According to various news reports, the White House is considering travel restrictions, and possibly even bans on domestic flights to and from the state of Florida.
Outbreaks of the new variants — including a highly contagious one first identified in the United Kingdom, as well as others from South Africa and Brazil that scientists worry can evade existing vaccines — have lent urgency to a review of potential travel restrictions within the United States, one federal official said.
While COVID-19 cases in Florida have declined in recent weeks, the U.K. variant has spread rapidly in the state during that time. It now accounts for up to 15% of new cases in Florida, according to estimates from a team of researchers modeling the variant’s growth across the country — up from about 1% at the beginning of January.
The reports say that no decision is imminent, but this would obviously impact The Walt Disney World Resort. That being said, it is no secret that most theme park guests at the moment live in Florida or travel with their own vehicle.
Some governments require testing and a negative result before flying, a restriction recently enacted by the Canadian government for their residents returning from the United States. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and CDC Director Rochelle Walensky have said they are discussing the possibility of such requirements on domestic flights within the U.S. at this time.
I really hope they don’t, I’m planning on going next month. 😭
Same here
ME TOO! And I am going to Tampa. I booked my flight since NOVEMBER!!!😧
I live in Tampa!! Come visit us…we’d love to have you and all is fine here. Don’t believe this hype
I hear that!! 3 weeks from today we leave for Disney. Ugggg This will be the 3rd trip cancelled if it passes.
Omg I hope not . 2 cruises canceled so we decided to go to epcot in April.
Same I’m leaving March 8th this is a reschedule of last year!
Are you perhaps on Uranus or Pluto, at the minute?
Currently on Earth, we have this thing called a pandemic.
And your point?
WHY IS ANYONE TRAVELING RIGHT NOW. That is the point.
Can you tell me how many cases of Covid have been contracted at Disney World or any other major gathering?
Been traveling the whole time. Have been completely safe
Her point is obvious !
So because of a virus everyone needs to stop living?!! Stupid! The virus isnt going away. Keep pushing, keep living…. Stop living in fear! 99% survival rate lol…
Thank you, we had to cancel 2 other trips. Airline tickets need to be used by May. We leave 3/01. This is crazy, we shop, go to the gym, talk with neighbors, associate with family and no illness. We are 67 and can’t even get scheduled for vaccine.
I concur ENTIRELY ! 😃
A pandemic that has a survival rate of over 99%……. it amazes me that people are so willing to give up so much freedom at the demands of a few politicians and government bureaucrats.
EXACTLY! Stupid… its all stupid. Fear mongering at it’s best. Life goes on and so must we.
I can guess who they voted for
There are no complete data to reliably estimate the actual mortality (death) rate of this virus. Even if you are correct, 1% of the current population is around 3 million people. It is not just mortality (death) but the impact on ICUs and hospitals offering very intensive care required of patients suffering severe Covid, not to mention the healthcare workers who have cared for these patients for months, watching them die horrible deaths without loved ones at their side. In addition to deaths, there are thousands who are suffering long-term morbidity (medical issues) including heart and kidney damage. Letting this virus ‘run wild’ results in mutations which can evade not only vaccines, but also cause reinfections, some of which may cause more serious disease and higher mortality, as happened with the flu epidemic in 1918.
Wow Kim is really, really smart. You do realize it is less than 1% of ppl “testing positive” have died, not 1% of the population. Live life!!
We would still like to be outside where its not below zero. Not even needing to go in restaurants or anything. Need to fly because its a 20 hour drive and can’t take that much time off work and school . It’s for mental health too!
Just because you are afraid of a virus with a 99% survival rate doesn’t mean other people shouldn’t live their life. Stop being so judgemental and worry about your own life.
99.9% survival rate.
Where do you get these numbers?? Hahahahahahaa. Do some math bruh. People dying all around you but hey 99.9% are surviving….🤣 gtfo
Jay the media can tout all the statistics they want but until we see people dropping left and right around us then that’s all they are just numbers without proof.
Wrong
“Bruh ” .. that fact that you use that term says it all … Natural selection Jay !!
