As someone previously stated, one of the biggest problems is that most of the visitors to Disney World are not from Florida. They visit there with young children and are encouraged to feel safe. It is Disney’s responsibility to provide that safety, especially given that it is an insulated, artificial environment. This is one of the reasons that people visit Disney World and pay the prices they are charged.
People still need to use their heads and learn about a place before they visit, whether it is DisneyWorld, Europe, South America or an island somewhere. A bit of time spent researching before booking can make a world of difference.
Absolutely! One of the problems with most travelers is that they don’t investigate. Even Fodors or Frommers will tell you most of the problems in travelling. One of the most astonishing things about living in NYC is encountering Brits who don’t know about our tipping practices! How can you be so stupid?
