Has anyone had a baby at Disney?

One woman in 1984 gave birth to her baby at Disneyland's first aid station after going into labor while she waited for the rest of her family to ride Space Mountain. At Walt Disney World in 1997, a newborn baby was found by a guest in the restrooms near Space Mountain in the Magic Kingdom's Tomorrowland.



Yes, there have been several recorded instances of babies being born at Disney parks, with the most famous being the first "Disney Baby," Teresa Salcedo, born in 1979 at Disneyland. She was delivered on Main Street, U.S.A., after her mother went into labor near the Plaza Inn. Another notable birth occurred in 1997 at Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom, where a baby was born in a restroom in Tomorrowland. There is a persistent urban legend that babies born in the parks receive a "Lifetime Pass," but Disney has officially confirmed that this is not true. While these families often receive "Honorary Citizen" certificates or special gifts (and the first baby was famously visited by Mickey and Goofy in the hospital), they still have to pay for tickets like everyone else. Today, Disney's First Aid stations and paramedics are highly trained to handle such emergencies, but their primary goal is to stabilize the mother and transport her to a nearby hospital as quickly as possible to ensure a safe and private delivery.
