As someone who was a reserve deputy with Osceola County Sheriff , I can tell you with no hesitation that most of AKL ESPN and All Stars are in Osceola County. These screen shots are from the Osceola County Tax Accessor website. The colored area is Osceola and the gray is Orange County.

Read a report that today at Epcot, while no hugs, they were able to be next to characters. No real distancing like before. Person goes often and saw that today personally. Not surprising as I read Cinderella was at her old post for meals instead of waving to the guests in the dining room.

Cool maps! I defer to those who know! I sure don't pretend to know this. I go with what's reported. Wonder why the discrepancies?

Unfortunately even if you don’t own a car or if you drive a Tesla so no need to buy gas there’s still a trickle down impact to your wallet considering a large number of products are shipped via truck, train or plane and a sustained increase in fuel costs will eventually lead to an increase in the cost of those products.

Electric prices are up and in NJ with the moratorium on shut offs during Covid about to end there are thousands of people who are going to be shut off and their unpaid balances are going to be added into everyone elses rates. Then add the increase in natural gas prices needed to be used to produce electricity and middle class citizens are about to be hit with unaffordable bills.

Yes, plus the price of electricity is also rising in addition some communities are increasing taxes on electric vehicles to make up for revenue losses due to people buying less gas hence paying less gas tax. So don't really see an advantage to owning a Tesla or other EV other than a Golf cart or EWC.

Pssst there are other EVs outside of Teslas ;) I don't buy gas and I don't own a Tesla. Too big of a car and they ran out of the $7500 tax credit a while ago. Right now electricity seems to be very reasonably priced for cars. However, I do fly and I know that will affect the price of air and of course as you said increase in any products being shipped will occur simply because you need to pay to move it around.

So even us EV drivers know what the effects will be. Some of it was covid and now other things affecting. Our shipping prices went up due to covid and I know products are more costly as well.

Some states add it to the yearly registration. But that's been that way for a while. Sadly in my state they suck huge and are asking us to pay more than our fair share when calculated out. All stated, what I save on my car is much bigger than any extras that the state gets. My car was really rather well priced for a new car even without tax incentives. With the incentives, it was a fantastic deal. While I appreciate Tesla they really are not cars for those who switch to EVs for environmental reasons so they kind of create a weird niche in the market. Most states are reasonable with the "gas tax" loss that they add to registration. Lots of reasons to buy an EV - though honestly I'm a part of a lot of EV groups and I'm still baffled by EWC... what dos that stand for?

All said and done my electricity hasn't risen due to covid or anything yet. At least not this year.

Erm.... I know... we were considering one for my aunt before she died. I just don't classify them or ebikes with cars. Even electric scooters and motorcycles are in a different category. So I didn't even go that way.

🤣 That's all I saw on a quick Google. Added cars and found nothing. Just didn't think of mobility devices.

It would be nice if Dr. Pamela Hymel, Disney Chief Medical Officer would make a pronouncement about the health and safety record of the Disney properties during the pandemic and further improvements for guests and staff going forward. Just saying.
