Would you travel to America this year?

Would you go to Disney world Orlando this year? We were considering booking for us and our 2 children, was meant to book it tonight.
I’m really unsure with the current condition of the world right now.
what would you do?

No. Too many scary things happening in the US at the moment.

Absolutely not.

And not because of the emerging issues in the ME, either.

I genuinely believe the rest of the World should be holidaying elsewhere until the current administration is replaced.

I hate the man the American public voted in. The blatant unrestrained corruption and insulting approach to all issues. The massive loopholes in their constitution all I see is stupidity.
It will be a cold day in hell before I step foot over the border.

No, absolutely not.

While you're there, watch yourself a bit of Fox News and see what they are telling America about the UK.

Then you'll really know what scaremongering looks like!

If OP is lucky she might bump into Truss in Florida. The lettuce has been seen in Mar-a-lago.

No. Ethically, I couldn't be at ease with that.

I'd only go back when Trump is just a bad memory, and not before.

Yes. I was there a few weeks ago and will be going again in a few months.

Yes I’m going in about three weeks. I grew up there and my sisters and niece are there and we will be visiting them. It’s a major city but I’m not worried I’m going to be shot. I do not support Trump but I’m not going to let him stop seeing my family. Life continues.
However I have been to Disney World and not sure it’s worth it, and Florida is not anything to write home about. Some people love it though.

But on the flip side, a lot of Americans who would traditionally go abroad are now holidaying domestically. Rentals in the Jersey Shore, as an example of somewhere that had a lot of Canadian tourism, are flying.

No, not going to the US for the foreseeable.

Are you British? If so, read this:

I live 20 km from the USA and won't go there. I don't know anyone that does. Referring to us as the 51st state. Charging tariffs just to punish us for no reason. Jackass! Why would anyone want to go to the USA?

No. Not until this regime is over

It is a difficult one. For personal political reasons of course the sensible person would not go. But your kids are only young once and it is a magical experience and why should they suffer because of the leadership of the country. That is what you need to weigh up. As others have said if you are going to the Florida parks it is pretty safe.

They are not as each individual adds up. Tourism is down and that’s less outside money funding the wannabe dictator

No. I have close family living there and would love to visit them, but will not go while you know who is in charge. Thankfully my family is coming to Europe for a visit in the summer so will be able to see them then, in France or here in the uk depending on their plans.

It's not all about scaremongering though is it.

Many on this thread and myself included would not go to the US on the basis of not giving tourism money as someone upthread called it to the country while Trump is in power.

I used to go every year, I will not go back until he is gone.

This.

I wouldn't choose to travel there right now, out of principle, not for reasons of personal safely. Definitely not for a holiday you could have elsewhere . Couldn't you go to Disneyland Paris or Tokyo instead? Or the other European theme park everyone raves about on here?
However I do have a very elderly relative in the US who I feel pretty sad at the prospect of never seeing again, so I might review my principles in time.

No, I wouldn’t. Not because I’d feel unsafe particularly (I’m white) but because I shouldn’t have to think “I’ll go, I’m safe, I’m white. “ With no US vote I can only vote with my feet and my wallet, and I will not support any part of Trump’s presidency.

Its not scaremongering. Its about having principles.

Have you stopped using all US products?

I don't use many as rarely eat USFs. I did stop using amazon though. I have done several.boycotts before (South Africa the first).
I also avoid countries with terrible human rights and dictators. Many other places to go.

No. And I’ve been trying to avoid buying American for over a year now. Not easy!

Yes but there's no way I would be going to Disney!
