Rats have been an issue for a while I think @rael ramone has a pic in his avatar

People go to a place built in the middle of a giant swamp, in the middle of a sub tropical state that has been home to all manner of critters for hundreds of thousands of years, and they're surprised when they see wildlife.

AAH, if there only were White Castle restaurants in Florida...

There is, they’re called Krystal

Back in February, a rat ran from the back kitchen of La Hacienda de San Angel (the reteraunt in Mexico) to the front door and back to the kitchen area, where it then ran out to the World Showcase lagoon. My group and I got three free nights at a moderate and three free fast passes for three separate days. We basically got three free days at Disney.

I’m super curious..What exactly did you say to guest services?

This viral marketing for the Ratatouille ride is getting out of hand. And is also in the wrong park.

Rats are everywhere, so it's not shocking they're in the parks, either. Anytime there's food or garbage or fruit or veggies, there's going to be rodents.

I actually have never seen a rat in all the visits I've had to WDW, but I always assumed they were there. The cats probably do a good job of cutting down the population as well as other methods Disney uses.

I stumbled across these videos on YT recently (before this story) of rodent sightings at AK and EPCOT.

I’m guessing it began “Hello my name is Katiebug and I am not happy.”

I saw a dead one in the queue for Jungle Cruise once. Cast Members were trying to direct people around it without calling attention it while waiting for custodial staff to show up.

Yeah about 160 million years.... give or take a day.

What the heck do you think they said?

“Hey, I saw a disgusting rat in the kitchen”

Maybe more snakes in the park would help with the rats.

I don't believe it - a Disney executive in the park - with guests?

Sorry had to do it.

“Disney violated its duty to keep its park clean and safe by allowing conditions to get to the point where rats were inhabiting the park and were even bold enough to come out openly, among people,” read the lawsuit filed March 19.

Hope FL Department of Health finds out about this and fines Disney.

I assume the guy was American?

Ah, nostalgic memories of rodent experiences...

1. Odyssey restaurant, in the window box in 1992 (this was a mouse, actually),
2. Magic Kingdom, falling out a tree next to the castle (Liberty Square side),
3. Near Imagination, falling out of a tree,
4. Speedway gas station (near Hollywood Studios), across my feet (a limo driver watched the whole thing like a TV show and told us it was Mickey Mouse),
5. Animal Kingdom, in front of the Tusker House,
6. Near Imagination, in front of the bathrooms...

but it really isn't Disney's fault. Two rats have fallen out of the sky in my backyard, which I assume falcons dropped. Oh! And then there was the time I watched a snake chase a rat across my fence like a Tom and Jerry cartoon. As long as they are not venomous, I have grown to like snakes quite a bit, actually. Seriously, though, I feel terrible for the man who got bit by a rat.

Seriously, there’s been so many threads that make me think I should have complained about the snake in our room at Poly. I had no idea that guests received free nights because of that stuff.

I am not entirely certain how, but I am positive that this is Bob Iger's fault.

Right after they fine you guys for leaving your trash layng around, causing a safety concern.

This is unfortunately all too common - people suing for any little thing they can. I am going to guess this one gets thrown out of court. Sucks it happened for the two people, but it had nothing to with Disney being negligent - there's no possible way Disney can be held responsible for controlling rodents in a giant park that also happens to be outside. This is pretty much the equivalent of someone suing Disney for getting stung by a bee or wasp or getting bit from a mosquito on property.
