    I have cancelled my Disney trip two years in a row.
    My worry is how many Floridians don’t want to get their Vaccine. If your from Orlando there is a good chance you work in the entertainment or tourism industry and not getting the vaccine to help stop the spread is a big worry to me.

    1. Christopher B

      Covid cases are dropping so what spread are you talking about? You can put the aluminum foil helmet away.

      1. Julian H

        They are dropping thankfully, but still very high. The State of Florida has a very high rate still of Covid-19, its good news that they are dropping but the spread is still very much there.

        1. RML

          What are you smoking? Turn off all mainstream media please and look at actual statistics. FL is currently 48th for COVID cases in the country…out of 50. You can get much lower than that. Vermont, on the other hand, with the highest “fully vaccinated” population, is #1.

        2. Just stop

          Not anymore then the locked down states. I’m from one and I should know. Florida has handle this exceptionally well! Unfortunately there were those that past from the virus. But nothing like NY or Comifornia. When both governors killed those in nursing home

      2. It is a flu. I did not think I needed the shot but got it anyway thinking I would be free but now it looks as though we will never be free again!

    2. Ugh

      Seriously, I’m so sad for you! Our cases have dropped significantly yet others states that are locked down the most such a California has higher cases! I’m from California got the heck out of there earlier this year. This whole time we were literally locked down and could barely go outside even to the beach, small businesses were closed etc. yet their cases remained one of the highest. They are also one of the most vaccinated. The data proves that the vax doesn’t stop the spread. Just look at Israel for example. The reason Florida is doing well because of the treatments we are able to get here. Plus heard immunity.

    Great, so when will common sense kick in (as it has with Universal Orlando) and the unscientific mask mandates will be dropped? I know they like selling the useless cloth masks with the Goofy nose for $10 so you can constantly take it on and off while shifting indoor to out (because the virus is apparently not around the outdoors you see, but it’s catastrophic the two minutes you’re on the Toy Story ride while you’re 2-year old tries to take it off), but at SOME point common sense has to come back to Orlando. So when? Because I won’t be booking any trips until this idiocy is over. I prefer Disney but I’ll happily take my clan to Universal if this persists.

    1. Sam P.

      ^^^ everything you just said. The on-off-on-off was so annoying. The best is when the outdoor line got indoors enough that it was then required. Like 🛑COVID exists beyond this line🛑 🙄

    2. Allison

      My son and I were just there last week. Fabulous trip, still huge Disney fans and can’t wait to plan our next Disney trip! BUT the on-off-on-off with the masks was awful. Makes no sense and is backed by no science. My son got yelled at by Cast Members for having his mask off or down so many times it was comical. Crazy. I hope by our next trip the masks are gone. Everyone have a Magical Day and be kind to each other!!

      1. JustFollowTheRulesIt'sNotThatHard

        So you knew going in the requirements on masks and you say to be kind to each other, but you disrespect the cast members by not following the rules and finding it funny how often your son disrespected them, too. 🙄 I don’t wear a mask in my daily life, but I’m miraculously able to somehow adhere to Disney’s requirements. Crazy. 🤯

        1. ThinkForYourSelf

          Masks are worthless. You are being a sheep.

          1. ReadThatAgain

            Obviously, your reading comprehension is sub-par.

        2. Bob S.

          Exactly, I thought the same thing.

  3. lorraine

    there m ay be hand sanitizer stations all around the park, but we ride 6-7 rides every time we go to one of the parks (about 1-2 times a week) and at least half of them are always empty……..

    1. heather

      pssst! lorraine, over here! we found out almost a year ago that your chances of catching the virus from touching things is basically zero . . . . .

  4. Sue

    Even these so called journalists are adding fear to a non existent pandemic.
    This so called virus has a 98% recovery rate with now 3 known therapies rendering a vaccine unnecessary.
    Florida has never been higher than 28.
    In the meantime, make no mistake, Disney is the one dictating to Orange County.
    It is high time cast members start revolting as the mask does not work.
    And, there are more deaths from the vaccine then if you get covid naturally.
    Really people stop buying into this nonsense; it is just so Disney can raise prices.

    1. Truth

      Agreed, in fact last year I had pneumonia for over 2 months because one my primary dr wouldn’t help me. She blamed it on COVID and wouldn’t help me further even though I gave her a neg. Covid test, so I had to go to a different dr that found out it was pneumonia. I know it was because of the mask. I went out shopping with family and while we were out I felt a sharp pain in my chest. Within a week I was extremely sick. I was in a locked down state. So it wasn’t like I was just freely doing things. Follow all the protocols. After that I knew it was all crap. I stopped wearing the mask. I did get Covid, from my in-laws. My mother made us soup while she was sick. Had the sniffles, before she got her positive test back. Within a few days I was down and out with Covid. And that was this year. The mandates don’t work! And either does the vax. There are so many who got the vax and still got sick and ended up in the hospital….. I haven’t gotten it again since and I rarely use the mask. Natural immunity is a real thing.

