California Adventure First Aid

We’re very friendly. Helped me out quickly and was able to continue my trip feeling better.

Definitely worth a 5-​star review! Had a headache and neck pain after a ride on California Screamin, walked to the first aid near the main entrance to DCA and was happily greeted by the nurses and staff. I was given pain relievers (Tylenol, I think.), cold water, and a place to sit. After a few minutes of resting and giving them my info, I was good to go! Ended up enjoying the rest of my stay at Disneyland, the fireworks show, numerous rides, and even got to stay till it closed. DCA First Aid definitely saved the day! Thanks!

After a terrible experience on California Screamin’, I had an excruciating headache that felt like someone needed to remove my scalp to relieve the pressure. Rita the Security Guard saw me crying in pain and was able to call for Nurse Mikee and they took me to the Disney Hospital right away.
The Disney Hospital Team are extremely professional and go the extra mile to make sure that you’re taken care of so you can go back to having fun. I got to rest on a comfy cot with an icepack and Advil and about an hour later I was starting to feel better.
Everyone there was excellent, but it was Nurse Mikee that really made the experience for me. It was a crappy way to end a birthday but at least my head doesn’t hurt anymore. :)

Having gone on the Ferris wheel not twice around but four times around, my friend group of 8 felt awfully nauseous with a massive headache. Unfortunately, I was the only one that threw up and had no medication or water. We went to the first aid and the nurses at the front desk were very nice and so willing to help us. Being that I was a minor and had no parent they couldn’t take me in but they gladly welcomed us to stay in the waiting room to sit and relax. There was cold water available for us and the nurse gave me some ibuprofen with permission from my mom. The nurses talked to is and we sat in there for a good hour to recover. After we left, they gave me a Minnie Mouse nurse sticker! They were so hospitable and I must say I feel so much better after having some quiet time in the first aid.

I had a little trouble finding this place but was very impressed with their great service. We saw them care for a child who was sick and they were very caring and concerned and calm with the family. I was looking for cold medicine all over the park and though they didn’t have any here they were able to call around and find some for me at the photo shop at Disneyland. I was grateful for their kindness and help and am glad to know this place is here and has helpful professionals ready to help and care.

On March 28, 2009 you helped save a life
In the evening, around 7 pm
You didn’t know it at the time but you witnessed a miracle
He got sick waiting in line, at the Tower of Terror
Someone called you and you got there just in time
You called the paramedics and they got there just in time
They took him to UCI and got him there just in time
All we wanted to do was take him back to the hotel, so he could rest
My neck hurts and I don’t know why
But you saw he needed help
You saw that something was wrong, with his brain
You knew something was wrong because you looked at his eyes
Has he hit his head? That’s what you asked, twice
You wanted him to go to a trauma center
You knew he had to go to UCI
That is where he went. They took us to UCI
The paramedics heard you and that’s where they took him
We went to UCI because that is where you wanted him to go
The surgeon at UCI was ready to do what he needed to do
He was trained to do it and he did, relieve the pressure
We had to be there because time was the issue
Any more time and he may not have made it
You see, the pressure, that was the issue
It was shutting everything down
You knew he had to go to UCI and that is where we needed to be
You see, he had an AVM
Arteriovenous malformation, in his brain
A killer, it burst in line at the Tower of Terror
They asked us how many we had in our party
We were just about to get on the ride
Thank God we didn’t, that would have been the end
Instead we got off, and then it started
The staff took over and helped us
No! More than that
You made the difference
You saved a life that day because you responded
You needed to help us that day
And you did, more than you will ever know
On March 28, 2009… you saved a life that day
More than you will ever know, we thank you

