In regards to the tri-state 14 day quarantine

[PurpleMan]

Just jumping on here with the latest news update I just read...the mandatory two week quarantine for tri-state area residents has been extended until 9/5...if anyone is still planning on going down to Disney World before then.

Thank god because I was thinking of going down the week of 9/11.

Thanks for the update! I can’t find that anywhere. Can you post a link? We live in MA, but fly out of CT. The cases here have gone way down, so if it’s been extended that feels political, rather than medically reasonable. Our trip Isn’t until December, but it’s something to keep an eye on.

You must be referring to Bradley International. I live in central CT and use the same airport.

I still don’t know how they can track/verify if someone has stayed in for 14 days

Realistically they can't. They're just hoping people will abide by the rules.

Yep. It’s cheaper and easier and closer than Logan. We’re straight up 91, so it’s an easy drive down.

We got our welcome email from the general manager of BLT yesterday for our upcoming trip and we're from NY. We plan on going.

How do you plan on getting there with the quarantine order in place?

Fly down like everyone else around me who has gone down since the quarantine and enjoyed a vacation in Florida with no issues.

Flights from the tri states never stopped during the pandemic even when their numbers were high. You could also drive into FL this entire time.

Wait, so there isn't a quarantine? Or just those who don't follow the guidelines? Or both?

The problem with the 14 day quarantine is the return from Florids. My wife works for a company that is dependent on government contracts. Therefore if we go in August she will have to take 2 weeks off in addition to her vacation. Regrettably, it means we have to cancel in August and hope September will work out.

The quarantine right now, if following mandates, for a weeks vacation from the northeast should take 5 weeks. 2 weeks in Florida when arriving, 1 week vacation, then 2 weeks when you get back home.
To answer your question, there is a quarantine and those that don’t follow guidelines.

I can’t speak for others - for why they traveled or how throughout this mess.
I’m coming from an area that has been 1% or under for awhile now. If anything, people think we’re nuts to fly into the center of the storm.

We're considering hopping freight trains.... at 68

So, you’ve made the decision that this doesn’t include you. Got it.

Some require 2 week quarantine not just time off upon return and some forbid travel entirely

My husband had to get a test for a simple procedure.
We have proof we don't have anything.
We will bring the document with us should anyone ask.
And we'll have a magical time.
Thanks!

Hey all question. I'm from Connecticut, but my family has been quarantining on cape cod in Massachusetts. They are going to disney via Logan airport they are worried about the tristate quarantine order since their licences say Connecticut. They are saving Massachusetts receipts to show they have been on cape cod for the last two months. Will they be allowed to go to disney they are extremely nervous. What should they expect at the airport?

I don't know what to tell you for sure what Disney will do. From reading different forums and groups on FB it appears Disney is not even questioning or asking for any kind of proof you quarantined. But again this is all hearsay on the internet these claims could be true or false. With WDW encouraging guests to use the online check in, your not even seeing a CM unless you choose to visit the front desk so I'm not really sure how they would go about enforcing anyway. Also if they required proof I would imagine it would of been stated on their Know before you go web page. When is their trip scheduled?

Then you still have a little time to decide and maybe watch how things play out in Disney? That is what we are doing right now our trip is set for August as well. Our plan for now is to watch the numbers in FL, keep an eye on that EO if there is any changes and then once we are closer to our dates decide.

COVID restrictions often make little sense.
They are politically motivated, and rarely do they bother giving you reasons.

Reading the news lately the Tri-State area is not the hot spot, COVID is under-control, but Florida is a hotspot.
So stop people with Florida plates from going into the Tri-State area.

I am kinda in the same situation. I live in PA but would fly out of upstate NY.

You both will be fine with your specific circumstances. The quarantine rule applies to people who are from NY, NJ and CT, and NOT to people who happen to merely travel through those states. Think of it this way. If you live in Vermont and drive through NY on your way to WDW, you certainly wouldn’t be subject to the quarantine rule.
