I wish I knew so I could prevent it. When I got sick one trip it was day after arrival so maybe a combination of lack of sleep, my travel migraine and combined with recycled air on the planes? Another trip, my brother got sick one night after eating quick service dinner at the Morocco QS (may just be coincidence but nothing else stood out). Now my daughter was a young child prone to putting her hands in her mouth no matter how hard we tried to police her or keep her clean with wipes. She got sick early morning day 2 and was throwing up so much she was weakened and dehydrated because she was so little that she had to go to the ER with my wife.Do you know why someone always gets sick? I always used to get sick but now I'm really careful about my food (found intolerances) and keeping hydrated and resting I'm so much better when we travel!
Besides people being everywhere and in close proximity, the only other common element on each of our trips to Disney is the water. Being from NY we have great water so the taste of Disney water is a shock but I'm unsure if that has any impact. We'll be having water bottles shipped and supplement them with filtered water available around the parks and resort. I also have a health conscious wife. She'll probably have us on some probiotic regimen before our trip and bring her essential oils (i have no idea I just go along with whatever she says). We've all gotten our flu shots and will hopefully have any change of seasons illness out of our system before we head down mid-November.
