Do we know if there'll be a cost for this? Thank you.

3 to 5 business days is not all that helpful? How many months have we had to get testing ramped up??

By my count...it will take at least 3-5 more...minimum

It is free.

It is free.

OMG! Just about the only thing on WDW property that's free! Expect huge crowds!

The US has performed six times more tests than the second place country which is India.

Thats great but wasn't at all what I'm referring to.

WDW has the ability to do tests on their CM's and chose not to. The arguments of it not being feisible were proven false when Formula 1 managed to set up a full testing system whilst traveling around the world, testing thousands of people regularly and creating 'bubbles' within departments and teams to ensure reduced chances of transmission.

In comparison a simple daily test of staff on arrival is easy. On top of that the excuse of waiting days for a result is an embarrassment.

I'll leave it there - far too many discussions on this as it is.

Given our infection rate, not nearly enough per capita.

There are logistical issues obtaining tests in the US. It probably wasn't feasible for Disney given those issues. Formula one is an international organization and has access to different resources.

I agree with you in regards to WDW and their testing.

Getting a test is "easy". Getting a result is hard - impractically so.

It is free.

Thank you.

Just what we dont need more testing. People need to stop getting tested so this stupidity can end. I am so sick of idiots running and getting tested.

So you’re saying the virus will go away if we just stop worrying about it?

Those who are actually sick must really burn you up then....

I'm still scratching my head. Do performers get the test and then wait a week before going on stage?

Wish i could do that in central FL

We need to focus on real issues like teenagers being asked to step a few feet away from their parents at Walt Disney World.

Make sure you bring your towel.

I can't agree with your fantasy world reality.

I‘ll just assume this was a joke post or written after consuming copious amounts of alcohol.

Central Floridian here! When you donate via One Blood, the antibody test results are sent to you in 48 hours. And yes, mine was negative!
