Sorry to hear about your diagnosis.
It's late, so I can't stay up to write too much, but will start you out at least.
Since you are just undergoing your first round of chemo, you won't really know how it will affect you. We just came back a couple of weeks ago from a WDWtrip with my mom, who is on chemo for colon cancer. Since she started treatment in October, she has a pretty good idea of how she will feel at various points in her chemo schedule.
The drugs most commonly given for Hodgkin's typically cause nausea and hair loss. It's hard to say to what extent they will cause that for you or how quickly, but both are something to prepare for. Most people undergoing chemo also experience fatigue. You will probably need a wheelchair to help you conserve energy. Many people like to use
ECVs (motorized mobility scooters), but it's important to keep in mind that using one requires concentration and alertness. So, although using one keeps you from getting tired from walking, it may make you more tired from having to be alert all the time. For that reason, some people prefer a wheelchair, even though it means someone needs to push it.
Some attractions have wheelchair accessible ride cars, which means you could stay right in the wheelchair to ride. This can be very helpful if you are tired or in pain.
Many people on chemo have their highest energy level soon after getting up, and then get tired later in the day. Whatever time is the best for you is the best to start out at the park. If you find you are tired and want to lie down, each park has a first aid station where you can lie down in a private room or cubicle.
