Ride Restrictions with Oxygen Concentrators

[JodyLynC]

DH will be carrying an Oxygen Concentrator with him when we go to Disney World. He does not need to use oxygen all the time, just when he has overexerted himself. Are there any rides in which he will not be able to bring the concentrator with him even if he is not using it at the time?

Also, do the First Aid stations have a place where we can charge our battery? If we have an extra battery, will they allow us to leave it there to charge while we enjoy the park? I believe the batteries are good for 2 to 3 hours. Since he doesn't have to use it constantly, we are hoping having one spare will be enough to get us through the day. But it would be nice to have an option to charge one at the park if need be.

Thank you!!

you can leave thing in First aid that are medical so I would guess leave a battier would be ok not sure they would let you charge it there. ( I needed to charge a medical device for about 30 minute and I was told no) But it could not hart to ask them.

How long does it take for the battery to charge? There are places at the parks where you can charge things - I don't know any exact locations (thinking near the Tangled bathrooms, circus tent shop at MK, parts of Innoventions on the Land pavilion side, etc) but you'd have to stay there while it charged. Or maybe you could find an outlet when you dine?

I was wondering if outlets are available at restaurants. It would be convenient to do that.

ask when you go to sign in and let them know you have a medical device that you would like to charge. They do have them but it may not be right next to your table, if you are ok leaving it with in eye sight ( I had a CM bring my medical device to her office to charge when first aid would not let me, not saying they will do this) but there is a change that the CM will be able to find you a place to charge it while you eat,

I'm not sure where else has them, but SOME of the tables at Satuli Canteen in Animal Kingdom have electrical outlets.
