Dh had an accident a few months ago and lost his 4 fingers on his left hand. He has his thumb and a little stub on his pinkie only.

We've been to WDW once before and I don't remember any rides that should be a problem but thought I should ask if anyone knows of anything we should be aware of being a potential problem.
 
Well, off the top of my head, I can't think of any rides that REQUIRE two hands, although the Buzz Lightyear ride sort of does in order to use one hand to shoot the canon and the other to spin the car (which is optional, really). I think he'll be fine, as long as he is okay with doing "look ma...one hand" on the fast rides. :)

Your DH should be fine. My sister has been many many times with no problems (she is missing 2 fingers on one hand).
 
I can't really think of any either.
If he wants to spin on Buzz Lightyear, he might be able to do that by hitting the joystick that makes you spin with his hand (you don't neccessarily have to grasp it).
The Teacups also have the ability to spin; it's a wheel in the middle of the cup. I don't know if he could spin it grasping with only one hand, but spinning is optional.
The only ride vehicle that you actually 'drive' is the Tomorrowland Speedway, but he could operate the steering wheel with one hand.
Mission Space has some buttons to push, but they could be pushed with either hand or with his thumb.
