If you think the same thing can't happen in one of their more expensive Resorts you're kidding yourself.

And you're seriously telling people to have them spray the room before they even see it?

Water bugs and cockroaches look alike but water bugs are worse. I'd rather take my chance with one though than to have my children inhale the pest spray. But yes, they can happen in any resort.

It doesn't matter what resort though, we have had roaches/bugs in our Riverside room before. We also have never had a bug/roach in any of our All-Star Sports room stays. I remember one bug in our AOA room, but it wasn't a roach.

We have stayed at all levels. The only place we have encountered a roach...ahem....palmetto bug...was club level at Beach Club. So yeah, it's not limited to value resorts.

I my opinion "Infested Conditions" seems a little extreme.

Certainly not a good thing and not a magical experience for you but IT IS FLORIDA... tons of bugs. I'm surprised more of us don't see them. I've never encountered a roach anywhere and I've stayed at all levels. Anywhere at Disney I mean. I've stayed at All Star Music, all three moderates, Poly, Contemporary, Beach and Yacht Club, Grand Floridian, Wilderness Lodge and Animal Kingdom Lodge. Oh, and Old Key West Resort. No buggies !

I'd have to agree with dansdad that I don't think I'd call this an infestation. It's Florida and just about all of the resorts can easily get bugs, but ones that open to the outside seem even more prone to them. Hopefully, they addressed the issue when you mentioned it to them, but that's really about all I would expect.

Agree-We are staying right next door in Surf's Up! and haven't seen the first bug of any kind or maybe we are just to the outside of the Infestation Zone!lol

First just yuck, I feel ya, I hate the things. But, like others have mentioned you are going to see them at all the resorts, it just can't be helped. Did they take care of it when you called them? That's more important for me then the fact that they were there. Heck, if my son is with me I just have him take care of it but can't stand to squish them, I don't like the crunch sound and I'd much rather have a roach then those darn flying ones they have there. You can't get away from them when they fly, that's an unfair advantage.

I paid $96.00 a night at All Star Sports Center court building during my recent 4th of July long weekend stay. Since we had planned the trip spontaneously and were on a budget, my daughter insisted we stay there. Now, I'm a resort snob, however I agreed with her and gave in. Unfortunately, the minute I walked into the room I saw a tiny roach crawling on the bathroom sink, few minutes later saw one crawling on the wall and finally one in the tub. "I'm from Miami, born and raised in Florida. I know a roach when I see one," is what I told Guest Services when they attempted to make be believe it was a "swamp bug!"

If you stay there, make sure you ask them to have pest control spray the room!!!!

And remember "you get what you pay for!!!!"

As some born and raised in FL surely you know they are just part of life in FL. I'm not a fan of Value resorts but you are way off base to suggest they are bug infested because they are cheaper resorts.

Warning: do not click the OP's link to Miami News if the sight of bugs makes you freak out.

Yeah, people sometimes call them Water Bugs or Palmetto Bugs as if that makes them any better. Palmetto Bugs are a type of cockroach anyway. I wouldn't want to see any insects living in my hotel room, whether it's a cockroach or something else.

It's July. I hate the sight of a small roach, too, but it's July. I haven't seen them in a long time at my house and now all of a sudden every bug in creation seems to be emerging. We spray our home, perimeter and treat our yard. They still get in.

We had a bug in our WL room in February...my fault, didn't close the balcony door. No big deal.

At OKW I had one of those little lizards show up while I was in the shower. Scared my half to death because I didn't have my glasses on and he was just a blurry thing moving across the shower. Still not a big deal once my heart rate slowed down.

FWIW, the only place I have had bug issues was Coronado. We have a TON of value stays under our belts and no issues. It's not based on cheaper accommodations... it's just based on it being Florida. Which you should know.

I agree-looks like I was wrong,but I was hoping all the stereotypes about the Values would end when they finally added Indoor Plumbing earlier this year.

Funny, but I find the (comparative) lack of bugs on Disney property concerning. As others have said, bugs are everywhere in Florida. Except many, many fewer on WDW property. It makes you wonder just how much pesticide they are using, because it's clearly effective (again, compared to outside WDW).

Give me a break. Florida, you find a bug and then come here to whine... 8-(

On LWTL,they talk about their use of "natural" methods such as the use of Ladybugs,etc. also.