Which means it will kill about 3 million people in the United States, not counting the thousands of cases of long-term morbidity, and increase the number of mutant variants which can evade detection and possibly result in even more severe disease, as happened in the flu epidemic of 1918.
They still had the super bowl. If sporting events are okay when so should be Disney.
5 rescheduled trips since last March. Planning travel to Florida to visit with my daughter, granddaughter, and son in law.
A pandemic with over 99% survival rate. Live life or stay inside.
So you’re okay with 3+ million US deaths?
Yes
I’m perfectly fine with it … the strong will survive
Get a life Susan. This is America we are done sitting in our houses !
Me either we leave for WDW in July
Us too, been a long year. We just want to sit outside in warm weather! Being inside because it’s 10 below for a LONG time isn’t healthy either.
I would think vacation is the least.of the worries. Banning freedom of travel is a bigger concern than vacation. Wait til they set up check points in America.
I almost died from Covid back in July…every 28 days ever since I recovered I donate convalescent blood in the hopes it will save more lives from this virus. My mother in law died from the virus in August. We were always strict maskers from the very beginning and still are. We live in Florida. We used to cruise at least 5 times a year….we miss it. But….if you are going to vacation…you have to be smart about it. Mask up….always. Carry and use hand sanitizer. Try to avoid crowds. You are right….hiding in your house is no way to live. We MUST learn to live with this virus.
Leave Florida alone!
Well, that exactly is the plan.
Right. They are trying to punish Governor DeSantis for being a successful Republican.
100%
Exactly what they are doing. Not even attempting to hide their plans anymore. It’s disgustingly obvious.
Sounds like a sore loser….
No, they are looking out for your health. Look up the statistics for Florida. Politics has nothing to do with it.
Right( lol) politicians never play politics! What cave do you live in?!
I am a grown adult. I’ll look out for my own health, thanks.
I am an adult and able to care for my own health! You stay sheltered, the rest of us are going to live.
Then they should ban travel to and from California and new york.
Oh? Then explain why California despite its overkill rules and lockdowns has more total cases and deaths than Florida. Go ahead. Ill wait
Right….since this morning’s news was about Disney moving a lot of its operations from CA to FL. Timing says it all. I work for a hospital system in Tampa bay and our numbers are actually trending down.
😂😂😂🐑
I wouldn’t call that successful tbh
Pretty sure you are joking about DeSantis being successful…right? He is such an embarrassing joke of a governor!!
That’s your opinion . I love our governor and I’m so thankful for him.
you should up your standards
YOU GUYS ARE SO LUCKY TO BE IN FLORIDA AND NOT IN NEW YORK WITH ALL THESE BRAIN WASHED ZOMBIES. IM GOING BACK TO FLORIDA IN THE NEXT FEW MONTHS. IM OVER THIS PLAN-DEMIC.
Absolutely! DeSantis is the worst Florida Governor in Florida History!
Our governor is awesome.
You are correct Carl, and I’m sure they will go after Texas next, they want to shut us down for having a successful economy compared to the rest of the country
You are so right!
No they want to close you down because your covid numbers have not declined. Wake up it is not polical its about saving lives. Mask up!! Stay the distance. Lets get over this covid
They have declined . What are you talking about .
the science says with the UK variant the #s will going up
The science? LOL!!
For your information numbers have declined while we still enjoy life 🤣
You keep believing it isn’t political. It is always political when it comes to the Democrats. They are ruining this country. They will keep us prisoners as long as they can. My son almost died from H1N1. No masks then or shut downs. I guess it was okay then since Obama was president then.
Did you even read the article? It CLEARLY states the number of cases have declined. Now, go take your magic vaccine and put on your mask.
Places that have been closed down for a year now have rising numbers.
Actually ours are down for my hospital system in Tampa Bay. Reported this morning….
Now if only a successful economy was the way to decide what to do. Better you should look at infection and mortality rates. And what is right for the country, your family, and neighbors, instead of vacation plans.
Amen!
this is a numbers/science thing only
paranoid much😁
Yup
The only success is the money in his pocket.
