Doesn't annoy me at all, and where would you stop...

So much more to Orlando than just Disney
So much more to Florida than just Orlando
So much more to the US than just Orlando
So much more to the world than just the US

It's her holiday let her do it her way

I guess we must be the absolute opposites then. Haven't been to a theme park since 2010 but have visited Florida maybe at least a dozen times since.

Some people may say why don't you just fly 2 hours and sit on a beach in Benidorm? Because there's so much more we now like about the Sunshine State.

Why on earth would this annoy you. It is their holiday, and surely they can do what they wish and enjoy.
There are lots on here only really go to Florida while there is a big wide world out there. People make their own choices and we have no right to judge them.

But what is it to do with you?

When other people pay for my holidays they get a say and vice versa. Since I will not be paying for anyone else's holidays anytime soon, I couldn't give a rats behind what they do

We all like different things in life, my ideal holiday may be someone's version of hell but do I care? Life is way too short to even be concerned with someone else or what they're up to.

I find outside the parks that Orlando is quite an ugly area and the shopping doesn’t appeal at all. Apart from her not doing any other parks I totally empathise with your friend.

Most people only visit Orlando for the parks and nothing else.

Americans fly in to MCO, catch the magic express to Disney, stay on site for 4 nights and go home!
