Motion sickness on the kiddie rides

[LisaTC]

I have a Meniere's - an inner ear balance disorder and did Dumbo, I will say we kept the ride up and didn't go up and down. Would not EVER do teacups. Did not do Triceratops or Space Mtn (flashing) However, I could do BTMRR. It is about focus. If you can focus your eyes on one spot, you are less likely to be affected by the motion.

My motion sickness has gotten a lot better since I started flying regularly for work. The first time we went to Disney (in 2011) I thought I was going to be sick after Star Tours, and even Toy Story Mania made me a little sick (the quick turns combined with the 3D...just ugh). Now, the only rides that I avoid because just looking at them makes me queasy are the carrousel and the teacups. I've never had a problem with any of the traditional spinners (Dumbo, Magic Carpets, etc.).

Have you ever tried ginger? It comes in capsules wherever vitamins are sold. I use them for flying and boats and if I know I'm going to do something that will bother me. I take one or two depending on the length and amount of motion. They last quite awhile, most of the day, though I've not really timed it. But I fly 5 hours to WDW and only take them just before the flight, so they last that long. But definitely doesn't leave you with any sort of a drugged feeling.

That's actually a really good idea! I used to just drink ginger ale.

I will be so upset if I can't do TSM. I hope it works out for me. Thanks so much for all the help , everyone.

Same here I can't even look at the teacups without getting queasy.
Roller coasters don't bother me but the flight simulators (Star Wars) and spinny rides do.
I do a non-drowsy Dramamine regimen while I am there mainly so I can ride Star Wars, Soarin' and ToT without problems. My wife still rides the teacups, Dumbo and magic carpets with the kiddo though.
