Just returned to Canada - PCR test

[Courtney Disney 2019]

We just returned from an amazing trip to Disneyland and wanted to give a recommendation for PCR testing. We used this company:

https://covidtestcourier.com/
I was a little sceptical because it almost sounded too good to be true, but went off yelp reviews and crossed my fingers. This service was AMAZING! They came to us at the Disneyland Hotel at 7:00am as requested, took 5 min, we didn’t have to give up half a day at the park to go get tested, we still made it to rope drop, and had our results less than 24 hours. We had zero issues returning to Canada. One thing to mention was that I did reimburse them for their parking at the Disneyland Hotel, at good neighbour hotels this probably wouldn’t be an issue as they are in and out within 5 min.

That’s incredible thank you!!!!! I plan to use this!!!

Did they just meet you in lobby to do it?

 

[Courtney Disney 2019]

I just requested that they text me when they arrived and I would meet them in the lobby and take them up to our hotel room. Our flight from Orange County (John Wayne airport) was cancelled last minute and they transferred us from Alaska airlines to west jet flying out of LAX, a bit stressful, but I can now say that they accepted the test at SNA, LAX, Alaska Airlines, WestJet, and Vancouver Canada boarder control lol.

This really does look too good to be true. DD and I are booked at City Hall for Wednesday afternoon but I'm tempted to cancel and book this service! I wonder how much of a pain it will be to get a refund since the City Hall tests are already paid for.

How did you receive your results? I have a trip from Canada in 3 weeks and wondered the best way to get the test done. You may have solved my problem!

 

[Courtney Disney 2019]

They emailed the results to me and the concierge printed them out for me at the front desk.

Thank you for sharing this! I was looking to book a test at City Hall.

For your test results and lab info, do they just email it to you electronically? Did you just have to pull it up on your phone and show it at the airport?

I'm not the OP, but when I traveled back to Canada earlier this month I just pulled the pdf of my results up on my phone and showed them that way. Same thing with my ArriveCAN receipt and my boarding pass, phone is good for all of them!

I did see people showing results on their phone. I do like to have a paper copy as well. Covidtestcourier emailed me the results and the concierge at DLH printed them off for me.

Can I ask which test this is? Do they pick your brain or just swab the front of your nose? I had the pick your brain test once and I have no desire to do that again.

Oh wow, this is great information, that you!! You should post this over on the CDN Disboards, there is a whole thread about testing in both FL and CA and I don't think this company (the one you used) has been mentioned yet!

It was just a front nostril swab, not one of the brain poking ones. Posting this is a reminder of what strange time’s these are

Wonderful! Yes, these are very strange times indeed.

Has anyone else used this company more recently as well?

We have them booked for next week! But head over to the CDN board because someone just posted a trip report from last week and used them as well.

I used them mid September and was very happy with their service. I was staying at the Disneyland Hotel and got them to meet me in the Downtown Disney drop-off parking lot (or at least I think it was. I texted the screenshot of where I was to the driver). We sat on a bench in the empty parking lot at 7 am. It took 5 minutes and I had the results that night.

We used them a couple of weeks ago on a Thursday afternoon. The tester texted me throughout the day to give an update on when she would arrive to our hotel so that was nice so we could make sure we got back before she arrived. It was a super quick process; there was a bench outside of the entrance to the hotel and that's where we did it. We got the results late that night maybe around 11 or 12 midnight and were able to print out a copy at the hotel to show at the airport instead of pulling it up on the phone.
