Does anyone know if this policy is different for a child on a wish trip? My oldest (10) will be taking his make-a-wish trip this fall. He's deaf (but with cochlear implant) and fully mobile (his problem is a very serious heart defect HLHS so he's had several surgeries since infancy), so he should be able to do this. But trying to get him to "race" to the line is simply not possible. His heart doesn't allow him to move very fast or very far. His idea of a run is basically a fast walk. I'm concerned that he won't be able to get a time. We're thinking of doing this around Halloween. It shouldn't be a very busy time, but that worries me. Do you know if they will allow a wish child to sign up the day before and avoid the morning race to the line?
This is likely our only trip to WDW. Neither my husband or I have ever been before either. My oldest also has two younger siblings who would definitely want to do this too. They will be 8 and 6 at the time of the trip and don't have any heart problems.
