Do they still have hand sanitizer throughout the parks?

Just wondering how much to pack.

I sure hope so this is one thing I wish would stay

Lots of reports that dispensers are empty. IIRC, one report said that they tried 16 dispensers before getting any sanitizer!

2 weeks ago we found it was a coin flip if the dispenser was filled.

They do still have all the dispensers. We just came back on Tuesday and, while we didn't count, I'd say ~50% of those we encountered were empty. Also noticed that we were amongst the only ones stopping for them (on earlier trips there would be a bit of a backup as we were exiting an attraction for everyone to get some) ... though that may have changed given the news over the last week.

Gosh they were everywhere back in May.I remember one that maybe didn’t work. I hope they start keeping them filled. From the sounds of it we need them more than ever.

I didn’t notice them on my July 22nd Studios day….

We were at Disney 7 Days.....I would say one out of every 5 would work and have sanitizer in it. About the same at Universal

We didn’t use the dispensers too often because we had our own so I can’t comment on how many were working. FWIW, the hotel gift shops were selling the 2oz bottles of GermX for $1.49, which I felt was pretty in line with what I pay for it at home.

As others have said, the dispensers are still there, but they either don’t work or are empty as often as they work. I brought a small hand sanitizer attached to my bag each day and refilled it from a big hand sanitizer every evening. The sanitizer dispensers in the parks, though a good idea, and I hope they stay forever, just weren’t that reliable.

I agree with the above. Seemed like every other dispenser was empty end of June/beginning of July! I always carry around a bottle of hand sanitizer in my purse, so I had it, but it was still annoying.

Just got back last night. I saw them near more attractions than I didn't see them. However, they were empty or not working most of the time, especially toward the end of the week. Bring your own.

 

[asumom]

that's too bad. if they have them, they should be functional

Same from July 13-22. I was really surprised that Disney was so lax in keeping those full-especially as the delta variant has caused Covid cases to increase. And I hardly ever saw anyone else using (or trying to use) the hand sanitizer stations, so it's not like Disney can use the excuse, "We tried, but we just couldn't keep up with the demand."

Our experience this trip is that there are plenty of stations, but 75% of them empty. Almost 100% empty at Universal. And I mean empty at park open, too. Neither Disney nor Universal is bothering with refilling them at this point.

Was there April 18-25th…90% of the hand sanitizers were full. Just got back (July 14-21)…90% of the hand sanitizers were empty. Now that masks are a thing again I’m assuming they’ll keep them filled. Wish they’d go back to 6 ft markers permanently once they get the fp back

We were at Disney for a couple of weeks in June. Most of the dispensers were empty, but we carried our own sanitizer. If you need to use it then the safer bet is to bring or buy your own.

Hollywood Studios this morning - overcast, drizzly, and 80 degrees. So much better! Amazing what q difference the weather makes!!

 

[jcarwash]

During our visit July 23-30, there were dispensers pretty much everywhere. We had good luck using them as well -- I don't think encountered any that were empty. We carried our own, but used the standup dispensers too.

 

[cakebaker]

We were there for the past 7 days and found a great many were empty. We just carried our own because they weren’t reliable.
