Hi everyone,

I was looking through documentation on the Disney site and trying to see if anyone had come across this situation before. We are scheduled to sail on the Sat 5/28 Fantasy and did a PCR test on Mon 5/16 (12 days before sailing). That test came back inconclusive with the wording "An inconclusive result is most likely an indication of virus present near the limit of detection and should be treated as a result of Detected." As a result, we did another test on Tue 5/17, and that came back positive.

Looking at the wording on Disney's Know Before You Go web page, they mention "If Guests have tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 within 11 to 90 days of their sail date, they may qualify to be considered as “90-Day-Recovered.” That seems to imply that testing positive on Day 11 is included. However, later in the page, they also mention needing to provide "A copy of your previous positive COVID-19 test result which is greater than 11 days and less than 90 days from your expected sail date." That seems to imply that the Tue 5/17 test would not work.

I called Inspire Diagnostics on Tue 5/17 and the person on the phone asked for my sail date and verbally assured me that a positive test on Tue 5/17 would be accepted but that this was the last day for that sailing. However, I thought that it would be good to get that in writing and e-mailed them that question (along with a few others) last night. That reply was more ambiguous and basically said that they didn't know if that lab would accept it and that I should "just upload it and see if the lab accepts it". Of course, the challenge there is that I won't have the Document of Recovery until about 24 hours prior to sailing.

Has anyone here happened to try to apply for 90-Day Recovery with a Day 11 test and been successful? Or has anyone been successful in using an inconclusive/"presumptive positive" test within the 90-day window to get "90-day recovered status"?

Since they are doing antigen testing at the port, it is quite possible that we might test negative anyway. But this would definitely be a less stressful route if it is possible to take.

Thanks in advance for any experiences that people might be able to share!!
 
Despite multiple conflicting responses ahead of time, they accepted my test that was 11 days prior to sailing (with corresponding document of recovery). They considered me 90 days recovered and I did not have to test at the port.

I hope that helps!
 

How did your doctor give you the recovery letter soon after testing? Did you have to explain the sail date?

We used QuickMD. They allowed me to schedule an appointment and generate a document as soon as I was symptom free. The document was just forward dated based on 10-days from the positive test.

Thanks, when did you upload the test results and recovery letter?
I just tested positive today and our sail date is in 13 days.
 
In my case, I think it was still 3-4 days before sailing. But they told me it just had to be 24 hours before and that I could always bring the documentation to the terminal otherwise.
 
We have had a positive covid test and had to reschedule cruise.......... positive test was 6/30 and new cruise departs 8/6

Am I understanding that the recovery letter can be dated anywhere from 7/10 (10 days after test) up to cruise date?

I believe so. My letter referenced the date of my positive COVID test and indicated that I was clear to travel 11 days from the onset of my symptoms (as reported by me). That being said, I believe that Disney will want it to be at least 11 days from the positive test regardless of when your symptoms started. In my case, I got the letter ~5-6 days after the positive test. I hope that helps.
