Any chance of refined?

Thankfully, as a litigator and my wife being an RN they had a snowballs chance in you know where trying to talk their way out of claiming any responsibility from their food.

Not trying to be a jerk, but if you're a litigator (attorney I assume?), your wife is an RN, AND you've been down this "nearly identical" road before (with obvious interface with Disney and what sounds like a favorable outcome), why are you here asking us for advice on what your odds might be in obtaining a refund or other compensation this nearly identical second time around?

It’s our last day, who do I contact?

I suggest you contact the same department you successfully contacted last time you allegedly got food poisoning regarding your question.

I think someone might have over-flexed with the litigator and RN comment.

Always look for insight from those more knowledgeable on a subject (DVC). First time was far before either of us were at our current career paths my friend.

Disney does keep files for Guest Recovery…

I would think if you called the ticketing department, they would credit your unused days if you explained the situation. Doubt dvc would do anything ab the points though! What a bummer.

Food poisoning shouldn’t last 4 days as you described, usually no longer than 24 hours unless severe, and that would land you in the ER with extreme symptoms needing medical treatment. I think more than likely it was coincidental timing of having ate at the restaurant since you can also get norovirus via food/hand entry and the illness courses are similar, but norovirus is more common when traveling and longer duration of symptoms, ab 48 hrs.

But since your wife is an RN and you guys truly suspected food poisoning, that should be reported to the local health department to investigate restaurant food prep to prevent an outbreak. Much info on cdc website regarding this. The one time my family got food poisoning it was awful but short lived (ab 8 hrs) and we notified health department.

Ok now I’m really dying to hear how this conversation goes.

I would agree that Disney could, and should, credit you the remaining (or full amount) of days on your ticket. But if you were staying at DVC on rented points, I don't see any way that you can be compensated for that.

Not to "victim-blame", but if it's food poisoning at a restaurant, it's almost never everyone in the party. Unless, as BrianL said, you have unbelievably bad luck and everyone happened to eat or share the exact same contaminated food item. Reports of Disney restaurants causing food poisoning are very rare as it is, so I would say it's EXTREMELY unlikely that more than one item/ingredient was the problem. Which makes the viral GI issue more likely, and therefore makes it less likely that it was Disney's fault.
