Disney named in lawsuit over alleged bed bug infestation at Orlando hotel

  • Besse claims he was "bitten numerous times by cimicidae (bed bugs)" during his stay on May 15, 2022, resulting in "scarring, bodily injury, pain and suffering," and other damages.
  • The lawsuit, filed in March in Florida’s Orange County Circuit Court, seeks damages exceeding $50,000 and requests a trial by jury.
