Yea,

Assuming the article is accurate, this guy definitely made a bonehead move. Yes the covid nonsense is nonsense, but you aren’t going to get them to break policy for you and arguing with the manager and or staff isn’t going to change a corporates policy.

He certainly can refuse to have his temperature taken, and they can refuse him service. May not like it, believe it to be nonsense myself, but that’s how it is.

Whether it should be or not is another discussion.. but fact is that is how it is right now.

“They just mandate progressive pricing, like Medicare: you pay more if you make more.”

Anyone who’s applied for ‘financial aid’ for their kids’ college gets a real taste of ‘progressive pricing’, if they ever consider that the ‘net tuition’ they’ll be paying is based on income.

I wonder if he knew he had a fever, in which case it was bad luck but not Disney world’s fault.

$15k to do Disney and then balking on a temp check. If you are that much of a mark, you need to take it and like it.

I empathize, but he’s doing it wrong.

“15K on Disney? Why? How?”

Well, Disney did raise ticket prices recently.

I’m 30 minutes from NYC and haven’t been there in 20 years.

If a business has a requirement, either comply or don’t go.

i thought Florida finally lifted its oppressive dictatorial bullsheit “regulations”

hopefully this Nazi style incident is a fluke and ... hopefully a good lawyer will help this fellow sue the indivuduals who did this to him

in order to help stop future such incidents, those guility must be made to pay

“I haven’t seen the inside of a Disney park since 1990....But $15K seems like more...”

I was there four years ago and went through $10K for a week and that was before airfare to get my family to the Grand Floridian.

I can see $15K, easily.

Disney makes it very clear on its site and in its parks that you must wear a mask and agree to a temperature check to enter. Don’t like it? Don’t go. It’s not a necessity. You don’t have to support businesses you disagree with.

It does sound like a bone-headed move that will cost him a lot of money for no good reason at all. His lawyer and other legal fees are now sure to match and even exceed the $15,000 he spent on the trip.

Now I'm not one of those worried by the COVID virus. I prefer not to wear a mask and only (grudingly) wear one when required in a public area. I have not taken the vaccine and don't plan to unless it is absolutely required to make a living or travel about (hope it doesn't come down to that).

But I have no problem having my temperature taken if it makes the Karens of the world feel okay. I'm pretty healthy and if I did have a fever, why I'd appreciate knowing about it.

This guy appears to have cost himself and his family a lot of needless money and aggravation.

15K on Disney? Why? How?

My guess is some serious hotel or condo rental digs. You can blow big bucks on high end rentals during peak snowbird season.
