Maybe you've been in this situation before...
"Taylor, slow down....don't run....DON'T RUN!!!" (Insert fall) "Waaaahhhhh!"
When my kids get excited, they run/skip/etc. everywhere! I love seeing that enthusiasum and carefree nature. But every so often this results in skinned knees. Usually I have a small first aid kit on me (bandaids, first aid spray and Tylenol), but rest assured, there is a First Aid Center in every park.
The First Aid Center is invaluable for any type of emergency at Disney World. Bee stings, stomach bug, skinned knees, you name it! They gave us a number for the pharmacy I posted about HERE when my daughter wasn't feeling good. Keep this in the back of your mind...but hopefully you will never need it.
We had the (unfortunate) experience to use the Medical Center onboard the Disney Magic in January 2011. It was the very last night of our cruise and we had a ton of fun the entire week. Our almost 3-year-old, Taylor was fantastic the entire vacation and would stay up later to experience all the fun the boat had to offer. Her last night she got invited to a special event with the characters at 10pm(!). Her bedtime is normally 7:30pm. We kept her up, but the heat from Castaway Cay and excitement from the event (around 10 kids were invited to meet EVERY character) got to her. Around 2am she woke up screaming. Screaming on the top of her lungs and her eyes were rolling back in her head. I tried to get her to look at me but she wouldn't. We never saw her like this and were very worried she was having a seizure. We called the Medical Center and the doctor met us there. We walked in and he helped us immediately. He was super nice and helpful. By this point, Taylor fell back asleep and it was confirmed she did not have a seizure from his tests. While I stayed awake to make sure it didn't happen again (and my poor husband attempted to sleep in Taylor's bed!), I was very comforted that if something was wrong, they were more than capable to handle it. The Medical Center looked like a small ER with everything you can imagine! I was very impressed. And we were comforted that while it looks like Taylor just had a "night terror", they were compassionate and understanding the entire time. I hope we never have to use them again (although with my daredevil baby boy I'm not too sure!), but if we do I know we will be getting excellent care!