They are not. Florida is one of the states that have never given a crap about covid and the people. Wake up and mask up. Let’s get this covid over with!
Your drinking the liberal kool-aid
Nope. It is because traveling isn’t smart or safe during a pandemic.
Yea. Over 1.7 million cases of covid in Florida and counting. Yea Desantis is a real success.
3.45M in California 1.16M in LA county alone. And they are closed and mask mandatory. So you tell me who is better off. The state keeping the economy going or a state run by the Democrats. How many more people need to join their tent city?
And California has 17 million more people than florida. Apples and oranges
100 percent spot on and stop an Olympic bid
Amen to that…✌👍
Yeah and I was gonna get covid 19 because I went to the steel panther concert🤣🤣🤣
As always negative Tom has to jump on before there is anything to really verify. He loves negativity. One day it will catch up with you and your propaganda mistruths.
The only propaganda I’ve ever spread is about theme park maintenance.
I’m still waiting for those columns to come back… Eagerly waiting
Well, and you mistakenly said that Canadians are required by their government to get tested prior to entering the USA. I believe I read in several other places that the Canadian government is requiring people be tested prior to entering Canada, not leaving Canada…
You’re reading that as you choose to read it, I definitely am saying it’s upon their return to Canada. If you are a Canadian resident and come here, you do have to go home at some point.
Canada has gone full blown NWO
I was just at WDW this past January, the cleaning/disinfecting precautions were very visible, I felt that my safety was a priority
Dawn I was there in November and I agree with what you said at WDW. But as soon as you leave WDW it is very different outside WDW in Florida. Many with no masks…
Yes, ban travel to Florida. That should stop the spread…or wait, slow the spread. Everything else they have done has seemed to work.
How about stop international travel. Why do the people of USA always get the bans? It came from China. Shut down all international travel, till everyone is back to work in USA.
Negative Covid test before traveling to FL and upon arrival. You wouldn’t walk around with a lit match in a hairspray factory.
Ridiculous
Let the people decide! Enough with these orders/bans/restrictions!!!
Yes!!! This comment exactly!
I ABSOLUTELY AGREE!!!👌🏾
Apparently the people cannot make an educated decision. Look at the numbers and the people walking around without PPE and the lack if social distancing. Smart people exactly.
Yes, they are the ones who choose to make decisions for themselves, instead of living in fear, they actually look at the “science and data” that others screech about paying attention to until they don’t like what it says because it undermines their agenda…
Which people? If some don’t like it they will say it’s rigged.
471K DEAD. The people have been deciding. The US needs a national plan that everyone should follow
AGREE!
Pretty sure that’s illegal.
That’s never stopped them before.
Pretty sure you’re completely wrong and should educate yourself better before you comment.
Travel bans, lockdowns, mask mandates, and other actions are absolutely legal and enforceable during a health emergency.
Not that I agree with unrestricted travel, but you really should look stuff up before you accuse people of being uneducated, it makes you come across as condescending – especially when you’re incorrect.
There is substantial Supreme Court precedent that the federal government can’t restrict interstate travel. If you look up freedom of movement, you will find numerous and consistently upheld Supreme Court cases banning the federal government from doing this. Wikipedia has a nice synopsis.
You are correct that lockdowns, travel bans, mask mandates are legal. However, they can’t necessarily be imposed by the federal government. Only states can enact some of these restrictions. This is how NY imposed its travel bans from other states.
Not trying to be mean, I just thought it might be helpful to know. What the federal government may be able to do is ban interstate commerce from Florida until the state itself imposes these bans. While this would be political suicide, it would be an effective way to force Florida’s hand.
It is illegal. The federal government can not ban travel to/alienate a specific state.
It is illegal. The federal government can not ban travel to/alienate a specific state.
Is that even constitutional
Genuinely serious
Doesn’t matter, they only respect the Constitution when it suits them.
