Did I miss this and it's old news about temp checks?

Hey girl!

I did not post it because Orange County, NOT Disney, said temperature checks are no longer needed. The article itself states:

“In other words, Dr. Pino’s statements and the Florida Department of Health recommendation should not be construed to mean Walt Disney World will change its policy simultaneous with this recommendation.”

Until one of the major blogs report it, and it’s Disney related, I won’t post it. Just don’t want to cause any confusion.

Nothing I’ve ever used nor am I likely to ever use it, but it’s nice to see the slow and steady restoration of services.

Meh, I'd rather have the package delivery return! Enable my spending habits, Disney!

But agree... it's a step.

Disney Cruise Line Updates Final Payment & Cancellation Policies

Do they still charge the valet fee for those with disabilities? If so, I believe that violates the ADA rules.

Do they still charge the valet fee for those with disabilities? If so, I believe that violates the ADA rules.

ADA would only require they provide accessible parking spaces for self parking. Last I knew though Disney does not charge the fee if you have a valid accessible parking placard.

American Idol’s “Disney Night” Song List Has Been Revealed!

“Disney Night” episode airing live coast to coast Tonight, Sunday, MAY 2 at 8 p.m. EST/5 p.m. PST on ABC.

Not really news, but interesting note about the Valet news. Disney outsources valet and some bell services/luggage assistance functions to Bags, Inc (same company that provided the now defunct DME luggage handling and Airline Check-In services). You can see a number of the valet related job postings on their website: https://careers-bags.icims.com/jobs/search?pr=0&searchLocation=12781-12793-ORLANDO&schemaId=&o=

(And no, Disney does not charge for valet services if needed for accessible parking)
