Orange County health officials are investigating a cluster of illnesses linked to Walt Disney World's "Wild Africa Trek" experience, a boutique tour in which small groups of people get up-close access to some of the wildlife in ]Disney's Animal Kingdom and a catered meal served on the theme park's manmade savannah.
Investigators have documented "several dozens of cases" of illnesses among guests who took the Disney tour in June and July, said Dain Weister, a spokesman for the Orange County Health Department.

The source of the illness remains a mystery."It appears to be some kind of stomach bug," Weister said. "It could be food-borne, it could be water-borne, it could be something that's passed on person-to-person, it could be something that's picked up by surface."

The county Health Department was alerted to the outbreak on June 11. Weister said the agency immediately inspected the kitchen at Disney World where employees prepare the food served on the trek, but they found no problems.