Where in the Constitution does it outline travel? The answer to that, because you, like so many, seem confused about what the Constitution actually is, is “nowhere”. Just because people don’t like something doesn’t mean it’s unconstitutional. No “life, liberty, and the pursuit” of happiness does not mean you get to do anything you want, or that no one can tell you no about anything. If that was the case, there would be no laws.
YES, travel bans are legal. Just like mask mandates, lockdown (which, by the way, is actually in the Constitution), and other limitations during a pandemic response.
People need to learn their history. This happened in 1918 and the restrictions were more stringent and without a dissenting population. It curbed what could have been even worse. Educate yourself People.
I addressed this in a previous comment. It’s supported by the 14th amendment. Look it up if you don’t believe me.
Public Health Service Act that uses language from an 1890 law allowing the federal government to make and enforce regulations to prevent the spread of communicable diseases “from one State or possession into any other State or possession.
I’d be interested where you found that quote. I’ve been looking into this and can only find reference to restricting travel from “foreign states” ie other countries. I might be wrong. It would surprise me because there’s pretty clear Supreme Court precedent that this can’t be done outright by the federal government.
Yep I’m just sick of all of this! I leave in 2 weeks but now I’m concerned about my trip in December!!!
I’m worried too! My family and I are supposed to be leaving the 26th of September to be there on their 50th anniversary.
Keep them SAFE. 50 th Anniversary. This is the very group, including me, that they are concerned about, for now to take extra CNN precautions. Please understand this.
Some Disney pro says he expects covid to be over by November. I am trusting him. So, no worries about December.
I live in Florida went to Disney in August and travel to Palm Beach and Miami often we are fine. I’m in St Pete
Maybe we should of banned international travel before it came in. Just saying.
True
They are so worried about a South African variant yet cases in South Africa have declined 80% in the past month. In the UK cases have declined 67% in the past month
Maybe we should implement the same restrictions the UK and South Africa have in place.
That’s cause they ban alcohol. Gatherings. Have a curfew and closed beaches and made not wearing a mask illegal.
You know the UK is on lock down since Jan 6th and until at least Feb. 22nd, right? Of course the cases have gone down.
lol of course… we’re supposed to fly down from MA on the 27th… would be hilarious (except to my wife) if this ban happens while we’re there as we’ll be staying until the 6th.
Ridiculous. We’ll just drive anyway.
They should ban driving too if they are going to ban flying. Just have Florida completely locked up. In particular, shut Disney World down like California does. To be consistent, I mean.
There is this little thing about America citizens having the right to travel, sometimes known as freedom of movement. It is unconstitutional to ban travel within the United States.
But I guess that doesn’t mean much to this administration.
There are different protocols in place during a pandemic. Freedom of movement isn’t in the Constitutional amendments or the Bill of Rights. It is just something that we believe in this country. We don’t have passports to move from state to state. And you can go into or out of Florida even with the FLIGHT ban. It says nothing about DRIVING or even taking the TRAIN!!!
You have freedom of movement but no right to fly there. Or to not have a covid test before doing so. That’s how constitutional issues work.
The WH is pissed florida doesnt fit their narrative. The shutdown in california has done nothing to curb spread while throwing millions into the broken EDD system. I’m here on vacation from CA, and its just sad how things are operating safely here and everything is closed back home.
Exactly!!!
EXACTLY! THESE PEOPLE LIVE IN FEAR. THATS WHY THEY WANT EVERYTHING LOCKED DOWN. SO GLAD FLORIDA IS STANDING THEIR GROUND.
Good. I hope they do
You’re a fool
So if we already are booked and driving down to stay the 19th to the 28th of this month since we’re not flying would be OK
Yes
You’re a Disney blog and are nowhere near the level of credibility to post clickbait headlines about COVID like this.
Shame on you, go back to reporting about updates to new rides. Leave serious issues to the scientists.
We are not the source, but travel in Florida is part of our beat. We are obligated to provide whatever info is out there that may impact a vacation.
tony tony TONY
if you mustered the same amount of energy into entering the backspace button until this comment was deleted as you did into writing this
you wouldn’t have gotten the comment of shame by tom
lol
This issue is of complete relevance to Disney World. And, nobody trusts the scientists to deal with the serious issues anymore they’ve botched this so badly over the last year, so not sure why we need to leave anything to them any longer. Tom’s more accurate than them anyway.
