Not-So-Magical Stomach Bug

[Trixi Mouse]

Here we are - just past the halfway mark of a glorious trip to mark our DS's 5th Birthday. The landmark 44 inches to get on the Big Kid rides has been reached, songs have been sung, characters have been met and it's been a super fun and exhausting trip thus far.
Yesterday DS started getting cranky with a capitol C. He felt SUPER hot on the bus ride to Disney Springs and was just not in a Disney mood at all. At bedtime, he was out in seconds. At around midnight he started getting fussy, tossing and turning. At 2 a.m., he started hurling. A few hours later, the Fast Passes for Animal Kingdom day were cancelled (you're welcome to whatever trio scored the last minute passes to FOP today). And here we sit, in a lovely room-with-a-view listening to the sounds of the wind blowing through the bamboo thickets at OKW and a vomiting child. Could be worse. Any day at Disney is better than a day at home.

Now - to try and strategize a Rope Drop trip to Animal Kingdom for our travel day home. Might as well make that last day a fun one FOP, I have my sights on you!

So sorry to here this happened on your trip! We had the same thing occur during our yearly beach trip this summer. It ripped through our entire family person by person. Kids seemed to be more resilient. Our daughter was good to go 36 hours later. For us adults we had an entire day in bed and very slow moving for 3-4 days after that. Good luck!

So sorry for you guys and especially your little guy! Hopefully it’s just a 24 hour thing!

I hope your son recovers quickly and you can enjoy the rest of your time!!

I’m so sorry! I hope your son feels better soon.

Thanks, all! He's had a bad day of it, but seems to be starting to rally. Let's hope mom & dad are able to hold it off for the remainder of our trip. He's gotten a lot of sympathy, stickers and balloon figures from the Cast Members here

If all goes well, we will hit AK early Tuesday, enjoy a few hours at the park and then be able to hop on the afternoon Magical Express for our flight.
