Funny, when I was there last year I noticed, for the first time I guess, a lot of visitors from the UK, all on 'oliday. I met a really nice family one morning while we were waiting for the hotel bus.and they said they like to come at least every other year, if not every. When I asked them why, and didn't they have a Disney park closer, they said they had been there, it was just ok, and they like Disney World better.
The other funny thing i noticed was all the Brits at EPCOT desperately looking for a place to smoke!
