I I have no plans to take bug spray this summer based on our experience last year.
They put up a rope fence to prevent any possible harm.What kind of signage is/has Disney erected in the last few months to warn the guest of possible pests containing Zika virus?
After the way Disney made their crocodilian characters disappear lately this guy is praying there are no Zika cases at WDW.

From my understanding, if infected, the birth defects could be apparent for 5 years? That info could have changed as this is what I was advised initially (from I have kids, it will be in the next 5 years) so we changed our plans to visit Mexico and we're doing NYC instead.As someone who just moved to southern Louisiana.... I don't think there's any more threat there than back home. So I'm not too concerned. I'm not planning on kids for another two years+ anyway.

No one knows at this point, and the evidence, in my mind, doesn't prove that Zika is even the problem. But again, definitely do your own research and do whatever makes you comfortable.

Whoa. "Lies"??? I wasn't aware that having an opinion could be a "lie". You don't know me or my credentials. And, by the way, no one needs "credentials" to read all of the information and draw their own conclusions, as I suggested that people do twice. I never gave anyone advice other than to do their own research. You are beyond out of line here.I'm commenting because I feel like it is harmful for you to be spreading lies. "In your mind"? What credentials do you have to make that claim? If you cannot believe the CDC, who can you believe? Is there a DEET Lobby that I am not aware of? What benefit would the CDC have to fabricate this?

The mosquitoes are all over South/Central America, the Caribbean. Is it not only a matter of time before they make it to the mainland? I think it is foolish to think that will not be the case. And maybe Disney has impeccable pest control. But I also think it is inappropriate for pediatricians/OBGYNs to be assessing the risk/likelihood of getting bitten. That is not their area of expertise, unless they moonlight as entomologists.
I noticed the same. Local and over the last couple years never had noticed mosquitos in the parks before but in the last couple months I've really had a problem with them. Some bad spots were waiting for fireworks near 50's in HS and waiting near the bathrooms/kids' play area outside Splash. Both were in the evening so I'm not sure if that's the issue, if Disney is spending less money on treatments, mosquitos are becoming more immune to the treatments, or my body composition is changing to attract them? Could be anything but I'd say it couldn't hurt to bring one package of bug spray/wipes just in case.You may want to rethink this. I've been to Disney countless times and have never been bitten...until last month. Didn't even pack hydrocortisone cream because we've never needed it there. Ended up having to buy it at Riverside's gift shop due to my kids and MIL having so many bites. This was our fourth stay at Riverside and the first time I've ever noticed mosquitos.
