      That’s not how humor works.

      Many of their repeat customers live in Florida. They won’t be vaccinated, and they will not bring proof of vaccination to Disney World. They will bring their shitty attitude, however. They’re the only ones who are going to be stupid enough to visit Disney, so they will be the main customers Disney has to cater to.

      The governor is also looking to pick fights with Disney over anything.

      The tourism drops in Florida over the Summer have already been significant, and they’re mainly MAGA nazi assholes. Disney will be the home of “patient zero” for many years to come as it spreads disease all over the World.

    Hahaha, Republicans ruined disney even more. They only know how to kill the economy and ruin good things. They have no other skills besides human trafficking.

        Here I am thinking, “Damn $7500/mo, I could gross that every month for the rest of my life for my partner and I, and we’d be more than comfortable.” Then I realized it’s still less than $100k/yr, and inflation is a bitch.

        …I’m never going to be able to afford a house, will I?

          Housing prices are dropping currently, so if you have some money saved up when it finally crashes (assuming you still have a job) you might be able to own a home.

        Who are completely festooned in Disney regalia (clothing, bags, buttons, hats, etc). I was coerced into visiting SoCal and the amusement park ecosystem not long ago. The amount of money spent on Disney apparel is stupefying. I began attempting to spot people dressed normally of which there were few. The amount of money spent on Disney anything is insane. Though the same seemed true at Universal Studios. I do also remember trying to curb my thinking, “Let people enjoy things” and then being dismayed to have 40-yr old men in wizard robes pushing me aside to buy a HP wand. At least they serve alcohol at Universal, but Bruce was gone [sniff].

    Undermining the health of your population is also how you lose even faster to China.
    USA is devolving in every significant aspect of life quality. And this is already hitting the economy too.
    USA is making itself irrelevant through immense stupidity one would have thought impossible.

        And by almost we kind of mean exactly as if he is an agent for a hostile power, because there is nothing most of us can imagine Trump would do differently to undermine USA, allies, NATO, democracy and the west more than he is doing, if he was working exactly on that for Putin.
        Yet Americans allow him to continue.

          You have little imagination. day 1 ban arms exports, foreign military aid, cut all ties to Israel, Indonesia, and any other rightwing dictatorships we’re propping up, order generals to release all information on past and ongoing military operations.

          Appoint heads of the FBI, CIA who will release all documents and extradite the agents who committed crimes against foreign countries to those countries.

          Bam, US empire over any%

            He is testing the limits on how far he can go without being stopped. He can’t just do anything, he isn’t a dictator yet.

              He is the commander in chief, he can cut arms shipments to whoever he wants and refuse to elaborate, citing “national security”, as Bush did.

                No he can’t, when he stopped arms shipments to Ukraine that was illegal, because those shipments were approved by congress.
                Congress is ALWAYS above the president when they have qualified majority.

                  The Symington Amendment says the president legally cannot give weapons to states committing genocide, there’s a million other legal arguments the president can deploy, let the SCOTUS shoot a new one down each month, and when you get tired of that, let them enforce it.

    Don’t go to Disney regardless. It’s A tourist trap now. Too many people, too expensive, stupid add on charges to simple Attempt to get on rides with that stupid fast pass plus bullshit…honestly, from a long time Disney vacationer, it has jumped the shark. Just stay away. It’s not worth the money or hassle.

      that stupid fast pass plus bullshit

      I went to Disney for the first time as an adult, on a college trip. The school handled all the logistics, including buying the tickets. I didn’t know about Fast Pass. Imagine what it was like to show up and find out not only that it’s ubiquitous and free (other theme parks I’ve been to only sold them as an upcharge, so I never would’ve considered getting it even if I’d heard of it), but that it’s also a thing you have to sign up for in advance.

      I felt cheated. Yet, nobody seemed to care because everyone expected me to already know about it somehow. Excuse me for not being Disney-obsessed, for not living around Orlando, and/or for being too poor most of my life to afford going there. It seems the days of “buy ticket, go into park, get on ride” are long gone. I got there early, yet I went on a total of 3 rides that day: Space Mountain, the Haunted Mansion, and the frickin’ Small World ride (which was the only one without a line. It was just as bad as advertised.) There was no time for anything else, because the lines were insanely long and I was apparently the only person in the park who didn’t have some sort of Fast Pass.

      That was over a decade ago. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s gotten even worse since then.

        Dont worry, at Universal, imagine your surprise when you get the fast pass and then get stuck in a (still smaller) line. That’s when you see a group get walked past you and you find out they paid for the VIP ticket and they get to skip in front of you.

      It is terribly crowded. And there isn’t enough shade, or places to sit. Still, at least some of the rides are really well done, have air-conditioned lines, and are of decent length. I went to Knott’s berry farm a month or two ago, and I’d say that was worse. Terrible food options with insane markups—like, at a cafeteria-style bbq place, a single beer costs $16.50. And we waited for over an hour in the sun for what felt like a 30-second ride (This site lists it at 1:02, but I’m skeptical).

    I was already boycotting Florida for their state government’s participation in various Nazi-like activities, such as building a concentration camp, so this just adds to their reasons for me to stay away. It’s too bad, because I’ve had some good times there at the beach, but there are other beaches.

    Everyone’s saying they won’t go to Florida anymore but when their neighbors travel, Florida will come to them.
