What shocked you the most on your first time visiting USA/florida/disney?

Hello all 😊
My very first dibb thread!
We are booked to go on May 2nd 2022 and have never so much as dipped a toe in America.
The most shocking thing I've seen on my little research journey so far is the size of some the 'snacks' 😁 not that it's a bad thing at all!
For an absolute america/ florida newbie, what would you say shocked you the most?
Apologies if this is in the wrong place. Thoroughly enjoying reading everyone's plans and tips so far!

The weather - the heat, the sudden insanely heavy downpours that are over in minutes, sitting watching a show with lightning going on in the distance like it’s nothing, just not used to that sort of weather variety/intensity/ambivalence over here Closely followed by the portion sizes!

The size of some Americans!
I was shocked in the supermarket at how cheap sugary snacks were and how comparatively expensive salad and vegetables are. Given the price and quality of food its surprising that anyone avoids type 2 diabetes.
