Are vax mandates coming?

[Jonfw2]

AEG and Live Nation just instituted vaccine mandates (or a negative test in the case of AEG) starting in October for all shows nationwide

It does not seem crazy to me at all that Disney would do the same at this point.

 

[P'colaBeachBum]

Nope

 

[Jonfw2]

Already required at Disney Paris.

Already required at Disney Paris.

It required in Disneyland Paris due to French and European Law and the introduction of the EU Digital Vaccine Cert. This digital vaccine cert is required by all EU countries in order to to travel between countries. France, Ireland and a number of other EU countries are also using this digital vaccine cert for indoor dining and other entertainment and social activities.

Understood. But Disney is learning from the experience that it’s effective and doable. And many other entertainment companies are doing it here now.

This is Florida and no vax mandates or vax passports according to the Gov.

They already lost on that in court.

Disney world would have to defy state law (sure it's been challenged already) in FL if they required vaccines, verifying would also be a struggle with no centralized system to check.

Not hard at all. You buy your tickets online, enter vax info at that point. If Live Nation can do it, so can disney.

I don't think it's practical for Disney to actually verify all those vaccines with individual health care providers and systems..if they asked for the info it likely would be a whole lot of overhead that I don't see them undertaking If they don't have to, hell they didn't even question how under 12 year Olds had their vaccines and therfore didn't wear masks

Additionally, I know the state law has been challenged in court as you linked but wdw is on generally great terms with the state and I do not see them trying to sour those terms

The cruise lines are different and even though they require a certain number of vaxed passengers people are still getting COVID on the ships. Carnival had an outbreak recently. I seriously doubt WDW will go with requiring every person with a ticket show proof of vaccinations .

I hear you. I would have said this about Live Nation a few days ago.

 

[twincruisers]

I really wonder if Live Nation and AEG will check status or if it's just self-certified that I am fully vaccinated. That said, Disney will likely stick with the employee requirement only just to avoid bad PR fights at the gates.

 

[srauseo]

Disney wouldn't have to verify status themselves. There are apps and other businesses existing in and moving into this space. We are looking into them at the venue I work at.

It wouldn't matter anyway. Vaccinated people are getting infected with Delta at alarming rates. It's no longer rare to have breakthrough infections. We are dealing with it at home right now. Unless masks are ALSO required along with the vaccine requirements, people won't be any safer than just masks alone.

So far I wouldn't call the rates alarming but without additional shots this will become more common

Our rules on COVID discussions:

The global COVID pandemic created unprecedented restrictions, disruptions and changes to our travel, work, shopping, schooling, social interactions and so many other aspects of our lives since the beginning of 2020. We’ve all been affected, and we have been inundated with news, information, mis-information, frustrations and opinions. We’ve heard them, we’ve shared them, we’ve argued about them.

The discussions, debates and arguments about the virus, distancing and masking policies, various politicians’ statements and actions have been overwhelming and divisive. Many threads on the DISboards have been derailed or devolved into arguments due to this topic. We understand the passion, but feel that we’ve let the discussions run their course. We are sure there are better places on the WWW to learn about and debate scientific, medical and political issues. The mission of the DISboards is to be a great travel resource and a friendly community.

Now that travel is opening up again, it’s time to refocus on that mission!

From this point on, we will welcome information on COVID policies RELATED TO TRAVEL. Things like the vaccination policies issued by venues or destinations, the cleaning or distancing procedures in use, practical tips for travelers or things they might need to know that are different from location to location are all valid topics. Any official policies issued by Disney, other travel destinations, cruise lines, airlines, etc. regarding requirements for visiting parks or cruising can be shared. This information needs to be on-topic for the specific forum and thread where posted.

We will NOT welcome debate or opinion about medical, scientific, or political aspects of the pandemic. There are a few often repeated trigger items that won’t be allowed: No statistics about infection rates, no ranting about individual rights, no “face-diaper” comments, no debate about whether vaccinations or masking are effective, no discussions about which governor or politician or news personality did or said what.

In summary: COVID related discussion should be limited to actual policy and practical application, and NOT veer into opinion or debate.

We understand that you may be passionate in your opinions on this topic and want to discuss or debate them, and appreciate your understanding that there are more appropriate places than the DISboards to do that.
