I wrote a long post on the disability board, if anyone would be so kind to read it and respond. Thank you.

My mom does but only in certain situations, not every day life. I can't answer any of your health questions but I can tell you what rides she was able to go on last trip if you're interested.

Thanks, I only go on the mellow rides in Disney because I have balance issues.

I am interested in knowing which rides your mom was able to go on.

I would imagine anything fast or spinning is not good.

Well different people have different kinds of vertigo, for my mom she can't do spinners or anything that reverses or confuses motion (so no teacups, dumbo, Expedition Everest or Space Mountain). She was fine on the 7DMT and Big Thunder, and all of the gentle rides in MK like Pooh, HM, and Little Mermaid. The last part of Buzz where you're going through a vortex made her feel a little "whoa" but she was OK. At AK she only rode the Safari. We only did 2 parks on our last trip because it was super short, but if I write a TR after our Xmas trip I'll be sure to include info on which rides she felt OK on.

I'm glad to see these posts too. Well not glad that anyone has vertigo, but glad there are others researching what I'm researching, so I know I'm not alone My wife has vertigo (I replied in your other post), and we have concerns about which rides she could go on at Disney.

She told me at one point, that I should take our daughter and go to Disney because she wants her to see it all. But I told my wife it would break my heart if we went to "the happiest place on earth" without her. I have been asking around though and it sounds like there's lots of good, fun, entertaining shows to see at WDW. There are also plenty of rides to go on that are more like "tour" rides and less of the spinning/speed stuff.

A friend of mine that just came back from WDW (Oct. 2015) also said that apparently most if not all the rides have notices in front indicating whether or not they are likely to cause motion sickness.

I did find this site that discusses rides. The author has written the article for people considered to be "wimps", which obviously isn't the case. But the descriptions of the rides are good for wimps, and motion sickness / vertigo sufferers alike.

This one is pretty good too:

We also intend to do Universal too, but from what I've been told, a lot of the rides are more intense simulator rides. But if I find out more, I'll definitely post here!
