Strokes and Disney World Question...

[DizFan101]

Hi everyone,
for 5 years my mom and I have been going to Disney World for 5 years now at least once a year (2x in 09). However it has just been her and I mostly because my dad hates the weather/lines.

But, he has changed him mind about 2011. His agenda is "i'll only stay in the parks til 3pm and then go back to the resort to go swimming." lol.

Unfortunately in 2009 he suffered from a small stroke (he's in his late 50's.) i forgot what kind of stroke he had but the dr said if he was going to have a stroke it was the one he wanted to have instead of the bad one. (it was due from painting ceilings etc).

Anywho, are there rides / attractions that he can't do because of this past stroke in 09?

I would talk to his doctor about it. Is he supposed to avoid body stressful things?? Like Mission Space orange side?? Is he even into thrill rides??

Only spending time in the parks till 3, I'm sure there's plenty of tame things to do, and then you can enjoy any of the other rides you'd prefer.

I'd also have him ask his doctor. I would think RnR would not be good for HBP. I remember once my mom got off that ride and her face looked like a tomato! I thought she was going to have a stroke right there!
She loves ToT though. I have a hard time gettig her off of it.

When my dad had cancer, we would stay at the Swan or Dolphin and he would go to the parks in the a.m. and go back to the room in the late afternoon and rest. That worked out just fine.

I hope you have a great time with your parents. I would not trade the memories I have of doing the parks with my parents for anything!
