The Orange County Florida Department of Health has issued an official rabies alert in Walt Disney World.
The area under alert is a two-mile radius around the intersection of Epcot Center Drive and Interstate 4. The rabies alert is in effect for 60 days, or until further notice.
According to the official statement, a feral cat caught near the area tested positive for rabies. The statement warns against contact with any animals found in the area, including feral cats, stray dogs, and wild mammals (like raccoons, squirrels, skunks, and coyotes). This is not a time to practice your inner Disney princess skills!

Hope Animal Kingdom has all their various species current on their vaccinations!
No worries. It’s just rabid Disney fans. The foaming at the mouth will stop when their annual passes expire and credit cards max out.
Isn’t that when it starts???
Yes! Your right.
Watch out for the ducks!