  5. I would love to go to Disney World.

    1. Do it

      It’s amazing! If you can, I recommend it. Especially now that the 50th is out. The parks are so amazing and beautiful 🤩

    2. PricesStink

      You need a 2nd mortgage

  6. Sue

    People if you are so scared don’t come down here please . We don’t want you here. This is Florida and we love our governor maybe Bc he is right and not a democrat. So if you believe the media then stay in your ass home in and let the Democrats run your life. That’s your choice. And if you want to wear a mouth diaper then go right ahead. But the one I love is the ones who drive in there car alone with a mask on.

    1. Seriously

      Agreed! I came from Comifornia, I can honestly say I’m so blessed to be in Florida now! Our governor is awesome and he follows the true science. Gruesome Newsome is a tyrant. He went to an expensive dinner while the rest of us were locked down, unable to live our lives or work. And the numbers in Comifornia are much worse, plus Newscum killed many nursing homes patients.
      Love Florida!

      Your sentence made absolutely no sense in so many different ways that it actually gave me a headache.

      1. ThinkForYourSelf

        The left has used the scamdemic to take away rights, steal an election, and attempt to control everyone. Face diapers are for sheep.

        1. BillOfRights

          Which rights have been taken away from you exactly? 😂😂😂

        2. Jordan

          I always find it funny when people say following the law or doing what’s right makes us sheep when you know they wear seat belts and get drivers licenses like everyone else.

    3. Elsie

      So true and funny.

  7. Rich

    I have been going all along because although the fearmongering media doesn’t like to say it, the 99% recovery rate was a no brainer. My wife has been more sick in the months since getting the vaccine than she would if she didn’t get it.

    1. Im so sorry

      I’m so sorry. I’ve heard many say that… I hope she gets well soon! This is one of the many reasons me and my family will not be getting the vax. We have all had covid. We trust our natural immunity.

    2. Jordan

      I know several people, including myself, that got the vaccine and never get sick. I know more people that have been hospitalized or died from covid than those that have had a negative reaction to the vaccine. The ones fearmongering are the ones telling others that getting the vaccine will do something bad to you when it won’t do anything other than help protect you if you do get covid.

      1. Tiffany

        lol jordan your comment gave me a headache! there’s no fearmongering going on telling people “you’re gonna die if you get the vaccine” people believe they should have a choice to put medicine in their bodies regardless if it was developed 30 years ago or 1 year ago. If any fearmongering is going on its people like you saying how dangerous this “deadly” virus is and if you don’t get vaccinated you can die. Look at the stats, over 100 million people alone in the USA have been infected and guess what, survived! If you think this so called “vaccine” is right for you, then go take it, but until you know everybody’s health history, anything you recommend is not only uninformed, but not wanted. Also, your wool is showing.

        1. Jordan

          I’m pretty sure it gave you a headache because it’s a logical statement and you couldn’t wrap your head around it. The thing you don’t seem to realize when it comes to making that choice of getting it or not, is that you not getting it, could cause someone else who actually can’t get the vaccine to get sick. So your choice doesn’t just effect you, but others around you. Hence why they have no smoking signs in areas. Yes, it’s your choice to smoke and harm yourself, but your choice can effect others that don’t want it.
          If you want to talk about stats, you need to make note of the number of people that also died as well and also the number of people in the hospital that are sick that didn’t get the vaccine compared the the number of people who did. Also, some people who have survived it have long lasting effects after recovering, so it’s not just a simple thing to get over.
          Oh, so you think my hair looks nice? Thank you, I enjoy having a fro! 🙂

    I would love to go but I am in high risk category and until the narcissistic Fox News watchers who deny scientific evidence, I will not be going to any Disney or Universal Parks. It’s hard to believe that when I was a child, Smallpox vaccines were being given and nobody fought against it. Neither did they resist when Measles, Mumps, and Rubella were administered. But something has happened to people who decide to fight against common sense. If everyone would have listened and wore masks and gotten vaccinated, this crisis would have been over by now. But due to false conspiracy theories floated by people like Tucker Carlson, we are still in the middle of it. Sorry if you disagree, but I have lived through the pandemics and when people cooperate and get vaccinated, the diseases disappear in a reasonable amount of time. This is a proven fact!

    1. Rich

      Yes, everybody got the vaccines as a child because they were PROVEN by years of testing and never had the thousands of complications and fatalities reported by the CDC now. Can’t compare apples and oranges. Too bad there isn’t a vaccine for people with fox derangement syndrome.

      1. Right

        Exactly. I’m shocked how many people still parrot and believe this garbage. I’m so sad for her and so many that still believe it. Even with the truth and studies that are coming out….

