Also, any tips on good restaurants there would be appreciated.

Ive not heard of any “Red Tide” smell in the Orlando area. You should be good to go. Going to Disney World myself in about 10 days. Florida resident rates are $54. That’s too good to pass up.

No idea where Ft. Walton beach is but this still ongoing red tide smell should just be located in the greater Tampa Bay Area but Piney point is near Sarasota so it could be effecting that area too

If you can smell red tide all the way in Orlando, we’re deeply ****ed.

I am a big Disney fan but there is no way I would go in June, July or August. Between the sweltering heat and the crowds I will pass no matter what the price.

You are a braver man than I.

I'm use to it now. I'll regularly go out in the middle of the day/heat and walk 4-5 miles. If I can survive that Jacksonville game heat in 2019, I can survive any heat.

That was a test of loyalty....it was telling that by the middle of the 2nd quarter that stadium was mostly red.

I am used to the heat here...it's the crowds and all that hot cement that exacerbates the heat. Plus as I have gotten older my tolerance and patience for waiting has waned.

I don’t wait in line either. Standing and Waiting for 1-2 hours for a 1.5 minute ride ain’t happening anymore with me either.

I like going to the food and wine festival. Walking around drinking alcohol and sampling food from around the world is more my speed these day’s.
