I remember Orlando before Disney and I liked it better that way.

Saw a documentary some years ago about how dw changed that town....every living member of the city council including the mayor at the time that voted for getting dw to come to Orlando was interviewed......and every single one of them stated that if they knew back then what was going to happen and what they know now they would all have voted against it.

Orlando gave up an unbelievable amount of real estate, tax breaks and many other perks just to get ‘em to put their parks there......they all now regret it.

DW is not in Orlando.

Disney quietly bought up over 27,000 acres OUTSIDE of Orlando, much of which was in a different county!
