Sick at the World

[luv]

Haha! I made it to MK and Epcot yesterday. I was able to eat some trail mix for breakfast, potato and leek soup from BOG for lunch, and a little bit of french onion soup and mac and cheese from Chefs de France. I wasn't able to eat anything at the dessert party or go on anything but slow rides, but I'll go into detail in my TR! We just got home about 45 minutes ago and DH is out getting me some soup.

Sounds like you picked a winner for a DH!

Glad it wasn't a total bust and will check put the TR!

Fair play, that cracked me up! I just read it out to my daughter and there was another round, thanks for that

Glad you and your daughter got a laugh. It's possible to have fun at WDW even when the wife finds me "less than amusing".

I got real sick one time on my trip. I just felt really sick and my throat hurt so bad I couldn't swallow anything.
I went to the Urgent Care and the doctor asked me if I was around anyone with strep. I laughed and said I was at Disney World, i have been exposed to everything.
Turned out i did not have strep but he gave me antibiotics and because I was on a vacation, he gave me steroids. He said they would perk me right up. lol.

Since it's Florida I'm surprised that he didn't throw in some OxyContin, Vicodin, Lortabs, Percodan, Percocet and Tylox.

Just kidding Floridians, I know that your state government is working tirelessly to shut down the "pill mills".

It happened twice.

First time:
I woke up one day and did not fell very good, but hey we are WDW so lets get out there and have a great day anyway. We all get on the bus to Epcot. We get there and pick-up a wheelchair for my mother in law since she was with us on this trip. I am now starting to feel worse. We head past SSE and head over towards MS & TT. Just as get by the entrance to Mouse Gears I feel like I am going to vomit so I look at my family and say I am going back to the room. I get on the bus and now I am getting very nervous about making it. My stomach is turning and it was not a good feeling. We get to SSR and I run up to the room and it was not pretty. I had it coming from both ends for 2 days and I couldn't even sleep in fear of having a accident. It was absolutely horrible. The kicker is I have never in my life ever had any sort of stomach virus. I always have had an Iron stomach.

Back story to this starts when I took my daughter to the GF resort to do the Pirates adventure cruise. She met another girl her age there while we were waiting who became her adventure mate. I was talking to her mother and grandmother passing the time for them to shove off and they were talking about her husband who had just gotten very sick with a stomach bug and has been stuck in the room for 2 days. Three days later I am sick and locked in the room for 2 days.

Second time:
Staying @ OKW and we are nearing the end of our trip. I wake up in the morning and something is irritating my eye every time I blink. So I tough it out and we head over to the MK. We get there and it is getting so bad that I cannot take the pain and we head to First Aid. The nurse looks in the eye and she thinks she sees a piece of glass in my cornea so they tell me I have to go to Centra Care and have it checked out. Now my medical insurance cards are in the room back at the resort so she calls me a van to transport back to OKW so I can get my card. I eventually get to Centra Care and they indeed find a piece of glass in my cornea that they remove and then put a patch over my eye which I have to wear for 2 days. Now I leave in 2 days so I stumble around WDW with just one eye. If you are not used to this it is really tough. My loss of depth perception and the ability to see people on my right side kept me bumping into people and shockingly people were not kind if I did bump into them. Our last day in WDW I had to go get my eye checked out. Checkout time in OKW is 11:00 firm which is a DVC rule, but I needed to leave my wife and daughter behind while the Centra Care van picked me up and I went back for the check-up (we had no rental car). So I called the front desk and asked for a possible late checkout since I was dependent on Centra Care to transport me. They said no. I asked for the manager and the manager apparently could not talk to me at that time. I then went to the front desk and again I asked a CM and was told no, so I talked to the manager and she also said no to the late check out and handed me a business card to there legal department if I wanted to file a lawsuit. The disappointing part is that it was technically Disney's fault since the glass came from the bedding but all I wanted was an extra hour so my family could be comfortable in the room and not hang out in the lobby. I threw the card at her and told my family to stay in the room anyway until I got back. I got back a few minutes late and we left OKW.

