Is it safe to travel to Disneyland with the swine flu?
Posted on 01. Nov, 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?

Designing Disney

$12.28
Designing Disney sets into history and puts into context the extraordinary contributions of the late John Hench, who, at the age of 94, still came into his office at Imagineering each day. His principles of theme park design, character design, and use of color made him a legendary figure, not only for Disney fans but also for students and aficionados of architecture, engineering, and design. Designing Disney reveals the magic behind John’s great discoveries and documents his groundbreaking in several key areas: “Design Philosophy” examines the values, attitudes, aesthetics, and logic that went into the original concepts for Disney theme parks. In “The Art of the Show” and “The Art of Color,” Hench reveals the essence of what makes the parks work so well. And in “The Art of Character,” he lets the reader in on the how and why of the Disney characters’ inherent popularity-their timeless human traits, archetypal shape and gestures that suggest these qualities graphically, and their emotional resonance in our lives. >>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.

I would wait, that’s not a good idea. Travel is how it’s spreading. 0_0
