A good friend is going to Disney in a couple weeks with her extended family, and her niece shouldn't be exposed to any ride with strobe lights or otherwise intensely flashing lights. The more intense roller coasters (RnR, Space, Everest) are a no go anyway, but what else? I've been on all the rides and seen all the shows lots of times but have never really been tuned in to this issue. I also haven't been on the Pandora rides and just read that Navi River has some strobe lights?
 
I don't think there's any strobe lights on River journey. There's a brief flash of light on flight of passage right in the beginning.
 
What about the ride photos with flash? Might ought to list those for them too.

The Zurg in the battery scene will flash in Buzz Lightyear if you hit the right target.
 
Dinosaur in AK has multiple strobe light effects. One of the reasons I rarely go on it.

I'm epileptic and have the same issues. Pirates of the Caribbean have stobes in the first scene, certain places in Haunted Mansion. There are others but I think they have already been mentioned previously in the thread.

Be aware also that there are strobing and flashing necklaces and other things on carts at night that are sold esp at the MK for the fireworks etc. These bother me so they may bother her.
 
The flashing lights at beginning of Pandora are intense enough to trick your brain so it doesn't see the "garage door" lifting up in front of you. Last time I rode it, just to see I covered the panel of my vehicle with my hands and almost eliminated those lights from coming through and I could watch the door change. They certainly are intense enough they could trigger something. It is something I would read about further.

[Relative with flashing light triggered epilepsy, so we were always in tune to surroundings especially at amusement parks.]
