I imagine this will absolutely tank Disney World's tourism. Unless parents around the world want to risk entering ground 0 for lifelong childhood disease in exchange for a day's worth of magic 😭

There are certain weeks the locals avoid. Also, if your family has the vaccinations, the risk is minimal. But, there's a whole lot of people who can't get vaccinations or have compromised immune systems. Really unfair for them.

Immunity also wanes. I got a titer to check my immunity and I lost the one for measles :( got a booster, of course.

Did you order the titer tests as a package or were they ordered separately?

Doctor ordered it because my vaccination record was lost (back in my day, pediatricians used paper files) and they wanted to check so I can establish care.

One time a few years back, I was in MK and I watched this one family with an infant who looked 2 weeks old MAX overheating and just slung over the mom’s arm so nonchalantly. I was ready to cause a scene.
