Wow!!! I can’t believe this thread is still going
I feel like people are still misunderstanding. I was not looking for pixie dust. I went back to my original post and nowhere does it say that. Did I say pixie dust in a follow up comment? I’m too tired to go look. I don’t recall saying that and if I did it was not meant in that context but it for sure was not in my initial post. What I was *asking* is whether it would be worth it to contact Disney to get my daughter’s ticket and LL refunded. Perhaps people read it as *all* of our tickets? Here’s what I said:
**********************************************************
The next day she missed an entire day at Magic Kingdom. It was our last day and my Mom (her grandmother’s) first trip to Disney. Because she was so sick, the remaining 3 of us took turns going to the park. Needless to say, our trip ended on a far from magical note.
Is it worth contacting Disney to see if they can do anything?
My daughter lost a full day as well as the mine train ride I paid for. The rest of us got small shifts at the park I don’t know exactly what I’m looking for but if we get sick on Disney’s food, we shouldn’t have to pay for a day in the park we couldn’t use as well. But I have a feeling we’re out of luck. It just really sucks.
*******************************************************
By saying “having to pay for a day in the park” I don’t mean all of us. I was referring to my daughter’s day in the park that SHE did not use and I was ASKING if ANYONE had ever contacted Disney in a similar situation. (Getting park tickets refunded). Perhaps my bringing up the food is what’s ticking everyone off? Even though I admitted in the OP I have no proof?
Emotions play very little in this. I brought up the stress and sadness parts because people were judging me because I didn’t call guest services or whatever people thought I should have done, but didn’t. Of course I’m sad about it, but I’m not asking for Disney to pay for my sadness. That’s ridiculous.
By the way, someone insinuated I should be embarrassed over my daughters vomit. I was. Thanks pointing it out. Horrified actually. The thing is, I can simultaneously be embarrassed and horrified while trying to figure stuff out. I’m pretty flexible like that. And I paid generously for the cleaning. And left a note. And told the front desk. And apologized.
Some of you are still going to want to make me into an entitled monster because that’s how message board are. I’m ok wit that. Great!
On the other hand, good news!! Guest services did respond an hour or so ago and I am more than satisfied with the outcome which I will NOT share here. Interesting that I almost said word for word what I said in my initial post. And they were very understanding. It restored my faith in Disney and humanity in general.
Happy New Year!
