Thanks for the detailed insight.

Yeah I am aware the traffic sucks. My dad lives in Polk city which should only be a half hour but often winds up being 2, and is pretty painful to commute if we stay with him and go to the parks each day.

Whaaat? But they needed that. I haven’t been back since 2018/19 or something like that

If you stay on disney property you don’t have to deal with that stuff. Catch the disney shuttle from the airport, take public disney transportation the whole time you’re there. Course you spend more for the resort

It’s about 400-600 per person plane ticket to paris (from Philadelphia the nearest big airport to me) and $147 for a two day two park ticket to disneyland Paris ($75 per ticket) Florida the plane ticket is only 50-100 and thr park tickets for a 4 day pass to 4 parks is 398 per person ($99 a day). Honestly unless the resorts in Paris are cheaper I think they balance out about the same. Now, with all the other stuff you could do while in Europe that’s another matter. Florida’s got a lot of stuff to do around orlando/Tampa too though.

There are 4 theme parks and 2 shopping/eating areas in Florida alone and over a dozen resorts. You can book a whole weeks vacation, do something different each day, and never leave Disney’s property.

It’s the same reason people thought Stephen Colbert was a champion of conservatism until he moved to the tonight show.
