• Turner Drugs
If you’re visiting the Walt Disney World Resort and find (like I did) that you’ve forgotten one of your
prescription medications, or need a new prescription filled, Turner Drugs offers a fabulous resort delivery
service. When I forgot one of my important prescription medications, I called Turner Drugs. They told me to
call my Doctor’s office at home & have them call in my prescription. Within a couple hours, my prescription
was delivered to the First Aid Station at the Animal Kingdom. You can also have deliveries made to your
resort’s front desk. This is a great service for those who need medication in an emergency, or even if you just
need while visiting WDW. They also will deliver OTC medications if you need them and they offer medical
equipment rentals. From WDW, you can call or visit their Lake Buena Vista Location. They also have a
Celebration/Kissimmee location, which is closed on Sundays.

Alternative Medicine has a great article on treatment & prevention of blisters. Also the Unofficial Guide to
Walt Disney World has some excellent information - see "Sergeant Blisterblaster's Guide to Happy Feet" in the
"Problems & Unusual Situations" section & "Stuff to Think About" in "The Ecstasy & the Agony" section.
<READ THIS BOOK!> Their advice about using Moleskin is the best advice we've found. At this point, I know
where I tend to get blisters. I cover those spots with moleskin *before* I put on my socks & shoes in the
morning. I've found this to be very effective & instrumental in the making magical days. you know what they
say about an ounce of prevention...

same!) and this article Sunburn - Prevention from WebMD. You can also click on links for emergencies,
