Disney World is a place where people from all over the world gather to experience the Most Magical Place On Earth- and as we know, it’s easy to pick up germs in such a crowded area. With Coronavirus being at the forefront of our minds lately and the news that cases are being reported now in Florida, many have asked “But what about my Disney trip?”
In a statement to People, a Disney spokesperson says “We know there is new information this week about Coronavirus in Florida. We have very stringent sanitation procedures in place at Walt Disney World Resort. We are in close contact with health agencies for information and guidance, and at this time, we are continuing to communicate to our Cast the importance of preventative measures such as frequent handwashing and rigorous cleaning processes. For guest convenience, we have placed additional hand sanitizers throughout our parks and resorts and will adjust our protocols as the situation warrants.”
In the meantime, please remember to wash your hands, make use of the hand sanitizer stations around the park (and carry your own), and don’t lick poles. I’m looking at you, my own kid. She gets it from her Dad, you guys.
As always, if you have concerns about how Coronavirus or any illness could affect you and your family, please talk to your doctor so you can make the most informed decision!
