Is this like a chocolate milkshake?

My first thought was that it's much better than a chocolate milk shake, but then I realized that they are similar.

A milkshake is generally ice cream and milk that are then whipped/mixed.

A smoothie usually has milk, ice cream and ice I think - tends to be thinner than most shakes.

But equally delicious.

I'll stick with an extra thick hot fudge milk shake from DQ.

I am trying to remember, I do know I was in Florida WDW and Universal, in August 2003 and the exchange rate was 1.34 to the £, and that is far lower than it has been recently.

We have had the same government in for ten plus years now, and things they inherited were rather stable, there was 'talk' of us joining the Euro and I think at that time it pulled us down.

We were far higher than the Euro then and if we joined we would have had to devalue,

On Vacations I agree, in both countries there will be a move to cheaper holidays, more local, so the folks of LA will go to Disneyland, the holidays will be less expensive ,and the big spending ones such as cruises will be cut down.

But its also supply and demand, if DCL had gone back to the West coast for summer 09, and did two more repos they would have sold out and at a higher level.

In any Economy there are winners and losers, and there are people unaffected, those who have paid off their homes for example,

The reason I'm wondering, is that if the dollar trends strong during recessions, the exchange rates might stay low for a while. Still, as you say - what about the debt? The U.S. has every reason to want the dollar to drop at this point - if only because exports have been the only good thing in the economy for a while, and those will get choked off at today's exchange rates.

I don't know if a return to the West Coast would have helped that much. I don't think they sold out last summer's cruises, and it would be worse this summer unless they cut prices. It's almost certainly cheaper to run cruises out of Florida - they don't have to pay for the extra infrastructure and staff.

I think the magnitude of recession coming will leave few completely uneffected. The very wealthy, sure. But even those who own their own homes are being impacted. Many are older/retired, and they face the double whammy of higher food costs and possibly a huge loss in retirement income (depending on how they were invested).
The loss in retirement funds/investments colors ones outlook, as does the uncertainty.
Families (Disney's core market) are hit on all sides - fear of losing their jobs, increased food costs, Increased college/education costs, reduced services (state budgets are being slashed), and drop in value of investments if they have any. I don't know anybody who isn't stressed.
