Thread: Florida

  1. #1

    Florida

    Bars & restaurants are open, and they are partying likes it's 1999, so it will be interesting to see if they start dropping like flies in 14 days time.

    They probably won't, especially if they're under 45

    Florida is the armpit of America, I imagine it makes for a good testing ground in terms of if a second spike would come to fruition.

    state rules say:
    25 % indoor capacity
    outdoor tables 6ft apart
    masks to be worn

    I was speaking to a friend ( long story how we became friends, i might bore you all with it one day ) of ours who works at disney a few nights ago, he said that Universal resorts city walk ( the entertainment /bar / club area ) are opening today ( or might have been yesterday ), he was amazed that the state are pushing ahead, but said that its been reported that universal are losing $10 million a day by being shut which is massive till you realise disney are losing over $35 mill a day by not being open you can see why the Orlando area are keen to reopen ASAP

    When i was about to buy a holiday home in the area, the sales agent said he could 95% guarantee Oct through April he could rent it on on a long term rent to snowbirds, that would cover all my annual costs, so then anything on top of that from weekly rentals would be profit, i had never heard of them before, a quick google and it made sense, move down from the cold and the snow for 6 months and live in the sun, it all made sense

    I had been helping someone plan a trip for 1/2 term, was going to be their 1st trip as well, disney have been great and moved the booking to Oct, airline have been crap and only issued a voucher, which in 6 months time could be worthless
    I have disney +, 50 quid for the year, from my point of view it has paid for itself, we have watched all the star wars films, ive been watching the occasional simpsons

    Because they’re not... I’m assuming some random posts have generated an over reaction on here (shocker).

    But apparently they're "partying like it's 1999". Where did that come from?

    Bars opened in Wisconsin. Because the state's Republican majority supreme court overruled the Democrat governor's lockdown. They partied like a bunch of fat losers in a bar. That's sure to end well.

    Bars aren't open in Florida then? And it isn't full on? And there aren't pictures on line showing this? Why would someone want to make this up....
