I remember seeing that giant orange as a kid on my first trip to Orlando back in 1982 with my grandmother. She was a big Disney fan and was my gateway to my love of all things Disney and Florida. Can’t wait to get back down there again.
@Garity Yager California and Florida are both extremes. People are dying and that’s not something that should be taken lightly, but neither should the impact on businesses.
@WickedlyMe328 As much as I agree with you, the point of mask wearing is to prevent overwhelming the hospitals which are happening right now. Less positive patients, less stress on hospitals.
Guess now I have to watch “The Florida Project” and check out these shops next time I go to DisneyWorld. :D Living vicariously though you, Adam! Love your channel. :D
Going inside reminds why I don’t go inside these shops. But, with millions of visitors a year, there obviously have a specific customer in mind. Actually, much cheaper to buy a Disney shirt there than in the parks.
Adam! I must thank you.. making me smile & laugh.. even when I don’t have much to smile or laugh at recently! Couldn’t help it with the ‘Felicia’ joke. 🤣😂🤪
These shops have taken new meaning for me after watching the movie, The Florida Project. Hopefully, you didn't see any unattended children who live in dilapidated Motels nearby.
Went to the motel the movie was shot at and it looks much better in person then it did in the movie. I loved that movie because it portrays the reality of Orlando.
... a great video, as usual, Adam. I agree with what you said about coffee mugs.😱🤣 It still seems so strange to see so many empty stores. Take care, Adam.👏🤠
Also, these "giant figure" souvenir shops were always an endearing part of our summer vacation trips growing up. It makes me happy to see them still around. 💜 Was immensely sad to see Shell World go though. 😢
Attractions Magazine commented on one of TimTrackers videos and said one family owns many of the gift shops and the stuff is actually officially licensed. Also heard Disney sells them the items that didnt sell or are out of season.
So many cool & different things to do, and see, around the Orlando area! I love vicariously visiting all these different places in Orlando, and you are our best guide! Thank you Adam the Woo!
i always enjoy these stomping-ground-type vids you put out, such a cruise-like vibe. and in some small way it helps promote economy by sharing with viewers where to go to spend money on good deals.
4:01 Man I was so stoked to see the Planet Express Ship on your arm I spent two years in FL and never really fell in love with it, but your videos have a way of making me really appreciate some places, Florida included
SOME FUN FACTS..:: My Friend**** Roland Dempsey**** painted Most of Those Gift Shops up and down on 192,,,,,The Restaurant Ichaban next to it Is The BEST Buffet,,,,,,!!! The Hotel Across the Street Sun inn & Suites My Husband and I were Head Of Maintainance for 12 years,, That was also in The Movie The Florida Project When they got thrown out of the office scene...with Willem Defoe..I love it when you do Vlogs on 192 now that we moved back to Ct That what you thought were paper towels was a Scroll...Flames used to come out of the Torch,,,,,YEARS ago...
I like these stores for trading pins, shirts for myself when I don’t pack well, and gifts for people I don’t care about that much 😂 Always fun to look around for a good deal here and there though!!!
I’m a bit confused about why people complain about the same content? You always have the option of not watching. Adam is entertaining to me regardless of location. Also, tons of Disney vloggers constantly post repetitive content. Just my two cents. Keep up the good work and stay safe!
The Orange and The Wizard are down the street from me. I love stopping by there. The last time I went to The Orange I picked up the little Mickey Mouse Tin with jelly beans in it.
Orange World has been a favorite shop of my family for decades. It's a required stop any time I visit my folks who retired to the Orlando area. It's nothing really special overall, but it's become a special place to us as a novelty attraction.
@1:33 that is one end of a scroll... There are two scrolls one on either end... that parchment paper is roll up. Haven't you ever seen Raiders of the lost Ark movies (cant remember which one, there is a scene where he has two rolls and rolls them out unveiling the paper messages. Here the parchment paper is blue and unraveling out to say GIFT SHOP.
These were always a fun staple to do with my grandparents and mom in the 90's on days we would do half days at the parks or pool days. International Drive has gone through so many changes. Watched my favorite hotel pool near the big Mcdonald's (use to have a fun Cosby cut out there haha) and near the old Mercado get torn down before the days of staying on property. Walk or drive to Wild Jacks and the Dairy Queen. Makes me realize how much my family sacrificed for me to have fun in FL every year spite their health and financial issues. My grandma use to love these little gift shops. I took my daughter to one and she said, "And what exactly is going on in here right now?" haha it was fun to share this with her generation before they disappear. Thanks for doing this video, Adam! Loved it.
Orange World is fun to check out, the fruit is nothing special except too expensive BUT this is the only place I've been able to still find Orange Perfume which I love love love!
i've only ever seen this dude on your channel and i've seen him quite a few times lol never gets boring though its always like oh yeah that exists!( the wizard i mean)
Awesome video Adam ! My parents lived in central Florida for years and when I’d come to visit I’d always want to stop and go in those shops but never had the time so thank you for showing them to us. Stay safe down there and again thank you for the videos
Absolutely save splash mountain!! One of the original attractions and one of the three mountains of disney well four including everest..but still I love splash mountain nostalgia big time..give princess tiana her own ride and just take out the song in the last part of the ride of splash mountain cause that's the only time you hear it..owell I guess we will always have the memories!!! 😔😔😔
Those stores are great - where else can you get a Florida Shot Glass and Ashtray?? Sometimes with a shellacked alligator!! I've been in the Mermaid store! When my daughter was 4, we went to Disney. On the way to find dinner, we passed the Mermaid store. Welllll, she thought it was a theme park, "Mermaid World!!" We had to stop and show her it was a Gift Shop. The small Haul she picked out convinced her it wasn't a theme park.
