Why Orlando, Florida?

**Widgets and doobobs** · 03-25-2006, 12:49 AM

In the episode where Mrs Krabapple is nominated by Bart for teacher of the year, what is the significance of having the ceremony set in Orlando?

I mean, why Orlando??

So they could make fun of Epcot?

**Widgets and doobobs** · 03-25-2006, 01:22 AM

Yeah, they did that...any other reasons?

**grissom** · 03-25-2006, 04:24 AM

I don't think there was a really defining reason. It was just a change of scenery, and, like Nebuchanezzar said, a chance to make fun of Epcot

**Widgets and doobobs** · 03-25-2006, 04:48 AM

Yeah, I guess it's not like a junket opportunity for the producers or anything!

What kind of reputation does Orlando have within America, does anyone know?

Orlando is the place where loads of theme parks are, and that is what it is famous for.

It was set in Orlando because that is where Epcot is, and they wanted to make fun of it. That's the only significance of having it there. Don't look too much into this.

You could also say it is a logical reason for Agnes to accompany Skinner. Old people love Florida.

It was set here because there are alot of cheesy award shows and banquets going on down here all the time. It's a very popular tourist destination.

It was also an opportunity to show that the Simpsons were somehow unbanned from Florida.

They actually do have teaching awards held there, so it's completely relevant.

That's right, it takes place after the whole alligator thing.

**Widgets and doobobs** · 03-25-2006, 04:18 PM

Orlando hey? Thanks everyone.

In fact, Disney used to have a teacher award's thing on the Disney channel.........

As a resident of the great city of Orlando (actually I live in the suburbs outside Orange County) I can tell you it is actually a kick ass place to live. I have noticed the Simpsons make more references to Florida then any other state.

Interesting Curtis. Do you live anywhere near Saint Cloud?

**do what donny dont does** · 03-26-2006, 09:23 AM

Saint Cloud is about 30 minutes from Orlando. And like Curtis said, there is no other place I'd rather live.

**Widgets and doobobs** · 03-26-2006, 03:44 PM

I know someone from Saint Cloud.

**Widgets and doobobs** · 03-28-2006, 03:17 PM

Curtis, you anywhere near Saint Cloud?
