First Disney World/tourisim is located in Lake Buena Vista which is a good 40 minutes away from Orlando.

Don't be fooled by it's Disney image Orlando can get bad and fast, just like outside of South Beach Miami can get dangerous so can Orlando.

It doesn't surprise me at all because I lived there and now I live in South FL. Think about the economic impacts that Disney had on Orlando and then think about why it is the transient hell that it is today.

I voted for Orlando. Washington, D.C> is very dependent on tourism, at least in the city itself though the suburbs have a lot of corporate headquarters and private businesses.

While Las Vegas has a very touristy image the biggest employer in the area is the government and the military, especially the Air Force and its economy is being diversified very quickly.

Orlando though is very dependent on the theme parks, though there definitely are other things. Olive Garden and Red Lobster are headquartered there.

A lot of smaller places are more dependent on visitors, like Atlantic City, Aspen, Lake Tahoe, Key West, Daytona Beach, Myrtle Beach, etc etc.

Las Vegas and Orlando.
Miami has the 7th largest metro area in America and although it wouldn't be as thriving without tourisim it could still survice. Without tourisim Las Vegas isn't Las Vegas and Orlando would be even more crime ridden. Althougn NYC attracts around 40 million visitors it certinally doesn't depend on them and Los Angeles definitley could exist without tourisim.
