Top 12 Videos of 2011
In 2011 we posted over 100 videos (roughly one every three days) from in and around Orlando on our YouTube.com/FloridaLeisure channel. At the last count 53,604 people have “friended” us and 1555 have “subscribed” to us to regularly watch our video content. Through 2011 we’ve covered a wide variety of stories and we’ve shot just about everything there is to do in Central Florida, from the opening of the brand new Legoland Florida theme park to the Christmas celebrations going on all around our fabulous area.
Our videos also passed over half a million views, so we thought we’d take a look back at some of the most popular and some that had the most memories for us. We had a short list of 15 videos that we’ve had to cull but we really couldn’t cut 5 from the list …so we’re including 3 of them as Bonuses before we got to our Top 12! Here we go….
BONUS 1 – Kayaking

Number 2 is the amazing “O Wondrous Night” at SeaWorld Orlando. You’ll not see a better Christmas production at an Orlando theme park than this…simply magnificent. We went to several performances and every one got a standing ovation… simply brilliant. We filmed this twice but decided to go with the full length choice rather than the shorter version in our selection … watch it and see why…

Number 1…simply had to be the Grand Opening of Central Florida’s newest theme park… Legoland Florida … and we’re going to cheat a bit here… because we have two videos! Enjoy….
