The Three Little Pigs may not be afraid of the Big Bad Wolf, but some folks are raising concerns about contracting swine flu at destination theme parks such as Walt Disney World. A recent New York Times article cited parks' large crowds, guests from around the world, and high-touch encounters between visitors and costumed characters as "the perfect petri dishes for the H1N1 virus." Most parks, including Disney World, are taking precautions such as installing hand sanitizers and offering employees free flu shots. What do you think? Would you steer clear of theme parks to avoid the risks of flu transmission? Or is the threat overblown? Take the poll.
