The secret ways Disney World keeps mosquitoes out of its humid Orlando theme park
A Disney World guest has revealed the surprising secret behind why you rarely see mosquitoes at the Orlando, Florida, theme park. In a now-viral TikTok video, posted by the user @disney_dad1, the unnamed guest detailed the alleged clever tricks that Disney uses to keep bugs at bay, despite the park being built on swampy land. 'You're in central Florida ... swamps, humidity, it should be a mosquito paradise,' the TikToker explained. 'But somehow, there's nothing buzzing in your ears. So here's the secret ... and it's honestly kind of genius. 'When Walt was designing Disney World, he hired an actual entomologist... a bug expert. 'His job? Figure out how to keep mosquitoes away without ruining the experience for guests, and it worked.' The TikToker then explained the three key strategies that Disney allegedly uses to ensure guests are never getting bit up at the Most Magical Place on Earth. 'First, Disney doesn't let water sit still. No standing puddles. Everything drains fast. Fountains flow constantly. Even decorative moats have circulation,' they shared. 'No still water means no mosquito breeding grounds.' Secondly, the narrator claimed that the staff lightly sprays a garlic-based repellent around the parks. 'You don't smell it, but mosquitoes hate it,' he explained. 'It's non-toxic, safe for guests, but enough to keep bugs away.' Lastly, to help keep the park mosquito-free, the TikToker said that Disney relies on natural predators like dragonflies, birds, and even bats that come out at night. 'Disney basically created a little ecosystem where mosquitoes lose every time. And the wildest part? It's all designed to be invisible,' he revealed. 'Just like the trash tunnels and the background music, the bug control blends into the magic.' On its website, Disney shares very little about how it keeps mosquitos at bay, simply writing in its FAQ section, 'We have an extensive mosquito prevention and monitoring program across property.' The Daily Mail has reached out to Disney for comment. People in the comment section of the video were shocked to learn about Disney's imaginative solutions. 'That was more interesting than I thought,' one person wrote. 'That is why it's the greatest place on earth,' another shared. A different parkgoer observed: 'Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever seen all that many insects of any kind there.' 'Disney World is 'genius' at everything. That's what separates them from all the others. Their attention to detail is incredible!' someone else said. 'Disney is AMAZING,' one person simply stated. However, one Disney fan said the solutions didn't work on them. 'I've been bitten by mosquitoes at WDW almost every time I go,' they revealed.

Bartender working at wedding sparks heated tipping debate over bride and groom's controversial request
A bartender has sparked a heated tipping debate after revealing she was banned from putting out a tip jar while working a wedding. Hannah Borsenik shared her experience on TikTok, explaining that the bride and groom told her the jar couldn't be put out at their formal event. 'Bartending a wedding and they told me I'm not allowed to have a tip jar,' the text overlay read. Her caption added: 'This labor isn't free, people.' The clip quickly racked up hoards of views and lead to a fierce argument in the comment section over whether tip jars belong at weddings at all. Many sided with the couple, calling the request unprofessional and unnecessary. 'That's pretty standard. That's why we charge $2k+ because it's in the price. Tip jars at formal events are tacky, and most people aren't carrying cash anyway,' one person wrote. 'Gratuity was included in the contract. Don't lie. Asking guests to tip is tacky,' another said. 'I wouldn't want my guests to feel obligated to spend any money at my wedding either… that's tacky,' someone agreed, while another argued: 'Tip jar on a prepaid contract is double-dipping.' One commenter added bluntly: 'Good. The wedding guests aren't your customers. If you wanted more money, you should have charged more money.' Another insisted: 'Absolutely not. The bride and groom pay the contracted price and gratuity. 'Asking their guests to tip you as well is tacky and embarrassing. The couple wants guests to have a good time and not have to worry about tipping.' Others, however, rallied behind the bartender. 'Last wedding I did, the bride made me tip jars herself,' one supporter shared. 'As someone who helped run an upscale wedding venue… You should absolutely have your jar out,' another argued. 'What the hell? Every wedding I've went to, I tip the bartenders in their jars! I'm so sorry this happened,' a viewer wrote. 'OK, every single wedding I've been to has been open bar and we always have tipped…' another said, while one shocked commenter added: 'I have never IN MY LIFEEEE attended a wedding and not tipped the bartender. Be f**king for real.' One fellow bartender even offered advice: 'The people who will tip will still tip. Tacky, but you could leave some of their cash on the bar for a bit as bait.' Hannah posted a follow-up video three days later in response to some of the people who had slammed her. She revealed that she works as a bartender and busser for the venue where the wedding was at, and she is paid an hourly rate. The bride and groom did not hire her privately for the event. She added that her bosses tell her to put her tip jar 'behind her' so people can see, but it doesn't look like she's 'begging for tips.' 'They [the bride and groom] pay the venue. They don't include gratuity in their payment to the venue,' Hannah revealed. 'I don't get gratuity in my hourly wage. I make the majority of my money through tips.'
