Stomach bug/food poisoning , anyone?

[Mogomom]

Anyone else come down with a severe stomach bug or food poisoning this week? My kids were there (Contemporary) this past Sunday to yesterday, and both got hit with something late Thursday night. It was so bad they couldn't home yesterday , and Disney wanted $900 for an extra night in the wing!!! We didn't even pay close to that to begin with. Just trying to figure out if it was bug or something they both ate!

Don't think they'll get the answer to the how question but as for $900- that's Disney policy, or at least it was in my experience a couple years back when the airline cancelled my flight. If you need another night last minute and there is availability- rack rate or get out. The only exception to that is hurricanes and even then its a case by case situation with the front desk.

Yea, they have certainly gotten worse with customer service. I called and explained that my kids were there (18 and 21) and both violently ill, so can we please extend another night at the $530 rate we paid. No way were they able to get on a plane in that condition. Besides the 900 , I was told they would have to check out of the room at 11am and wait for a new room at 4pm. Absolutely ridiculous. It's dead of January , I know they have rooms! Thx for the hospitality, Walt!

We just got home... Disney Springs and the restaurants/bars were empty. However, I heard there are dance teams and cheerleaders competing starting this weekend, so maybe the resorts are full? It's ridiculous, though; they should have extended the room and rate to your kids. If they needed proof, just tell them to go check in on the kids and let Disney SEE (and smell, and hear) how sick they are!

What hotel did you move your kids to?

That's awful.
We went Friday to Monday last weekend and didn't get sick but we stayed at WL and only visited HS and MK. I also sanitized our hands after each ride and wiped all the high touch places in our room: door knobs, faucets, flush lever, remote control, etc. We also washed with soap and water before meals.
Unless your kids are germaphobes, they probably didn't do all of this. I know I wouldn't have when I was their age.
