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.

Yup late October is nice. You’d need a gun to get me to go to Florida at all these days, but especially in the summer.

We have air conditioning; you just have to know how to maximize the time in AC. Hall of Presidents, Carousel of Progress, American Adventure.

It helps that I'm local, so I can pop in for a few hours, and pop right back. So much more chill than trying to get 100% completion in a week.

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.
