In a Facebook post earlier this month. She was angry about Millennials making Disney World &#8220;extra frustrating&#8221; for her. The post used some very strong language and sparked a debate online with many people, childless or not. Most were running to the defense of these so-called &#8220;immature&#8221; Millennials without kids. The woman claimed they were sucking all of the fun out of Disney World for parents and kids. She wrote, &#8220;&#8221;They have NO idea the JOY and HAPPINESS it is to MOTHER WHO BUYS THEIR BABIES TREATS AND TOYS!!!! THEY WILL NEVER EXPERIENCE THE EXHAUSTION THAT IT IS TO CHASE A 3 YEAR OLD AROUND AND GETTING STARES AT ASSUMING IM A BAD MOTHER!!!!\u201d Read more at the article below from <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelandleisure.com\/trip-ideas\/disney-vacations\/mom-facebook-rant-against-childless-millennials-visiting-disney-world-as-adults\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Travel + Leisure<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Source:\u00a0<\/strong>https:\/\/www.travelandleisure.com\/trip-ideas\/disney-vacations\/mom-facebook-rant-against-childless-millennials-visiting-disney-world-as-adults<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>What you need to know about the Zika virus and travel<\/h3>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2019\/07\/02\/travel\/traveling-zika-virus-symptoms.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Zika<\/a> virus made headlines in 2016 and led many to cancel trips to Latin America and the Caribbean. However, just as quickly as it took over the news, it seemed to disappear from headlines. The World Health Organization updated their report on the virus today. They cited it in 87 countries including Brazil, China, India and Egypt. \u201cThe good news is that we haven\u2019t been hearing about Zika because transmission has been low,\u201d said Dr. Eve Lackritz, who leads the Zika Task Force at W.H.O. \u201cTransmission dropped dramatically through 2017 and 2018, but when we have an end of an epidemic we don\u2019t stop our work.\u201d For more details, head to the article linked below.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Source: <\/strong>https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2019\/07\/02\/travel\/traveling-zika-virus-symptoms.html<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>For more travel news updates and stories, follow us on Instagram at @<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/enchantedtravel_\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">enchantedtravel_<\/a> and on Facebook: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/enchantedtravelomaha\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Click Here<\/a>.
