And don't just dismiss the fact that people who live in the Southern US are just naturally more "chatty" than people in other parts of the US. We've seen people post on these boards that CMs at
Disneyland aren't friendly compared to WDW. Having grown up in the Greater Los Angeles area, I never felt the area was not friendly, but Californians, by nature, are busy. They just don't spend time chatting. Seriously, Californians, when asked "how far is the drive to...." will answer in time... like 30 minutes, rather than say 10 miles. When I moved to Texas people were always saying "But I asked you how FAR it is...."
I would just chaulk 99% of comments at WDW up to what is classically referred to as "Southern Hospitality"
