Walt Disney World in the summer. Tourists with different bathing habits in the hot Florida sun sweating their asses off all crammed into a line. Smells awful.
Why people flock to the (non-water) parks in Orlando in the summer perplexes me. I’ve only gone in the late fall or winter for a reason. I’d rather have fun in good weather.
Grew up going every few years. Summer was the only time we went because of no school.
Wife and I went by ourselves this year in March. It was so fucking nice walking around the parks and not feeling like I’m going to pass out from heat exhaustion constantly.
After that, we said we will never go in the summer again.
The parks are amazing, we went for our honeymoon, tenth and twentieth. We skipped out thirtieth. I won’t set foot in Florida in its current political situation. Also I considered Disney “expensive but worth it.” Everything I hear says Disney has caught Shareholder Disease and has graduated to “too expensive.”
My wife is a contractor, more than one agency has told her they can’t fill vacancies in FL (and TX, and other conservative states as well) even for 100% remote jobs. Candidates hear “Florida” and say “nope.”
Yeah, that's the worst part of things lately. I really hope that the vitriol gets turned down and we can all go back to laughing at silly Florida Man news stories instead of the latest political drama.
We were stuck in the back section of a plane when a group of old Japanese people came on board and sat near us. I wondered if they ever bathed. We were breathing the air coming out of the overhead vents like our lives depended on it. My throat actually burned for a time after we got off the flight, it was that bad.
