Let me preface this by saying that my wife and I are both physicians and we both happen to be intimately familiar with bed bugs. Approximately six or seven years ago we had a light infestestation in our north jersey apartment. We know that they were bed bugs as I caught and positively identified several of the little critters. So we know the bites well. We went through considerable expense and effort to eradicate this light infestation. Fast forward to today. We enjoy going to Disney as a family
with the grandparents who are vacation club members. We go almost every year. On this trip I awoke on the second day with several bites on my arm. These were in the typical cluster of bites with central punctures that are seen with bed bugs. At first I dismissed it as a mosquito in the room but I was suspicious. The next morning I awoke with clusters of bites on my ankles and tops of my feet. I also had a cluster on my lower back. I know these itchy bites well from my previous encounter several years ago. Why my wife and kids didn't get bitten, I'm not sure. My I produce more CO2, which attracts biting insects like Mosquitos and bed bugs, then they do? Maybe I'm tastier. Maybe just coincidence. Who knows. Now We just returned home tonight and the luggage is in the garage and we will go through the laborious process of trying to prevent a second infestation in our home. Not fun, not cool. I don't blame Disney, but this kind of sucks to be blunt. We stayed at old key west resort from January 20 - 25 2012.

You don't know for sure if you have bedbugs unless you see them! Just because you have some type of bite doesn't automatically mean it's from bedbugs! They are visible (small black bugs) and can be found in the cracks of mattresses and upholstered chairs but you have to look carefully. You can also see their droppings, very small black spots, many of them in the cracks of the furniture.
It's not fair to accuse Disney or any other hotel without having some type of real proof. There are man
y type of bugs out there, including rashes that can look like bug bites.

Just left 4/28 and left leg had red eventually oozing bites. Mentioned it to the front desk and they looked at me like they didn't even know that bed bugs exisisted.

I'm curious if WDW says they weren't bedbugs, is it possible that they are a different kind of bug? there is a very tiny flying insect that bites, starts with an N ... nickadamus maybe.. you can get them outside and have no idea till the next day.

We stayed there last week of September 2010 and my youngest daugher slept in the pull out chair in the villa. The next morning she woke up literally COVERED in red bites all over her back and legs. At first we though maybe it was mosquito bites but then the next day we were not even outside in the evening so were not near any possible mosquitos and the next morning she woke up with even more bites!!!! She was suffering terribly and I had to go buy some ointment for her. We were very disappoin
ted that this would happen at a Disney Resort but they claimed there was no way there were bed bugs at their resorts! Guests beware apparently!

I woke up with hundreds of red bug bites all over my right leg and thigh. It was horrible looking but, thankfully, went away in a day or two. I told the resort and they claimed they had it inspected and there were no bedbugs but I KNOW that they were from bedbugs! We had stayed in one of the riverside villas and it was a beautiful, very clean-seeming, high end villa. I would never have expected something like that to happen there!
