What a great early Christmas gift!! SAM, YOU'RE THE MAN!! Jackie, you are a very lucky girl!!
Merry Christmas you guys… What a great hotel.. I never stayed there before… What's the best part of staying there ….
Awesome video Merry Christmas Sam & Jackie love y’all 🙌👏🏼👍🏼🎉🎈🎊🙏🏼🌹💙❤️🎼💃🏽🕺🏼☃️⛄️🎅🤶🎄🥰😎
That was such a wonderful surprise that Sam did. Only way to up it for next year could be a resort view from the Grand Floridian, or get the Yosemite suite (Presidential suite) at the Wilderness Lodge as they decorated it for Christmas, even with a tree.
Your husband is a very nice guy!!..The one time I tried something similar was MUCH harder to keep secret as long as you did….back in 1998, right after Bellagio opened for the first time in Vegas, I managed to convince her we were going to Disneyland for a day trip and managed to hide the suitcase in the trunk, so she had no clue…until we passed by the highway that connects the I-15 to Anaheim and kept on going…and only then did I have to fess up! She (as well as out then 5-year old son) was GOBSMACKED! And we had a Great time!
Well done Sam ❤ cant wait for next years gift surprise 👍 ❤❤❤❤ lovely to see you both enjoying this amazing trip and so loved up its fab to see xxx ❤ enjoy xxx ❤❤
35:44 I purchased the “Hey Disney” skill for my Alexa devices. When Sam said that, the Echo Dot in my bathroom picked it up 😂. I wish I could have it play the Space Mountain queue music when I go to bed. That would be so relaxing.
Of the resort gift shops I went into while resort hopping last year, I liked BVG at the Contemporary and Conch Flatts at Old Key West the best.
Fantastic blog Jackie Sam hit a Homer with this one happy holidays to you and Sam😊
I wish the US Disney hotels went as hard with their theming as the Japanese Disney hotels.
Sam is the man! He should have put a blind fold on you! Merry Christmas!
Jackie i think you have been hacked. Someone is trying to get me to pay for a give away from you.😢
Sam, you are an amazing man for Jackie! I am in the process of trying to make reservations at the Comtemporary Resort. We have been informed that my husband only has a few months to live. His last wish is to stay there. When he saw this blog, it made him cry, and he told me that Jackie gave him his last wish. We can't afford a trip at this time.
So Jackie and Sam, thank you both so much!!!
Wounder what the steam is behind Tron?
Super-nice Christmas surprise from Sam. You had a great location for your room. That Sam must have connections! Enjoy!!!
To Sam:
Nice work, pal!👍🏻
Awesome surprise! Well done Sam.
I love how Sam sounds full British but looks like a 90s Florida theme park dad. He’s the best! Love seeing you two together ❤
Jackie, the hot coco and the chocolate twist at the contemporary gingerbread display are phenomenal!
Wife and I got back home to Tennessee and are rewatching your video again, still talking about the day and meeting you, was so special 🌟 Thank You Jackie ❤
Fantastic vlog as always:)
What an amazing surprise, great job Sam! Thanks for sharing your stay with us. 🤩👍
What a fun experience! Having never even been to Florida I am so curious about the weather. i know it's hot a lot but when it rains does it get cold or does it get more humid? And will you guys return to Williamsburg again?
So romantic ❤ you both will have this amazing memory forever 🎇
Aww what an amazing surprise Jackie & wonderful Christmas present 😍 ( You did soooo GOOD Sam!! ) Great fun hearing you trying to guess on the way? Such a stunning resort , absolutely gorgeous. x
My wife and I absolutely love your videos; there is a fantastic mix of content, and there is always something new to discover on your channel! However, I must admit that the amount of control that the Disney company has over people is rather concerning. It’s bewildering how the mere (and very distant) presence of a tacky plastic castle can get people gushing over the ‘beauty’ of what is essentially a view of a car park! Having said that I still enjoyed this video; you and Sam make a winning team. We hope to bump into you in Warwick somewhere down the road. Mike x
You’re an outstanding YouTube channel.
Such an amazing view. We stayed there a couple of weeks ago and went to the Christmas party. We had the same view as you guys did. Spectacular to wake up to. I heard the train whistle as I woke up. ❤️
Soon as I find me a cute little blonde to share disney fun with, this will be one of the first places we stay ! What a beautiful view!
What a great surprise!! We have a lot of great memories from this Resort! We loved the time lapse part too, such a cool touch to the vlog!!!!
What a guy ❤ lovely surprise 😊
It's ashame that you didn't know that channel 105 in your room carried the fireworks music audio.
I’m guessing you guys had never gotten to stay here before?! So glad you had a nice time (have heard a distressing number of sad tales about Contemporary Resort stays lately that it’s nice to hear one that was magical!)
