My wife and I just returned home from 8 nights at AKL. I had something happen that obviously no one expects to happen; at the end of my trip I got very sick.
Late Tuesday/Early Wednesday while in bed, I began to feel really awful. The next morning I couldn't get out of bed. My wife and I had already planned a day of rest, so she headed to the pool while I slept. I was in bed the entire day. I finally got up around 5 p.m. and thought I might feel OK for our meal at Boma to celebrate our anniversary. I wasn't. After about 3 bites of Prime Rib, all I could do is watch my wife eat. I finally had to leave during dessert and return to our room. (Those turned out to be the most expensive bites of Prime Rib I've ever eaten.)
When I got back to the room I felt even worse. My wife started to worry since I seemed to be running a temperature. She went to the lobby gift shop to see if they had a thermometer. They didn't, but said that if I was ill they would call the paramedics to look me over. My wife was concerned that I might have heat exhaustion (from the previous 6 days in the parks).
Within a few minutes, the security manager, the duty manager, and 2 paramedics were in my room checking me over. They ruled out anything that required more drastic medical care and made sure I knew what to do to aid recovery. (They thought I had a virus coupled with dehydration.)
There was no charge for any of this medical attention and even though I was a bit to delirious to appreciate everything at the time, it really made me feel much more cared for than I would have expected.
The next morning--today--our checkout day, I felt much better. When I got up, in addition to our bill, we found an Anniversary card from Mickey and Minnie. It was a nice touch to offset the rather unpleasant conclusion to our anniversary vacation.
The Disney people we met that last evening were very nice and professional and a credit to the organization.
