Greetings, Jenni, and welcome to the planDisney Panel with this important question regarding Covid-19 PCR Testing during your stay at
Walt Disney World Resort.
Jenni, there are many providers of such testing services, and it depends on what suits your needs the best. In speaking with many other Guests, and after having experienced doing such testing myself, I can shed some light on what I have seen, experienced, and read about.
There is a Covid-19 Testing site at the Walt Disney World Maingate Complex. There is no transportation available, you would have to arrange your own transportation to this site. From what I have read, wait times for testing are long, and while some distant views of attractions can be entertaining, PCR Test results can take from 2 to 5 days to return. Other options are private companies that will come to your Disney Resort hotel, but fees can be quite high, and test results make take longer, a quick online search will pull up a variety of services like those.
The site I used during my recent stay was at Orlando International Airport managed by AdventHealth. I set the appointment up well in advance of my arrival through their website without having to pay any advance fees. On the day of my arrival at the testing site in the Terminal, I paid the Covid-19 PCR Testing fee when I checked in. After the test, I was required to wait between 25-30 minutes for my results on paper. At that time, they only provided results on paper and no email results.
Jenni, you can look up various AdventHealth testing locations that are closer to Walt Disney World Resort, such as:
-AdventHealth Centra Care Lake Buena Vista (near Disney Springs), 12500 South Apopka Vineland Road, Orlando, FL 32836,
-AdventHealth Centra Care Orange Lake (near Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge), 8201 W Irlo Bronson Memorial Hwy, Kissimmee, FL 34747.
Jenni, kindly refer to our
