Hi Meg!
As the mother of 5 children myself, I completely understand how things can unexpectedly come up. If you purchase theme park tickets directly from
Walt Disney World, then the tickets are nonrefundable. The good news is that they must be used within 14 days of first use, so if you haven't used them yet, then they don't expire. No dates attached unless they are a special Florida Resident ticket or other special exception ticket.
I have had children become sick during our Walt Disney World vacation before, but fortunately there are
First Aid centers in all of the theme parks. Nurses are available during normal park operating hours to offer over-the-counter medications, bandages and other quick remedies so that you can begin enjoying your vacation again. There are even in-room medical services available at all Walt Disney World Resort hotels and complimentary transportation to Florida Hospital Centra Care Walk-In Urgent Care Center. Walt Disney World has us worried moms covered.
Please come back and see us real soon at the Disney Parks Moms Panel. We're happy to help you with any vacation-planning questions! Have a magical vacation!
