Overview
- Guest David Besse has filed a negligence lawsuit in Florida state court against Walt Disney Parks and Resorts over an alleged infestation at Disney’s All‑Star Sports Resort.
- Besse says he was bitten numerous times during a 2022 stay and seeks more than $50,000 for scarring, bodily injury, pain, mental anguish, medical bills, and lost earnings.
- The complaint cites alleged failures to inspect rooms regularly, train housekeeping and maintenance staff, apply insecticidal dust in hallways, and use mattress liners or encasements.
- The filing requests a jury trial and the case sits at an early stage, which could lead to discovery of Disney’s internal pest‑control and housekeeping records.
- Reporters say Disney has been asked for comment, and coverage notes that bed bugs are a public‑health pest that do not spread disease, with past Disney cases including a 2022 $100,000 settlement tied to the Disneyland Hotel.
