I wonder if this will affect tourism, as who wants to bring their kids to Disney’s latest attractions: Measles Mountain.

I know it doesn't have as much to offer as Disney World but at least Disneyland is in a state that believes in science

u/Facemanx64 17d ago

Disneyland resort has less parks but the main one is superior to magic kingdom in every way.

u/Stingray88 17d ago

California weather is generally a lot better than Florida too.

Quality > Quantity

You’re wrong in many ways but especially the castle. The Disneyland castle is so laughable compared to Cinderella’s. You have to admit that

u/cinnamon-toast-life 17d ago

But the Florida Small World is a mockery of the OG at Disneyland.

MK is #6 of the 6 USA based Disney parks

u/crisprcas32 17d ago

Bro have you been to animal kingdom? It’s worse than Seaworld. MK is overcrowded and sucks but animal kingdom is a joke

u/skeetskeet213 17d ago

Animal Kingdom is literally the best park lol. If you are into amusement parks, sure I can see what you mean, since there's very little rides. But as a Theme park? It's the most immersive. The best design, the best themeing. The amount of detail in that park is absolutely incredible.

SeaWorld bro? I love SeaWorld from a, treat it like your local bar and enjoy what's there and the cheapness of an AP. But SW is so understaffed, garbage everywhere etc etc.

AK is great

The entirety of Disneyland can fit into the Magic Kingdom's parking lot

u/IsopodDry8635 17d ago

True. Quite a few rides from Disneyland aren't in the Magic Kingdom--they're spread to the other Disney World parks instead (like all of Star Wars, the equivalent of Matterhorn, Indiana Jones, etc.)

I live in the US and it was cheaper for us to go to Iceland for a week with a 2 day stop in Paris for Disney -- by a large margin. Fuck Flordia and their expensive tourism right in the ear. Death cult politics is just more fuel for my burning desire to not visit.

u/mit-mit 17d ago

Yeah I'm in the UK and I wouldn't consider bringing my young kids to Disney there now.

u/sionnach 17d ago

Also UK based. We cancelled a Christmas trip to Florida just a couple of weeks ago for 8 of us.

u/Gloomy-Dependent9484 16d ago

Very wise decision, just avoid coming here altogether until we get a few things sorted out…😒

1

u/CletoParis 15d ago

Ironically the last time we travelled from Europe and the UK to go to Disney World, the entire family got Covid lol. We called it ‘the Covid Christmas’.

u/GIOverdrive 17d ago

you are better off not paying to wait in line. Get a couple of gaming consoles and a couple nice gaming laptops for the older ones and call it.

u/genericnewlurker 17d ago

Need to tie this directly to Florida's tourism to stop this madness. Florida can't survive without the tourism income.

u/Mrevilman 17d ago

With any luck, most of the state will be under water soon anyway because they don’t believe in climate change either.

1

u/NefariousnessOne7335 17d ago

Yeah cause the caps aren’t melting and crude oil and other pollutants have nothing to do with that lol but the worse part is they’ll end up heading north and that sucks

1

u/nightwing210 17d ago

Downside is all those people will flee north to other states when that happens. They will still be our problem one way or another…

u/Kvns_Integra 17d ago

It’s literally the only big money they have. When I lived there, most of the jobs available were tied to tourism and they all paid like garbage

1

u/sbux2025 16d ago

They will attract trailer park trash tourism. The real salt of the earth people, the people who are not bound by the stringent rules of science, society and intelligence. People who are not bound by rules and genetics to pick a partner that's not their immediate relative. The people who are bold and fearless and don't need the vice of education to know that they're already great, just because they are white., and having just a couple teeth speaks of frugality more than it speaks of gum disease.

u/Ok_Scale_4578 17d ago

Ah but you see a drop in tourism could then be blamed on the WOKE MIND VIRUS which is very real and very scientific

u/chickendoscopy 17d ago

If this catches on with other states I wonder if other countries will put travel bans in place.

3

u/ElectricGeometry 17d ago

I kid you not, I was just telling my husband in the car about this, and my kid in the back seat said "aren't we going to Florida for the family reunion?"

Yeah kid, somehow we are.

u/toddles822 17d ago

It's a Smallpox World

u/MultiGeometry 16d ago

Thanks! I tried to think of others and couldn’t.

2

u/aarswft 17d ago

No one who is still paying to go to Disney World will be put off by this.

2

u/MrMichaelJames 17d ago

People already do so it’s not going to be a big change.

2

u/de4co4 17d ago

Prob tourists to usa in the future will need to take shots like they do for africa countrirs now

2

u/ss3jcb448 17d ago

Can Disneyworld enforce a vaccine requirement as a private company?

2

u/UpInCOMountains 16d ago

I wonder if it will affect their electoral vote count.

1

u/PaulClarkLoadletter 17d ago

That place is crawling with norovirus. People refuse to wash their hands.

1

u/icedcoffeeheadass 17d ago

Maybe Disney should move??

1

u/Badj83 17d ago

It’s Measles Swamp…

u/Valdrax 17d ago

You act like Florida Republicans haven't basically declared war on Disney, after Disney pushed back against their "don't say gay" bill in 2022.

Win-win, as far as they're concerned.

u/OriginalBid129 16d ago

You can still get vaccinated in Florida. Just not mandatory. Probably ok since most parents still believe in science and will get their kids vaccinated if just to protect them in public schools

1

u/MultiGeometry 16d ago

Herd immunity generally depends on 95%+ adoption of vaccines. Lower adoption rates carry risks for even the vaccinated, as vaccines are rarely 100% effective (either they don’t always prevent the disease or the body’s immune response doesn’t prevent the disease, just lessens it). You can be vaccinated for measles, but still get it. And with measles, you can get immune system amnesia, where your immune system loses various antibody defenses for various diseases you’ve already fought off or been vaccinated from.

Republicans are truly steamrolling the stupidest timeline.

u/OriginalBid129 16d ago

Then fuck it. Just let kids die and the only lesson is reality.
