Disgusting Question, Sorry

[JZCubed]

My child once got sick at Disney World and quicker-than-quick a Cast Member ripped open and threw down a powder over the unsightly vomit.

More recently, a class mate had a similar experience on the school bus, but the driver did not have anything more than a few paper towels to throw over the mess.

I looked online and see many products that seem to do the trick of neutralizing the smell and absorbing the mess so it doesn't 'run' into a larger mess.

For instance, I can understand not wanting to use chemicals near children and some of the enzyme products seem to be what might be considered safer by a layperson.

Since y'all are some of the smartest and experienced people I can contact - do you know which product Disney uses and/or do you have any particular recommendations? And why that particular product?

Thank you.

And sorry about the nature of the question.

What are you asking? Whether Disney uses a product that has been banned for use on school buses because it is not safe to have around children?

I wouldn't let the kids TOUCH it if that's what you mean.

I guess I understand the question but I'm not sure why it's important. To recommend something to the school system? No, I don't know what they use.

When I worked for residence as an RA/Don we had some powder stuff we sprinkled on vomit, it would solidify it and make it easier to clean up. It was a few years ago and I don't remember what it was called But it does exist.

My friend worked for the Tim Horton's Camps and she said they would use coffee! She said it was great at absorbing the odors.

Never mind.

Thank you.

I saw all of those products.

But none are going to let me know which might be safer for use around children or which is just a superior product...and safe around children.

There is no consumer product comparison chart. And maybe I give Disney too much credit, but I figured they've sourced a better product (unlike their burgers).

Some people might already have experience with these products and I was politely phishing for some insight beyond Amazon.

I've seen flight attendants use coffee on airplanes.

And as seen down-Thread, there are many products available.

Part of me wonders why airlines don't use the products.

Part of me is just looking for the best product and/or the safest around children.

Yes, to recommend something to the school system.

Kids on a full school bus had to wait until the bus reached their school - 15 minutes after the incident - before they could get away from the mess. Since the bus was full, children had to remain in their otherwise assigned seats. Those children near the mess became quite uncomfortable themselves, as did all the children from the smell.

I'm not trying to be flip, but would you rather sit next to a ripe batch of flowing vomit or have a safe product that absorbs and neutralizes the smell into one big heap near your child?

Frankly, I'm amazed at the totality of your two comments - one suggesting that children not touch anything, while at the same time your not recognizing the importance of a liquidy mess flowing at the feet of the children with nowhere to go.

How is this about touring the WDW theme parks?

You'd probabaly have better luck reading the customer comments on those Amazon products. Because they've actually used them. The first link I checked said it was 'non toxic'.

I would suggest taking this to the Community Board.

OP, if you have a visit to Disney planned soon, you could just ask a member of the custodial staff what they use. If not, I'd just email the Disney's regular guest comments email address and ask them what they use. I don't think anyone other than a custodial CM is going to know what product Disney has chosen to use.

I have no problem with my Thread being moved.

But handbag, sunscreen, shoes, and many non-touring or theme park questions appear all the time.

Can someone really recommend pain-relievers to another person online?

I'd like to give an analogy about non-toxic.

All natural implies something. Arsenic is all natural.

I have found most Amazon comments are not very useful.

Also, maybe I'm just a bit cynical, but too many of the Amazon comments appear to be folks with a vested interest.

But I really do appreciate your at least providing some insight that was useful.

It has been.

That is a good idea.

Since I'm not in a rush, I could ask Disney via e-mail.

Or, since the end of the school year is the day we are arriving, I might just wait to ask a Cast Member.

Thank you.

I got the feeling that MM truly didn't understand your question or the "why" of your question. It did get a little confusing around the "I can understand not wanting to use chemicals near children" part.


I would think that even the janitorial staff of the school would know something to use. Or calling the school bus people might yield results; they probably are supposed to have stuff on the bus but maybe just didn't that day?


...assigned seats on a bus?...
