    Disney World is in the center if the Penninsula, not the panhandle. it’s in Orlando not Tallahassee.

      TIL: the panhandle in the term Florida Panhandle refers to the bit in red and not the bit in white. I will take no responsibility for this error and argue that the term is worded horribly. Its clear as day to me that this white bit is the handle of the us, hanging off its end like a dong…

        I don’t think “panhandle” has a strict definition but it tends to mean a bit of a state that sticks out into what rightfully should be another state. Oklahoma’s panhandle is the most obvious example of one. West Virginia has two. Florida’s panhandle is the part that should be Alabama’s coastline.
