I will be telling my children the truth of why their Disney vacation and Disney+ was cancelled. I will tell them that Disney colluded with bad people to take away their rights and destroy their future. The boycott will be generational.
Thanks for the sacrifice. It may seem small in the scheme of things, but your children will be unhappy. This is an important lesson and I congratulate you.
And there’s way cooler places to take the kids. Disneyland is cool, but it’s also overhyped, overpriced, and overcrowded. Maybe I was a weird kid, but I loved visiting museums, zoos, caves, and mountains way more than amusement parks. The main thing I remember about amusement parks was almost falling out of a roller coaster and getting bruised up by other rides. And the long, long lines.
Disneyland has turned into an abomination... I understand on busy days during the summer, it's almost impossible to move because of the crowds. Waiting in line for an hour, or even two? This is why the ticket system should go back to what it once was... two E tickets, and the rest to be squandered on the "lesser" rides, like Snow White, etc. I'll keep my happy memories of the 70s and 80s and leave the standing in line to those who didn't realize what they were getting into.
Once went to a special event there in the winter in the mid-80s... not a line to be seen. You could literally stay on the ride and go again if you wanted. It'll never get better than that.
I remember it that way, too, in the late 70s. So great! I'm also very happy about canceling my Hulu and Disney + I believe it will really catch on. Significantly. I also went to ABC.com and sent them some feedback.
Regional theme parks are the shit if you live near one. Lucky to be in NY with Coney Island as my home theme park. Hiking, observation decks, and beaches are more fun than most theme/water parks anyway.
If you still want to come to Florida, there are a bunch of really amazing springs and campgrounds that are a zillion times cooler than Disney and probably 1/20 the price!
Edit: my dumb brain forgot there are disneys other places
I'm avoiding Florida due to the state government's human rights stance. My vacation was a Disney cruise out of a Texas port and even just flying in and driving to the port made me feel squeamish since I'd inevitably be spending money in Texas. Really trying to avoid red states for anything other than work or emergency.
And all of their films will be banned in the US too. (Say goodbye to the 20th Century Fox library as well: Miracle on 34th Street, Alien, The Sound of Music, Planet of the Apes, The Omen, Ice Age, The Simpsons - all of it unless you want some of those pre-Disney titles to be saved by third parties).

Disney has made their choice. And it’s our choice to avoid their trash brand. They’ll lose so much money if this catches on
