no more temp checks

[karma459]

I just saw a post on another site that they will be phasing out temp checks for Cast Members on May 8 and for Guests beginning May 16, so I scooted over to WDW site to confirm and there it is:

One less thing to do before walking through those Magical Gates! yay!

Disney is phasing out onsite temp screenings. reported by disunplugged Jackie. mid May. I am happy about this, one less thing to do but I was wondering if they are following cdc guidelines where that is written. I am asking for work, we still do temp checks and I would love for that to be changed there too. where is the written guidelines wdw is viewing, i can't find it and want to show my work.

Disney has never been following CDC guidelines.

This is what is published on the WDW website:

Temperature Screenings

Since reopening, we have considered guidance from public health authorities, government agencies, and our own team of health and safety experts as we assess and update health and safety measures to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.

As this guidance continues to evolve, and with the support of local health and government officials, we are making some additional adjustments. Following the advice of the CDC and our local health officials, we will phase out onsite temperature screenings at Walt Disney World Resort for Cast Members beginning May 8 and Guests on May 16.

We will continue to follow the guidance of health and safety leaders going forward and most importantly encourage people to get vaccinated.

Temperature screenings are required for entry to some locations.

You will be required to undergo a temperature screening with no-touch thermometers before entry to some locations at Walt Disney World Resort, including the Walt Disney World theme parks, the Disney Springs area and table-service restaurants at Disney Resort hotels.

Based on guidance from health authorities, anyone displaying a temperature of 100.4 F or above will be directed to an additional location for rescreening and assistance. Those with temperatures 100.4 F or above will not be allowed entry; those in their party will not be allowed entry either.

Before you leave home, be sure to check the temperatures of everyone in your party—including yourself—as an extra layer of precaution.

Please keep discussion on this thread ONLY to the removal of the temperature screenings at WDW.

Any discussions outside of this specific topic will be removed.

Ah, so close! No big deal though hopefully. I do have a family member that gets overheated really easily, but since we will be going to the park in the morning we will probably be fine.

I usually feel like death when my temperature rises anywhere near 101 and wouldn't be found anywhere near the gates of a blazing hot theme park. I've heard that forehead readers are not accurate. I assume this new rule applies to resort dining too? We had to have ours taken to eat at a resort last year.

I can foresee Disney following suit with social distancing soon, but I do not see fp coming back anytime soon.

So if I read this right it's only at resorts ?

No, Walt Disney World as a whole is considered 'Walt Disney World Resort' which includes everything on their property as I understand it.

It actually says temperature checks will be required at Walt Disney world resorts, Disney springs and table service restaurants, as I read it.

May 8th they will stop taking cm temps, May 16 stop taking guests temps. For now, temp check is in place.

I will politely agree to disagree on this. Time will tell.

There's nothing to agree or disagree about, your earlier post quoting the WDW website clearly says what I said,
The line beginning with you will be required.
