Me and my wife are planning to go to Orlando in 2026. In Dec 22, my wife had an operation called Deep Brain Stimulation which involves placing electrodes in her brain which are connected to a pacemaker which sends out electrical pulses to the electrodes. We were told by the team that airport scanners and hand wands are a no-no and must be patted down instead. She has also been told to avoid magnets due to the pacemaker.
I have looked on all the sites for all the major theme parks in Orlando (Disney, Universal, Seaworld, Busch Gardens) but none of them seem that helpful in finding out information.
I am trying to find out what rides and attractions she would be safe to ride on. Many of the rides mention not to go on if you have had recent surgery but it will have been over 3 years since the surgery when we would be looking at going. Also very few of the rides have a pacemaker warning on the websites so unsure if they are safe to go on. Do the rides with magnets really affect the pacemaker that much as I would have thought the magnets would be far enough away from the pacemaker.
Sorry if this isn't worded the best but feel free to comment if you require clarification on anything
Any help or advice would be gratefully received on this please and thank you
