from the Orlando Sentinal
Walt Disney World, Universal Orlando and SeaWorld Entertainment will start distributing free insect repellent Sunday, as the threat of mosquito-borne Zika comes increasingly close to Orlando.
Disney will have various types of mosquito repellent at its theme parks, Disney Springs and the ESPN Wide World of Sports complex. Hotel rooms will also have aerosol bug spray. The resort will have signs informing people they can get the protection.
"In an abundance of caution, we are accelerating preventative efforts throughout our property, including providing complimentary insect repellent to our Guests along with helpful guidelines from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention," Disney said in an emailed statement.

That is awesome. Since the mosquito is the Florida state bird and all. I wonder if they are doing aerial sprayings?

We're here now, and brought some with us. Like usual though, we've seen very few bugs.
