While the title might be hyperbolic, it's not clickbait. A clickbait title is one that misleads or leaves out information in order to trigger your curiosity and get you to click on something you otherwise have no interest in. "You WON'T BELIEVE what actor got cast in this movie!" is a clickbait title. "Why Disney World doesn't have mosquitoes" tells me the article is about Disney World's anti-mosquito measures, and that's what I got from reading it.
