Cold and Flu Season Sweeps the Nation

Amidst the excitement and enchantment that permeates the resort, some guests have unfortunately had their magical experience interrupted by sickness. It is crucial to note that these allegations are all guest-reported, and nothing has been confirmed by Walt Disney World Resort or local health officials. 

Numerous factors can contribute to sickness at the Walt Disney World Resort, including the fact that the nation is in the middle of its annual cold and flu season. With temperatures dropping and lots of people traveling, sick cases are growing worldwide. While most people stay home and recover when they get sick, that can be a difficult thing to justify when you have spent hundreds or thousands of dollars on your Disney vacation. Despite not feeling well, many guests chose to forgo resting and push on with their Disney theme park vacation.

Disney’s infrastructure also can make it easy for guest sickness to spread. Theme parks like Disney have tons of high-touch areas that make it easy for contaminated guests to spread their illnesses. Disney also has lots of lines, crowded areas, and tight indoor spaces that allow for germs and bacteria to spread.

Disney Works Diligently to Combat the Spread of Sickness

In light of these ongoing concerns, the Walt Disney World Resort and its dedicated team of professionals are committed to ensuring the utmost safety and well-being of their guests. Continuous efforts are being made to address the concern over sickness. Disney’s cleaning crews help disinfect the parks as much as possible, and Disney also supports social distancing when possible.

Additionally, Disney’s resort-wide aid stations are staffed with trained medical personnel who are ready to provide immediate care and assistance if any guest falls ill. These aid stations are strategically located throughout the park, ensuring quick response times and peace of mind for visitors.
