Portable Oxygen

[WeemanMom]

Since my mom's last visit to Disney she has become depended on oxygen. She have a portable concentrator and she has portable tanks. Any thoughts or suggestions for a successful Disney trip? Will they let her ride some of the rides? Obviously she can't ride the more robust rides.... but will Disney allow her on rides such as It's a Small World, Ellen's Energy, Backlot Tour, etc?

Also, her concentrator has two batteries...one is an 8-hour battery and the other is a 4-hour battery. Is there anywhere she can recharge her battery? For instance, during a table service meal?

Although her concentrator has wheels, she will be bringing her own ECV which will be helpful.

Thanks for your feedback.

You will find more information about oxygen in post #3 of the disABILITIES FAQs thread. That thread is near the top of this board or you can follow the link in my signature to get there.

For the rides and shows, she will be able to bring it on anything that doesn't have a warning. Those are the less 'tame' rides where an oxygen tank could get jostled around. Soarin' doesn't have a warning except for fear of heights, but they don't even allow people to wear hats for fear of them being dropped, so I'm quite sure oxygen would not be allowed.

For charging, you can leave the extra equipment in First Aid - there is one in each park. If you want to plug it in while you are eating, let the CM know that you require an outlet when you check in.