Keep the food on the light side. Glad you got out of your hotel room and got to ride some slow rides!

Wow, that's insane! I can't believe OKW would act that way in such extenuating circumstances! That really blows my mind! I'm used to seeing people here talking about how everyone went above and beyond to make them comfortable.

I've traveled to WDW with little colds from time to time, but on the flights home (the one time I don't have a non-stop flight!) I had the most horrible pressure and pain in my ears. They wouldn't pop, and I was crying the pain was so bad...luckily my ear drums didn't burst! Be very careful when flying and suffering from a cold or flu.

I know! It feels like someone is stabbing knives in your ears. You just want to die. I sympathize.

 

[Tinkwings]

Oooh yes...it happened on our longest trip 9 days...and looking back I sure am thankful it WAS a longer trip....3/4 of us were down 2 days with fever and cough and DH took boys to urgent care, they had bronchitis. I was not as bad and did not require much but after those antibiotics kicked in? We were good to go. I enjoyed laying in bed listening to waterfall outside my window at the WL.....not that magical but it was comforting!!! The first day we went back we took it easy....I was perfectly content to just sit at a picnic table on TSI while the kids ran around....just to be there!!!!
Never had food poisining but God Bless and hang in there...

You aren't the only one who was shocked. It is however in the contract for DVC member that you cannot have a late check out which I do understand. Under these circumstances they should have made an exception and did not.

Here is another crazy story that I have posted a few times over the years in various threads.

I also had another bad situation @ OKW. I checked in and we went to our room, opened the door and almost passed out from this horrible smell. I found the smell coming from under the refrigerator and the previous guest must have dumped a lot of milk and it soaked into the carpet and released this lovely odor. So I open the balcony door and front door to let it air out while I carry up our bags. After about a half hour the smell is no better so I call the front desk and the phone keeps cutting out so I really cannot have a conversation with them. So my daughter and I leave the room to go to dinner @ Chef Mickey's and I stop by the front desk to now complain about the smell and the phone not working. So I asked at the front desk if I can change rooms so they can properly clean my room. I am told that it is not possible since that are fully booked and they would send housekeeping to the room to take care of the problem. So we go to leave for dinner and I forget my wallet and go back to the room to where I see housekeeping exiting already. We walk up to the room and she had dusted the floor with a scented powder that was even worse so I grab my wallet and back to the front desk to again complain. I was told they would see if there was something they could do and they told me to stop back at the desk after dinner to see if they had any cancellations to find me another room. We come back from dinner and pull up to the Port Corchere and I get out of the vehicle and a bellman comes up and calls me by my last name and proceeds to tell me that another guest was checked into my room when I was not there and that guest had bell services remove all of my stuff. How this is possible? I do not know, but it happened. I had money and all my cameras out on the table and ended up $100 short and a broken camera. Nothing was done and that was my last visit to OKW. I flipped out on the manager and told her I wanted out of OKW because I cannot trust there security policy if they are checking in other guests into my room and unfortunately I feel the bellman was fired because he gave me too much info and the manager was ed that I knew what had happened. This was 2 days before Thanksgiving day and she said there were no rooms available on WDW property. This went on for about 18 hours and I kept checking with the front desk to see if they found me a room which they kept saying there was no availability and if they cannot get a room that there is nothing available. Finally I call CRO and booked my own room @ CBR, went to the front desk and handed to manager my reservation number and told her to take care of my bill. They did give me my DVC points back and covered the cost of my CBR room for 3 days until I moved on to my BCV room for our second week in WDW.

The only problem I have ever had with CM's @ WDW was OKW. It is a shame because we all loved the resort. I do believe that they were under a lot pressure with the Thanksgiving holiday and being @ 100% capacity has got to be a nightmare for a hotel when a problem with a room arises or the mistake of overbooking occurs. Still they did not handle it correct and they should never have let another guest into my room. They could have easily took all of my money, cameras, laptop and other valuables.
