They’re called restrooms. They have sinks in them with soap and water.the hand washing stations should have been replaced by permanent ones,

In almost 30 years of going to WDW I’ve never had a problem washing my hands.yes and are usually jam packed so even getting to a sink is challenging
Right & ppl should continue to adhere to not touching their faces or mouths. I’ve never understood the obsession with sanitizer in all this. I wash my hands well before I eat & otherwise keep my hands out of mouth & face. I did this way before Covid.In almost 30 years of going to WDW I’ve never had a problem washing my hands.
Agreed. I prefer all the helpful safety protocols in place that we can get. But temp checks don't seem very effective IMO.
Im not too sure Branson, Missouri has its finger on the pulse of up to date COVID protocols.
Their restroom sinks are horrible. As I posted earlier, on a crowd level 8 day I had multiple experiences of restroom sinks at Magic Kingdom where, at best, you could get a trickle of water. Also the restrooms arent as widely displaced as the handwashing stations could be. Putting more handwashing stations around the park will encourage handwashing. If you don't want to use them, you don't have to, but there are people who definitely will, especially after coming off of a ride where they've had to touch a lot of surfaces but without wanting to have to walk all the way to one of the bathrooms. There is no downside to it except for the modest cost.They’re called restrooms. They have sinks in them with soap and water.

Its not just Silver Dollar City, its also Dolly wood and Wild Adventures in GA they are under the same owner.
It’s valid in that more places that loosen gives other places a place to watch and see how it goes.yeah that’s not helping the argument

I am a bit concerned because I normally run a little warm (98.9, 99.0, etc) add that with pre menopause where I spike a fever and hot weather ( I am from west Texas where the sun is not forgiving and I do register a fever if I have been out for a period of time)
I did read there are cool off stations and rechecks, can anyone confirm? I work at an elementary school where we are doing temp checks and man it has not been fun for me. When my family (total of 6) got Covid back in January 3 of us spiked fevers, 3 never did. So I agree that temp checks might not be the way to go.
I'm nervous about this too. My teen son has always run warm - about the same as you. And he gets overheated very easy. He's been known to throw up after doing a lot of strenuous activity in the sun as well. I've never checked his temp when that's happened but I wouldn't be surprised if it was a bit higher. Not that he's every thrown up at Disney (it's usually after some type of sporting activity in the extreme heat) but I'm definitely nervous about the temp checks especially when we may be hopping later in the day when he's more likely to be overheated. We'll be there mid June so I'm really hoping the temp checks are gone by then!
My first post Covid visit was last July. I rode the Skyliner over to Epcot the first day, and did not pass the first temp reading (I am a woman of a certain age as well). I was sent to a nearby tent with a fan (no AC) and ice cold water to drink. I sat in there for about fifteen minutes, drinking the water, and they came and checked me again and I passed and was allowed in. I had taken my temp with an oral thermometer before leaving my room, and my temp was normal, so I knew I did not have a fever.I am a bit concerned because I normally run a little warm (98.9, 99.0, etc) add that with pre menopause where I spike a fever and hot weather ( I am from west Texas where the sun is not forgiving and I do register a fever if I have been out for a period of time)

I agree that they will probably find a way to end them by summer. Some ppl keep citing that they already did them last summer. But I wonder if they know they had a lot of issues like your situation last summer . Plus it’s more crowded now so more ppl will be waiting in the sun longer.My first post Covid visit was last July.

I did not have any issues the remainder of that trip, or for my ten day August trip. But I worried about it every day.
