It's so great seeing others enjoy what we take for granted. It's no big deal until you see it through someone else's eyes. Thank you!

We say just "morning" in the US too. Maybe they just heard your accent 🙂 Celebration is an interesting place. I thought it would feel fake and tacky but it's really nice. It's similar to other suburban towns that copy various housing styles, except planned better. Looks like you all had a great day!

It reminded me of my home state of MA in many areas there. Although, there's no cell towers in the whole town, so reception is horrid.

I'm sure you guys know that Celebration WAS used as a prop town, in many films needing a "typical American small town/Midwestern vibe". Very similar to Seaside, Florida in the "Truman Show", because it looks so nicely artificial, and Jim Carrey's character lives in a fake town. It's a GREAT movie, and nice commentary on "reality" shows! Love Celebration! And you're fine just saying "Morning", we do this all over America, he may have said "good morning" just so he didn't sound like he was exactly parroting you. At least where I am, if someone says "good morning", the other person might say "how are you", again, just not to repeat exactly. Just a silly colloquial thing. "Morning!" is a perfectly nice and normal greeting! As is "Evening!"

Front yards are for mowing and back yards are for living. No one spends any time in their front yard where I live in the Midwest. Different states have different license plate requirements; for example, in Kansas we have rear plates only, but in Missouri, they have both. Since people in Kansas work in Missouri and vice versa, you see both. Since Florida attracts visitors from many states, you'll see both.

It's weird to go from your Live stream in Philly with tons of SNOW.... to now you're in Sunny FL!!!!

I moved to the US a long time ago, and it’s great to see you guys call out all the differences and new experiences I’ve totally forgotten/taken for granted.

Love Celebration Florida! That's where I would live, if I could! Glad you are having Legendary fun, and don't worry, you'll survive the Philly "Britzzard of 2022" just fine!

They are more scared of you. My kids were taught in school how to stay safe around water's edge and how to run from an opportunistic gator. Most of the smaller ones won't even bother looking at humans.

We went to Celebration for dinner the first week of December and they make it snow every night at 9pm and played Christmas music. The kids danced in the snow falling and it was very magical!

I always think of HOAs as Stepford towns. "You will conform".

We say, “morning.” There are no hard and fast rules about greetings. I agree that you are in a beautiful neighbor. In neighborhoods like Celebration, there are fees associated with living there. A portion of the HOA fee is for maintenance that includes a manicured front lawn, and there are rules as to how one can decorate their house. If a hurricane hits Florida, there is usually a significant amount of damage. Before the great influx of northerners, native Floridians built low ranch homes from cinder blocks. These homes are able to withstand high winds. When northerners began building homes, they wanted to build houses like those to which they were accustomed. Stick built homes cannot bear hurricane winds and certainly not two story houses.

I live in a master planned community in Texas and love it! The HOA rules are kinda wild but worth it

I visited Palm Coast, St. Augustine and Daytona Beach in November. Loved it so much I bought a lot there and am getting ready to build a house. Going to be quite a change from Northern California. There is SO much to do in Florida! I'm very excited to live there. Great place.

@Spring Is Coming 🇺🇸 I don't wear my politics on my sleeve and California is a big diverse state with many people of differing views. You can't generalize 40 million people. Let's just say I appreciate Florida as it is and wouldn't want to see it changed.

Love the Wrap around porches

Registration plates on front.. most states do not require them. They are seen as a waste of money, since the plate really only comes into play when the police are pulling you over, which is always from behind (they don't "overtake" and park in front like in some other countries). Also, in states where plates are only on the back, it is sometimes illegal to back into a parking space, because it conceals the plate. But normally, there really isn't a reason to have one on the front, and on many cars, particularly sharp pointed sports or luxury cars, the front plate is seen as ugly and detracts from the styling. In states where they aren't required, the cars sold don't even have the place to attach it, which looks so much better! But can cause an issue if you move to a state that does require front plates, a friend of mine had to use wire and attach it to her car's grille since there was no other way to attach it! Just another fun, weird thing about America, difference twixt states, I'm glad no front plates, cuts costs by half and looks much better imo! I was disappointed to find that all over England, indeed, most of Europe, the plates don't vary much. You can't tell where anyone is from. In my state, they even indicate the county the person is from, we like to know. If someone is driving badly, you can see they are from a county on the other side of the state, and say "oh, okay, they aren't from here and have no idea where they are going". LOL! They tried to eliminate the county info, but people rebelled so much, we were so used to just needing to know if someone is local or from out of town, that the state had to issue additional sticker to put on the plates! I guess the bad side of that is, some counties have big cities with lots of crime, so if you travel to the next county, and they see you are from "that bad county", people will judge them, and their chances of getting "randomly" pulled over goes up a lot.... in smaller town especially where they are always suspicious of big city people.

