Val, Just to say ... Orlando is not a new city ... not the part that is Orlando. The amusement parks are actually outside of Orlando and have a life of themselves. Disney World, for instance, is incorporated as a town (forget the name), specially set up to lessen their taxes and allow them to be outside the control of a local municipality.
