While Orlando nabbed the #1 spot (no surprise, given their theme park empire), Jacksonville came in at an impressive #2 in Florida and #8 in the entire U.S.! We officially beat out all of South Florida. Boooval is more excited for Halloween than West Palm Beach (#3), Miami (#4), and Tampa (#6)!<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 dbPNdY body-paragraph\">Honestly, are we surprised?
