Canadians Traveling to the USA in 2025

Free tickets are worth the increase in flights. You can try on the boards here about renting a dvc,,but this late prob no availabilty,,and cost more than allstars

During our August, 2025 trip, our younger daughter, who was working at Hollywood Studios for the summer, was able to book hotel rooms for 50% off a couple of weeks before the start of our vacation. I imagine Christmas at Disney World will be packed, but if the international boycott continues and fewer Americans than usual visit the parks, I'm thinking that my Epcot daughter may be able to snag a last minute hotel discount at either Yacht, Beach, or Boardwalk, none of which we have stayed at before. Unlikely, of course, but I also thought that getting a hotel discount in August was unlikely.

Quebec was trying to seperate and become an territory of France in a way...but the logistics when relised was over the top,,plus they wouldnt be getting near the benefits they get being part of Canada.

I remember reading, at the time, that a majority of the Quebecois who voted for separation thought that, after separation, Quebec would continue to receive equilization payments from the rest of Canada. Good luck making THAT happen...

I'm looking at airfares now for a trip during the latter half of December. I've mentioned before that my oldest daughter, who is working at Epcot, can get us into the parks for free for 16 days in 2025. So, to take full advantage of the free days, we should ideally fly Edmonton to Orlando on Dec 15 (around $230 one way). Unfortunately, our younger daughter has university finals, so we probably won't fly until Dec 18 ($580 one way). I doubt our Epcot daughter can get us a hotel discount during the Christmas season, and the best rate I can find now is All Star Music for $260/night plus tax.

It appears I'll be paying a lot for airfare and hotel, but the free park days lessens the pain. Besides, being at Disney World for Christmas will be a new experience for us and one I'm looking forward to.

We will likely do another 16 day trip in May, 2026 (more free park days), but I've pretty well reconciled myself to the likelihood that these will be our last Disney trips during That Man's presidency, and perhaps my last trips ever. During That Man's bizarre speech to the generals and admirals on September 30th, he just couldn't resist making more offensive comments about Canada becoming the 51st state.

Even if That Man is removed from office on medical grounds, I don't think the situation will improve. VP Vance has ideas that are just as crazy as That Man's ideas and, unfortunately, Vance is apparently quite intelligent. If anything, Vance could be even worse, if such a thing is possible. I don't see the situation getting any better until at least the 2028 election and, even then, we will have to live with the knowledge that there are 70 million Americans voters who supported That Man.

I'm surprised they don't have blackout dates for those free tickets. Christmas at Disney is truly magical. Hope you have the best time! If you are able, stay for NYE. The fireworks are amazing and the overall vibe is great, but it is PACKED!

Do we really need this kind of BS on these Disney boards? Anti-US seems to be tolerated by moderators and now it’s descended into divisive Canadian politics

And back to talk about Disney and travelling to the US.

@Reepicheep that is definitely November in Ottawa. My brightest memory of November 11 is opening the front door and listening to the 21 gun salute. The stairs in front of me were crusted in icy snow. We don't get the snow generally, these days, until early December. Which is why I am happily escaping the greys of November to the sunshine of Florida this year.

There isn’t much DVC available at the moment for December; best option would probably be finding a confirmed reservation or two to string together either on this site or a known rental site (David’s DVC Rental is from London, ON! There is also US based DVC Rental Store). Old Key West or Saratoga Springs have the most availability.
