Is there just no statistics about Covid transmission there?

Ugh I’m so on the fence about going. And I cannot find anything about people getting sick there. Has anyone found anything??? Personal experiences? I got the vaccine this past weekend but it’s not going to be protective this coming weekend when we are there. Help!

Yes, people have caught Covid at WDW. There are numerous anecdotal reports online in various places.

No, there are no official statistics, mainly because FL doesn't do contact tracking, WDW does not encourage their employees to talk about testing positive, and people get infected and then go back home to another state and the case is counted there.

There is an chance you will contract the virus at WDW. Take precautions and do your best to avoid others. If it's too much anxiety, reschedule for a few weeks out when you will be fully protected.

Even if a company kept covid stats, not sure it would mean anything. Disney employes still go home after work, shop or go out in public and interact with others. It isn't like their employes live there 24/7 isolated from the rest of the world. Since the OP's profile says PA, I assume you will have drive/fly to get to Disney and will interact with people at airports, hotels, rest stops, etc. It isn't like you will somehow teleport your family from PA to Orlando.

Covid isn't over and even if you have been vaccinated, it still makes sense to follow the same precautions recommended since last year when this first started. Only you can decide what your family should do at this time. One year into covid some states seems to be in a race to reopen. I have yet to see where being in denial, optimistic rhetoric or denying reality has made covid any less serious of a disease.

Lots of stories of people getting it there. But there is no way to prove they did or did not pick it up at WDW or some other place unless they literally stayed there for 2+ weeks and went no where else. So take the regular precautions or do t go. There really is no way for you to get the % of risk you are looking for.

This is a board to discuss the Theme Parks, not Covid. Closing thread.
