Terror Attacks
Time to stop panicking and start living - I live in Belfast in Northern Ireland - I have lived my whole life - all 34 years of it under terror treats and witnessed terrorist attacks. Are you going to put your life on hold because someone wants to scare you. Slap on the sun cream and have a great holiday - and I will see your there - I am going to be there from the 21st June aswell so if we go we all go together. We have one hell of a party in Heaven:sohappy:

Yes, there is great danger. BUT, that is on the highway on the way to the airport. All the crummy unprofessional drivers. I feel safe once on the airplane. Those people are professionals.
I will go to Walt Disney World and anyplace I want. If you let nuts scare you you will never get out of bed.
Enjoy your trip. Once you get there it will be impossible not to and the only thing you will worry about is how to come up with the money to go back again, and again and again.

Hi, guys!
These discussions about terrorism and the horrible things media can do can be found all over the world. I am from Brazil, and we have the same problems, like papers publishing rumors that make everybody freak out, and lots of stories about terrorists, and many people canceling trips to the USA, saying: "It's dangerous to go there, because of terrorist attacks, and Disneyworld is a major target, blah blah blah..." This is ridiculous! I keep telling them that we are not safe anywhere, and it's not beacuse of spt 11 that things will get any worse. I live in Rio de Janeiro, one of the most famous tourist cities in the world (that would make us a major target here in Brazil) and everybody is afraid of terrorist attacks in the USA, while there are shooting everyday in the city slums, and sometimes on the buses, or in banks... Last year, I went to WDW in October, and most of the people who were going with me cancelled their trips, and from a big group, we ended up traveling with four people. But as a good disney freak, I would never cancel a trip to WDW for anything in this world! Here is what I told my father last year, before my trip to WDW:
I DON'T CARE IF DISNEYWORLD CAN BE A TERRORIST TARGET. IF GOD CHOOSES THAT I WILL DIE, I WILL, AND IT BETTER BE AT THE MAGIC KINGDOM THAN IN ANY OTHER PLACE IN THE WORLD!
Kisses from Brazil!

Threats of Terrorism
For starters, let me first say that after the 9/11 attack, my family and I still went down to start off our "Christmas holiday" with our annual visit to WDW. Disney, like always, made sure we were all very comfortable. There were searches of bags going into the parks, the attendants at the parking facilities were checking names, drivers licenses and check-in/out dates. Disney was right on top of things. We weren't scared of being there for a minute! It's really a shame that we even have to think about the possibility of a terrorist attack but I think after the terrilble 9/11 attack, it kind of stays in the back of everyone's mind when it comes to flying and/or travelling.
Even last summer when we were there, there was a very bad storm and the CM were very on top of things with their walkie talkies (or whatever they're called nowadays) as to where people should go to take cover and how to address screaming people who didn't know what was going on. Nothing happened of course but still...it was good to know that CM were on top of the situation.
Disney has really beefed up their security and I think the best thing we could do is show the terrorists that they can't stop us. We've fought for the right for freedom and they will never put us under!

24 days to Disney Yee Haw!

I agree with you 100% about U.S. News coverage. I am an American but, have serveral friends who are from other countries. It is very limited what we report in our newspapers, television or other media outlets on what is happening around our world. Unless it is like the school shooting in Germany or a car bombing in Paris. We hardly hear what and how other countries are up to and doing. Which is sad because they always report about the U.S. on all their news coverage. Every country knows exactly what is happening over here and if asked we could hardly tell you who is President or King of any given country other than ours.

That's a good point pheneix. I am sure the White House and many other D.C. sites are the same way. That's why there is so much security at the White House (and the fact that President is there...duh!) and why Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport is treated differently (since so close to D.C. monuments). Some place are always going to considered "targets" just because their national prominence. That doesn't mean something will happen to them anytime soon. WDW has made it 30+ years and it keep going strong!

israels opinion....
As someone who lives in Israel I can tell you one thing:
Get ready
Currently in Israel there are almost no people who haven't lost good friends and family in terror.
If the USA continues trying to fight terror by what works for them,
without starting a world war,
We will be seeing many terror acts in the USA.
Well sorry to say but... we need a world war
because all it takes is one man
5 ponds of explosives
and a crowd
Even this new government agency will not help...
As long as Iraq Iran Saudi Arabia and Suria can continue exporting terror without any response from the USA...
terror will continue.

Its amazing what lengths some people will go to to fight for a piece of dirt or flag.
I take it from youre desire to fight a war that you wont be involved or you might not be so quick to suggest one.
The strange thing is one mans hero is another mans terrorist, a concept that the US hs never quite graspped. It demands action and support for ite "war" on terrorism but has funded and allowed fund raising for terrorist acts on other countries soil.
It may be just me but it seems that the attacks have got worse since the Israely hard linners destabalised the Palastinian authority to rid themselves of Arrafat. You always reap what you sow.

In the industry...we refer to FOX as the "Bottom of the Barrel"....they are very big on tabloid crap....there News Channel...not so much....but there local affiliate stuff is god awful.

"If you ever work for FOX I will kill you!"
