They must love you...:lol::lol::lol: It just wasn't a plague like some people are thinking inside MK. It was more at Coronado though.
This is the first im hearing about this at disney but up in NY ive seen it on occassion towards the end of the summer. Swarms of some sort of insects around the large halogen lights at the service station I used to work at, they would be there for a couple hours, then I would find them all dead on the ground. Im assuming it was the males left behind...

True. It wasn't as bad in the parks for some reason but it was still bad enough. Ewww We had more of an issue with them at DTD. Nasty little things.
Even though they are nasty, I'd rather have them than what we have around here. Mayflies. (Where's the puking smiley at??) These attractive things cover everything around here in the spring and fall.

And I don't care if you play Full Back for an NFL team, if one of those Mayflies land on you you're gonna run and scream like a 5 year old girl. We call them Devil Flies. :ROFLOL:

They are there from the beginning of September through Mid October sometime, depending on how quickly it gets cooler in Florida. :>) Such Fun...:sohappy::wave:

Just got back and fortunately didn't see many of them in the parks. They do seem to like the bus stops though.

there were tons of them, all over me on monday near the hollywood studios entrance and on the tram. they were everywhere, it was awful.
Aha, it's nice to see those little bugs are still annoying people.
My last visit to Disney World was in December 2006 when they seemed to be everywhere. I had arrived at the hotel fairly late in the evening so hadn't really seen any of them flying about, so I sure did get one giant shock when I went and visited the park the next morning. I was dressed all in white, which they appeared to love, and I spent half the day terrified thinking they were mosquitos trying to bite me.
The highlight of my holiday was running down Main Street USA screaming and flapping my arms around wildly on the first day of my trip. It took a few hours before some nice family informed me what they were and that they were harmless. I was very relieved, even if they were humping on me. :lol:
