They should rename the place "The World's Sickest Place"

[TubaGeek]

If you honestly think they would call Disney "The World's Sickest Place", you're nuts.

They'd have to go with " The Sickest Place on Earth". You know, go with the preexisting setup.

Stop telling people you got a cold at WDW. If Disney finds out that guests are getting something for free they will find a way to charge for it.

I booked my stomach flu 180 days out but luckily I was able to change it to food poisoning using the mobile app..

 

[Hockey89]

I don't think they be meaning to.

You went to Disney World. Did you expect everyone there to be cold-free? I hate to tell you this, but there were likely just as many adults running around with a cold as children. (or as you so eloquently put it.... "disease bags")

Acutally, that is 100% false....Kids are walking germs... Disease bags are pretty accurate...

 

[Plowboy]

Were these disease bags themed to specific locations, or just a generic Mickey design?

There, now you've done it. You've given out TDO's latest idea for an attraction...

Of all the bodily fluids I've exposed myself to, Disney is the least of my worries.

And I always smear the Pooh honey touchscreen. Two handed. All the way down to kid level. Back up again. A few zig zags. Let the honey flow over my hand. Write my name in honey...

I tend to catch colds pretty easily so I stock up on Emergen-C or Airborn before I travel, especially to crowded places like Disney.

Sometimes you just look at what people do in the queue and it makes you never want to touch a handrail again.

Actually that is 100% accurate. What? You think you're germ free? Can I have a little bit of that Kool Aid?

frozen tissues, frozen cough syrup, frozen thermometers, etc

 

[mf1972]

reading some of these posts sounds like it could be used for a new & updated body wars attraction

While I hate to defend someone that is acting kind of, shall we say "jerkish", the statement is fairly correct.

While no one is germ free, kids do tend to carry more than adults. This is due to the simply fact that they are kids and don't think about hygiene. They touch everything, typically don't wash their hands without threats of bodily harm, etc.

So the OP is now a disease bag? I assume they will now quarantine themselves in a sealed room for the next...hmmm...lets say 3 weeks. Good luck Disease Bag!

Pretty sure I caught crabs off Minnie once.

That was likely Ariel. I've heard a lot about her having crabs.

I get what you're saying, but the same can be said for many adults as well. Everybody carries germs inside the body. Yes, children may carry more germs on their hands because they don't wash their hands as much, but as I said there are a lot of adults to do the exact same thing. Do you have any idea how many adults I watch go to the restroom and then just walk out the door? I don't think it's fair at all to say that children are germ carriers and adults are not. For example, my "disease bags" wash their hands every time they turn around. They wash their hands a lot. To be quite honest how does the OP know they didn't catch that from an adult? Have you watched adults at Disney? They wipe their noses with their hands, scratching their rear ends, going to the bathroom and not washing their hands afterward, etc. It's truly a wonder that a pandemic hasn't broken out at Disney World yet.

Individual results will always vary, but as a whole kids will carry more germs than adults. That is just the way it is.

That is the only aspect of this conversation I am commenting on.

Frozen laxatives... You know, so you can let it go.

What good would a frozen thermometer be lol

Aw, c'mon man. You know there is no such thing as location specific merch. All disease bags are generic and look like every other disease bag.

Frozen thermometer would never register a fever so, QED, nobody is sick. Lol.

Agreed.

The poor rats and fleas got blamed for spreading bubonic plague in the Dark Ages. I'm pretty sure it was probably really kids

 

[BuzzKillington]

I seriously doubt they were all colds but rather symptoms of the changes in the weather/temperature. Oh, and those "disease bags" are going to get stuck paying the $18T debt that we all have been having a grand time charging up and probably will never be able to visit Disney.

I'll take "What does one thing have to do with the other?" for $300, Alex.

You mean like showing a little empathy and respect towards those who will be paying dearly tomorrow for our spending today?

This thread is as worthless as the discussions where people rant about kids being too loud in Disney restaurants. DING! DING! DING! We are in Disney folks where anyone over the age of 12 is a second class citizen!! If you don’t like the annoyances that come with kids, then go somewhere else on vacation.

Do you read what you write before hitting reply, or just winging it?
