So it took me a few days after We got home to pinpoint where I possibly contracted Cholera (edited: not Cholera as I am alive and kicking) while visiting Disney last week and I am not blaming any one place, server or food preparer, I did narrow it down to what day and where it started. Wednesday 4/24 we took a resort day. We all ate breakfast at the CL Lounge at AKL. We headed to the pool from 10:00 till around 2:00. All showered and headed to Disney Springs arriving around 4:00. We were walking around, shopping etc. and my girls said they wanted to go on the aquacars at the Boat House. So we had an amazing time on the ride! It was one of the coolest things we did and a first for all 4 of us. After the ride my wife suggested we go to the bar and have a drink. I ordered some Truffle Fries and she ordered Oysters and we all 4 had drinks. Me and the girls shared the fries. We were watching an employee shuck some shrimp and they looked so good and were huge! My wife commented on them and I asked how much a half dozen were and the bar tender stated they we $4 each. The employee cleaning them set 2 on my wifes plate and said "on the house" well, she said I could have them and of course I'm not going to refuse! I will say, they were so good! My 7 year old daughter wanted to try one so she took one bite and gave it back so she had 1/4th and I had the other 3/4 plus one whole shrimp. While we were sitting there finishing up our drinks my wife nodded to the worker that was prepping the shrimp. He was wearing gloves but he took our plates, wiped them off them stored them under the bar, wiped out a stainless rectangle bin, rubbed his nose and went back to prepping the shrimp and never changed his gloves. The shrimp he gave us never left the prep table so they were never washed after handling them. I brushed it off so we finished up and left. We headed over to The Void, did star wars and after that we were walking around and we stopped in the watch store. I was looking at a new Tag Heuer watch and it hit me like a ton of bricks.I had to get to a bathroom fast! I barely made it and satan himself came out of me with a fury. Not vomit, from the other end. We got back to the resort and it hit again. In fact, it hit every 30 min or so till I fell asleep that night. The next morning I was fine till I ate. 15 min after straight to the bathroom. Rinse and repeat Friday, Saturday and even Sunday when we left. I was really worried because there was also blood which is not good. Also with all the diarrhea was stomach cramps right after I ate anything and my temp was 94.5 degrees. My daughter also had diarrhea but it only lasted a day. I guess being younger and having a stronger immune system helped her. I had contracted (whatever this is) and I can be 100% sure this is what I had about 10 years ago and the Dr. visit was a waste since I was told I had to let it run its course. My best guess is it came from the improper handled shrimp. We all ate at the lounge together and all had the same foods. My wife and DD5 didn't touch the shrimp, just me and DD7. Me, DD7 and DD4 ate the fries. Fortunately today I am all good but it really put a damper on half of our vacation.
