Hey! We are to be in Disney from 4/29 - 5/6! We are driving, so at least we don't have to worry about being on a plane with recycled air! I hope they figure this out and get it contained soon!
Peg, I totally agree you should be more vigil.
You are in a high risk area everyday!!! Even though we love you for it
You have also had health problems that could weaken your immune system.
I am being more vigil as my oldest has really bad asthma and has been in the hospital 8 times in almost 15 years.
The average healthy person who doesn't live in "Its a small germ after all...." has much less to worry about at this point.
By the way it was great talking to you the other day!

Maybe I should get ya'll to add a can of lysol spray to the gift boxes
I can see it now ~ welcome kits made up with little medical masks (complete with mickey head print) little bottles of purell and clorox wipes and lysol spray
The premium package can have rubber gloves and complete bio hazard costumes
I know this is serious and I am not making light of the situation but a little humor goes a long way
The number of people who contracted West Nile Virus (a much more serious flu)
http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dvbid/westnile/surv&controlCaseCount07_detailed.htm
3,630 people in the US contracted west Nile. 124 died from it (there is the short version in case you don't want to click on the link)
First of all West Nile is NOT a flu and doesn't have flu like symptoms.
Update: So Disney just got back to me after "researching" and said I declined the trip insurance. I said I would have my lawyer call them and the minute I said lawyer the woman said, "Sir I have to end this call now because you mentioned contacting a lawyer." LOL. ok. I got her name though. Is this worth pursuing. Why would they deny someone the right to add insurance a day after making payment? Is it the swine flu?

It is because they don't want people who have paid for their trip already to buy insurance after the fact if they decide that they need to cancel their trip. It's not just Disney. It's just like if you bought something from the store and declined an extended warranty, then came back later and said you wanted it afterall (people would be doing this right and left if their purchases malfunctioned after buying them). Also, many companies do instruct that agents end the call if a customer mentions taking legal action. This is because companies normally have separate departments that handle cases where legal action is being taken, and I am certain Disney has a department like this with the many people that try to sue Disney. To answer your question, this has nothing to do with the swine virus.
