Closest to WDW COVID testing for travelers

[jeanico2000]

Hello fellow Disney lovers: Can anyone let me know where travelers can get COVID PCR tests (required to fly back to Canada) super close to Disney World? We will be staying onsite at AoA and will not have a car. I am not sure where to find the information. Many thanks for your assistance!

It's not necessarily the closest to WDW (I did see a few options and can try to retrieve them if no one else has them faster) - but I did my covid test (not necessary for me to fly though some people did need them for that) at MCO the day I traveled. There was a place near the 1-59 gates (really far from where I needed to be, unfortunately) but even with the 30 min wait for results, I still made it via DME (3 hr pickup before flight) to check my bags via SW, walk very far, get the test (already had an appt), got food at the food court to scarf down while waiting for results. got the results and quickly made it to security, tram, plane (the open boarding on SW is the only issue - had that not existed and had I been able to find the place more easily, given my original directions were super unclear, I wouldn't have had to rush for anything). I recognize that might not solve your problem but thought I'd offer it. https://orlandoairports.net/getting-around-mco/coronavirus-covid-19/

Thanks for your response! We just secured a rental car for the day, so would prefer something other than at MCO. Really looking for something situated between WDW and Universal.

Got it. When I was there, I remember finding Walgreens as the best possible option for that (I had considered taking a rideshare, before I knew MCO was an option). Here's some of what I had found/saved from last week (I can't promise any of it works per se - just what I had found during some late night post-parks googling):

AdventHealth Centra Care Orange Lake (near Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge)
8201 W Irlo Bronson Memorial Hwy
Kissimmee, FL 34747

AdventHealth Centra Care Lake Buena Vista (near Disney Springs)
12500 South Apopka Vineland Road
Orlando, FL 32836

The easiest for me has been to go to walgreens or cvs. you do it yourself through the drive through and get results quickly. Availability changes a lot though so I don't know what they have available. Just make sure you don't get the one that takes days to get results.
