Is it safe to travel to Disneyland with the swine flu?
Posted on 26. Oct, 2009 by Donald Duck in Disneyland
My family and I have our annual planned trip to Disneyland in 3 weeks. We have been planning this for over a year and have our flight and park tickets already bought and paid for. My daughter is 3 and my son is 9 months old. My Dad works security in an airport and doesn’t seem too concerned about the airport issue, but do you think it is safe to visit Disneyland with my kids? I’m not too concerned, but should I be?

$7.69
Sing, dance, and play along with your favorite Disney songs! It’s fun and easy as you read the on-screen lyrics and join your favorite characters in their most memorable musical moments! Sing along to the happiest songs on earth at the happiest place on earth — Disneyland! Your host, Mr. Owl, invites you to celebrate a musical day with all your favorite Disney friends. Join Mickey and Minnie for fun and thrills as they hustle and bustle behind the scenes at the park! Then get a front-row seat on some of the wildest rides, like Star Tours, Splash Mountain and the Matterhorn, with Chip ‘n’ Dale, Roger Rabbit, and a Magic Kingdom filled with sing-along adventures.It’s easy to see why this is one of the bestselling sing-alongs from Disney: it plays like the ultimate family-vacation home movie. Instead of fleeting glimpses of your favorite characters on your home videos of Disneyland, this 27-minute episode showcases Mickey, Goofy, Pluto, and their friends hanging out with kids inside the Magic Kingdom singing (well, their lips don’t move) such popular songs as ” Zip a Dee Do Dah,” “It’s a Small World,” and “Step in Time” with the lyrics appearing on screen for youngsters. The one drawback is the video was shot in 1990, so none of the newer rides are shown, and worse yet, some older rides seen aren’t around anymore (“Mom, why didn’t we go on the submarine?”). Perhaps that isn’t a drawback since, despite the age, and some truly unknown songs (“Making Memories”), the program continues to be popular. –Doug Thomas >>Read More

At this point in time I would not-I would try to figure out a plan to re-schedule for a different time. It is just too dangerous and I would wait until at least summer when the disease will die off. Of course it will most likely come back by fall/winter but right now when it there was just a huge outbreak I wouldn’t chance it.

Go to Disneyland and enjoy yourselves. Many of the activities and rides are outdoors where the chances of infection are less than indoors. If you are concerned, stay out of some of the theater-type productions and films where you are close to other people. If things change in terms of the spread of swine flu in the next couple of weeks, then reconsider your plans.

The chances of getting swine flu are still relatively low and the chance of any serious complications is even lower. Usually safe personal hygiene can prevent any sort of virus from getting into your system so you shouldn’t be worried too much. I would advise you to be more cautious with you and your families health but it shouldn’t deter you from the vacation you have been planning for so long. However, this decision is up to you and I’m not an expert on swine flu so don’t just listen to me.
