Swine Flu - General Discussion and how it affects Disney

I thought your original post was hysterical ... :thumbsup2 ... my husband especially liked the idea of a meat helmet and is talking of creating one this weekend when we're having a large gathering in our backyard to grill meats of porky origin.

I hope you enjoy your upcoming trip! :goodvibes

LOL! I don't know what it is, but every guy I tell about the meat helmet loves the idea. Way back in the dim recesses of our primal brains, a tiny spark flickers. . . a single, lone neuron fires. . . a tendril of drool falls from the lips and we think to ourselves in a Homer voice "Mmmmmm.....pork good!"

If you think about it, it's the ultimate accessory. You can wear it to satisfy state helmet laws and then grill the sucker and eat it! Brilliant! :eek:
 
Ohh...I also don't care if I get flamed for my comments on Mexico. Remember the tainted tomatoes of 2008? Who gave them to us? Mexico! Salmonella spinach? Mexico! Thank you to all the greedy companies who fled to get cheap labor in Mexico and China...what did we get in addition to unemployment? Tainted food, tainted pet food, tainted baby formula, lead-filled toys. Everybody is so worried about being "politically correct" (the Dems) or offending voters (Dems and Republicans) or using hysteria to divide the masses (Republicans) that nobody is doing anything to protect Americans from this sub-par crap that is making our babies, pets and elderly sick. Look how long it took to name Mexico as the source of tainted tomatoes! Mattel actually APOLOGIZED to China when Mattel found lead in their toys. People, instead of being worried about if you're going to get sick at WDW or if the gay guy will win on Idol, lets start putting our religious and political differences aside and stand together against these corporations that are sacrificing OUR HEALTH to wring out more profit!

Hand Foot & Mouth came from Mexico.
 

Here's my input:

We just got back from WDW almost 2 weeks ago. You can take all the hand sanitizer you want, but how are you going to feel crammed into a bus full of people? I don't think we got on a bus once that wasn't full - literally people on top of people.

And the buffets? I don't think so.....

Face it, WDW is full of people from all over. I never ever thought I would say, "I'm glad my Disney World vacation is over." But I'm saying it now.

I would not have enjoyed my time there worrying about this. If our trip was upcoming in the next week or so, I would be canceling or postponing for sure.

Especially standing ontop of a pig.

Now THERE'S a picture for the stretching room in the Haunted Mansion!

First you just see Dr. Gupta looking all........um...........Guptish?

Then the room starts streeeeetching and you see Dr. Gupta is really on the back of an emaciated Anderson Cooper who is also perched upon the back of a flu ridden swine!


*leaves computer to go find meds* :rolleyes1

To be fair we planned it before news of the flu broke last weekend but now it's just kind of funny. Everyone is bringing a "home remedy" to ward off the virus. ;)

My contribution is a pitcher of sangria and a batch of kahlua coladas. :goodvibes

O Yum! Am I invited? I can bring bacon wrapped filet, or prociutto wrapped melon?
 
I'll make some prosciutto wrapped venison! Then we can get swine flu AND wasting disease *eyeroll*
 
I teach in Alabama. It seems that some cases of swine flu have been confirmed in Huntsville, and as as result, our school system is preparing to cancel school for 7-10 days, which will be made up the week we have reservations at WDW. I am so bummed!! I have been looking forward to this trip all spring. :sad2:

That stinks. I'm a teacher too :teacher: and we leave for WDW on May 22nd, our last day of school. If we have to cancel any days, we will definitely have to make them up. We are currently making up time from hurricane days and snow days!!
 
Do you think you're allowed to bring colorox wipes into the parks? Because if you really were obsessed with germs you could bring those and when you get into a car/boat/whatever on a ride you could wipe everything down before you touch it with your hands. Or you could wipe down the tables at the CS and such. Being a germaphobe must be really exhausting!
