I got motion sick on the backwards part in the dark but then this is the first year I felt a bit of motion sickness on Peter Pan!!!!!! The pass by the Yeti is way to fast and 1/3 of the coaster is outside the mountain in some trees which is pretty bland. I did the "mellow side" of Mission Space. The take off and a couple other parts were cool. I can imagine it being great on the centrifuge side. I thought I was going to be fine but 2/3 of the way through the ride there is a portion that made me really sick. Grand Fiesta Tour is the epitome of what WDI needs not to do. It is the perfect example of how cramming animated characters into an existing attraction sucks. While it was never a great attraction it was an okay one and now it is stupid. It made me sick though it wasn't from the movement. The Nemo ride at the Living Seas was cute and simple and worked a bit better than the Nemo Subs at Disneyland. The Subs while beautiful are a more epic attraction adn nemo is an underwhelming theme for them. I did not get sick on this one. Mickey's Philharmagic is, for me, still the most over rated attraction in a long, long time. I got to watch AP'rs go behind the hedge and ride Toy Story Mania! Staying at Epcot until midnight was awesome. Parks were clean though a bit worn in spots. CM's were pleasant though some appeared to not care much about what they were doing. Whether was hot most of the time and the Love Bugs were not to bad.

This time I tried ginger pills...as you read, they didn't work either. I did have a wonderful time though. I still felt rushed and that I missed things after 12 days.

Originally Posted By Daannzzz The Flower and Garden festival is why I go in May. It was as good as usual with some really nice plantings.

The butterfly garden was small but had some butterflies. They were actually all over the place.
Originally Posted By sdlovesmickey The patches that are prescription that you place behind your ear work very well for flying so I wonder if they wouldn't work for motion sickness too? I always ask my dr. to prescribe them for me when I fly and you can leave them on for four days. I can do roller coasters just fine, but no rides such as Star Tours or Tower of Terror or I will get sick. I am too chicken to see if that has changed because I don't want my day ruined at WDW. I may have to use the patches and try the rides at the end of the day to test them out.
Originally Posted By Daannzzz It is funny. I do not get sick from flying unless there is prolonged turbulence!!!! I have not tried the patch but since I am terrified of taking off and landing on the plane I think I will ask my doctor to help me with that and the motion sickness on the next trip!
Originally Posted By sherrytodd I use the patches all the time for sea sickness, but after three days I start to get the side affects that start to affect my vision and have to take it off. But since I use them for sea sickness after three days I have my sea legs and don't need them anymore. Up until three days I don't have any side affects from them, but they do make some people drowsy. They work very well for motion sickness, but you have to put them on the day before to let it work into your system. It won't work if you put it on right before.

Originally Posted By sun-n-fun Dramamine makes a low drowsy tablet. That is what we use for DS12. He can't even drive 45 minutes to the mall without it. He's fine driving to WDW (19 hours) as long as he takes it with food about 30 minutes before we leave.
