If you’re planning a trip to Disney World, there are several great resources you might want to be aware of in the parks.
First Aid in Magic Kingdom
From the Guest Relations spaces to the Baby Care Center to the water bottle refill stations, knowing about these little spots can make your visit infinitely better when you encounter issues or need to solve a problem. And one of the most important places to remember in an emergency is First Aid!
First Aid is usually not a place we visit frequently in the parks, but we recently had to stop by after a run-in with a bee! One of our reporters got a bee sting in Magic Kingdom and headed to First Aid to see what they could do. When you arrive, you check in at the desk. From there, a Cast Member took her back to a treatment room and asked some medical questions before applying a topical numbing gel to the area.
They fixed us up!
She left with some topical Benadryl and a custom-made ice pack with a slot for her thumb, where the sting was located. Our reporter said, “The nurses at first aid are incredibly knowledgeable. They are all registered nurses and are kind, sweet, and very attentive to anything that might happen while you’re in a park, so I highly recommend coming by if you have any issues.”

While there, our reporter learned that First Aid gets quite busy on hot days in the summer because people in the parks don’t hydrate properly! They see a LOT of cases of dehydration. So, if you’re heading to Disney World on vacation, make sure you keep an eye on how much water you’re drinking. Bring a refillable bottle and fill it up at the stations around the park. Quick-service restaurants and snack stands with drink machines will give you free cups of ice water if you ask, as well.

Just in case you need it in the future, the First Aid locations in each park are as follows:
- Magic Kingdom — located between Casey’s Corner and Crystal Palace on Main Street, U.S.A.
- EPCOT — located between World Showcase and World Discovery at the Odyssey Pavilion
- Hollywood Studios — located just inside the front of the park next to Guest Relations
- Animal Kingdom — located next to Creature Comforts on Discovery Island
First Aid will have some basic supplies like medicine and bandages

We’ve had to use first aid once at Magic Kingdom. It was because my 3 year old and I were standing in line for the teacups and a lady in front of t of us kept purposely backing her stroller into us (she was in front of the stroller and pushing it backwards so we had to keep moving backwards). Well, I asked if she could stop because we couldn’t move anywhere else as the line was very long and crowded. Her response was to shove her stroller into my 3 year old causing him to fall and scrape his palms and knees. I have mobility issues, so I needed help getting him there. Sadly, no CM’s could get me a wheelchair, so I carried him and hobbled to first aid. By the time we got there, we both needed it lol. He got cleaned up and bandaged and I got ice packs for my joints lol. Nice nurses though. They entertained my son and distracted him from the pain.
Years ago our son was stung by a caterpillar in the lazy river at Blizzard Beach. It immediately turned. bright red started swelling up at an alarming pace. We rushed him to first aid and the kind nurse knew immediately what to do. She applied a topical cream and gave him Benadryl and an ice pack. Voila! Problem solved.
Glad she wasn’t allergic. How much did they charge her? Did she have to pay at First Aid or did they bill the room?
Oh my, Jen S, I hope you called the police and/or she was trespassed.
