So my father has Parkinson's and I already know I have to wheel him around the whole park. I will be taking my mother and father, my wife and 2 kids (girls ages 5 and 8). I was wondering what rides could he go on and how do I go about getting him on rides? we only want to do a few with him but he really does want to see his grandchildren have fun. Do we go into a special line? Do we see someone in the park to set this up?

This really is going to depend on how bad his Parkinson's is. Is he able to walk short distances or is he unable to walk at all? For some rides he may be able to stay in the wheelchair (little mermaid is one off the top of my head) but in others they can slow down the belt or stop it completely for him to be able to transfer from wheelchair to seat.

Also you might want to post in the disabilities forum if you haven't so that people who have traveled with family members with similar situations (mobility limited to wheel chair) can help you more specifically.
