    While sad, especially if he wasn't older, this is the way I'd like to go, while on a ride at WDW or DL.

    1999 - Coronado Springs (1 night); 2003 - DL's Paradise Pier (5 nights); 2005 - All Star Music (7 nights); 2007 - POP Century (10 nights); 2008 - DL's Paradise Pier (5 nights); 2009 - POP Century (10 nights); 2010 - Dolphin (2 nights); 2011 - POP Century (7 nights); June 8-18, 2012 - POFQ (10 nights); next trip,June 18-22, 2013 - POFQ (5 nights). If I'm not at Walt Disney World or Disneyland, I'm not really happy.

    I agree. Since we all have to leave this world at some point, it might as well happen while we're doing something we enjoy!

    Where did you hear about this in the first place? It might give you some clues that would make using google, or something similar, more effectively.

    on a side note.

    i remember talking to a few cast members the year the young kid died on mission space since we were there during that trip. they said that since disney operates it's own emergency "crews" such as fire and ambulance; no one ever dies at walt disney world. they are transported to another facility where he/she is pronounced dead.

    Not true.

    That's a pretty common urban legend. Part of it may come from the laws that state only a doctor can pronounce. So usually a person dies and then is brought to the hospital where they're declared DOA.

    If this had happened, there would have been reports in the Orlando Sentinel. I would also have expected one of the many local bloggers to have picked up the story and I've seen nothing.

    Our local (Palm Beach County) tv and newspapers are really quick to pick up these stories too and I haven't seen anything about this at all.

    Sadly, it does happen, people die in public places for a variety of reasons.