If you can’t say something nice, don’t say nuthin’ at all…Thumper. Btw…all other disney blogs are saying the same. Educate yourself.
The problem is the scientists are picking and choosing. In this case if they close down Florida, then they should close down California and New York.
Scientists have nothing to do with reporting White House decisions that will influence WDW. It’s the Disney blog’s job.
So foreign people can fly in, including from the countries with the so-called new strains like UK and Brazil, but not our own people who are already getting vaccinated? Makes sense, they’re making sure terrorists and criminals at Gitmo receive vaccines before we do, why not ban domestic travel too?
I have plans to drive there from the Houston area in mid-May. Unless the place I’m renting is not taking anyone in, I’m still going. They admit to knowing nothing and they’re thinking of worse case scenarios. Florida and Texas has not been hit any better or worse than any other state and didn’t lock down for long. There’s no point to lockdowns. They don’t work.
That is discriminatory towards a certain group of people with disabilities so I think that the ADA. would cancel that
If you saw what a mess South Africa and the UK are right now because of this new varient you would get why.
Money money money!
We just flew in from Louisiana this past Friday, hit Universal Saturday and Disney thru Tuesday and flew out Tuesday afternoon. Had no issues! DVC members and passholders for both places. Just a quickie for the 1st of the year. Met several people from out of state that flew in. Lots of locals also. Wasnt very packed great time to go.
OH HELL NO I JUST BOOKED 12 DAYS STARTING ON MAY 7TJ
If they are going to ban, they need to not only ban flights, but driving and walking too. Otherwise what good is it? They also need to ban within Florida, like shut down Disney World and just lock up in general, like California does to Disneyland. Otherwise, they are just plugging one leak in the bucket when the bucket has many other leaks.
May, I question your sanity and also pity your children.
Thanks for the info. Just today, I was planning to fly to WDW in April. I will forget it.
If read correctly, this is about domestic FLIGHTS into and out of Florida. COVID is a problem there and with airports being INTERNATIONAL hubs there, and the rise of the new strains of the virus from other countries, this is actually a decent plan. With the rise of cases of the original strain in California it could be a plan there, too. Nothing is said about DRIVING into or out of Florida. This has nothing to do with their governor or politics. This has to do with the pandemic and our health and safety. Planning a trip? Don’t want to drive? Get to a state close to Florida, ie Georgia or Alabama. Drive from there.
Yes please. Keep the snowbirds out, we don’t need more of that, thank you very much.
Tom, the administration used the term restriction not ban, and it would be done only with state and local approval. Stop putting out anti Biden administration false news.
Whatever I write, both sides think it’s propaganda against them. Maybe you’re all just over-sensitive, both sides.
Yes, everyone is way too sensitive these days.
Yes, let’s ban travel to Florida. But open up our borders and take down the wall. Let in all these illegals who have not been tested for Covid. That’s all ok!!!! They just want to punish DeSantis because he’s a Republican!!! And he’s doing a great job!!!!
Welcome news to this native Floridian.
An earlier move along similar lines would almost certainly have prevented this new variant from reaching FL and also the mass exodus of NY, NJ and other Northeastern residents to wide-open, no restrictions, come on down Florida.
It’s funny because I’m a truck driver and they can’t stop us. All of this is a joke. Life has to go on.
This is the very reason why it was so important to research treatments, because the virus will mutate. The constitution prohibits bans on interstate travel. White house officials should read it.
So let me get this straight. “ While COVID-19 cases in Florida have declined in recent weeks, the U.K. variant has spread rapidly in the state during that time. It now accounts for up to 15% of new cases in Florida”
So the UK variant is spreading rapidly even though cases are declining. Bottomline is cases are declining in Florida and this article is simply trying to incite fear.
We don’t really try to incite fear on Disney World blogs, no.
