Getting sick at Disney World is a real possibility, and no one wants to spend their trip sniffling through Space Mountain or stuck in bed with a fever. Between the crowds, germs, and Florida heat, a lot's stacked against your immune system. Let's dive into eight essential rules we follow to avoid getting ill during our Disney adventures. Some might seem a bit over-the-top, but they could save your vacation.
**1. Wear a mask at the airport and on planes.**
Flying exposes you to recycled air that's full of germs, so wearing a mask helps ensure you don't catch something right before a big day at the park.
**2. Use hand sanitizer constantly.**
Disney is a germ hotspot. After touching a ride or menu, remember to sanitize. Little ones especially can pick up germs quickly.
**3. Wipe everything down with sanitizing wipes.**
When you enter your hotel or sit at a restaurant, wipe down frequently touched surfaces. Disney cleans a lot, but it never hurts to be extra cautious.
**4. Wash your hands thoroughly and often.**
Hand sanitizer is handy but doesn’t replace the power of soap and water. Make it a habit before meals and after bathroom breaks.
**5. Stay hydrated.**
Florida heat can sneak up on you, leaving you feeling sick. A refillable water bottle, potentially with electrolytes, can make a huge difference.
**6. Boost your immunity before the trip.**
Start taking vitamin C or immunity boosters a week before your trip to ensure your immune system is in top shape.
**7. Prepare for motion sickness.**
Some rides are unexpectedly intense. Packing motion sickness remedies can be a lifesaver.
**8. Limit interactions before your trip.**
Reducing exposure to large groups before your vacation can help minimize your chances of catching something.
While these steps may seem excessive, a healthy trip is worth the extra precautions. Do you have any special tips for staying healthy at Disney World? Share them in the comments!
