Medics in the parks?

Interesting tidbit. If you call 911 from your on site hotel room and you have any language listed other than English as your primary language Disney also dispatches an interpreter as well if they have one available. Also (I am not sure if this is still true) Reedy Creek does not charge for ambulance transport where all others agencies surrounding the parks do.

We had to call our last trip for my Father who was having chest pain. from time of contacting a cast member till the time they met us at the Norway Pavilion in EPCOT was 7 minutes (I snowed I timed it because as a paramedic I was interested in. their response time). They were very professional and immediately started treatment as soon as they got there.

Disney also offers free transportation to and from the two urgent care offices, so it would make sense that Reddy Creek waves the ambulance fee.

(it also says medical care in room at the resort is available, I’m assuming that’s the medics responding)

Yes, neither the shuttle to urgent care nor the ambulance to the ER charged me a penny when I had to use them on our last trip. And the ER was $275 with no other charges later on, even when I got bloodwork and a CT scan.

Yes! I was not billed for my ambulance ride from Port Orleans French Quarter a few years ago.

If you call 911 from your cell phone, you need to tell them you are at Disney World, then they will reroute the call to Reedy Creek, who are the ones who actually respond.
