Medication ?

[DarleneSutton]

If you take medication, do you have to submit a "Guest Medical Information Form" to Disney Cruise Line?

It is my understanding that the Guest Medical Information Form is mainly used to determine whether there is a basis for a handicapped accessible stateroom request, or whether there is a possibility of pregnancy that falls within the prohibited cruising rules. The ADA prohibits medical information from being used as a method of screening out people with disabilities and DCL is required to follow the guidelines based on ADA court decisions.
I take medication, hate to reveal its nature, but recognize that as I travel alone, if I should become really sick or badly injured it might be a good idea for someone to have some kind of idea what they may need to take into consideration before pumping me full of other drugs.

I was asked to fill one out because I am diabetic with special dietary needs. Actually it is a good idea in case of emergency.

Thank You both very much!

You don't need to fill out a form for medicine that is prescribed, but make sure you carry them in their labeled bottles.
Especially if it is a narcotic or controlled substance. My husband has to take oxycotin(3x day/2 different strengths) so we are going to also have a doctors note in case they ask at the airport. Now my son who has sleep apnea and needs his cpap machine on board was told to fill out the form for Disney. My TA called and they said to do this in case we need any assistance.

The medical form is basically a request for special services, whether they are dietary, room accomadations, or whatever. If you are an adult who takes you medication on you own or administers it to your children, they ask only that you bring it in the original, labelled containers. There is no need to do the form.
