Funny Q.
I lived in Raleigh, NC for a while and it felt meh to me. Maybe it’s better now? Almost no outdoor eating at restaurants, no places to just walk around outside with shops and restaurants. Communities were built with pools, tennis, rec centers, unless you belonged to a club. I’m used to master planned communities and cities and/or being near a very major city.
@Love_my_doggie Orlando? What? I’ll agree about the food being a lot of chains (although there are local restaurants in surrounding areas) but how can the land of Mickey be meh? I ate at Three Bridges restaurant at the Coronado Springs resort at Disney last night and the hotel was absolutely beautiful, and the food was better than average for Disney food, I’d give it 4 stars out of 5. The restaurant is in the middle of a lake with the hotel surrounding it, the resort has different sections, a tower, villas, so on the lake side it’s like being immersed, and the rest of Disney and Orlando disappears, except that waiters wear their city of origin (very Disney) and there are hidden Mickeys on carpet designs and ironwork. I live in Florida and still eating there I felt transported to vacation for a few hours.
Also, the Piazza at the Portofino hotel at Universal feels like a few hours in Italy; it’s lovely.
I feel so lucky to live near Disney.