    2. You’ve got to be kidding

      See, your NOT following the science! This vax is actually not even a vax. It is literally an experimental shot that’s still in its clinical trial! No one can honestly say that’s it’s safe nor effective! In fact, it’s proving that it’s not effective! Since when do you have to get a booster shot within 8 months of getting the shot? What about those that already had the virus and recovered, why the heck should they get this experimental shot when they have natural immunity? Since when in science has natural antibodies not work? What science are you following? The MSN or CNN non science? I too can be considered that because of my immunity, however, when I got vivid, I took Ivermectin and it worked! In fact I have long haul covid and taking Ivermectin again! Guess what I’m doing better! The shot is not the answer since it is literally proven ineffective! Lastly do you remember the Gardisill vax that was supposed to be safe and effective? Do you remember a couple years later how many young women were either hurt or killed by the vax? They had to pull the vax! Do you know the story of the measles vax? If not then I would look it up! It took years and many lives for them to perfect it where there is a few fatalities from it now! Before you start arguing that this shot is as effective as the mumps, measles, rubella etc vaxes then you should learn their history and how long it took and how much data was taken before it was even approved! Doesn’t it bother you that the covid shots are still under emergency use, they lied when they said it was approved by the FDA? When in fact the vax that was approved is in fact in the EU comirnity and the us won’t allow it to be used here? There’s much more to the story which is why many have not gotten it! Not because they are selfish or evil, but have read the actual facts and have declined to get it! Which is every persons right!!!

    3. ThinkForYourSelf

      That’s funny. Drop the koolaid before its too late. You have been brainwashed by the propaganda spouted by the left.

  10. Just stop being afraid and enjoy life! We went in May, August and are now going again in October. Just wash your hands, wear your mask and take care of your health with vitamins and supplements. I have underlying conditions like diabetes and high blood pressure. I’m not over reacting about the virus. The scare tactics have gotten out of hand!

    Last time I was at Disney was the day before they closed. One of the most memorable and magical trips. The management since reopening has gone way off the deep end. They have destroyed all the magic. I eat in restaurants without a mask so if anyone these days has any common sense would realize it’s ok to go on a ride with others and not wear a mask. I refuse to subject my family to this. We have gone to many other theme parks throughout this “pandemic” and it was completely normal. And no one was dropping dead around you or getting sick like the governments of the world want you to believe. Where is Stitch? Can he get me off this planet that’s full of crazies?

    1. Karen

      There is nothing to fear but fear itself. We have been lied to by Fauci and the leftist politicians. Check out America’s Frontline Doctors, Dr. David Martin, Dr. Cole, Bartlett and others. I have been around large crowds with no problem. I also take Vitamins C, D, E and Zinc. Quit hiding and start living again and don’t live in fear. Fear us a liar.

  12. r u kidding

    “only” 57,000 deaths, and “only” 240 dying everyday.
    sounds great.

    1. ThinkForYourSelf

      Those numbers are bogus and anyone with a brain knows it. The CDC has admitted as much. They included COVID as a cause of death for people killed by gunshots, auto accidents, etc as has been well documented. The real numbers are well under the average # of deaths from flu each year.

  13. Tammy Taylor

    I don’t care if someone decides to get the jab or wants to wear a full body condom until the day they die, but I will stand beside them and fight for their right to do just that…why won’t they do the same for me? I actually believe in everyone’s freedom to choose. That’s what everyone has lost sight of. You may agree with all of the illegal mandates going on right now, but what happens when you don’t believe in the next one?? No one will take any of you seriously because you were so quick to just cower down and show your neck like a trained whipped dog. WE ARE FREE AMERICANS! START ACTING LIKE IT! I may not always agree with what you say but I will defend with my life your right to say it. That’s what being a true Patriot means and believing in our Constitution!

  14. M

    Time to get back to living normally. We are pushing in on two years now. The sky isn’t falling.

  15. Jordan

    I always find it funny when people say following the law or doing what’s right makes us sheep when you know they wear seat belts and get drivers licenses like everyone else.

  16. Elsie

    Can’t wait to go to our favorite place, but not now.Maybe next year.Hug’s

  17. Just spent 12 days at Disney and Universal Studios. Disney has indoor masking except when eating in a restaurant. At Disney, employees would remind you if you were not marked in the appropriate areas. All Disney employees were masked. Universal encourages following CDC guidelines. Most people were not masked indoors at Universal. Workers there were not masked at Universal. There was no social distancing in any lines at Disney or Universal. Thousands of people, especially on Columbus Day weekend.
    We all felt very safe being at the parks. We all masked indoors as it was required at Disney but just did it at Universal. Obviously it would have been better with no masks, but life is what you make it. We had a great vacation.
