Re: Your WDW First Aid/Medicine Kit

The card idea (with current meds and allergies, etc.) is a great idea - I'm going to do this right away.



Another suggestion for those of you who have to bring injections on airlines - you must have a prescription to show baggage checkers. Also, check with your pharmacist or doctor to make sure that the x-ray machines your meds must pass through won't affect the meds.



I have an injection that must be refrigerated. I carry it on with me and mention it to the baggage checkers before I put it through. When I get to the Disney resort, the front desk will put it in a fridge for me if my room isn't ready. WDW supplies a free fridge if you have a medical necessity for it. It's always been a dorm-sized fridge - but I've heard there are also small ones (shoebox sized) they sometimes give to guests for meds.
