Am I the only one that finds the sun chairs/loungers too low at the water parks?
I have problems with my hips and on our last trip I really struggled to sit down and stand up from the chairs/loungers.
I take it there is no alternative?
Does anyone know?
Mamabunny I swear Disney should be paying you for all the work you do for them! You have been super helpful to so many folks.It's a been a... long time since I was at a Disney (or any) water park.
In this case, I would recommend going straight to Disability Services, and ask them for your alternative solutions.
Contact Disability Services at (407) 560-2547 or email disability.services@disneyparks.com
Know that they may not have the answer directly at hand, but will do their best to help you as soon as they can. In my experience they are very nice people who are often overwhelmed with guest requests, but they have always gotten back to me.

This is my reply from disability services.Thank you, but I'm genuinely glad to help; setting realistic expectations, and giving folks the best info we all can helps *everyone* have the very best Disney days they can - and I have been fortunate many times to be able to use the collective wisdom here, so I just try to pass that along to others!
Thank you for contacting the Walt Disney World® Resort and are pleased to hear that you will be visiting us again soon. We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback with us and are sorry for the disappointments you mentioned in your e-mail regarding the seating provided at our water parks. It is our goal to create magical memories and exceed the expectations of our Guests during each and every interaction that you have with us. Please be assured that we have shared your comments with our Leadership team, along with the appropriate management, as feedback such as yours is taken very seriously.

I cannot get up from a low seat and I don't remember any seats around the water that were high enough. I was able to sit at the dining areas - kind of like picnic table seating. What I cannot remember is if they had any sort of "umbrella table" seating - like chairs around a round table - like they do around the swimming pools. I've only been to TL however.Am I the only one that finds the sun chairs/loungers too low at the water parks?
