Epi-Pens can be found at several places within Disneyland:
Like many families who deal with food allergies, it can be scary when you think of the numerous contact possibilities with known allergens that could cause an anaphylactic reaction when vacationing and visiting a new place. We always carry Epi-Pens, but of course, things can happen. A few years ago Disney, who was already known for being one of the best when it came to accommodating guests of all needs, began to make Epi-Pens available in their parks for all guests. Not only can you bring your own in, but they are now offered at the first-aid station within the park in case your own is forgotten or you are just learning of a new allergen! It is nice to know that if something ever did happen, there is always access to an Epi-Pen in the park.
Disney hires nurses to man the first aid stations
Disney also employs nurses to work at the first aid stations in both Disneyland and Disney California Adventure. It is great that they now offer accessible Epi-Pens, but even better that they offer trained personnel to help those who are using one for the first time or need a little nudge if in shock when facing a life-threatening reaction. You can find the first aid station in Disneyland at the end of Main Street – just turn right before Plaza Inn. The station in California Adventure is even easier to find. Once you enter the park, simply turn left and it is located behind the model car. All Disney guide maps now feature an Epi-Pen location tag as well, so make sure to grab one if you are worried about forgetting the locations!
While none of us want a reaction to take place – in a theme park or at all – it is comforting to know that Disneyland is aware of increasing allergens in the public. Of course, the best way to avoid a reaction is to avoid contact with your known allergens, especially when considering food allergens. And always follow your allergist’s guidelines.
