to see a property left abandoned like that for any length of time. Land is just too valuable out here. If that hotel had been near Disneyland, it would have been torn down, rezoned, and there’d be condos there by now.
It should soon... The west end of the 192 has been completely renovated or is just brand new since that was the last area to get built out.. Slowly they're renovating in an easterly direction... It's sad that a lot of these former motels that are still 'operative' have become homes to families, the school buses pick the kids up there in the mornings. I moved from the UK to Kissimmee Florida in 93' I remember a lot of the before, there's constantly so much change but for the locals... A lot of the change, whilst its def an improvement the prices are out of a lot of local families annual income.
HEY, ADAM THE WOO YEAH, that was a long time ago but it's pretty cool to reminisce and remember about the old times we had in our life's and our old job, friends, and how we spent our time OK another great video I really appreciate and enjoyed this one take care stay safe God bless and Will see you on the next adventure
@@davidmag808 was just a comment David. Similar to how Adam shows photos of movie scenes then and after. Would be cool to see a photo before. No need for the foul language. 😀
Oh wow thanks for doing this video Adam reminds me of the days i would sit and binge watch your original channel and all the abandoned places you would visit.
It's always interesting to revisit your past. Through some of your OC videos, I've been able to do that from at least some 3rd person perspective. As a long time employee of both Angel Stadium and the Convention Center, your visits to those locales are always a blast from the past for me. And when you've explored the same streets of old town Orange that I explored countless times in my youth, I get those goosebumps of nostalgia. I haven't been to an Angel game in 11 years. I haven't been in the Convention Center since my last day of work in 2014. And now that I'm approaching 9 months since I left California, who knows if I'll ever get a chance to explore them again.
Love seeing this I rented a car and returned it there back in 2016 it looked alittle sketchy but was active place interesting hearing all your history there love memory lanes in life!
As someone who has been watching you since the beginning I’m super excited to see this kind of content again. Also I love the added detail of you still continuing to jingle as you walk through these places lol just like old times.
From Disney to baseball, to locations, etc! You always deliver great content!!!! Thank you Adam! The Umbrella and camera....Help your explore! Not Security nor cop! Sort of a clever accident/or planned! Love what you do!!!!
We stayed there when it was a Howard Johnson’s and I remember when we moved back to Orlando in 2007 we stayed in the hotel next door (Rodeway) as well every weekend while looking for a place to live. The pool at the Rodeway would have “AFRs” from time to time similar to what you brought up and the 2 hotels would partner so there was always a pool to use. I remember it being very cold water. I think water mania was already closed at that time but the abandoned property was still there. Even years after the land was cleared the Lynx bus would announce Water Mania right at the corner of US-192 and Celebration Avenue.
Those were the days when I was in Kissimmee with my kids; we had a timeshare at Parkway International. My kids are now grown, and the timeshare has been sold. Seemed like every year we went, 192 would get more and more deserted . Sad to see the decay.
Yup. All of those big Disney resorts put em out of business. Especially after they opened the value resorts. I mean, I’d wanna stay as close to the parks as possible too
Areas of the 192 are definitely shadows if their former selves... But if you pass the celebration area and head west on 192 its all brand new, Margaritaville is a really nice resort (expensive) it's where the old splendid China used to be... But head east... Well we just don't if we don't have to..
Thought Adam wasn’t doing abandoned videos anymore… but he did mention doing videos about his old workplaces. This entertaining video brought to you by loopholes! Love it!
I love these types of videos, I wish there were more. Very good that you used to work there. I worked at Maxwell House Coffee Plant 20 years ago, I wonder if they will let me take a video tour. They are called speed bumps in my part of the work. I think I would be too much of a chicken to circle the old motels, especially with the though to the current residents and I don't mean raccoons. I usually use a orange safety vest when I want to look official, maybe I should try an umbrella some time. Next time you come near Jacksonville FL, let me know and we can explore somewhere or just of fishing. Thanks for sharing.
This is so cool. On our first trip to Florida in 1991, my wife and I stayed at the "Gala Vista" motel right next door. (Now called the Rodeway Inn). It sure brings back memories. Amazing to see how things have changed.
YES! Old School Adam The Woo! From the opening "Shall you" to the water faucet, this video had it all. Just missing the opening theme song. Thank you for this!! :D
Wow, great video! I love abandoned video's. Reminds me of your video's in the beginning. And thanks for sharing the memories. Those were different times
That's good you respect the people who are living there. They should turn the hotel 🏨 into apartments for homeless people. It's nice to see 👀 where you used to work at. That's nice of someone to feed the cats 🐈. I 💜 cats 🐈and dogs 🐕.
That wouldn't be a bad job to have back then. It actually seemed to be pretty fun at times. Too bad someone couldn't have bought it and fixed it up before it got too run down. It still probably could be fixed up and rent the rooms out to people who need a place to live. I'd love to do that for people who were having a hard time. ( if I could afford it ) 😊😉 Thank you Adam for sharing this place where you used to work. 👍
hello Adam! haven't watched any of your stuff in literally months! this is a very cool video to "come back to". Fun and very much like the older stuff you used to post. :)
Awesome to see you out and exploring again. Started watching you when you were traveling the country in your van. Those were my favorite videos! Well done.
My family once stayed in that same hotel in the late 90s while frequently the theme parks. I think it was a Howard Johnson at that time. I had no idea you worked there ha
Love this format, its what drew me to your channel when you only had less than a 1000 followers. Miss the old style vids like this. Awesome job Adam, love this stuff!
Sitting there all day listening to others talk about all their fun times at the parks had be pretty dull and yet inspiring at the same time. Probably made you desperate to go back!
I used to love staying on the 192 in the late 90’s. It still baffles me that people choose the expensive Disney hotels instead of some of these that were very reasonably priced…. Maybe thats why they went bust, who knows.
I'm not sure if disney charges to park on site . But universal studios does. They make it very convenient. Also they have shuttles to site from the airport. It's a no brainers now in my opinion
Great to see you doing abandoned places again far more interesting than another disney video over and over I started watching your channel years ago with the splended China ,and house of the future videos And this hot tub was distroyed The dragon is just chilling there Whatever that place was