I can’t believe Disneyland has it’s own registered nurse !?!
But then again it is the happiest place on earth so why wouldn’t they have a RN.
Of all my trips to Disneyland I never knew they had a first aid station. Well I wouldn’t exactly call this a station as it looks more like swanky hotel lobby but I needed some first aid bad.
Of course on the walk to Disney from my hotel (on probably the hotest day on record) I tore open my heals wearing some bad walking shoes. I needed a band-​aid stat if I was going to be walking around all day. After some directions from a disney employee I made my way over to first aid. I was a little nervous going in as I wasn’t sure what to expect. As soon as I opened the door I was pleasantly sprayed with a burst of cool air. Man it was nice in there, if the heat got too bad I knew where to come rest for a bit. There was a long hallway with benches on either side, then a desk where a nurse sat in proper nurse attire who asked how she could help. After explaining my ailment she had me sign in and sent me off with a few band-​aids.
Thank you disney first aid I wouldn’t have been able to get through the day without you :)

So amazing! I got horrible swimmers ear infections while vacationing at the Happiest Place on Earth. They let me come in and lay down so I could put my ear drops in a couple times. Plus the staff was so friendly!

Who ever really wants to go to First Aid when your at a theme park or at least hope you don’t have to…
On a very sunny beautiful Saturday morning my friend and I decided to beat the heat and go on the Grizzly Rapid Water Ride first, which was all to refreshing but it also drenched his bandage from a previous injury.
Since he knows I’m a Unilocal «check in «whore, he was let’s go to first aid so I can get a new band-​aid and you can write a new review… (so sweet, I know)
So off we went, it’s located right next to the baby center, which by walking by looked very nice with cartoons on for the older kids, so to the right we walked in and asked for a band-​aid, you just need to sign in your name and they cleaned up his cut, strapped on a new bandage and even put some extra tape on just in case, we opted to sit in there for a few minutes since it was so hot outside and took advantage of the cups of waters (too bad they the water was warm)
And off we went to enjoy the rest of our day, I’m sure if we had needed some real actual first aid assistance we would have been in good hands.

What happens when the kids are having too much fun and forget to eat and hydrate? Headaches + pains =/​= the happiest place on earth.
Located right next to the Mission Tortilla Factory, here is a little solace from the noise, heat, fireworks, whatever.
The nurses were super friendly and they have just what you need, short of narcotics and a hospital. Tylenol, Motrin, water, and some peace and quiet. Sometimes that’s all you need.

I swear it was like fate when I saw this first aid center.
The day before I went to Disneyland, I got a nasty ass scrape on my index finger and the bandaid I put on in the morning was starting to get nasty and I really needed a new bandaid. While I was walking to the Missin Tortilla Factory to get my free bag of tortillas, I saw the first aid center hiding right behind it. The bandaid didn’t stick very well… but it did its job and they were free. I can’t complain. My friends told me that it’s a great place to go to in the summer when it’s hot and need a cold glass of water. They even hand out cold towels to cool you down! How awesome is that?

Because of the reviews I’d read on Unilocal,I became aware of the First Aid center in Disneyland. I always carry around a few bandages, neosporin and tylenol when we go, but I made it a point to remember this location.. .. just in case. It’s really easy to remember by saying it’s behind the corn dog stand. I’m there.
Anyway, this last time we went, I took out the tylenol to give some to my husband and forgot to pack it back in my bag. I’d forgotten about it until we were having lunch. There was a little girl who kept screaming «arriba, abajo, arriba, abajo» over and over in a sing-​song voice. Oh. My. God. It annoyed me to no ends. I mean, I’m used to all the noise and screaming kids, but for some reason this really got to me. Her mom wouldn’t say anything to her and she was sooooo loud. I started getting a headache. We left our lunch spot and were walking towards the Mission Tortilla factory when I saw it like a beam of glowing light and a chorus of angels singing in the background. .. . First Aid! I knew I had to go right away. The Disney parks is not the place where you want to have a headache. We walked in and the nurses were super nice. They told us to have a seat in some mega comfortable seats and were joking about how we wouldn’t want to get up. They handed me some pain reliever and required my name and signature. We chatted for a little while and were back on our way (although it really did take a while to get my husband up from that chair).
To the nurses working there: thank you, thank you, thank you, for making my day better and thus more enjoyable!
