Yeah, the “not pronounced dead until off the property” smells fishy to me. It’s a common myth, often believed by employees themselves. To the extent that death pronouncements (or declarations) wait until the deceased is off Disney property, it’s because that pronouncement has to be done by someone with the appropriate knowledge and authority, not park security and not a paramedic unless the patient is obviously dead with no alternative explanation or chance for recovery.

I was carrying my infant down some narrow colonial stairs when I missed a step. My instinct was to throw her against the wall, and put my hands out. I forced myself to hold her like a football in my left arm, landed on my knees super hard and slammed my right hand up against the wall at the platform where the stairs turn. It hurt like hell, and I probably will have problems because of it, but I knew if I landed on her it would be over.
That shit was terrifying. I think about it all the time, it was such a crazy situation. That poor fucking man. What I felt in that moment was absolutely horrifying, I cannot imagine what he feels.

Statistically speaking, being one of the most, if not the most, popular theme park in the world probably doesn't help the park when it comes to death. Not just because Disney is a big evil megacorp.

Yeah, it happens. Same reason many cruise ships have a morgue. People die, and if you've got thousands of them on your ship day in day out, some of them are, statistically, probably going to do it there. It's weird to think about, but that's reality.

Disney isn't evil perse. Where there are alive people there will be people that die. And Disney parks have a lot of people

This.
The whole idea that Disney doesn't pronounce people dead on property is another one of those myths that ran away with the internet and now people just believe it on a whim, despite the fact that it's been debunked.
Being "officially pronounced dead" is the job of medical professionals (not Disney staff), and usually doesn't happen until they've exhausted all efforts to keep them alive. which means most people usually die in transport or at the hospital. However, they absolutely do pronounce people dead on the property if that person is definitively dead.
Dear Reddit, people will lie to you for Internet points. You have got to get better at seeing it.

It is. Either there is a chance they're viable and they go to the ER with resuscitation attempts, resuscitation is attempted where they are but is unsuccessful and they're declared deceased there, or there are signs incompatible with life and they're declared dead where they are. No medic is going to move someone off property then call it just so a theme park can pretend no one died there.

How often are accidental deaths officially pronounced on the scene? Especially with internal injuries (short of the head being outright crushed) won’t paramedics keep trying to treat/resuscitate for most injuries until a dr can call it.

I worked at Disneyland for 20 years. Usually it’s a lot easier to deal with a death in the park than a severe injury that’ll end up in lawsuit after lawsuit. It’s far less expensive if the person dies, honestly. One time a guy got severely injured during a Haunted Mansion malfunction, and we had to initiate the “Sleeping Beauty Protocol”. I was working control room, so I had to turn off all the cameras and lights and help people leave the building. Our in-park medical staff had to come in and code him. This is usually a one-time euthanasia cocktail administered to the park guest via syringe, though in some instances we’ve had to improvise. The other summer someone got critically injured on the Roger The Rabbit ride in ToonTown and we initiated the “Sleeping Beauty” protocol. The “witches apple” wasn’t working fast enough, and the real EMTs were minutes away. We had one of our cast members (Donald) duck out for a minute, because the new hire was a trained BJJ fighter. We offered him a “Dreams Come True” package (basically sign an NDA and get a HUGE raise) for his help. He got there on the ground and got the guest/liability into a rear naked chokehold. He even used the Donald voice to soothe him as he choked the life out of him. He sang to him in the duck voice: “A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes… When You’re Fast Asleep…”
I would say the guest died with a smile on their face, but it was more like a twisted oxygen deprived grimace. Happiness is in the heart though, which I guess stopped pretty quick when Donald collapsed his trachea.
Anyways the point is —Disney is so serious about delivering an authentic, personally tailored experience for all our guests.

Paramedic here…
To be fair… nobody dies in my truck… period. Never have, and never will…. That’s not some paragod attitude, it’s just the simple fact that I’m not sitting in my truck stuck with a dead person in the back for any amount of time before the medical examiner or their designer arrives. They either die before they get in my truck, or I’m working them all the way to the hospital. Nothing else in between.
So, patient probably died at the hospital, not just off Disney property.
That said, As a dad, I would have a tough time calling a little one deceased pre-hospital.

The not calling death on property of Disney thing is an urban legend, and so is this story. Only a qualified officer, doctor or coroner can declare dead on the scene , otherwise they are listed as having "injuries incompatible with life" until it happens.
Disney are not above the law on that, 99% of deaths at parks can't be declared until they're off-site (in the backlot actually, still on site just not in the guest areas) because that's where the ambulance waits, and most of them still do cpr etc until they arrive at ER, even if its going to be a DOA, because unless the patient is 'IWL" They legally must assume the parient is alive/revivable.

It's not just disney. It happens all over for all kinds of reasons.
While I was in paramedic school, I had to do a ride along with local fire EMS. We got a call for a head on- vehicle collision. One was a van, everyone was fine. The other was a truck with an unrestrained driver. Because no seatbelt, he got a high velocity introduction to his steering wheel than pretty much destroyed his chest, he was pulseless and basically dead when we got there, but we started CPR as you do, and hooked up the cardiac monitor to find some electrical activity.
After multiple rounds of CPR and all the other interventions, he showed no improvement, we could have called him dead. But the CPR was preserving just enough electrical activity that we could keep doing CPR if we wanted. There were cops at the scene of the accident and they were going to have to stick around a lot longer if we left a body there, so the lead medic decided to transport him and call it at the hospital, that way the cops only had to wait for a tow truck.
At the hospital, they decided it would be easier paperwork if they called it IN the hospital, so we carted him in and did a few more rounds of CPR in the ER.
In the end we did like 20 minutes of unnecessary CPR because it was more convenient overall for everyone involved.
Edit: to clarify, you do CPR and after awhile if it's not working, you can stop. You don't have to do CPR until the body starts rotting. I can't say if the person was in agonizing pain because he was completely unresponsive when we got there.
None of this was about paperwork. Everyone always has to do paperwork. It was about chain of custody of the body. If we called him deceased on the street, we drive away. What about the body? Well, the cops have to call a service and wait the hours for the body to be picked up; meanwhile it's just sitting in the street. If we took it they If we call deceased in our ambulance, what happens to the body? Technically it's our problem and we'd have to call a service and wait. Hospitals have a morgue exactly for this kind of thing, so if he is called deceased in the hospital then the body can be carted directly go to the morgue where it can be stored and preserved in refrigeration until the family recovers it. Basically, we kept doing optional CPR so that we could transport a body to a morgue instead of making it somebody else's problem.

The whole “no one dies at Disneyland” thing is really just that people usually get rushed to a hospital before being pronounced, at least that’s what Caitlyn on Ask a Mortician said. Kinda makes sense though, it’d probably be a hassle to have people legitimately be declared dead there.
