While I certainly don't condone those guests....I am not a fan of that poster either.

Seems like a lot of people are suddenly Disney World experts who are just following vlogs and posts just to criticize and judge. People who have never gone to Disney and have no intention of going to Disney.

Do you mean Jenny Nicholson? I did not know she’d never been to a park before! She talks about Disney a lot on her account.
 
We had an amazing day at the Magic Kingdom due to wait times, and Disney was right that it was not an issue to be there a little late because of it. The only negative thing today was trying to get there! We are staying at Fort Wilderness and we were told the boats would start at 8:30. We got there at 8:10 and the line was out to the bike racks. OK, no big deal. I figured that since Disney knew EXACTLY how many guests staying at the fort had reservations for MK today they would be prepared with the number of boats to send over. Nope. Their plan was to run ONE boat back and forth. The CMs told us that they were not told how many reservations there were and so they weren't expecting that many people to be waiting. Really?? The finally had that data and didn't use it. Disappointing. The CMs there were helpful - called in another boat and some buses and got everyone over, but we got on line at 8:10 and didn't get to the park until 9:30. Hopefully they'll fix it for tomorrow! We're headed to AK though but I hope tomorrow's folks have a better experience. Other than that - an absolutely perfect day. Our longest waits were in the morning - 25 minutes for a couple of rides, and then everything went down to walk on or 10-15 minutes. I was worried about food with so few places open, but the mobile ordering was smooth and fast - even at 12:30-1:00. We had an awesome day! So glad to be back!
 
It still scares and fascinates me how someone would be stupid enough to broadcast being that sick and being out and about even pre-covid, but now?? They aren’t even self aware enough to hide it.

In all seriousness these are the people dumb enough to be super spreaders.

We know people spend thousands on disney vacations, the urge to go the park sick will be high. I bet there are a several people who are just too sick but go anyway from out of state.

Don't go near animal kingdom tomorrow, i wouldn't go anywhere that lady has been for a day.
 
Overacting.

I mean not for nothing but I've had a life threatening tree nut allergy since age 12 and I'm pushing 40, I have never had symptoms that required a Benedryl that I didn't immediately take my Epipen for or go to urgent care/an ER. If this really was a severe allergic reaction Benedryl is a stop gap until you can get care. She was full of it.

If in the context of a massive community spread hot spot during a global pandemic, nurses at First Aid--like, actual licensed medical professionals--are telling you that you need to go to a hospital and you decide that you need to go to another park instead, they need to not let you in to that other park at minimum and that's a hill I will gladly die on
 
Her symptoms could be due to a number of causes, including heat exhaustion. But our minds immediately go to COVID-19. Regardless of the cause, what she experienced was the body’s way of saying “slow down, I’ve had enough and I need a rest”. Probably not a good idea to continue touring the park. Not in her own best interest. Not in the best interest of those around her. And to put it out there on social media? Another bad choice.

Disney’s effort isn’t why we canceled our September trip. Stupid people are.

We haven’t canceled our Disneyland trip yet for November because I’ve found the crowd there to be much less stupid. The WDW crowd is Real Housewives meets Honey Boo Boo.

An absolute guarantee.

Disney’s measures are hopefully good enough to protect CMs and guests when it happens. That’s what they’re there for, assuming everyone’s positive and acting accordingly.
 
I have very mixed feelings about the parks reopening, but I won’t judge most anyone visiting right now. This, though, is very concerning. :scared: Thread friends, please be careful and vigilant.

Meanwhile, I've been over here telling my husband he isn't allowed to have carbonated drinks at the park because I don't want anyone to mistake him clearing his throat from reflux for him having coronavirus 🤣. Seriously I feel like you can't so much as sniffle in public without people thinking you have the plague... I have no idea how you would openly go around when you had recently been vomiting! (or why you would want to... corona aside idk about you but walking around in the heat while nauseated does not sound magical to me)

I know people are going to do it, but vlogging it? Oof. 🤦‍♀️

People who are in a park with symptoms during a pandemic and keep going to that park while refusing treatment deserve to be criticized and judged. It's irresponsible and dangerous.
Yeah, this actually has me angry with Disney. The Carlye stuff is a Carlye issue, but this group should be banned from the parks. The fact that Disney let them go back to the parks is not excusable.

No excuses disney! that is way to many people in way too narrow a space. disney can't create traffic issues like that or they will create a mass spread. Disney must do better, this isn't a preview day


I respect her decision to leave and that she was uncomfortable.

That said, I personally would not have felt uncomfortable in the situation that was shown in the video. It seemed people were able to walk quite easily. But maybe there was more I didn't see.

I agree.

I fully expect people who are unknowingly sick to be in the parks, but the second you start showing symptoms, you have to leave. You have to, have to, have to. Accepting that really needs to be something that people consider before deciding to go. You really do need to be willing to walk away and do the right thing, even if it winds up being nothing.

Carlye didn’t want to be there. Right now neither do I.

These other people shouldn’t be there and won’t leave. For shame.

Make room on your hill for me please :)

Not her specifically although I don't particularly care for her from other channels I watch.....but anyway, I am sure she has. But, I am also pretty sure she is more familiar with Disneyland than Disney World.

I am talking about other people I follow that I have never seen talk about Disney World ever. Not once. And now suddenly, they are experts.

So, it just feels like people from thousands of miles away watching vlogs, not because they love Disney and want to see what's going on at the parks, not because they have a trip coming up and want to see what things are like......but just because they are wanting to catch people and judge Disney for opening.
