Would you feel comfortable going if Covid has declined but is still circulating? I wonder what, if any, permanent changes they make.
I feel comfortable doing anything with a virus circulating that has more than a 99% survival rate if you are under 70 and get it. Bring it on.

"i would never have imagined in a million years that I would have gotten this virus the way that I did."

A healthy 30-year-old man went to a crowded bar. He ended up in a hospital on a breathing tube:

LOL, he was just a tiiiiiny bit paranoid, especially since that resort is nowhere near the heart of Orlando.

Huh? The resort is in Orlando. Disney's Polynesian Village Resort at the Magic Kingdom, 1600 Seven Seas Drive, Orlando, FL 32830.

I meant the heart of Orlando (I went back and fixed my typo). Disney's FL resorts are all way out on the outskirts of the city - hardly a risk for the violent protest activity.

Disney World is at least a 30 minute drive to Downtown Orlando.

It’s way off by itself though, it is not near downtown Orlando, which is where the protests were. Orlando covers a very large area. That’s what the poster meant by the “heart” of Orlando, downtown Orlando.

Your focus in the first half of this thread was on Disney World.
This was your response to me saying Disney World was in the process of reopening.

"Disney Theme Parks" have not remained closed all of 2020. Disney Land is not all of the parks, and Disney World is fully operational.

There are some real die-hard Disney fans out there.

It’s been 214 days since Disneyland closed. For these superfans, it’s agony:
