Disney World is in Orlando, FL about 90 minutes from me in Tampa Bay. Yes, it's warm here. It's tropical in FL and snow is a foreign word once you get south of Tampa. North Florida still gets cold. The panhandle is basically just south Georgia. Texas has mountains and it does get snow. It's desert, not tropical. Even California (ahem, Cali) isn't tropical except, perhaps, the immediate area surrounding San Diego (the furthest southern point).
BTW, it's 79F here right now. Last week it got down one night to 41F and you would have thought the world would end. I live with a lot of Canadian snowbirds. There are 110 or so year-round residents in my community and about 650 winter residents. It's crazy.

Mm, Florida I think, then.
Yea, we had to memorize all 50 and their locations, and their capitals in like 5th grade.
"Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Indianapolis, Indiana, and Columbus is the capitol of Ohio. There's Montgomery, Alabama, south of Helena, Montana, then there's Denver, Colorado, under Boise, Idaho.
Texas has Austin, then we go north, to Massachusetts', Boston, and Albany, New York. Tallahassee, Florida, and Washington, D.C., Santa Fe, New Mexico, and Nashville, Tennessee.
Trenton's in New Jersey north of Jefferson, Missouri, you got Richmond in Virginia, South Dakota has Pierre. Harrisburg's in Pennsylvania and Augusta's up in Maine and here is Providence, Rhode Island, next to Dover, Delaware.
Concord, New Hampshire, just a quick jaunt, to Montpelier, which is up in Vermont. Hartford's in Connecticut, so pretty in the fall, and Kansas has Topeka, Minnesota has St. Paul!
Juneau's in Alaska and there's Lincoln in Nebraska and it's Raleigh out in North Carolina and then.. there's Madison, Wisconsin and Olympia in Washington, Phoenix, Arizona, and Lansing, Michigan.
Here's Honolulu, Hawaii's a joy, Jackson, Mississippi, and Springfield, Illinois! South Carolina with Columbia down the way, and Annapolis in Maryland on Chesapeake Bay.
Cheyenne is in Wyoming and perhaps you'll make your home in Salt Lake City out in Utah, where the buffalo roam. Atlanta's down in Georgia, and there's Bismarck, North Dakota and you can live in Frankfort in your old Kentucky home.
Salem in Oregon, from there we join Little Rock in Arkansas, Iowa's got Des Moines, Sacramento, California, Oklahoma and its city, Charleston, West Virginia, and Nevada's Carson City!
That's all the capitals there areeeee!"

Is that a song? We just had to remember them ourselves. I had a jigsaw puzzle with the pieces in the shapes of the states with the capitals marked on them, so I knew most of the states and capitals before I even went to first grade. Memorizing the appropriate postal abbreviations for each was a bit harder, but we were required to do it in high school so we could send out properly addressed letters (they were created about then, before that you just wrote your own abbreviations or the whole state name).

Yea, I memorized it at one point and I still sing it randomly. It helped a lot.
I don't know why I bothered, though haha

It wasn't as hard as it looks :P
Although to be honest I'm pretty proud of myself for acing that test. I mean I already kinda knew some of it by that point.
Ooh, now the preposition song is stuck in my head, yay....

You ask me, I hate customary. Why did England have to be so stubborn?
Besides, candela sounds wayyyy prettier than foot-lambert imo. Imagine if the title of my future story was Foot-Lambert.
