Any one going to WDW/Florida this winter?

Have fun! Most people would do the same with such an opportunity.

I'm not sure "Most people" would sell out their convictions just for a free 2 weeks at Disney

Selling out would mean that most Canadians have the same convictions that you appear to have in not travelling to the U.S. However, the decrease in trips to the U.S. are not down anywhere near 50%. It is evident that most Canadians are still travelling to the U.S. It is reasonable to conclude that most would desire to visit their daughter over the holidays and take advantage of free Disney tickets. I think my prior statement reflects observed statistical behaviour by a majority of Canadians.

I do wonder if a majority of Canadians ceased U.S. vacationing there would be retaliation in kind. You would then have a situation of more Canadians travelling to Europe, Caribbean, etc. (no benefit to the Canadian economy), an uptick in local tourism from Canadians (obvious benefit) but a significant decline from U.S. tourism.

We will be going in March. We bought DVC for these years when our daughters are little, and they’re only little once.

For the 2nd time this year, I'm being a hypocrite and taking a two week vacation at Disney World, while at the same time supporting a boycott of both US products and US vacations (my oldest daughter is currently working at the Epcot Canadian pavilion, and can get us into the parks for free for 13 days starting tomorrow).

I'm currently sitting in the Denver airport, 1/3 of the way through a 7 hour layover. Below is a photo of me and one of my buddies, taken this morning just past US Customs at the Edmonton airport.

Do you have any current tourism-related stats? Do you feel like what is being reported in Canada is an accurate reflection now you are in Florida?
