Should I cancel my Christmas trip to Disneyworld? Zika

[Anonymous]

It will be me, DH and two small kids. No plans on more kids. Should I cancel? I would rather go skiing anyway but the kids are too young. Plus they are expecting us to go to the house of the mouse

Why exactly would you cancel? I don't see anything in your post that makes me think you have a reason to worry. Wear bugspray and you'll be fine. There aren't a ton of mosquitos there in December.

You're not even pregnant.

You're not pregnant and the kids are not infants right? So go.

Are you planning on having unprotected sex with various married men down in Disneyland and having their babies?

Then no, you don't need to cancel your trip to Disneyworld.

Carry on.

Also of all the places Disney would be the safest since they spray like crazy so people don't get bitten by any mosquitos for any reason.

You should not cancel because zika.

You should cancel because alligators.

I live in Florida. We are back and forth between our Florida home and DC every couple of years. I think it's so funny that people in DC are freaking out over this. It's barely a blip on our local news. People all over Florida are still camping, going to parks, going to beaches, chasing lightening bugs at night. I spent all day at a swampy alligator farm. It was packed. No mention of Zika. If I were pregnant or TTC, I would be more careful. Zika is a non-issue for the majority of people. Seriously, SARS, Ebola, H1N1, ...... Don't y'all get tired of panicking all the time?

I thought Zima was no longer on the market.

Just make sure you're not pregnant.

There is a very small probability of contracting the Guillain-Barre syndrome, which is pretty nasty.
But given it will be December, I think you're going during the off-season for mosquitoes

There are still mosquitoes in December. It's Florida. We don't ever get cold enough to kill off bugs.

I am in Orlando every November. I have never been bitten by a mosquito there. You'll be fine. Even if you were pregnant and traveling at that time, I'd tell you'd be fine (unless, as PP indicated, you intended on having unprotected sex with a lot of random men).

I think they spray like mad at WDW - I've never seen a bug.
