My dad was planning to come to LA with me right after the new year to help me move to my new apartment, and like every trip when he comes down, we were planning on doing at least a day down in the parks. Unfortunately, he was hit by a car while out on his bicycle three weeks ago. He's doing much better, and while he really can't help with my move at this point, he'd still like to come out with me for moral support. (And also because he's cooped up at home recovering and is bored out of his mind.) At this point, as long as the doctor okays it, he's still going to come out. We've been talking about what we might do while he's out here, depending on how recovery is at this point, and he mentioned still wanting to go down to the parks if possible. He has two broken ribs, and his wrist is in a cast from surgery. He's okay with walking around and will probably be more recovered by the time he comes next month, but I'd plan on taking it easy with lots of breaks/etc while we're there.
Questions:
1) What rides are downright out for him with broken ribs and a cast on his arm? (I'm assuming all the thrill rides at least)
2) What activities do you recommend for a low-key day at the parks for someone who's recovering?
3) Is this a good idea? Or should I talk him out of it?
For background, we're both huge Disney fans. I previously had APs for DL, and will be getting another one this year. He's only been to DL/CA a couple times, but was just in WDW and the Tokyo parks this year, so I don't think he'll be too bummed if he can't hit up everything. We're definitely up for more shows/trying new restaurants with much of our time as well. (Trader Sam's is a must-do since he's never been, and I think he'd like Blue Bayou since we went in Tokyo this year.)
Thanks for your advice!
