Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

Is the test site still open near Disney? and do they take NON Florida residents? @yulilin3 do you know?

Lots of test sites here in FL only accept Florida Residents. This is something that could also be a problem

I have only seen what was reported on Our local station but it did not sound like the initial test had to be from the state yoy came from. Basically, test when you get home, and then again 4 days after you take the first test.

That is what I intend to do in December. I am a week into my 14 days for my just completed trip so will go tomorrow to get sprung free early.

Congrats! Perseverance pays off!

I'm not going till February but this is where I plan on making an appointment prior to my flight back (Rhode island)
AdventHealth Centra Care Lake Buena Vista
12500 S Apopka Vineland Road
Orlando, FL 32836

They do rapid testing (15 minutes) and is open 24/7 which is convenient since I plan on doing this two day before my flight home. Unfortunately the cost is $180 since its mainly for travel (without symptoms)

I just found out someone got one that was signed around 2 p.m. today. Now I'm kind of sad haha

No there aren’t roadblocks. It’s still relying on the honor system and self reporting, just like NY has done for the past 6 months with their quarantine requirements. You have to go online and fill out a form. For air travel, they usually make sure you complete the form prior to leaving the airport. It’s mainly a way to let people travel a bit more freely without having to quarantine for 14 days once back. Cuomo understands that with holidays approaching, more people will be traveling to NY for family or traveling out of state.

Right now, state and local government employees in NY, if they travel to one of the quarantine states, MUST quarantine for that 14 days or else they lose access to the additional sick time for COVID provided by the state. This will allow people to get back to work quicker if they do have to travel out of state. But, it’s still based on self reporting.

Thank you for the explanation

Thanks...right now, my insurance will cover it in NY for travel related reasons, so I’ll do when I get back and then again later....worst case, I stay in like I am doing right now.

Things could also be different in 5 weeks when I go too, I am only going for 3 nights so I could also do day before as well, Once it actually starts happenig, we will have a better idea, Right now, they just text me every day to make sure I am feeling well...but its The honor system I’m staying home.

Now, it would be great if somehow WDW or airlines could do it.

If you fly back via Tampa airport, they’re now offering rapid tests in the airport.

I think she signed 400? Somewhere around there. I mean I forgot to ask just to confirm, but I assumed they gave those out first and didn't need to ask

Also seems like resellers ruined it too.

Saw on the ******* there was a reseller took a Pic of having 12 of them.

resellers are the freaking worst.

 

[skeeter31]

They really are. One of the worst things about Disney is the fact that they do such a poor job of stopping resellers. Rarely have caps on the amount of an item you can buy, or are so easy to get around by having multiple people in your group buy the allotted amount. Then top it off by making things so hard to even get in the first place, whether it’s a last minute announcement that something will be released in the parks, or an online exclusive that will crash the website immediately when it launches and you don’t even know if you’ve gotten it after you’ve checked out.

But I think the ones that really get me are the AP magnets that sell on EBay for $20-$30. Here’s something that someone got for FREE and they hawk it for a major payday. I’m sorry, but I’d much rather find someone on here that wasn’t able to get to the parks at the time a specific magnet was available and send it to them to make their day. Just disgusting.

Your journey today has been an emotional roller coaster for me I had my mom over and in between making food & socializing I was coming to check whether or not you got a pass, got in line, got the saber - phew! Then missed the signed ones - NOOOO ((Angry clenched fist toward the sky))

haha! exhausting day for me as well. Happened to wake up around 1am this morning, saw the news about Ahsley appearing at a meetup and announcing on sale, while signing a bunch. Tried for about a hour there to get a park res. Fell back asleep, alarm went off at 530am to get ready for work. Tried for park ressies while getitng ready. Got to work a little after 6. Then all day at work trying. Was wanting to give up, then getting it at 4, rushing over there. Being excited to get one, thinking ya no way I had a chance. Then seeing reading signed ones lasted into the afternoon., little disappointed as if I could have gotten a res earlier, would have gotten one.
