11. And They Weren't At Marti Gras?

Including people from Europe that were spreading the virus.

Plus, Marti Gras ended 13 days before the first reported case in New Orleans. One would have expected the first case to occur roughly 1 week earlier than it did. But post Marti Graw the French Quarter is still a popular tourist attraction so it likely did start in the French Quarter but not necessarily during Marti Gras. Orlando has similar weather to New Orleans, is a popular tourist attraction so it looks more like luck of the draw rather than weather that was responsible for the vastly different outcome.
