I've seen people at Disney who are obviously sick (this was in the past before COVID-19). They have no business being out. But it's usually because of money. It's hard to cancel a trip because someone has the flu.

However, with COVID-19, the fever even for minor cases can be 101, 102 which is pretty high. Even if you load up on tylenol and mucinex, you are still going to feel like crap. Plus you add in the Florida summer sun.... the only ride you will be on is in the ambulance if you try to wing it.

This makes me wonder if we will have to postpone our August trip indefinitely. Hopefully they will reimburse the tickets since the forms of temp checking they will do read 99 or higher at all times even in low outside temps for my 2 year old. They are unreliable on her. An ear check is a bit better but the only way she won't temp high at Disney is rectal. She will temp at 97 rectal but can be 100.8 temporal. So I don't want to pay when she will always be turned away when they are doing this. I really hope this isn't the case. My kids have so been looking forward to this trip.

Rectal temperature checks would at least likely keep the crowds low.

(I hope your trip works out!)

If they end up doing pre-checks at the parks there needs to be a quick refund for a ticket or some type credit/guest recovery. That would help to discourage guests from adopting the attitude of..... I bought my tickets so I'm going no matter what.

Plus what if a single child in a large group is singled out as a risk..what then ?

If you don't use your ticket already there is a credit option so that could be very possible.

Not surprising but also am sort of surprised they are doing this now when we don't know when the parks will reopen just yet.

Although I'm not sure she will ever outgrow this trait so hopefully they wouldn't make it a permanent policy.

Would you get the option to choose which prince/princess takes your temp?

i would let disney security do a rectal temp if it means less people in the parks

I can't imagine doing 12 hours in the heat with a face mask on, that sounds horrible, especially for kids.

I dont think they will ever become required but many may choose to wear them. As much as I love Disney I won’t be going if a mask is required.

All of this and the masks don’t fit children properly either. You’d have to have one custom made, which would probably be a cloth mask, which is going to get filthy. Are we supposed to now schedule in time at the laundromat while on vacation to wash our masks? Or buy one per each day of our trip?

Me neither. I hate masks.... I wore one to pick up groceries curbside yesterday and couldn’t wait to remove it. I don’t know how Asian people wear these regularly..... I guess I’m just a spoiled American!

It's funny to compare the difference in mentality. People here complaining about wearing a mask, how inconvenient they are, how awful it would be etc... And yet, people in Asia do it every single day, even when Covid wasn't an issue, and never bat an eye. We really are an extremely spoiled society.

 

[Aurora0427]

I wonder if what we are going through will change trip cancellation policies..... if it were easier to cancel airfare for a refund or travel funds, and there were minimal penalties for canceling hotel reservations last minute, would that keep sick people from going?

We totally are.... but to be fair I don’t see Asian people at Disneyland wearing masks in the summer when it’s 96 Anaheim. Because that’s miserable.

Ditto. That would definitely be a step too far for me, and would lead me to cancel.

Temperature checks I could live with - although I think they are pointless. We have been testing offshore workers before they go offshore to work on the rigs, but people are still coming down with the virus and have to be evacuated from the rig. Unfortunately one poor sole last week died after coming back onshore.

My personal preference is minimal checks - by now people have enough information to be able to assess what level of risk they are prepared to take. Nothing in this life is risk free. We have a common law principle in the UK called 'volenti non fit injuria' - which is latin for 'to a willing person, no injury is done'. It basically means that if someone willingly places themselves in a position where harm might result, knowing that some degree of harm might result, they are not able to bring a claim against the other party. I beleive there are similar principles in US law.
