WDW with fractured ribs

[Paendrag]

Hello, my family and I have a WDW trip scheduled for Oct 28th - Nov 6th; unfortunately, I was in a car accident last week and ended up with 3 fractured ribs. Luckily, the trip is still a couple of weeks out, but I have been told it could take up to 3 months to fully heal.

Some friends and family think we should reschedule the trip, but I dont think that's necessary.

Does anyone have any past experience or recommendations on how to make it through a week at WDW without re-injuring my ribs?

Thank you.

I am definitely going to avoid Dinosaur, and I was thinking I should avoid Star Tours as well.

My sister was in an accident shortly before our first trip to WDW in 1998. She didn't know it at the time but she had a fractured rib. She is a big roller coaster/thrill ride fan. The only ride she really had problems with was Big Thunder Mountain. I was sitting next to her and heard lots of curse words! Some of the other rides bothered her but BTM was the worst. She didn't ride RNR because I refused to ride that with her. She finally went to the doctor after we got home and he was surprised she had done so well. She was probably about 35 years old at the time.

I would start out with a few easer roller coster like space and see how you do.

Avoid Primeval Whirl.
If you want to ride Star Tours, ask if there are non-moving seats.
I'd skip RnRC and Stitch, because of the overhead harnesses.
Mission: Space Green is iffy.

There are no none moving sets in star tours
