Florida is a large peninsula located in the southeastern region of the North America; with the Gulf of Mexico on its west and the Atlantic Ocean on its east. Florida was named by Juan Ponce de León, who landed on the peninsula on April 2, 1513, during Pascua Florida (Spanish for "Flowery Easter," referring to the Easter season).
Florida was the supposed location of the Fountain of Youth, as identified on Sao Feng's navigational charts. Captain Jack Sparrow set out to find this mystical artifact following Hector Barbossa's second mutiny.
[edit] Behind the scenes
- Florida is the location of Walt Disney World Resort, located in Lake Buena Vista and Bay Lake, opened on October 1, 1971 as the Magic Kingdom. The inclusion of the myth that the Fountain of Youth is located in Florida may be a reference to the theme park.
