How do people stand to live near Disney World?

So I'm at my dad's house in Florida getting ready to go to bed, and I just start hearing all these loud booms that just keep going and going. It's not thunder, and it's not gunfire or cannons. It turns out it's the various fireworks shows at Disney World. You can hear them still, all the way out here, and it's like a half hour drive on highway to get there from here. That sound travels far.

How do these people live like this, with fireworks booms every night for like 30 minutes? You can't even see them from here.

And how they deal with the traffic? Once a year we usually end up going from the Atlantic to Gulf sides of FL, and if we go down 4 Orlando is always terrible.

@monte3 I was particularly dumb on the way down and picked a flight that landed at peak rush hour. Traffic was bad.
