After Orange County Health officials declared temperature checks were a "waste of resources" last week, Disney has now updated it's COVID-19 section of their website declaring they will be scrapping taking the temperature of guests starting May 16th.
From the very beginning of our phased reopening, we have considered guidance from public health authorities, appropriate government agencies, and our own team of health and safety experts as we assess and update health and safety measures to help prevent the spread of COVID-19. As this guidance continues to evolve, and with the support of local health and government officials, we are making some additional adjustments. Following the advice of the CDC and our local health officials, we will phase out onsite temperature screenings at Walt Disney World Resort for Cast Members beginning May 8 and Guests on May 16.
