central florida used to be so much better too. growing up around orlando was awesome as a kid.  disney and universal weren't as crowded and would give great discounts to locals to bring people in. nickelodeon studios filming shows there, know a few people who were on game shows like legend of the hidden temple and double dare.  some of the biggest music stars of the 90's were all based in orlando. backstreet boys, nsync, britney spears, etc.  growing up in the 90's and early 2000's orlando seemed so central to greater american culture. was really the hollywood of the eastern usa.  just a shell of it's former self now. so many people here now and way more tourists.
