I live 2 hours from DW and wouldn’t go there to throw up......glad I went a few times in the 70s when it was new and still magical for kids.

Side note. I saw a documentary a few years ago about Orlando’s efforts to bring DW there and they interviewed several city council members and the mayor at the time......every one of ‘em said if they knew then what they know now they never would have brought DW to Orlando.

I’m old enough to remember when Orlando was a sleepy old Florida town full of orange groves.....and it was sure as hell better then.

Had great visits to Fl from the 60-s thru 70's. It sure has grown. I remember when Ft' Lauderdale was a great place, it's overgrown now.

About 30 years ago, the Meddlesome Mouse proposed building a theme park near Haymarket, Virginia. The politicians thought it was wonderful. The People thought it was an atrocity.

After much fuss and feathers, the project was canceled.

I visited DW for the first time as a kid in 1978. The best memory I have of that trip was the orange groves as far as the eye could see. The orange grove gift shops were awesome too.
