Have you been to WDW with one of these? how did it go? - The DIS Discussion Forums

Mikes:)Mom · 11-25-2009, 01:11 AM

so i just found out today that i have to wear this brace on my next trip in 3 weeks.

these braces are more common for a leg. has anyone gone to wdw with a brace on? did they let you ride all the rides?? i'm not even going to try the tot, i hold on for my life on that one

thanks!!

The simplistic answer is that you will be allowed on any attraction where you do not present a danger to others or possible damage to yourself or Disney property. If it is something where you normally would want to hold on with both hands I would advise against it.

However, for more and better discussion you might want to post this question in the disABILITIES Forum.

I would imagine that most of the calmer rides you wouldn't have a problem on (obviously)...such as Spaceship Earth, etc, but you may be the kind that likes a little more thrill. I don't think Disney will have much of a care if you do those lesser thrill rides.

I went to 6 flags with an ACL brace that was similar to your arm. My only issue was standing in long lines and trying not to get bumped. If your arm is painful or will be if bumped you might want to get a guest assistance card (GAC, I think that's what it stands for) so you can wait without being in the crowded line. The disabilities board has lots of information.

Have a great trip!

It could be worse...you could have that brace and NOT be in WDW

Good luck on your trip, I hope you enjoy it.
