You should pay attention the next time you’re visiting Walt Disney World Resort. While visiting this attraction, it’s unlikely for you to see or hear any mosquitoes buzzing around. Doesn’t that sound strange? This is especially peculiar when you consider Florida’s swampland and sticky weather. The rest of this state is covered with these pesky little bloodsuckers. Nonetheless, we can assure you that Disney World not having any mosquitoes is no coincidence. There’s an incredible reason why these annoying insects are nowhere to be seen inside the park gates.
