Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

[KrzyKtty]

We just need to get kids vaccinated. I have a 6 mo old that just got tested and he’s in rough shape. Once kids can get vaccinated, it should be easier to move on from restrictions

I am sorry to hear that. Hope you little trooper gets well soon!

I wonder though if more people are in situations where they need to provide periodic test results. It might be that, as opposed to more people thinking they are actually infected. Maybe?

2-3 weeks ago, most of our tests being administered were for travel. Now, we are seeing more symptomatic tests than travel. (at least where I am)

Would not surprise me if the big three if follow the language from California where they strongly recommend but do not take action against those who don’t wear masks and rely on individuals to make their own risk assessment.

Doesn’t please everyone but doesn’t tick everyone off as well.

Do you mean that he's in "rough shape" because the test is unpleasant, especially for a little one, or do you mean that he does actually have covid? So sorry that he's sick and had to have an unpleasant test

I thought the borders would be fully open by September at the latest, with a good chance for August given Canada's vaccination process.

Now I just don't know.

Who knew more people wouldn't be tripping over themselves to get vaccinated and end one of the worst periods in our recent collective history...

Well .. Canada is opening the land borders for the US in early August, same is not the case in return. I need my trader Joes frozen Pretzels.. how is German guy expected to survive without Pretzels?

Same with Germany, my sister is supposed to fly in from Germany for the Sep/Oct trip. US citizens are allowed to travel to Europe for months now...NOT the case for Europeans in return. *sigh*

I'll be pretty surprised if WDW goes back to masks indoors before Disneyland does.

Thanks for the kind words and yeah, he’s pretty sick

That is basically the current rule. Masks are still required today for unvaccinated people indoors at WDW but they are not enforcing that rule by checking for vaccination status.

Thinking about you and your little one.

They will probably both go at the same time. The state of CA is now recommending all people wear masks indoors in the whole state so that would include DLR.

@GoofGoof how is NJ is doing with CDC as they won't have indoor masks mandate soon anymore?

Disney has always followed very closely to CDC. The CDC says strongly recommend, then Disney will do the same. It could be as simple as a sign or an announcement.

You could just look it up on the CDC website? Do you need a link?

I feel sad for him, and for you. It's so hard to watch your child suffer. Sending best wishes to you both.

Sure!

In fairness the land border is a partial opening. A COVID test is still required, so this will more likely mean things like separated families will have extended visits, but casual day trips are still not likely.

Something about a gerbil …

 

[KrzyKtty]

Sure!

Things are different in Florida and that would be exactly the same as it is now. Florida is literally drowning in covid.