The Biden Administration wants Florida punished for being open. They want to destroy their economy. Florida’s leadership can sue the government for targeting them, and I am sure they will.
What does that mean if Miami is a connection to the final destination?
Cases have declined but the new virus is highly contagious? Where is the logic??? Lmao they just hating on Florida for being so successful in vaccine distribution…oh and Tom Brady is their new enemy cause he didn’t wear a mask lol it was all his fault😂😂😂
Yehe. We are coming to florida from Aruba. Just keep the doors open for us. This the 30th time that we come spending our vacation in florida. We love florida. Thanks.
If everyone in Florida would listen and wear a mask, limit travel, and stay out of the damn clubs and bars, we’d be almost over this crap. Stop already, Florida!!!
We are going March 14-21. We always drive, but since flights are so cheap we booked flights
Wear two mask…Flordia folks don’t care..look at the governor
I just came back..Crackle barrel restaurant was pack like a normal day..
Bottom line, there is no right or wrong. Its what is best for you and your family. And people deserve the right to decide for themselves. If you have health issues, or are elderly,or are just plain scared, then YOU stay home. And that is OK. But it should not be mandated by an already ineffectual government. And I mean the former and current regimes.
I live in Florida and I have been to every park since the pandemic, they do a really good job in keeping things clean and making you feel safe during this time. In my opinion the spread of the virus probably is mostly due to what people are doing outside of public places. There are rules in place when you are in public to slow the spread of the virus, but when people are with family and friends, and people from their inner circle they tend to be more comfortable and are not social distancing or wearing a mask. We should be more responsible and not rely on others to force responsibility on us. If everyone did their part outside of public places we can get back to normal a lot sooner. Everything doesn’t have to be political, it just keeps us decided and gets out focus off of what’s really important.
If the numbers are dropping, why close it?
Does a domestic travel ban mean we can go at all? Or just require a negative COVID test before going. Bachelorette party planned for April :(
Why is Chinese virus a racist term, but UK, South Africa or Brazil virus strain is not? Or Spanish flu. Or Hong Kong virus… just asking for a friend.
Lots of people are flying into Disney World.
Great so when I have to give up everything, house care livelihood who will take care of me , NO ONE ☝️, wake up morons
What about people that own a 2nd home in Florida (including myself), how does that work?
Write president Biden and your congress persons to say no
Tell them you are with the Newsome party, let you right in
This was not an issue when during the super bowl. I have trip booked to see my son. I know my risks. If dumb ass football is not a problem then my travel plans should be either.
I guess all these people saying they are coming down to FL to go to the parks don’t realize that we are in a pandemic . Must be nice not to have your job or family affected by the virus .
Use your brain people !
Tremendous overreach by the Federal Government. Solution: Fly into Alabama or Georgia, rent a car and drive. Problem solved.
Going to be a cluster going to ft.meyers next month who knows if it happens when
Now this becomes a political forum….lol..
So let me get this straight… they are willing to ban travel to and from Floridia but not international travel? Way to go U.S. in protecting your people. If you stopped the international months ago we wouldn’t have this problem. Let’s try to model the example new Zealand has set
I’m not 100% sure this isn’t designed to hurt the states that are up and running. We in Florida are enjoying a bit of prosperity and our “numbers” are no worse than states that are locked down. and, the recovery rate is nearly between 95 and 99% and our vaccination programs are running smoothly and getting better every day. As a matter of fact our regular flue season was almost non existent. As I said … they have to make the states that bungled this whole thing look better and get federal aid because they mismanaged their budgets.
Oh yes restrict our domestic travel when Florida has had half as many cases as New York and we have a larger population than NY and Uncle Joe is opening the border to those bringing in WHATEVER!