the way I automatically know where every gift store is in Kissimmee. hahah I distinctly remember going to the mermaid store and the wizard with the castle inside last year, the clothes are good quality too! I need to drive down to those stores again, i miss them even though i live in Orlando
Adam, you should check out Jolly Creek at Boggy Creek Airboat Adventures in Kissimmee. The laid off Grand Floridian Orchestra plays there. My uncle is the drummer in the band. It's a fantastic show!
when you are in that area, you always miss the giant american flag gift shop by the McDonalds. it is also a 2 story gift shop. the building itself has no stand out features but the entire building is painted like the american flag and other awesome stuff.
Love "The Florida Project" so much! Have seen it 3 times. I used to live in an apartment complex in Central Florida, so it has more meaning. "When in Rome moment" was a perfect analogy. "Shamu-less" cracked me up! It's funny because when I lived there I never knew there were two Wizards! I only thought there was one, so, maybe I was confused and thought the other one was the same one, because as you say, they're in close proximity. :) Nice vlog today again!
Hi Adam! Kinda off topic, but I thought it might be interesting to you because I know you've mentioned it in previous videos. I may be incorrect, but as far as I know, I have the only known existing video footage of Chris actually grabbing the black Les Paul in the Rock 'n' Roller Coaster pre-show at Disney MGM Studios (filmed in 1999) - and also the holiday version of Fantasy Waters called Holiday Fantasy at the Disneyland Hotel (filmed in 2000). Also that was super nice of you guys to greet Spence and Katie at the airport - she was super nervous about flying LOL. Hope you guys are having a great time at WDW!
My daughters name was below your name on the mugs...amber. One thing i do like about your videos is how you detail the prices. Coming in from other states gives an idea on prices. Havent been to Fla since my mom passed in 1997. Even tho its the panhandle, now i want to go back. Thank you.
Thank You Adam for sharing. I wish I had some of that orange juice. Whom or who ever did the painting on the building did a beautiful job. There is a lot of money invested in these stores.
Very fun vlog Adam nice to switch it up and do something different other than the theme parks because you’ll have plenty of time for that when Spencer and Katie get there now I must say with all times over the years that you’ve driven by those stores I would always say I wonder what it’s like in those stores well you finally brought those stores to life by going in there and I thought all the stores had a lot of nice stuff weather it was your style or not also I was totally waiting for the day you would go in the big orange 🍊 and you looked like you were in heaven when you were drinking your orange 🍊 juice and I’m just glad you got to experience the real deal orange 🍊 juice but probably my favorite store was the two story one and I must say it was really nice Adam just to see a little more of Orlando so with that peace ☮️ love ❤️ and MARRY CHRISTMAS 🎄 to you Adam and I’ll see you on the next vlog adventure also please be safe out there
Sees Felicia mug: “I’m gonna say bye to that one.” 😆😆
That's exactly what I came to comment!
@BicMicFlame Have you never seen the movie "Friday" from 1995?
LOL
RIP DEBO
Masks are going to be around indefinitely. You should be collecting advertisements without them for nostalgia.
I remember seeing that giant orange as a kid on my first trip to Orlando back in 1982 with my grandmother. She was a big Disney fan and was my gateway to my love of all things Disney and Florida. Can’t wait to get back down there again.
I'm kinda relieved that these places are still going strong although obviously struggling.
Yeah. I’m sure some of them won’t make it though. At least some people are still going to the parks as opposed to the ghost town around Disneyland.
@Garity Yager California and Florida are both extremes. People are dying and that’s not something that should be taken lightly, but neither should the impact on businesses.
@WickedlyMe328 Common cold doesn't incapacitate people and overwhelm ICUs. Something you idiots love to forget.
@WickedlyMe328 As much as I agree with you, the point of mask wearing is to prevent overwhelming the hospitals which are happening right now. Less positive patients, less stress on hospitals.
@@xCaLLMeGHeTTo no but the flu does
MAN, this is nostalgic...thanks for continuing to hit these places up, Woo.
Guess now I have to watch “The Florida Project” and check out these shops next time I go to DisneyWorld. :D
Living vicariously though you, Adam! Love your channel. :D
Going inside reminds why I don’t go inside these shops. But, with millions of visitors a year, there obviously have a specific customer in mind. Actually, much cheaper to buy a Disney shirt there than in the parks.
I love old 192.. I need a Mickey Mask magnet!
There are still a few left
The Florida Project is such a great movie I wish more people knew about it.
Love that movie.
Oh my gosh! I actually enjoyed this particular episode Adam. I have given it a big thumbs up. 🙂
Adam, you have very discerning taste when it comes to purchases! ☝💜
Adam! I must thank you.. making me smile & laugh.. even when I don’t have much to smile or laugh at recently! Couldn’t help it with the ‘Felicia’ joke. 🤣😂🤪
These shops have taken new meaning for me after watching the movie, The Florida Project. Hopefully, you didn't see any unattended children who live in dilapidated Motels nearby.
All the hotels ip and down 192 is home for Many,,,Worse now than ever,,, Its sad,,,,There are Videos on youtube that shows how bad it is now...
Went to the motel the movie was shot at and it looks much better in person then it did in the movie. I loved that movie because it portrays the reality of Orlando.
... a great video, as usual, Adam. I agree with what you said about coffee mugs.😱🤣 It still seems so strange to see so many empty stores. Take care, Adam.👏🤠
Those masked mickey items will surely be a collectable in the future.
Also, these "giant figure" souvenir shops were always an endearing part of our summer vacation trips growing up. It makes me happy to see them still around. 💜
Was immensely sad to see Shell World go though. 😢
Visited a few of these when I stopped by some of The Florida Project Locations. Awesome content as always Adam!
Attractions Magazine commented on one of TimTrackers videos and said one family owns many of the gift shops and the stuff is actually officially licensed. Also heard Disney sells them the items that didnt sell or are out of season.
I really enjoyed this video. I remember driving by many of these nostalgic places as a kid. This might be my favorite video you've done in a long time