Unless personal, number plates in the UK indicate the area they were first registered, so if the first letter is "O" it was Oxford, "R" Reading,, L " London" etc. Sometimes the second letter narrow it down further.

This was such a fun video! I’m so glad you got to have a fun relaxing day together

I get that vibe from Celebration too, likes its all “Disney prop”, kinda like Wandavison, or that Xfiles episode.

Who else is 100% blown away that the US and the UK both share the word, blinds?

I loved this video! It would be awesome to live in Celebration. I loved all the houses. Thanks for showing it to us, Joel. And I cracked up when you said the bike rider was an "extra". 😅 Much love from Jean ❤❤

It’s nice that you guys are going for bike rides and actually enjoying your selves.

Thank you for the lovely morning! ☀️😊 ❤️

Really loved this video, and so happy you got to enjoy a relaxed day filled with sun and nature! ☀️

That looks like such a great day! I'm glad you enjoyed it. It looks like so much fun.

Lia: If you can get them, Nike N7 shoes are made specifically for Native American feet, which are also wider. They go quickly, so you have to be ready for the drop. MUCH more comfortable than normal Nikes.

I love watching yall!!!

Some states require a license plate in front and back, some like here in Pennsylvania, only require it in the back.

I really want to see you two go fishing lol doing all the work yourselves. Catch and release

So fun seeing you in Celebration. I live right down the street about 7 miles. Wish I had seen you when you were here 💗

Wow, sunny and beautiful. looks so fun!

I loved the hilarious car banter in the beginning.You two are just so funny together. I also loved your "lovely, leisurely bike ride". Thanks for providing Florida sunshine as I sit stranded in my house by the "bomb cyclone" blizzard here on the east coast of New Jersey.

Perfect morning! So much to see and do in Orlando.

living in Florida thr best thing for me is our warm weather year round because I enjoy riding my bike. there are bike trails that take you from town to town. some bike trails are as long as 40 miles long.

Very cool! Welcome to Florida

What a fun day!! Loving all the new content!

Good on you, Joel, adapting to driving on U.S. roads - I'd be taking many lives in my hands trying to drive over in the U.K.!😱

That was fun taking that bike ride virtually with you two. That danish looked amazingl My family and I are going to Orlando later this month. Can't wait! Watching from frozen Michigan.

Not ear muffs that they were wearing that's how they talk to each other in the truck

Its been really cool seeing your videos down here in orlando while I was there!!! (and still am there)

If you, Joel, like that kind of colonial style wood siding type housing, you would like Savannah, Charleston, and of course New England has tons of houses like that.

Fun to see you in Orlando. I've never been there but we went to our daughter's house in Naples for a week mid-December and it foo so so clean and lovely but with lots of Palm trees. I love it! I(We live in the Pacific Northwest south of Seattle) but my husband is a Londoner!

Loved this video 💓

Fun story. I was living in Orlando for school, right near Universal Studios (where the school is), at a Starbucks when I heard someone call my name. It was a guy I went to college with back in Philly a couple years earlier. I had only met him maybe 2 times. He said he was now living in Celebration.

This is the kind of day I would enjoy. I love a nice bike ride.

Loved this!

What a beautiful video. Lots of good sunshine state vibes. And I loved that you came across some critters. I do miss my Florida alligator sightings--except for when my husband and I got way too close to a gigantic one (we weren't being stupid--the thing literally blended into the landscape).

I had this in the background. Now watching.

I just love Celebration.It’s one of my favorite places.🙂

Love these longer videos

What a nice and relaxing day, it sounded so peaceful and quiet. I love going on bike rides with my family but we haven’t had much time to do it in a while, I wonder if they have tandem bikes at the rental place. It’s difficult for my brother and I to ride on our own since we can’t see very well, which sucks because then we basically have to depend on other people to be able to take us. It sounded like a lot of fun and a good day for a bike ride. 😎🌟❇️❤️

Lol, the firemen wear the “muffs” because they are headsets for them to be able to speak to each other. 😂❤️

🚴‍♂🚴🏘🏡🌴🐢 Looks like a lovely bike ride. In the summertime I'd imagine the heat would be too much for a long ride. Good time to visit.