It´s amazing that it's been 21 years since the year 2000. I remember being a teenager back in 1989 wondering what the year 2000 would be like.
According to many back then, flying cars should be popular by now.
Me too!
It always makes me a little sad when I see a once-thriving place, abandoned.
Same here. I always wonder what led up to it.

Excellent video, Sir...definitely a step back in time for you in two ways: Your former place of employment and revisiting a video format that you used to feature a lot in the past!
That weird parking space is where they corral those commercial trash dumpsters. You push them in sideways and then rotate them. If they start to “roll away” they can’t get out. Oftentimes these are either surrounded by walls or put in the back away from Public view.
Thank you Adam. You are a good story teller. Any episode that ends with the cats getting feed must be counted as outstanding. Well done.
Now this is the type of content that made me fall in love with this channel back in the day. 🤗

Always a strange feeling to stand in the footsteps of your yester year but a good feeling to think about how far you have come. Loved this.

This is so cool. On our first trip to Florida in 1991, my wife and I stayed at the "Gala Vista" motel right next door. (Now called the Rodeway Inn). It sure brings back memories. Amazing to see how things have changed.
I remember staying in this property as an extended stay when we lost our home . We left 3 weeks before they actually closed I believe back in 2015
YES! Old School Adam The Woo! From the opening "Shall you" to the water faucet, this video had it all. Just missing the opening theme song. Thank you for this!! :D
This is what I needed to see today, thank you for doing another video like this :)
Wow, great video! I love abandoned video's. Reminds me of your video's in the beginning. And thanks for sharing the memories. Those were different times
That's good you respect the people who are living there. They should turn the hotel 🏨 into apartments for homeless people. It's nice to see 👀 where you used to work at.
That's nice of someone to feed the cats 🐈. I 💜 cats 🐈and dogs 🐕.
That wouldn't be a bad job to have back then. It actually seemed to be pretty fun at times. Too bad someone couldn't have bought it and fixed it up before it got too run down. It still probably could be fixed up and rent the rooms out to people who need a place to live. I'd love to do that for people who were having a hard time. ( if I could afford it ) 😊😉 Thank you Adam for sharing this place where you used to work. 👍
Disney killed Kissimmee!
@@bodyloverz30 Not entirely since a LOT of Disney Cast Members do live in places like Kissimmee and permanently!
Maybe a car wash, and play ground for families..
hello Adam! haven't watched any of your stuff in literally months! this is a very cool video to "come back to". Fun and very much like the older stuff you used to post. :)
Awesome to see you out and exploring again. Started watching you when you were traveling the country in your van. Those were my favorite videos! Well done.
I miss you doing this type of content old school is cool
Oh yeah, that hit the spot. More abandoned malarkey, please. 🙏👍
Awesome video. Thanks for sharing a bit of your past. It’s always very interesting seeing these old buildings and a history on them !!
Ugh a throwback style video, love it!
My family once stayed in that same hotel in the late 90s while frequently the theme parks. I think it was a Howard Johnson at that time. I had no idea you worked there ha
Yep spent a lot of time by that pool
@@TheDailyWoo ....@32:52 hidden mickey. ...have a great day☺
Thank you Adam, this was awesome, old school ATW
This was so cool! Thanks for showing us this place Adam!
Love this format, its what drew me to your channel when you only had less than a 1000 followers. Miss the old style vids like this. Awesome job Adam, love this stuff!
Sitting there all day listening to others talk about all their fun times at the parks had be pretty dull and yet inspiring at the same time. Probably made you desperate to go back!
I LOLd at the “beehive of activity”. Touché
Happy to see you going back to your original video content that we all love to watch
My favorite kind of Adam videos! Great stories!
Yes!!! Old school vibe feels today 🥰
Throwback! Nice. Remember ‘Gary’s Duck Inn’? Great place to feed the catfish after enjoying a family meal while on vacation in Central Florida.
For some reason I find it very therapeutic to take trips down memory lane every once in a while. It's amazing all of the fun memories that pop up.
These videos are why I first started watching you ... much love! 👍👍🧡🖤
It really is disgusting how the buildings are not torn down and just allowed to rot. What a blight on the neighborhood! SAD! 😔
That, unfortunately, is what goes on in a lot of the United States.
I used to love staying on the 192 in the late 90’s. It still baffles me that people choose the expensive Disney hotels instead of some of these that were very reasonably priced…. Maybe thats why they went bust, who knows.
I'm not sure if disney charges to park on site .
But universal studios does.
They make it very convenient.
Also they have shuttles to site from the airport.
It's a no brainers now in my opinion
Great to see you doing abandoned places again far more interesting than another disney video over and over
I started watching your channel years ago with the splended China ,and house of the future videos
And this hot tub was distroyed
The dragon is just chilling there
Whatever that place was
Yes...YES!!...this is what l like to see..fun stuff, interesting...fun parts of days past..great stuff..keep it up!!
Scary place ,must've been fun for a young Adam working there in its heyday tho;another great video love from Scotland ATW.x
