Now, I'm thinking maybe they weren't as we kept saying "but I don't see any, where are we getting bit?!"

All I can say is I know this could happen anywhere but after the rat fell through the ceiling of the CCI and this bed bug thing - I am never going there again. That is just too much at one place for me...LOL

Originally Posted By dlkozy I guess I don't understand how you can walk through the DLR either, Disney Joy-those rats and mice are EVERYWHERE on Disney property.

Originally Posted By Disney Joy dlkozy ~ simple - I never saw a mice or rat anywhere and heaven sakes if I ever see one. There will be one side show for everyone to see me freaking out. OOPS take that back - I did see a dead rat at Mickeys house once...but I didn't spend the night there. ) I surely am not going to go sleep where I know they have been seen or dropping into ceilings....just me. I might take my changes at the Grand even if I saw one. CCI is beautiful with the plush grounds and I am sure that is why they love that place. BUT everyone make their own decision. I just could never close my eyes at the CCI again.
Originally Posted By ibob1952 OK ... let's see the OP says "we initially assumed they were mosquito bites, however, we never SAW or HEARD any mosquitos. Plus mosquitos love ME and I had no bites". Therefore OP Assumes they were BEDBUG bites. But there is the possibility that it could have been a Mosquito (stealth type) a flea or the critter/Bedbug. Who knows? Should the hotel management have investigated the problem when reported by the guest. By all means. Oh and yes I know this is no Laughing matter ...

Originally Posted By dlkozy You might want to go somewhere else than the DLR too, if mice and rats bother you. That entire area is infested with roof rats and mice. You do know that the DLR keeps cats on site to help control this rodent problem don't you? These cats are not skinny either!

I have been going to DL for over 15 ~ 20 years - don't ~ haven't seen the little varmits ~ only the dead one at Mickey's house and one close to CCI walkway. So as long as I don't see them or go where I know they have too many incidents for ME (CCI) - Thank you I will be fine and will always go to DLR. And last month I was looking.....ThankS TO ALL the little miceesss for not coming out around me...... LOL
Originally Posted By BlueDevilSF I've never, ever had problems with any bug bites at the CCI. That said, it could go either way: the bites could be from bedbugs, but I still wouldn't rule out mosquitoes. I've gone out for dinner and sat outside only to find later in the evening or the next day that I've got mosquito bites. I've been bitten without actually feeling it.

Originally Posted By drawbridge My biggest concern about all of this is the CCI denial of it all. I think its insulting when you are covered in bites for this to just dismiss you like that. I'm curious to know what they would say about the mice. I understand that critters and bugs would thrive in the area and there probably isn't a whole lot any hotel can do about it. But their response to the situation is what would be the deciding factor as to whether we would ever return to that hotel. Okay, DLkozy - what hotel did you probelms at? When we stayed at BWPPI we had ALOT of ants and they moved us no problem.
