Disney Faces Lawsuit After Couples Claims A Bed Bug Infestation Ruined Their Vacation

Disney Faces Lawsuit After Couples Claims A Bed Bug Infestation Ruined Their Vacation

A New York couple is suing Disney Development Inc. after a stay at one of their Florida properties during which the couple states a bed bug infestation ruined their vacation and caused significant physical and emotional harm.

Allyson L. Masciotti-Hamedl and Kevin Hamedl of Poughquag, N.Y. are seeking damages of $100,000 to $1 million.  Their lawsuit claims Disney failed to “exercise reasonable care and breached its duty” with proper management, operations and maintenance at Disney’s Vero Beach Resort by keeping it free from hazardous conditions.

Filed in June, the lawsuit states Masciotti-Hamedl awoke during her stay at the resort in September 2016 to “bugs crawling all over the bed, linens, and surrounding walls of her room.”  This suit was originally  filed in Dutchess County (N.Y.) and will be decided in the Southern District Court of New York.

According to the couple, hotel staff had them leave their room and they were given accomodations at another Disney property. The couple states it was later confirmed the bugs Masciotti-Hamedl had seen in their room were bed bugs.

In the days and months that followed their vacation Masciotti-Hamedl missed time from work as she was dealing with painful bites.  She states in the compliant that those bites turned into welts and the kept her from being able to perform her job duties to their expectations. Also in the lawsuit she claims to have continued difficulty sleeping and suffers anxiety as a result of the infestation, for which she has sought psychiatric treatment. Hamedl also claims to have suffered emotional hardship.

In the complaint against Disney Development Inc. the couple alleges the company failed to notify the couple of the infestation, failed to have regular inspections of rooms, and failed to properly sanitize the room in question, among other precautions.

Representatives of the Disney company did not respond to requests for comment according to a new article.

Disney Lends Support To Feeding America Initiative as Part of Their “Share The Joy” Campaign

Disney Lends Support To Feeding America Initiative as Part of Their "Share The Joy" Campaign

The Walt Disney Company announced earlier this week that they have contributed $1 million to  Feeding America® to help food banks expand their local fresh produce sourcing and distribution programs that serve families and kids in need. The funds will be distributed to 60 food banks throughout the country. The announcement was made on ABC’s “The Chew” and kicked off Disney’s “Share the Joy” campaign which was created to inspire families around the world to help others and make a positive impact on their community this holiday season.

As part of “Share the Joy,” Feeding American and Disney will collaborate to expand access to healthy living option in neighborhoods where kids and families live, work and play.  This is part of Disney’s long-standing commitment to create healthier generates and inspire healthier eating habits.

To further the message, Disney|ABC Television Group will be launching a series of Public Service Announcements that will run on ABC, Freeform, Disney Channel and Disney XD throughout the month of December. ABC has announced that their local television stations are also expected to follow suit and that many of these will host volunteer events with local food banks.

During a segment on “The Chew” earlier in the week, Kids Cafe (a child nutrition program of the Houston Food Bank) were featured along with a few volunteers to focus on how the initiative will allow them to give back to the community in the wake of Hurricane Harvey. Houston Food bank was one of several Feeding America food banks impacted by the hurricanes earlier this year.  To support the banks in these recovery areas, Disney pledged an additional $500,000 earlier this year.

Feeding America is the largest hunger-relief and food rescue organization in America with 200 member food banks and 60,000 food pantries and meal programs.  The goal of the organization is not simple to provide meals for people in need, but also to provide nutritious foods that are the building blocks to a healthy life.

To learn more about Disney’s commitment to creating healthier generations or to find out more about volunteer opportunities at your local Feeding America food bank, visit FeedingAmerica.org/BeInspired.

Houston Astros Star Players to Celebrate World Series Victory With Trip to Disney World

Disney World

As the city of Houston, Texas erupts in celebration over the Astro’s victory in this year’s World Series, three of their most star players have their sights set on a celebration at Walt Disney World.   Mickey Mouse and friends will be extending a warm welcome to MVP George Springer and star players Jose Altuve and Carlos Correa with a Victory Parade down Main Street U.S.A at Magic Kingdom on Saturday, November 4th. Here’s a quick look at the parade schedule:

  • 12:15 pm: Media arrivals at Disney’s Contemporary Resort for transportation via media shuttle to Magic Kingdom.
  • 12:45 pm: Parade down Main Street, U.S.A., – Media viewing area
  • 1:15 pm: Media interview opportunity with players on East Lawn

Springer, Correa and Altuve were crucial in the Astros 5-1 victory in Game 7 held in Lost Angeles on Wednesday night. The win delivered the Astros its first World Series title in its 56-year history.

Springer came up big for the Astros throughout the seven games.  He hit .379 with seven RBIs and five home runs including a two-run blast to help the Astros win Game 2 in the 11th inning. He also led the charge in Game 7, starting off with a double and then adding a two-run home run that helped Houston to a 5-0 lead.  His 5 home runs tied a World Series record and his 8 extra-base hits are the most ever in the history of the World Series.

Altuve, who led the American League in hitting during the regular season and hit .310 in the postseason, delivered for the Astros throughout the World Series. He hit two home runs and drove in six runs. His biggest contribution came in Game 5 with a three-run homer and drove in another run that helped his team to a  13-12 victory in 10 innings.

Correa was one of the team’s most consistent hitters. He hit two home runs and drove in five runs in the World Series. Correa also he melted the hearts of nearly everyone in Game 7, getting a hit in the 6th inning before getting engaged to his girlfriend just moments after the Astros won the World Series championship.

Houston Astros Star Players to Celebrate World Series Victory With Trip to Disney World

Springer, Altuve and Correa will celebrate with Mickey Mouse and friends as well as thousands of cheering fans who are expected to line the parade route on Saturday. The players will likely also get to spend time enjoying all that Disney has to offer including rides, attractions and entertainment.

This Astros parade is in keeping with Disney’s  tradition of celebrating major achievements in sports including professional football,  basketball and hockey wins. The Astros join the ranks of other winning teams like the Boston Red Sox (2004) and the Chicago Cubs (2016) who have celebrated their team’s achievements with celebratory parades at Walt Disney World Resort.

Be sure to keep following along with Chip and Co. for up-t0-date information regarding the Astro’s special visit.
