They call it "The American Dream," because you have to be asleep to believe it.
Of course when you are coming out of winter you will warm more than when you are in summer.

("But what's that got to do with 'little Pompeii,?" you ask. Be patient, young grasshopper.)
Then, in a late 70's summer that I spent surfing in Southern California, I was lucky enough to meet and date a beautiful classy So Cal beach girl who grew up near Anaheim, and she took me to Disneyland for the only time I've ever been there.
As I told her I'd never been there, and she grew up near it, she started telling me where and what was what. I replied, well 'Tommorowland is over that way to the right, and Pirates of The Caribbean on the left" as we walked towards Cindy's castle, and she wouldn't believe, for a little while, the truth I had also been unaware of, that they used the same layout of Disneyland for building a scaled up Disneyworld.
More specifically, Disney built Disneyland, in the 1950's, in Anaheim, SE of LA in Orange County, where it was sure to be a big hit. THEN, seeing that Florida was going to follow in the tracks of Southern California, and become a landing zone for all those fleeing the Rust Belt to the Sun Belt, Disney bought up all the cheap land SW of Orlando, and built a BIG Copy of DL as it had much, much more room. I would guess the scale of WDW Vs. DL is about 4 to one but the order is -or at least was then - the same.
Perhaps some Roman investor did the same thing with little and big Pompeii. Nothing is new under the sun, after all. Lesson done, Grasshopper.
