Theme parks like the destinations found within Walt Disney World Resort are meant to be magical places filled with light, laughter, and whimsy. However, they are also crowded, often stressful, and hot (especially for the California and Florida theme parks).
Magical Fun, with Real Dangers
In times like summer, heat exhaustion is a very real threat for Disney World or Disneyland Guests — especially Disney World Guests in Central Florida.
However, other pre-existing medical conditions, freak accidents (like this recent incident), or epileptic reactions to fireworks shows can and have been factors as well when it comes to ailing Disney Guests.
Unfortunately, it looks like one Disney Guest recently experienced a medical emergency in the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World Resort.
A Reddit user has just reported “an older gentleman in a stretcher” in the Magic Kingdom, in between Casey’s Corner on Main Street U.S.A. and Adventureland’s Jungle Cruise boat ride.
Should You Leave Them Alone?
Information about the specific event was not revealed, but the general consensus among commenters was the following: “if someone has a medical issue in the parks, the kind thing to do IMO is respect their privacy.”
What happened today in MK? I saw some older gentleman in a stretcher and a large pathway blocked off between jungle cruise and Casey’s.