Wow such memories, spent many vacations in all of those gift shops on 192, Thanks for the memories love all your posts 🎄
These places look sketchy AF but I love it lol. Such a fun video! I know you’ve covered these shops before but always fun to see an update.
The first wizard on the tourist shops used to have a wand in his right hand. The hurricanes of 2004 took it away. They were never replaced.
YESSSSSSS to the "Save Splash Mountain" magnet!!!! I LOVE that!!!
4:01 Man I was so stoked to see the Planet Express Ship on your arm
I spent two years in FL and never really fell in love with it, but your videos have a way of making me really appreciate some places, Florida included

Hi Adam awesome vlog at the wizards 🧙♂️ gift shop. Very magical gift shop 👍🏻
I’m a bit confused about why people complain about the same content? You always have the option of not watching. Adam is entertaining to me regardless of location. Also, tons of Disney vloggers constantly post repetitive content. Just my two cents. Keep up the good work and stay safe!
My favorite video DAILY THE WOOOO
These shops are fun. More interesting than regular mall and stores. Just fun. Pop in more while you're there.
Just hearing your voice is calming. Thank you. Stay safe!
‘This one with Mickey, Donald,and Pluto’ actually Mickey, Donald, and Goofy. That was super funny in a good way
The exterior of these shops are infinitely more interesting than anything they contain.
Fun little jaunt to see the souvenir stores. Wishing you a super week. I am enjoying your vlogs with the other vloggers too. Stay safe. Hugs Susan
The Orange and The Wizard are down the street from me. I love stopping by there. The last time I went to The Orange I picked up the little Mickey Mouse Tin with jelly beans in it.
Ahh Good. You are back with the Wizards and HWY 192. I'll bet they missed you too
Thanks for sharing. I would love a masked Mackey magnet ! Cute.
I love all your 192 videos. We used to go down every month for vacation, but now i just watch your videos. lol
Orange World has been a favorite shop of my family for decades. It's a required stop any time I visit my folks who retired to the Orlando area. It's nothing really special overall, but it's become a special place to us as a novelty attraction.
Love the video! Shopping is always fun🛍Thank you so much for shopping local🙂
Those same mugs were there when I first visited Florida back in 1993. One currently rests on my mother’s cupboard.
“Arabian Nights $10” at Orange World. Ooh. Good deal.
Loved the passholder magnet and pin. What a great way to remind you of 2020 and Disney.
@1:33 that is one end of a scroll... There are two scrolls one on either end... that parchment paper is roll up. Haven't you ever seen Raiders of the lost Ark movies (cant remember which one, there is a scene where he has two rolls and rolls them out unveiling the paper messages.

