I wouldn't be any more concerned to go to WDW than anywhere else.
There was a case in Florida with a doctor who had just returned from the Middle East, but as yet there is no indication that it spread further. Also, authorities were very clear that the doctor hadn't gone anywhere near any Orlando theme parks.
I say go to WDW, take the usual precautions we all do to avoid illness (e.g., wash/sanitize your hands before eating and frequently throughout the day, don't put your fingers in your mouth or eyes, etc.) and enjoy your trip.

I say be mindful and take proper precautions and then have fun. If we all stayed home and cancelled our plans around the risk of catching the latest disease, we might as well stay home out of fear of a car accident.
I arrive on June 1 as well and will not be worried about this beyond ensuring that we are being reasonably proactive.

Glad to know that. Heard this morning on the radio about the new case in Orlando, but they didn't give any other details - our trip is in 9 days.

husband had a meeting at work today regarding MERS, no red flags, as of yet, be vigilant and carry sanitizing wipes. If I find out anything else, I will be sure to share. (Husband works for Homeland Security)
