Unless you like attractions for 10 year olds and eating at chain restaurants I do not see anything special about Orlando's dining and entertainment.
Why do you dislike Florida so much? It seems as if every time someone post something about Orlando or Tampa you bring up negative statistics or pictures about those cities to try to change people's mind. However, as soon as someone say something negative about Philadelphia or NJ, you dig deep into the internet and find facts to persuade people the other way. If you hate Florida so much why bother to event comment on the state because everything you say is negative and it really gets old.

Same can be said about Charlotte they are full of chain restaurants whats your point. Orlando does offer more nightlife after theme parks are closed. Lots of ADults go to Islands of adventures wet and wild and universal studios. Get it together sir your going out your way to dismiss Orlando its not cute.
Jobs are scarce everywhere, but good jobs do exist in Orlando. Because the unemployment rate in Orlando is a few percentage points higher than what it is in Charlotte doesn't mean Orlando is so much worse than Charlotte to live a good life. My parents have good jobs, a lot of people have good jobs here and there are a lot of nice areas to raise kids in. btw recreational options are factors for determining quality of life.
Charlotte has good entertainment, dinning and shopping too, Orlando's is just better. And good jobs do exist in Orlando along with nice areas to raise families, there is just more opportunity in Charlotte at the time. It just depends on what you want. Not everyone is moving to a city to start a family.
But if I already had a job lined up, I would pick Orlando because many communities exist in metro Orlando with good schools and low crime to raise families, then you have all the recreational options that comes with living in Orlando.
well last tuime I checked Charlotte unemployment rate was at 12.8 percent thats high for a city thats supposed to have the better economy

There is so much more to Orlando then just the amusement parks (which are not just for kids by the way). You have obviously failed to realize that. You have, what I like to call, "Hate Goggles". When you visit or live in an area you dislike, instead of looking at the positive in an area, you only see the nagative, even if the positive outweighs the negative, causing bias and sometimes even FALSE judgments.
There is nothing wrong with disliking a place. There is something wrong however with lying, exaggerating, and/or generalizing about that place to justify why you dislike it.
there are plenty of good/decent paying jobs outside of disney. Disney is the largest single employer in the Nation so of course is going to be the largest single employer in Orlando. That doesn't mean that there isn't thousands of other good paying jobs.
