I went in between two cycles of chemo and survived (both the Cancer and Disney germs). No mask, no wheelchair, no special treatment - I didn't move very fast, but it made me feel like a normal person instead of a human pincushion. I had such a great time, I've been back every year since.
Post-chemo trip number 8 coming up this Aug.
congratulations!

I don't think I supported the use of Purell in my post, but rather indicated that no matter how much people use Purell, there are germs no matter where you go.

Dear Mouth Breather....
A rolled of wad of clean toilet tissue can accomplish the same thing....which is to not touch the seat with your hands.

Sure, but that would seem to be considerate of the next person. I think that there is a rule against that in a theme park.
Speaking of an unsanitary issue.. I can't imagine how those cast members are so energetic in those hot, sweaty, stinky costumes.. Are the heads ever washed?

I'm not at all germaphobic but there is one attraction that bothers me that way. Spaceship Earth. The queue line goes uphill which almost forces you to use the metal hand rails. Whenever I'm going up that hill, I can't help but think about how many snot-bubbly (is that a word?) kids hands and how many other nasty paws have clung to those rails. So when I get almost inside the attraction, out comes my little bottle of hand sanitizor. I'm not sure if it really helps, but it does give me a little peace of mind.
I've never worried about toilet seat sanitation and with the exception of a lifelong case of worms, it has never caused me any problems that I know of.

Not old, just vintage.
Ditto. My doctor did prescribe me a new ointment that seems to be helping with the worms. I'll send you the name of it.
Honestly though, I rarely think about germs. I wash my hands and avoid hand sanitizer at all costs. I don't get sick often. My immune system is clearly able to handle most of what I throw at it.

At night all bathrooms are cleaned top to bottom with a disinfectant cleaner. The cleaner sits for around 10 minutes before it is hosed off so I'm told. Everything from the sinks to the toilets to the urinals is hosed down with the cleaner. Additionally every surface that is not hosed down is wiped down with various chemicals depending on the surface. When the park first opens I'd feel safe eating off the bathroom floor. During the day bathrooms are cleaned a minimum of once an hour and in some cases every 20 minutes. If the toilet seat is up in the mens room it has been cleaned recently. Women's toilet seats stay down. Additionally the handles on the doors as well as the knobs buttons and other stuff you touch is also wiped down throughout the day. Are the bathrooms germ free? In a word, no, but they are most likely cleaner than the bathroom in your house. As for outside the bathrooms, all surfaces are cleaned every single night. Disney has gotten a bit germ-phobic in recent years so extra attention is given to surfaces with disinfectant chemicals nearly every night. Now this really doesn't say anything about the time when the park is open but simply washing your hands and not getting coughed on is plenty to keep you safe and germ free.
