Getting Toddlers Covid Tested

[Beauty2016]

How did you get your toddler (just under 2 here) tested before your cruises? Walgreens is saying they have to be 3+. We will not be home or in Florida yet when it is needed because we are driving 19 hours with a few stops. I don't understand how they expect us to find a PCR test for a toddler when the only place I can find to do one is her pediatrician and we wont be home....

I'm sorry. It is very frustrating to find a place when they are under 3. We've tested my son at a drive-up place at a local hospital about 15 minutes away. Maybe see if there is someplace like that along the drive? Or an urgent care center? I know some airports do them as well.

My daughter got our 14 month old granddaughter tested at her pediatrician's office. They sent away the results and got them back a day or so later and she uploaded them to Safe Passage. Then she had to get tested again at the port before boarding (Disney's dime). Then she had to be tested again on the 4th day of our 5 day cruise (again on Disney's dime).

We will not be home to use our pediatrician because we are driving starting 5 days prior to cruise.

When will you arrive in Florida? 2 or 3 days prior? If it's 3 days, you could do the Orlando International Airport.

I’d use an Urgent Care or an airport somewhere along your route. Just call ahead to make sure they’ll test little ones.

Not till late Saturday night and we board Monday.

COVID testing is the reality. You may need to switch up your plan to accommodate.
