Curious why the Europe one was shut down. Travel to Europe right now or soon is different from travel through most parts
Of America.

Minneapolis, May 1, flying. Just me, no kids. Irresponsible of me to go and maybe bring the virus back to my family? This is a trip I've been looking forward to for months, but I don't want to be stupid.

Wait and see. Reassess in late April. Don't book anything non-refundable.

Totally fine right?


I would ask both of their doctors. If both say it’s ok, then I would probably still do it.


You cannot get away from crowds in NYC. There is no such thing as social distancing if you're walking around the tourist areas. I would not be comfortable traveling there with two high risk family members but to each their own, how risk averse are you?

The risk of catching it is very small. It is more the risk of getting caught up in a precentative quarantine situation. Remember the vast vast number of people traveling internationally everyday are coming home well.

Just drive. We do this trip to see family. It’s not that bad.

I'd say these are a GO. My infectious disease doctor friend said she would avoid travelling to big cities with crowded spaces and has changed her family's spring break trip from Europe to one of these parks.


Depends on the accommodations. Staying on-site? No. Lots of international travelers to these parks. Staying in off park grounds, maybe in a rental somewhere, then I'd go. Use Clorox wipes on the plane.
