My mom is older, and my brother has to Jr. High kids so going to one park a day wont be bad for them, but I realy want to park hop. That way when my son just wants to ride dumbo we can do that. The second thing is that I have a autoimune disease that causes me to have blood clots so I take a blood thinner and I can not ride almost any of the rids. It just does not seem fair to charge the same for me who can not ride things, and my husband who will ride everything. Any suggestions on either of these things. Thanks Paula

As for your condition being an inhibitor, I can empathise as I am also on blood thinners due to high blood pressure. Thankfully, you can actually go on virtually all of the Disney attractions with the following exceptions: Splash Mountain Big Thunder Mountain Goofy's Barnstormer Maybe Indy Speedway Space Mountain Mission Space Test Track RnR Coaster Tower of Terror Star Tours? Dinosaur Primevil Whirl Kali River Rapids Expedition Everest Kilimenjaro Safari? But there are still more than enough attractions to fill 4 days. Have a great time!
