This mum dragged her entire sick family to Disney with a stomach bug and TikTok is furious

A mum has gone viral on TikTok after casually admitting she brought her entire family, all sick with norovirus, to Disney World. Yes, the highly contagious stomach bug. Yes, she still thought Mickey time was worth it.

In the video, the mum explained that she, her partner and their kids all came down with norovirus (a virus known for spreading like wildfire through, well, literally everything you touch). Instead of cancelling, the family hopped on a plane and hit up the Orlando parks anyway.

She said that she and one of her kids were already sick before the trip – but the chaos didn’t stop there. Just as they were boarding the plane, her seven-month-old baby had explosive diarrhea. Meanwhile, the dad also fell ill mid-flight, leaving him unable to care for the sick baby. Somehow, despite this stomach-turning nightmare, the family made it to Orlando and went on to visit the theme parks.

If you’ve ever had norovirus, you know it’s not just the sniffles. It’s a vomit and diarrhea nightmare. Not exactly the vibe you want at the happiest place on earth.

Naturally, TikTok did not take it well. Comments have slammed the family for putting thousands of other holiday-goers at risk.

“Imagine paying thousands for a once-in-a-lifetime trip only to get norovirus from someone else’s kid,” one person wrote.

Others pointed out how dangerous this could be for other guests: “Put a finger down if you don’t care about other people’s health and will make your family suffer for your own selfish desires.”

One person even said they’d threaten legal action if they were infected: “If I were on any of their flights and got sick, I’d absolutely be suing after seeing this.”

Disney technically asks guests to stay home if they’re sick, but the rules basically can’t be enforced. And judging from this viral confession, not everyone sticks to the guidance.

Now, the video has sparked a bigger debate online: should families still go on holidays they’ve already paid for, even if it means risking other people’s health? Or is bringing your sick kids to Disney just… evil?

It’s unclear how this particular case was handled at the park, and Disney has not yet made a statement addressing the situation.
