Hi all,
First post on here and I'm looking for a bit of insight. I'm in the UK and have not been over to the US for a decade or so as a teenager, I was planning on taking my partner over to do some of the theme parks in Florida and maybe a trip to New York at some point this year. I'm really looking forward to it, I have some great memories of the parks (particularly the Marvel Universe at Islands of Adventure!) and it looks like there's been some really great new additions (although I was gutted to just read Dueling Dragons and Jaws have gone, nearly had a heart attack reading the title of the thread about the Mummy but glad to see it's safe!).
With covid, obviously that's been disrupted and I'm sure certain things have changed potentially forever. My feeling is that I don't really want to be embarking on this type of international travel until the vaccination programme has sufficiently fought back the progress of the virus. I'm aware any sort of move to book anything carries huge risk but am trying to get a feel for how things are going and maybe formulate some sort of a plan to make a move on flights.
The good news is here in Scotland and the rest of the UK, we're seeing decent progress with priority groups and indications that the bulk of the population could be vaccinated by around August. From searching information on the US, I can't find a huge amount regarding timelines and from what I can find, it looks very varied state-to-state.
I'm curious, what's the outlook like in Florida on the ground? How close are vulnerable groups (over 70s and health conditions etc) to having their two doses? Do we anticipate that October will be normalish and the horror nights will run?
Cheers.
