My old stomping grounds! I used to live across the street from the orange, just maybe like 5 mins away haha! Very cool to see the comparisons and to see how much has changed!
That was amazing! I grew up in Sunrise, FL and every 2 years we would drive up with our pop-up trailer and stay at Ft. Wilderness for a 4-day weekend. 192 was THE way to Disney World from the Turnpike from the south. Lots of memories. Stay Weird!
Thanks Micah! Back in the day there were 20.00 Disney FL resident specials. We would take impromptu trips and stay at that Orange hotel. We could have a weekend for under 150.00 LOL. This video brought back nice memories.
Went to kissimmee first in 1990 been there 18 times since over 30 years love that old times pictures brings back great memories well done keep up the great vlogs.
Great video! I live nearby and always wonder about the places along 192. Sort of humorous that the person questioning your motives was someone from the church. 😛 I look forward to more of your videos uncovering local history!👍🏼
Kissimmee native here I wasn’t around in that era but just seeing those photos now is just a bit creepy, by the looks of it but crazy how much has changed
Brilliant video Micah! I remember the Rovers Return pub, named after the pub in the UK show Coronation Street. Really looking forward to more of these type of videos in the future.
I miss the Larson's Lodge,right next door to Watermania water park. My folks and i used to stay at that Larson's when we took trips to Disney world. It was in the game room of that lobby i learned how to shoot pool at 8 years old and saw for the first time the Dragon's lair arcade machine and the Shoney's restaurant in the lobby. Oh,such great memories of great times.
The Record Motel used to feel like a second home to me, I always thought it was the best place to stay in the area, and probably still is, even if the name as changed to Knights Inn.
Do you have record of the Homewood Suites in Kissimmee? We spent our honeymoon there in 1993. Pretty sure it's long gone. I just remember how fancy I thought it all was. Probably not that way now. Thanks for the video Micah😊
Interesting stuff..... A look back is good... Shows you how change can be for the better.... Orange world is the best.... Everyone must know you there... right?.... Liked the travel music at the end..... Sorry if people are rude to you sometimes.... If they would just watch your videos, they would see you are just sharing things we people, not trying to do any harm.... thanks for sharing... take care... have a great day... thanks....👍👍👍👍
My family rented a house in the subdivision across the street from the old Kmart in 1984 and 1985.. we walked up to Kmart a few times... 1988 hubby and me stayed at the Motel 6 across from old town ...Even seen the Coasters at old town..had a blast at Disney. Still have 1.50 beach towels we bought at one of the gift shops right there.
My wife and i stayed at the Record motel for 13 years when Sylvia Chinese lady owned it i have a photo of my wife standing outside the Rovers Return pub, she was a big fan of Coronation Street back home on the Isle of Wight UK.
I'm here now and went to Cicis, built into the crazy golf rocks, the one where it says GOLF across the front in big red letters. I'm trying to remember what used to be there, it had a model train set running round the rocks and was really cool. Anyone remember the name?
The pubs name was the rovers return not royers. It's based on a very famous pub from a British TV show. I remember going past it many times as a kid shame it's gone now
Micah in 83 I stayed at the hotel down near the entrance to the turnpike. Where the Waffle house was and 7 eleven set back. Forget the name. Do you have any pics of that area?

WOW, everything looked so "busy" and crowded in those early pictures.
CHANGE is everywhere. That was enjoyable. Thanks for sharing with us, Micah.👏🤠🌈
Hi Micah! We love when you do these retrospectives, especially since we never got to see those old attractions, businesses, etc!
Love your Highway 192 and I Drive videos. I always make sure to visit these spots whenever I am in town. Thanks for sharing!
Glad you enjoy them! Thanks

when we evacuated for Hurricane Ida we had went into a few of those stores. It’s crazy how some things are somewhat still the same.
Great video! I live nearby and always wonder about the places along 192. Sort of humorous that the person questioning your motives was someone from the church. 😛
I look forward to more of your videos uncovering local history!👍🏼
Can’t wait, I’ll be moving to Horizon West in 2023 and I’ll be taking my cars to Old Town !
This was awesome! It’s been so long since I’ve been there and seeing the difference was fun. Thanks 😊
Thank you

You should do an entire episode of interactions with people lol. That would get a lot of views
I was here in the 70s AND 80s. I miss how it used to be. No traffic
My wife and i stayed at the Record motel for 13 years when Sylvia Chinese lady owned it
i have a photo of my wife standing outside the Rovers Return pub, she was a big fan of
Coronation Street back home on the Isle of Wight UK.

Whatever happened to the Sun Motel! We used to stay there in the early 80's.
I'm from England I went in the 90s.i remember a massive sports shop with giant football helmets as the doors?
cool music
Can you do a video on what happened to the star motel
Do you have pics of people sleeping in their cars up and all the roads waiting for Disney to open for the first day??
The pubs name was the rovers return not royers. It's based on a very famous pub from a British TV show. I remember going past it many times as a kid shame it's gone now
Yeah not sure why I said it the way I did? Lol 😂
@@worldofmicah because the spot light on the photo makes it look like a y 👍
7491 Wilson world maingate resort hotel stayed there in 96 & 98
My now home sweet home
Old town and disney
The word "Motel" seems like a bad word now to attract patrons.
Those theme park discount prices are now for the parking charge.
RIP Xanadu House
Totally
Disney took all the patrons from these hotels after they started opening their resorts.
micah you say the pubs name is rovers not royers
Yeah I totally know it’s Rovers but for some reason I didn’t catch myself lol 😂
@@worldofmicah it's the uplighter that makes it look like a y
Micah in 83 I stayed at the hotel down near the entrance to the turnpike. Where the Waffle house was and 7 eleven set back. Forget the name. Do you have any pics of that area?
I don’t I’m sorry
@@worldofmicah No problem
Definitely not discount now. 🤑
Turning a pub into a church? What a terrible waste of a building!
