The Florida Project: Did Moonee Escape to Disney World (or Jail)? A Hilarious Investigation (Mostly Hilarious)
So you've just watched The Florida Project. You're emotionally spent, heart swirling with a mix of joy, sadness, and maybe a touch of existential dread. One question burns brightest: what the heck happened to Moonee at the end? Did she snag a magical escape to Disney World with her BFF Jancey, or is she headed for a not-so-magical social services rendezvous?
Facing the Facts (with a healthy dose of speculation):
The film's brilliant director, Sean Baker, is a sly dog. He left the ending open to interpretation, which is both maddening and kind of awesome. Here's what we do know:
- Moonee and Halley (her cash-strapped mom) get evicted from the Magic Castle motel.
- Child protective services (CPS) is already sniffing around.
- The eviction throws their already precarious situation into hyperdrive.
Theory Time: Escape to the Happiest Place on Earth (or Not)
Tip: Summarize the post in one sentence.
- Disney Daze: Maybe Moonee and Jancey ditch the eviction chaos and hop a bus to Disney World. Imagine their wide-eyed wonder at Cinderella's Castle (a far cry from the one they call home). Sure, it's a temporary escape, but hey, gotta take the wins where you can, right?
- Reality Bites: More likely, the cops show up and Moonee ends up in foster care. This is the bleaker option, but it acknowledges the harsh realities of poverty and homelessness.

| What Happens After The Florida Project |
The Truth is Out There (Probably):
Truth be told, the ending is up to you. Baker wants us to ponder the complexities of Moonee's situation and the challenges faced by underprivileged families.
QuickTip: Skip distractions — focus on the words.
But hey, who doesn't love a good conspiracy theory? Perhaps Moonee used her hustler skills to snag some cash and they're on a wild adventure across the country. Maybe they snuck into Disney disguised as giant Mickey ears (a la Roger Rabbit). The possibilities are endless!
