Orlando just gave left-wing coastal cities a gut punch they never saw coming.
Mickey’s backyard straight-up embarrassed 99 other cities across the country.
And Orlando just crushed coastal elites to win America’s top summer vacation spot.
Florida shows up the rest of America with shocking vacation value
Look, we all know what it’s like out there.Â
Groceries cost a fortune.Â
Gas prices are insane.Â
And don’t even get me started on trying to find an affordable place to live.
But somehow, Orlando has figured out how to keep vacation costs down while inflation crushes the rest of us.
WalletHub looked at 100 different metro areas and ranked them based on stuff that actually matters – how much flights cost, hotel prices, things to do, weather, and whether you’ll get mugged walking back to your hotel.Â
Orlando topped the whole dang list.
And here’s the kicker – this wasn’t some fluffy ranking about which city has the prettiest sunsets.Â
This was about MONEY.Â
Your money.Â
And how far it’ll go when you’re trying to give your kids a summer they’ll remember.
“When picking a summer travel destination, it’s easy to focus just on the types of activities you want to do or certain cities you’ve always wanted to see, “Chip Lupo, who works at WalletHub, said. “However, choosing a destination that’s not only entertaining but also affordable is important when travel, dining and activity costs have surged so much in recent years. It can also allow you to have a longer, more relaxing trip.”
Translation: Orlando ain’t just Disney World anymore, folks.Â
It’s where middle-class families can actually afford to take a vacation without selling a kidney.
The numbers are jaw-dropping (and the libs hate it)
Are you ready for this? Hold onto your MAGA hat:
- Flights to Orlando? As cheap as $322 from major cities. No connections. No airport nightmares;
- Hotels? How about $42 A NIGHT for a three-star room. In San Francisco, that might get you a cardboard box under a bridge… if you’re lucky;
- Food? Tons of affordable restaurants that don’t taste like they came from a microwave; and
- Stuff to do? Orlando beat EVERY OTHER CITY for activities – more water parks, boat tours, ice cream shops, and places to chill than anywhere else.
Meanwhile, those left-wing utopias on the West Coast are bleeding vacationers dry.Â
San Francisco ranked a pathetic #89 overall and dead last – I mean absolute ROCK BOTTOM – for local costs.
Los Angeles didn’t fare much better at #27.Â
Must be all those celebrity-endorsed organic kale smoothies driving up prices.
And Bakersfield? That sad excuse for a vacation spot came in dead last.Â
Maybe they should rename it “Bakersfield: Come for the crushing poverty, stay because your car got stolen.”
Florida DOMINATES while blue states crumble
Orlando isn’t the only Florida star on this list.Â
Not even close.
Ron DeSantis’ well-run state showed up with SEVEN cities making the rankings, including:
- Miami (#9);
- Tampa-St. Pete (#12);
- Jacksonville (#25);
- Pensacola (#66);
- Daytona Beach (#79);
- Sarasota (#95).
All this while California’s so-called vacation destinations kept sinking toward the bottom like a rock tied to Kamala’s approval ratings.
Turns out freedom actually works, folks!Â
When governors aren’t busy shutting down businesses and telling you where you can vacation during a pandemic, magical things happen.