At 4:42, you just passed my office. Lol

The area you're biking in is so lovely! It looks like my old neighborhood in South Orange NJ. Your bike ride is making me so homesick. J & L, I love your content. I've been following you for about 6 1/2 yrs. If fact, I call you may kids when I'm talking about you to my husband and friends , oh, and our other 4 children - ages between 52 and 58. :)

I have the same issue as you Joel.. I'm always forgetting to breathe! lol. I blame it on my anxiety. As soon Lia mentioned it in the video I took a deep breath. lol

Next time in Orlando, you must drive an hour to the coast and see Beautiful St Augustine. You will be impressed. Also that is where the fountain of youth is.

Just recently found your videos and I love them! The reason some cars have plates in the front of the cars and some don't is because some states require them in the front and some don't. And only half of the people in Florida, especially Orlando, are actually from Florida. The other half are tourists and people from the north who go to Florida to get away from the cold.

Celebration is “ The Truman Show “ . Enjoy…💜

Pretty sure that was a soft shelled turtle, remembering when I lived in Florida, and tried to catch one, warning they bite,lol. Great vlog J&L, Thank you!

Possibly a Pig Nose is what Joel was thinking of?

As far as the car tags go, it depends on the state. Here in Tx, we have a front and rear tag.

Guys you need to visit Muir woods. You would really enjoy it.

Certain states require both front and back license plates. I live in Michigan, where we only have rear plates.

On the “number plate “ or tag, in Florida you are only required to have the one on the back of the car. It is state specific so each state makes its own rules.

Some states require front and back license plates while others only require them on the back. Once while visiting family in Wisconsin from North Carolina my parents got a ticket for not having a front license plate, so my dad had to go and let them know that NC didn't require it on the front of cars.

Oh, Cranberry Bliss bars are the best! I tried a recipe knock off of it one Christmas but it wasn't nearly as good!

Love you guys

In some states having license plates on the front and back are mandatory but in FL the front license plate is not mandatory.

In some states they require plates in front. Some don't require them In front.

I'm from Ohio, but have traveled through half the US... "Morning" is commonly used here as well. Even on my daily conference calls that have individuals all over the country, most say "morning".

Love that y’all are speaking to a turtle.

❤ I love your channel! Edit: I love this episode!

I don’t know about other states but Oklahoma has no front plates on the front of the cars. It varies from state to state

Nice palms! You guys should have gone to the Keys so Lia could go snorkeling. Not sure if you guys went or not. Haha...noexistent town...never heard or been to Celebration. But, it looks nice. Would be nice to visit. Fresh orange juice from Florida is sooooooo good! Always get that when I'm there. I don't like OJ in a carton.

That’s a leatherback turtle. We have Bobcats and Armadillos on our bike trail.

Since you returned to us on this side of the puddle; you may enjoy looking into an unusual place. In grand rivers kentucky is acplace named patti's 1880 settlenent. It is near the land between the lakes. (The dam that seperates kentucky lake and lake barkley). Patti's has absolutely amazing food. And merangue pues over 10 inches tall. No joke. They have a lively bed and breakfast as well as boutiques. And, if you would be interested in exploring one of our national parks, a couple of hours drive is mammoth cave national park. As it is winter, going underground in a cave of constant temp; not a bad way to spend a winters' day. :)

I don’t know if you are still in Orlando but the best thing to do this time of the year is to see the Manatees in Blue Springs, which is in Orange City FL, NE of Orlando.

Celebration is so cool. I love driving through it. Moroccan time is 6 hours ahead of Florida. I wonder if he was "in character"? That turtle might have been a snapper 😬. Do people still have the electric golf cart cars there? That was fun 🙃

Nice camera work going through the boardwalk in the trees! Did you ask someone to watch your camera for you to ride past?

We call them license plates and it depends on the state. To me it always seemed that northern states required both front & back ones (I had thought that it was a combination of more crime and being more expensive but it could also have to do with less regulations in the South as well)

OMGosh.... Joel drank that expensive OJ very fast!! Lol

Someone might’ve said it already, but different states have different rules about two license plates or not. In California, for example, you need both, but in Tennessee, you do not. When we moved to TN from CA, my mom kept the CA one on the front (because TN DMV said it was fine) till a cop in Virginia gave her grief about it. 🤣
