A little help if you can

[Jo-Anne]

Hi everyone, I’m looking for some quick help as I’m a little rattled right now. I know the answers are in these threads - but I just learned while in the line for Mickey and Minnie ride that my father in law passed away suddenly. So we arrived Thursday night and now have to head home. We are at Pop Century. Which Walgreens can I get same day result quick Covid tests for the three of us? Thanks

 

[von Monster]

Sorry to hear about your father. Any Walgreens will do, you're looking for the ID-NAAT test.

I believe you have to book online so check every single one for availability. I'll link the testing page, you can select Orlando as your location for a list of pharmacy locations.

The closest one is on Irlo Bronson. If you can't get an appointment, I would actually try calling and explaining your situation.

So sorry about your father-in-law.

You have to fill out the information on the website to be able to see what spots are available.


4400 S HIGHWAY 27
Clermont, FL 34711 has tests tomorrow (that's the only one I see with tests tomorrow)

The Irlo Bronson ones has tests on Tuesday.
5903 S ORANGE BLOSSOM TRL has tests on Monday.
5280 S JOHN YOUNG PKWY has Monday
4502 S ORANGE BLOSSOM TRL has Monday

This is one of those times some pixie dust is helpful. Go by the hotel desk and talk to the manager or concierge. There are likely some resources they can bring to bear, including assistance with airport transportation.

Thanks everyone! I booked three appointments for Monday noon and will try to book the Monday 5pm flight home. Hopefully the results are as everyone has reported and come back within the hour (and all positive fingers crossed!). I will try calling tomorrow though to see if we can get in same day somewhere and also stop by front desk to see if they have any assistance or advice! I know there are so many resourceful people here that would help!

(You want to go to the desk rather than calling because calls don’t actually get routed to the desk on property).

if you’re flying out, I would not be surprised if you got some help getting tested at the airport.

Safe travels!

Hi Hon
I am so sorry for your loss.
A few years ago the staff at OKW main desk was able to assist me in so many things ,,they helped reschedule my flight, print boarding passes ,, town car to the airport and their kindness with my family was amazing.
Have a safe trip home.

Hugs
Mel

Hectic past 24 hours rebooking everything and getting Covid tests set up. We actually drove this morning to the Walgreens that we had booked for tomorrow’s testing and they said due to our circumstances they would test us today and we had the negative test emails within one hour after test. I also went to front desk of Pop last night to ask if we could extend our stay one night and the night manager was so kind and I believe they have not charged us for this extra night. I will be writing a very thankful email to Pop to let them know how grateful we are for their compassion. So Arrive Can app all updated and we are on our way home to Toronto tomorrow and then catching flight to Sydney Tuesday night. I’m going to see if we can get our timeshare week back to use later-not hopeful on that front but such is life. Thanks to everyone for their help and kind words. Great community here!

If the timeshare is DVC,,,check with them as soon as you can,,,800-800-8900,,they are great and most likely,,no guarentee that they will put the points back in your account. We were delayed a few years ago flying out of Buffalo, snow storm, they put the points back in and not into holding. If another timeshare,,sorry I dont have ideas on what they will do...Good luck...make sure you check with the airlines about compassion fares. If they dont have reduced rates,,they have been known to bump others so you can at least get on the flight.

Sorry for your loss. Safe travels. Disney’s compassion and customer service, I’m sure, have been a real help in difficult circumstances.

 

[azrivest]

My sympathies... Hope the return to Sydney went alright

Unfortunately its a Holiday Inn Group Timeshare (Cape Caribe Cape Canaveral) - they were not so helpful on initial call and I asked for an escalation and still have no callback. I also was able to secure compassion airfare from Toronto to Sydney - but wow - still a shocking price to pay!
