According to a post on Reddit, a guest suffered a medical emergency in the France Pavilion at EPCOT yesterday.
FYI: The information was posted in a thread on the fan-run Walt Disney World community page on the social media platform.
Approximately 15 hours ago, u/Dudeimshawn started the thread ‘France pavilion medical emergency’ with the following:
“I want to take a moment to give many thanks and praise to everyone that helped with my family yesterday in the France pavilion at EPCOT. Several cast members and guests alike rushed to the rescue when my almost 2-year-old daughter started having what we now know was a Febrile Seizure. She’s okay, just had a fever we didn’t really recognize (it’s hot out) and it spiked quickly, which is what caused the febrile seizure. We’re so lucky and grateful she’s okay, and the cast members and guests that helped out were all so amazing. Even the medical professionals at Celebration Paediatric Emergency were so comforting and helpful. So again, from the bottom of my heart thank you so much!!!”
In the thread comments, u/Dudeimshawn added the following about the incident:
“I’m a little traumatized by the whole situation because it, of course, happened right after my wife walked away to go to the restroom. She came back to a random guest holding my screaming and crying 5-year-old trying to comfort him, paramedics, large crowd of good samaritans, and total chaos. We actually went back into Epcot later this evening for the sole purpose of popping into the France Pavilion to possibly thank those cast members in person.”
We’re so happy to hear she’s okay! The Cast Members and guests who helped definitely deserve to be recognised for their efforts.
