Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

[matt9112]

This seems directionally correct. We have a trip planned for early October that hinges on vaccination. We are in the key target demographic for Disney (4 kids, stay deluxe, eat in their restaurants etc etc). We would go with masks but not without a return of more key restaurants and entertainment. Just rides isn’t enough for us to shell out $5k for a few nights with early park
Closing and no chance to meet Mickey. Casual conversations with similar people say the same

They keep making cuts...im not rich but i assume well off folk can compare WDW to a bunch of other destinations that provide FAR better value. However florida being one of the only states thats full blown open helps....i see NY plates all day in Orlando.

It is winter. Lots of snow birds in FL. The ones I know still went this year.

 

[Think Tink]

You never know...any given Sunday.

Looking good right now for the Browns though.

But I can’t get comfortable until the game is over.

 

[matt9112]

Okay SO, if something happens tonight/tmr, that would make it possible for someone else to become leader, then will that potentially speed vaccine things up a little??? I know its just two weeks, but that's a years time these days...

Amazing how much people think one man has power wise on that micro level. Sure theres a ton of tone setting that leadership could do ALOT better but the raw gears turning is likely unchanged.

As long as were cool when i fly up north once or twice a month. I mean were even right?

I’m gonna watch the Steelers with him tonight and give him some of my beer as a show of appreciation

If you’re haven’t had enough beer to no longer care, it’s gonna be a long night.

It’s halftime as I post this.

They appear to have taken the normal fourth quarter blow a huge lead and moved it up to the start and without the lead first.

The smack talk from my kids is unbearable now.

I kinda knew early...you always know.
I’ve moved on to other things. Been at this many decades and can’t sweat the small stuff of football anymore

This one is long over...and you sent the Ravens for KC...

Best day in cleveland since they got the fire under control

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

Scoreboard!

I’m agreeing with you

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

They just scored again...can you say something negative about my Sixers now

Ummm...you know I live right across from Philly, right?

I’ve taken an interest in the sixers and that ain’t looking good either.

Positivity still high... maybe plateauing... but a high plateau is a very bad thing. That only cause cases to continue to spike.

Yeah but that's all Miami's fault. Certainly The Greater Orlando Area is fine... o, wait...

But people can just shrug it off, right? It's not that bad... o, wait...

Note where Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas fall.

Now, if you go to an event in Orange County where there's 100 people, what's the chance someone there is infected?

That's for just 100 people. Wonder how many are at WDW?


But what's the worst that can happen?

And of course, also excellent decision-making...as evidenced here:

Florida government declares college football more important than COVID vaccine

It’s pretty easy to feel hopeless after the past week. There have been far more dangerous, frightening, and completely deflating examples of how our priorities and perceptions have been borked beyond repair. So to find comedy in the state of Florida putting a halt to COVID testing and...

Somebody remind me again why I should go to Florida. I have to submit in writing, wait for approval(ha good luck with that) and then spend the next 2 weeks in my house when I get home

He’s a buffoon.

An embarrassing A-clown following a “model” that completely self-destructed more in the last 9 days than any human not holding out in a bunker...

That’s Florida...where elections rarely go well.

Out of curiosity, is anyone from New York?

I understand what drives Florida, but I'm a bit confused why there isn't more chatter from the North East when they seem to be doing quite poorly. I thought they'd be more skittish from their experience in the Spring.

New York has been...strange.

I hate to think it’s about politics...but i think they are expecting help when the decks clear next week.
Money is a really a big problem in this area. More than they’re even complaining about. That’s rare. Normally nobody is “shy” in these parts.

Hey, hey, hey 'dems fighting words. lol the sixers are all we got. of course we've only got about 8 players healthy enough to play but that's another episode in the life of a philly fan

Embiid is the most gutless player I think I’ve ever seen...and they cater to him.

My neighbor Doug pederson is gonna be fired. Talk about a mess? Philly always seems to do their best

I'm a Native NY'er (lol in the "city" that is) lol it maybe be that we're notoriously cynical, generally speaking we really aren't a "skittish" type of city or state. Seriously, I don't know many folks who thought that this was going to get better before it got worse.

So maybe it's a type of thing that where we (and I'll throw Philly in this also) had really low expectations.
