Hand Sanitizer in the Parks

[JCAEdge21]

Just a general question/thought and I'm not sure if this has been brought up before... The last few times I've gone to WDW I've found myself wondering why there are no hand sanitizer dispensers throughout the park. Is there a reason for this? The only reason I could think of is maybe the cost associated with refilling the dispensers, but wouldn't it seem worth it to promote health awareness and help keep the guests clean/healthy?

At least something at the restaurants and food/beverage carts would be nice!

Cost, I'm sure. On the ships, it's in their best interest to keep everyone healthy. In the parks, not so much. You can sanitize your hands, but as soon as you grab a handrail, door handle, ride vehicle harness or lap bar...it's a moot point. Exercise in futility.

It would be really nice if they had them in the parks, but I'm assuming the maintenance would be out of control! I know when I worked in a hospital, those things were always breaking down and there weren't very many of us using them. I find it pretty easy to hook one of those little hand sanitizer holders onto my belt loop though. It's also worth noting that sanitizer is NOT a replacement for hand washing. I recently discovered that there are way too many people that don't know this and run out of the bathroom without washing with soap and water. Please don't be that person.

I've never been that person, but I've definitely seen that person! It would definitely be nice just to have them by the quick/counter service restaurants for a quick cleanse. One that comes to mind based on my last trip would be right outside of La Cantina (Mexico waterfront).
