Rapid antigen tests in Kissimmee/Orlando?

[WDdaughter]

Now that DCL has updated their policy re:COVID testing, we are a family of 7 that will require rapid antigen tests 1-2 days pre board. We will be staying at Treehouse villas on the Fri and Sat pre Sun cruise. Does anyone know of a reliable COST EFFECTIVE place to get the testing???

Just got off the Wish this morning. Spent 6 days at the parks before so had to test there. Went to PharmcoRx which is pretty close to the airport. They charged $99 for a rapid PCR no insurance. Got the results back in 15 minutes with no wait. Very friendly and professional.

Don’t get me started on why DCL is requiring all fully vaccinated to pay for their own tests but will provide them free to unvaccinated at the port???

Have you considered doing your test in your room through a proctor service like On-point. You use a store bought test (or the free ones from the USG) and pay per person to do the proctoring. On-point cost $16.99 per person. Plus you supply the test.

also, while unvaxed people get tested at the port free, they do have to test 3 days before the cruise at their own expense and it has to be a PCR test or similar, not antigen test. Then retested at the port with an antigen test. So that group will probably be one of the safest groups on the ship.

we Cruise in 2 weeks, so will be trying the on-point proctor testing.

For what it’s worth, unvaccinated guests have to pay for the PCR test, which is much more expensive.

Disney has been doing the antigen test 1-2 days in advance for a couple of months. You can do a telemedicine appointment which is the most cost-effective way to do them.

There is also a Nomi health testing site on US-27 south of Davenport. It’s a bit of a drive from Disney but is fast and free.

I will. We’re also on a November cruise on November 6th Fantasy. Are we on the same one? (We’re also on the 8 night before it). We’re doing a b2b.

On point will be the most cost effective. We used them last month. Super easy, no issues.

We are on the same cruise! Thanks so much for the tip. We went ahead and booked through On Point, very reasonable price and will be great to do in our room. Unfortunately my 3 year old granddaughter has had to be tested so often in the past year for day care and where we live they only do nasopharyngeal and she is now petrified.

By a test kit and her her do it at home by herself for fun. She’ll learn those other tests are like picking your nose. That’s is what our schools did for nervous kids. Set a kit home to “play” with
