He said he spent $15,000 on a Disney World trip. He refused a temperature check and got arrested. [View all]
I am a fan of Walt Disney World. I have been a number of times and for example my son and I were there during Hurricane Harvey (the storm was a tropical storm when we left and by the time we had gotten back to the room that night it was too late to fly back). It was not a fun trip.
You can spend a great deal on a trip if you go during peak seasons. Right now, it is spring break time and the room rates are high. I am going in early May have a very good rate. This idiot did not spend $15,000 on this trip and it was clear that this idiot did not read the materials on the rules being imposed by WDW

Kelly Sills paid a small fortune for an enchanting trip to “the most magical place on Earth.”
Instead, the Baton Rouge resident — like several other Disney World guests who have defied coronavirus restrictions — visited Orange County Jail.
Amid heightened precautions for the virus at the major Florida tourist attraction, Sills, 47, skipped the temperature screening required of guests, authorities said. He was confronted by security about it at a Disney Springs restaurant, the Boathouse, when he yelled and refused to leave, according to an Orange County Sheriff’s Office arrest report from Feb. 13. When deputies insisted he would be charged with trespassing, he pointed to how much he spent on his vacation, according to body camera footage released this week.....
The confrontations at Disney World come as other parts of Florida have had to ramp up enforcement when rowdy tourists flocked to the state that Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) has promoted as less restrictive. While spring break revelers descended on South Florida, DeSantis praised how busy the area was compared to cities in other states with stricter covid-19 guidelines, such as New York City. He has touted the state’s distribution of vaccines and argued it is safe to visit.

I get my temperature taken at each doctor's visit. I know the rules at Disney and I have no trouble wearing a mask. I will be wearing my CDC vaccination card on a lanyard
If you are an idiot trump supporter, please stay away from Walt Disney World. There are rules and stupid trump suppoters will get no special privileges
