I will be visiting WDW for the first time(never had the money to go as a child, and my father wasn't one for travel for more than a few hours at best) in the middle of September 2017, along with my mother(who is in her late 60s). Right now the plans are for Animal Kingdom the first day, a free day the second day with either the Disney or Universal Halloween event in the evening(I am assuming the Disney event will be taking place that day due to MK's scheduled close being 7pm), and SeaWorld the third full day(we have Busch Gardens Platinum Passes since we live in Virginia). It is basically a day's drive to Orlando for us. I have a few questions that perhaps you could answer for me.
1. Is Epcot doable in a partial day, if I target what I want to do, or would I be better off at HS or one of Orlando's water parks for my free time(probably just me, since I know my mother wants time to shop a bit)?
2. Are eyeglasses a problem on any of the rides, especially in MK(I plan to hit a few rides there if I attend MNSSHP)? I nearly lost my glasses on a roller coaster at Busch Gardens Williamsburg last October, so I want to know what to expect.
3. Will my mother, since she has high blood pressure and a heart condition, be at risk on some of the milder rides(though Disney seems to be far milder than both Universal and Busch Gardens as a rule)?
Thank you for helping a Disnewbie out.
