just saying
Yeah, there is nothing to see in NYC.

In Orlando you go to a theme park or you can go to a theme park.

^I think someone is bitter.

Volume man, volume. There is a reason why there is more traffic at OIA than all the NYC airports combined.

Much busier. Of course you have to travel out of the country to know that.

820,000 more total passengers is not "much" busier. ATL is much busier...not JFK.

You say this as if tourist don't like the option of going to theme parks, and going to theme parks. The numbers are what they are. I don't understand the logic of downplaying a place when the numbers say otherwise.

There is a lot to see and do in this country and abroad. I guess it is a personal choice.

Some of us marvel at the Grand Canyon or the history you find in London.

Some people enjoy standing in long lines.

Exactly, I think most people haven't traveled around much and seem kind of sheltered, especially when they make claims like another thread claiming once you've been to Florida everything else is second best. Give me a break. Seems a little arrogant.

Orlando is centrally located and generally cheaper to fly to than other airports in Florida. People who are flying here could be going to the beaches, Daytona, Tampa, etc. They could be basing some of these statistics on hotel occupancy rates and other criteria that confirm actual visitors to Orlando or the area.
