Of course it wouldn't stop me. I'd really side eye anyone who would say it would. Saying that it would stop them would make me question their common sense and decision making skills. That. Plus one of my girls lives in Orlando and there is nothing that would keep this mama bear from visiting her cub. Plus plus, as a native New Yorker, it is my duty to tell terrorists and violent haters that they can go to hell (in several different languages) because they are not going to stop me from living my life.

We are going in December. I will not allow evil people to control my life and keep me from enjoying things like planning a vacation. When my time comes, God will take me, regardless of where I am. And I'm ok with that.

We were in Orlando this past weekend and spent part of the weekend discussing our future vacation plans which includes a trip to Universal and 2 big family vacations to Disney.

I'm still coming! Due there VERY soon. I refuse to let fear control my common sense.

Not for a long time. But I just spent the last week there and just got home last night. We left plenty of our tourist dollars behind though!
in all seriousness we were a lot more of our surroundings and kept things more low key last Sunday than we had initially planned. My dh's main concern wasn't once we were inside the parks but rather when we were in large groups like when we were waiting to go through security. And I think that will happen no matter where we go now. Orlando was the most recent, but pretty much wherever you have a large number of people is going to look like a potential target to someone looking to cause carnage, what ever their motivation is.

For sure. It isn't on my list anytime soon but I would still go if there was something we wanted to do or visit there.

I'm actually going to be in Orlando in 2 weeks at Disney and Universal. Do you have links that show Orlando as a possible target? Regardless of it being a target or not I will be there spending my tourism dollars! We are also still coming to the area very soon.

If I had a reason I wanted to go to Orlando I would go. What happened at the club could happen at any popular bar in any state. I probably won't be visiting Orlando simply because Florida isn't on my list of places I have a reason to want to visit. For beaches I'd rather hit the gulf of Mexico because it is much closer. Or go to Hawaii because it is familiar. I'm not a fan of disney or amusement parks in general so that isn't a draw for me. I can't think of a reason that draws me to Orlando.

We have a friend who is planning on retiring to Orlando in the next year or so. Recent events won't stop us from visiting.

We will go back. No immediate plans but I agree. We cannot stop living.

Regardless of it being a target or not I will be there spending my tourism dollars! We are also still coming to the area very soon. "Me three!" Yup, we'll be there in 3 weeks (both WDW & Universal). I live in the DC metro area (and have since before 9/11), so I've learned not to let the fear-mongers rule. Save