Thanks for sharing, love the passholder magnet and pin 👍
Been to all those Places Adam and your Making me Miss em... Soon, Very soon!
I love the old Wizard show from years back.The Big Wizard!
That was goofy not pluto😂 thank you for all your videos. They make my day
They should sell t-shirts with the wizards on them.
I always think of you and Matt's Rad Show going around to these gift shops!
Mickey is out of COVID compiliance by wearing is mask under his nose rather than over it.
Awesomeness, Magic Castle is awesome, you're awesome Adam
Thanks you my friend 💕💕 merry Christmas everyone here 😁
You're right. That second wizard definitely looks like he's been up to something.
Right ? Ha
T-shirts $1.99… “Here comes Adam!” Price skyrockets To $5.99 LOL
They saw him coming inside the store, lol. Let's raise the price a few dollars.
My daughter loves those gift shops. The beach we visit has one that you walk in through a sharks mouth.
Jaws in Panama City? There's a sister store with a whale called Moby Dick's-- or there was. I haven't been up there in awhile.
These were always a fun staple to do with my grandparents and mom in the 90's on days we would do half days at the parks or pool days. International Drive has gone through so many changes.

Loved it.
This video brings back memories when I was on international drive 20 years ago lol
When I first found Adam the Woo, maybe 4-5 years ago, it was a video on this same Wizard store that got me sucked in. Still here today :)
I give this video a "Big Thumbs Up". Thank you for giving those of us who can't visit central Florida right now a window in. Great work.
Orange World is fun to check out, the fruit is nothing special except too expensive BUT this is the only place I've been able to still find Orange Perfume which I love love love!
We drove past that store last week. My daughter said, " look, Gandalf has his own store."
Dude said "A Roll of paper towels" haha
i've only ever seen this dude on your channel and i've seen him quite a few times lol never gets boring though its always like oh yeah that exists!( the wizard i mean)
Paper towels?- Scroll, Strange aquatic fish- the Lion fish
Awesome video Adam ! My parents lived in central Florida for years and when I’d come to visit I’d always want to stop and go in those shops but never had the time so thank you for showing them to us. Stay safe down there and again thank you for the videos
I love passing by those stores, but it’s been years since I’ve been in them
Everything in the south sits next to a Waffle House.
😂👍
I wish one was next to my House!
I have been to the big orange many times for sure. We have gotten oranges from there and pecon logs. Gotta love these tourist trap places.
I noticed that Mickey has his nose sticking out of the mask ! What a hoot !
Adam always love when you do your Hwy 192 Vlogs! When I’m at Disney World can’t ever pass up the these great gift shops! sweet shark tee sir!
That was funny the coffee mugs "I have to say good bye to that one"
Absolutely save splash mountain!! One of the original attractions and one of the three mountains of disney well four including everest..but still I love splash mountain nostalgia big time..give princess tiana her own ride and just take out the song in the last part of the ride of splash mountain cause that's the only time you hear it..owell I guess we will always have the memories!!! 😔😔😔

Ay Love to see you go to places that you used to hang out in Florida. Stories about your past are really interesting. Old school, friends etc.
Wizard #2 seen some things that cannot be unseen
Adam I buy a gallon of that orange juice at the big orange every time I'm down in Orlando. It's amazing! Thanks for bringing that highlight to my day.
when you are in that area, you always miss the giant american flag gift shop by the McDonalds. it is also a 2 story gift shop. the building itself has no stand out features but the entire building is painted like the american flag and other awesome stuff.

Thanks for the memories 👍🏿
I have fun memories at that magician gift shop!!!!
Bye Felicia, you should get that mug for Katie. There are so many gift shops.
I want to visit them all.
I always laugh when these types of establishments separate “Disney” and “Epcot”.
At the bank it IS 2 different entities
Have you ever been down to Everglades City and Chokoloskee Island?
THAT would make a very interesting video !
That Admiral Ackbar mug is great! “ITS A MUG!”
Good to see the ol' wizard😎
Adam keeping it real... Bring it!!!
Man Woo, that lighthouse...!

That's one charming wizard
That's a lot of new magnets. We're gonna need a bigger refrigerator 😄!

Cool store! Had some nice shirts I would definitely buy. Awesome video as usual Adam!
Thank You Adam for sharing. I wish I had some of that orange juice. Whom or who ever did the painting on the building did a beautiful job. There is a lot of money invested in these stores.
You should do another series of ask Adam the Woo! I miss those!
