Bed Bud Reminder! **PHOTO Added**

[KaraKW]

Hi, there!

A few years ago, my DH and I had a disgusting bedbug encounter at BWV. It made such a long-lasting mental scar that to this day, I still check the bed and surrounding area meticulously before I bring any luggage into the room.

Just a friendly reminder to all of my fellow summer travelers to keep your eyes open!!!! As much as we wish it weren't so, it CAN -- and HAS -- happened at WDW!

Here's to a happy and bug-free summer!!!

If you do a search of the resorts board you will find a thread about this from several weeks ago with pictures.

Here is a helpful website that tells you what to watch out for...BedBug Info

I would think that WDW does everything in it's power to avoid "bed bugs". Not saying that it couldn't happen , but if it did it would be a rare occasion and would be taken care of quickly. It could do a lot of damage to their image otherwise. JMOP

What do you do to keep them away at home?

 

[AdventureGuru]

ok I'm still a little grossed out...but as long as disney does what it can...I guess I cant ask for anything else right?
