Well certainly hope the kids gets well soon, but I only had strep once that I know of when I was in Junior High, went to the doctor several times to get medicine and be checked out and ran a fever for 7 days. He should have been taken to the doctor as soon as the mother thought he might have it, also quite contagious to others I believe so not someone that should be around other people, vacation or not.
I was at Disney with my family and it was pouring rain. Because it was the middle of summer, we had on shorts, t-shirts and flip-flops. We tucked into the main street general store to get out of the rain and do a little shopping. The floor was slippery and I slipped – my feet flew into the air. Grabbed a glass shelf and stopped myself from slamming backwards into the floor, but I did wrench my back out pretty bad. I couldn’t stand upright. Took off my flip flops and went to the counter to purchase something. The clerk/case member told me to put my shoes on immediately. I explained to her that I had just fallen and hurt myself. She told me she would call security and have me thrown out of the park if I didn’t put my flip flops back on. I was horrified! Firstly, she didn’t notice I couldn’t stand upright? That I just said I’d hurt myself? And then she threatened to have me ejected from the park? It was the worst visit I’d ever experienced. Ended up going back to my hotel room, not able to move, and truly not understanding why the cast member acted so callously.
We get sick at Disney World nearly every trip because we go once a year and spend 3 weeks there. My son, now age 5, threw up during every trip since he was born, without exception! He has no other symptoms besides vomiting. Once he threw up at Riviera and I felt really bad about the mess, but the CMs cleaned it up without complaint. Another time, he threw up in bed at midnight. I called Disney for clean sheets so that I could change it myself, but Disney sent a full cart with 2 maid to help me. I took the clean sheets and gave them the dirty ones and a tip and sent them away, but I was impressed that they found 2 maids to help me in the middle of the night, even though I specifically told them I just needed some clean sheets, I would clean it myself.
Other times, somebody almost always catch a cold and start coughing and wheezing. We didn’t need any help for that, just waited till it went away. My baby once got impetigo from the pool, and I was able to buy some antibiotic ointment at Beach Club Marketplace to put on him, and he recovered nicely.
Disney has been very nice and caring over the years, but covid changed things. As I understand it, they now kick you out of your resort if you catch covid. That’s what it says in the room confirmation email. One guy said he was told to move out in one hour, and he had no place to go, so he rented a car and drove back home in California. It’s understandable, but it makes me hesitant to go to WDW anymore. We are vaccinated, but worry about catching it anyway and then Disney kicking us out for catching covid.
I spent a few days in the hospital after having what was diagnosed as a stress induced mini stroke on the Haunted Mansion.
I have visited Walt Disney World annually since I was born in 1974. This trip in 2013 was with 3 of my children.
I had a business conference I was attending during our vacation.
Needless to say the stress began with arriving and a downed system causing us to have our tickets with no meals available for our paid for package.
They offered coupons for the parks but that paled in comparison to our meal plan.
This followed with our room missing a needed mini fridge for medications I take for autoimmune diseases.
Next the TV being broken and being moved on day 2 to a new room which was not handicapped accessible which I need.
This caused added stress on my body, heart.
By the time a package I had ordered in was lost and then I came into the house keeping throwing wet towels on top of my open suitcase. Towels that were not even towels from our room. They had stripes on them and room towels are all white.
I was so overwhelmed being a single mom, with autoimmune diseases, traveling alone with my three children. One child with autism.
It triggered a massive autoimmune attack which entailed heart issues and a mini stroke or TIA .
I will say, the management at the hotel & Disney guest services reacted quickly and amazingly.
While I was in the hospital my daughter who has autism was upset and very upset her new Belle doll was in my car which was in the parking area still.
The resort manager took my 3 children down to the resort shop and gave each of my children $100 to spend. Then sent a massive gift basket to the room and sent food to the room for my children. My son was only 18. Old enough to be with them. But, his sisters I believe were only 9 & 10.
When I got back from the hospital Disney upgraded us to Animal Kingdom Lodge a Savanah View room and gave me tickets that didn’t expire for 20 years to replace the 3 days we lost down there.
They sent chocolate covered strawberries to the room we switched to.
I spent the remainder of the trip in bed mainly. They had wanted to keep me in the hospital but with autoimmune diseases. Sometimes you just need rest out of the hospital to finish recouping.
It was the only time in my 50 plus trips down to Walt Disney World and over 1,000 nights spent on the grounds that I has something like this happen.
But they more than made up for the stress from all of the blunders that triggered the medical issues.
I was taken out of Epcot in an ambulance because of a really bad gall bladder stone. They were the best! They took care of our cab ride back from the hospital and made sure our scooter was returned to our hotel.
We were at Disney last week and was in an accident on one of the rides at Magic kingdom. The parks are awful about handicapped. The ridws arw not handicap friendly and if you use one of their scooters they do not fit in the bathrooms and their cast members were very unkind to me. i was looking forward so much to the trip and it was so dissappointing.
Did you do your research? We have gone multiple times and when getting ready to take an individual that uses a wheelchair for mobility I researched everything. We did not have any issues with accessibility in fact we find it extremely handicap friendly. Also there are companion bathrooms in all the parks and multiple ones that are large enough for a wheelchair and 2 people to assist an individual to utilize the facilities.
I did in April 2016 i was about to have son outside the park they called the nurse my vitals were low so they called and ambulance so i was taken to the nearest Hospital wasn’t able to drive in my car.
Once again, the nasty, unwarranted attacks, the vicious accusations, threats, condemnations, ridicule, bullying and hatred expressed in these comments IS EXACTLY what is wrong in this country and at WDW/DL. ALL the latest fights, spitting, sh/tting in public right aways, screaming, shoving, violence at the parks is from the same kind of people harassing and bullying on this site and ALL others online. Most of you people appear incapable of not only controlling your emotions, thoughts, and behaviors in even the smallest degree in order to function or be a part of civilized society. Sad. The narcissism from the most ignorant, arrogant and socially unacceptable in society is the REAL PLAGUE. STOP YOUR HATRED. STOP BLAMING OTHER HUMANS OR MAKING THEM PAY THE PRICE FOR YOUR PROBLEMS, INSECURITIES AND INADEQUACIES. GET SERIOUS HELP AND CHANGE YOUR BEHAVIOR. LEARN YOU ARE NOT THE SMARTEST, MOST EDUCATED, MOST PERFECT, MOST COURAGEOUS, MOST (ANYTHING) HUMAN WHO EVER LIVED. STAY ON POINT AND TOPIC, AND UNDERSTAND YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO DISAGREE BUT THAT IS IT. YOU DO NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO THREATEN, BULLY, ATTACK, BLAME, OR ACCUSE ANYONE SIMPLY BECAUSE YOU DISAGREE. BECOME AN ADULT. BECOME A HUMAN BEING.

His parents thought their 12 year-old son had “a common cold”, or was it strep? Whatever, let’s go to Disney World! Stupidity reigns!!!
