I'm hoping to take my two girls and my mom to WDW this August. My mom has been having problems with her knees - lots of x-rays/MRI/CatScans, bloodwork, injections, medications, but nothing has helped. She's had so many tests, and they can't find out what's wrong! The worst part of it is, it all started many years ago at Blizzard Beach, when she flipped over backwards getting into a tube on the lazy river, and hit her knees on the bottom of the pool.
She can actually walk and walk for miles (I can't even keep up with her sometimes) but she can't go up stairs (or down) and sitting for prolonged periods of time is painful as well. She would actually be worse off if she used a wheelchair or ECV! I know it sounds wierd, but she actually does better if she keeps moving.
I'm starting to plan our days there, but I need to know which rides have stairs. I think Splash Mountain does, right? I'm planning on staggering the attractions with stairs so we don't do her in on the first day. We're also going to be careful on the attractions with the low riding boats, like PoC and the like.
I checked the FAQ section, but I couldn't find info on this subject - I know I saw it somewhere though. Anyone have a link?
Thank you,
Schmeck
