Maybe your employer has offices there.

Maybe you have relatives there.

Maybe you have clients there.

Or conferences, or other professional events.

Maybe you are even resident there.

Whether Disney World is worth paying for with your dignity and privacy is a decision each person must make. Further, Disney now harvest biometrics for their ticketing. Noooooooope.

Disney has an opt-out process for the fingerprint scan. (I'm not saying that to excuse their default stance, which I do find uncomfortable.)

Even the Museum of Natural History in New York is a good attraction. There is no need to consider the US horrid or anything alike based on the ridiculous border policy.