I just got back from vacationing in Orlando, it was pretty drastically different than the last time I was out there pre-pandemic. They are definitely taking a extra precautions which is nice to a degree, but it does take a toll on the overall Disney experience. We decided to skip the actual parks because we were told that although characters are in the park, they are behind a rope, children cannot get autographs nor give their favorite characters hugs and get photos. We also skipped out on the Character Breakfast because of the same reasons. Still had an amazing time as we always do, but it was a pretty big culture shock (I live in a small country town in Indiana) Security was extra tight, quite possibly because of Superbowl going on right in Tampa, I never have felt safer, but I also never felt so much like I was a criminal ( laughing but very serious) The beaches down by Dosoto State park were beautiful and pretty secluded from crowds but about an hour or so away. Hope this helps anyone with what to expect and hope y’all have great vacations :-)
I hope That the White House Does it an act banned Domestic flight To Florida at all I had to Reschedule my flight already there is a lot invested in this I have been going through A lot medically This past year I have been told I can go if the White House goes through with the banned on flights to Florida I will be beyond I will be beyond
I hope it does not happen I had to reschedule My flight 2 Florida already once This Make a lot of people mad And put A lot of businesses out of business I am hoping this doesn’t happen A lot of businesses out of business I am hoping this doesn’t happen I need this Vacation After a long year Of dealing with a lot of medical issues was cleared to go please don’t put a banned on flights to Florida please.
Please stay home. We really need your money but not COVID. Thank you
Totally disagree that most guests to WDW are getting there using their own transportation.
This is pathetic. As soon as football is over (Money maker) they start this phony crap again!
Funny only on FL too right? Is this is “punish” the Governor? sick this is evil! whatever makes people happy and healthy they are stopping! WAKE up people! this is not about a virus you have a 99.8% chance of surviving!!
Um…this isn’t the only state with the UK variant. So, is it going to be US-wide? It’s in California as well..
Boo!! I hope this doesn’t happen. Trip planned for end of May.
Really? The white house (is that even a politically correct name?) is going to supersede state rights and restrict trade for a single state. Don’t see that happening and if it did I would imagine a huge class action suit would result, not to mention the constitutionality of such and edict. A number of state have worse covid numbers than Florida – Okay – they’re not a renegade “red” state. All I can say is WOW
That’s stupid. Covid will continue to have strands just like the flu. The flu and covid have been around for many years. We can not kill our economy and live in fear forever.
The only state in the country having fun and they want to stop that. Cone on down 80 degree in Daytona today
I hope this doesn’t happen we go in 9 days.
There are about 6 or 7 Anaheim/SoCal YouTube vloggers currently in Orlando. Some have no return to SoCal plans.
My SIL is getting married soon in Florida. She doesn’t live there 🤦🏻♀️
Guess, no one noticed the Flu numbers are down, deaths for heart attacks, and all others. Because hospital get paid extra money by the government for each covid death.
Can’t imagine Florida won’t fight back against this. Sounds like political payback because DeSantis speaks against the current occupants of the WH.
Omg we are planning on going in june,we have our,house,airfare,and disney tickets already, we were going to go last year but rebooked for this year,i hope it doesnt happen.
If you can travel to be on campus for college or you could keep the superbowl with a live audience of 25,000 people, then I think people should be allowed to travel to go to Disney if they want too…
What a bunch of bs, this entire WH admin should be thrown away
Do u have any family that have died from it? Have you been serioisly ill from it? When you do we can then discuss your feelings of how its no big deal. Maybe you feel they were just going to die anyway. Go on vacation, don’t wear a mask, come home and give it to family and watch them die. See how you feel afterwards. So if that 1% includes a parent, a child, or a best friend its ok? Well maybe it is ok with you people as long as it doesn’t affect your plans.
Drive to Florida! Don’t fly
its quite scary how so many people think this pandemic is a hoax or think that they are invincible. Why can’t we be like new zealand? only then will we be able to truly appreciate the magic of disney in all of its glory
Tom, I would like your opinion about going to Disney World during spring break time this year. I have avoided all places Disney during spring break for years but this year we are considering it. With the decreased capacity numbers and many people still not choosing to travel do you think we could take a trip to WDW at the end of March and get to ride more than one ride per day?
I think you can definitely ride many things, lines are still long but not as long as pre-pandemic (at least in minutes, not in length).
Sorry y’all, Florida needs to close .. too many ppl are causing lots of problems..
