    I absolutely have no problem with spending a little more time to get inside the park if it ensures the safety of others as well as myself and my family. My concern is that asymptomatic people could be spreading the virus unbeknownst to them and undetectable by a thermometer reading. Additionally, we need to pay attention to what the medical research will tell us about when someone is contagious and whether they are contagious even before they would have an abnormal temperature reading. And what about people whose autoimmune responses make them a- febrile even with the most serious of illnesses such as sepsis and others? Although that isn’t a very common scenario, there are people who simply do not run temperatures or fevers with illnesses. They need to look into Fail-Safe methods of detection and prevention..

    I’m in for safety first – we’ve been coming yearly now with our children and grandchildren for34 years. Safety and concern for visitors have always been at the top of reasons why we come. I trust your judgement implicitly.

    Whats next a complete strip search and a back ground check. This is stupid. I personally feel no safer at the parks than I did before. Just another big brother program.

    I agree with anything they propose on doing, the stricter the better in my eyes. I have no objections. It is for myself and my families safety- I am all for it. I am a registered nurse and have seen first hand the devastating effects of this virus.

      Agree 100%

    How about they just stop letting in as many people as they do? It was so crammed and miserable. Wait times for rides over 4 hours?

    Perhaps for those staying at a Disney property this screening can take place at the hotel and a Fast Pass Lane be set up at the parks similar to what some venues do for people without bags. It would be an added perk of being a guest at a Disney hotel.

  7. If a temperature is needed to be taken upon entering fine it might stop other sicknesses from entering the park as well. Such as the flu or colds or strep throat, that all bring in but don’t care because it is their vacation and they want to do something besides be in a hotel room. The temperature would stop all of these disease as well. This will make folks unhappy but it will make the park less likely to pass on illnesses.

    Listen to me just let people in. Put things to wash hands at the rides so people has to do it before they can get on the ride. People have allergies. They ran temperature, cough , and much more. How do you know what is what? We love Disney World, but if you get to carry away how can it be the happiness place on earth!!! God be with us all!!!!

    I can fully appreciate wanting to take precautions amid this pandemic but Mr. Iger’s comments about taking fever scans at the gate is a bit over the top. You could have a fever of 100 just from walking to the gate on a hot day but it doesn’t mean you are sick. he mentioned they scan people before entering buildings but those people haven’t paid thousands of dollars way in advance for doing so. There had better be parameters in place before they tell someone at the gate they can’t come in just because the temp is a little high and not know why. lot of angry folks out there if they don’t.

    I have no doubt that Disney will take every precaution to protect its guest when they re-open. I also have no doubt that the day they re-open, no matter what extra measures need to ne taken, my daughter & I will be anxious to return!

    I’m not a Florida resident but an avid Disney fan that goes very often.
    I think I can argue against most proposals that are being put forward to prevent this virus spreading, the fact is it’s never going to go completely.
    Disney attracts millions of people because of its magic which my taking away shows, parades etc is going to spoil a big part of that magic.
    6ft gaps between people will never work people just won’t stick to it.
    Cleaning rides in between each go would cause horrendous queues, I go in the summer when queues are already horrendous this would make them so much more.
    Plus every wall, railing shelf in the shops bin toilet door bench etc etc would also need to be cleaned because everyone is always touching or sitting so your never going to be able to sanitize everything that’s touched.
    Wearing masks will be a nightmare in the heat, I’m a asthmatic and having a mask on my face would cause me anxiety, I also suffer with pressure urticaria so wearing a mask with elastic would cause hives on my face and if they spread which they do to my mouth then I also suffer anaphylactic so this would not be suitable for me.
    Temperature checks, what if someone has a ear infection or throat infection and present with a temperature?.
    Reducing the riders on rides with virtual queues is unfair to those who don’t get to ride them and have paid the same money, will they give a refund?
    I believe the best way is to put hand sanitizers at every ride and food outlet and hope that everyone will use them.
    I think reduce the capacity is a good idea but that’s because it gets to busy anyway.
    I would then open and if you choose to go fine and if you don’t and want to wait then fine too.
    All the restrictions are just not doable not if you want to have the same magical experience.

    I have no problem with temperature checks or even wearing masks to keep everyone safe. We are planning a trip in November with our whole family and want to be safe.

  13. The information is very special, I will have to follow you, the information you bring is very real, reflecting correctly and objectively, it is very useful for society to grow together.
