Hi there, Paula! Welcome to the wonderful world of planDisney! We appreciate you taking the time to reach out and allow us to help you plan your visit to Walt Disney World Resort!
As someone that also has Posterior Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTs), I am happy to say that I may have some helpful tips and tricks of my own that will assist your daughter in making the most of her visit to Walt Disney World Resort!
The
Disney Parks Disability Access Service Card is a service available to
Guests with disabilities that are unable to wait in a conventional queue environment. Guests with the Disability Access Service will be able to receive a return time to attractions based on current wait times allowing them to wait in an area that is more suited to their individual needs. This accommodation is not given based on specific diagnoses but, instead on the individual Guest’s specific needs. Guests may request usage of the Disability Access Service at the
Guest Relations main entrance locations of each park. Here, a helpful Cast Member will walk you through the registration process and work to identify whether this service is the best for your daughter’s needs.
I know walking long distances and standing for long periods of time can often aggravate POTs symptoms so another great option may be to rent a
wheelchair or
ECV for your daughter to use! Either of these devices may be rented at all four theme parks,
both water parks, and
Disney Springs on a first-come, first-serve basis. Rentals are available on a daily basis and equipment may not be removed from the rented location. If you feel as though your daughter may need one of these devices for the duration of your stay, you may also rent from an outside provider! The Disney Featured Provider, ScooterBug, is a private mobility rental company that is easy to book through and offers delivery to any Disney Resort hotel!
I also highly recommend making sure your daughter remains adequately hydrated throughout your stay and that you plan specific rest points during your visits to the parks. This is very helpful in managing my own symptoms during my family’s visits!
Best of luck continuing to plan for your visit to Walt Disney World Resort! Please let us know if we can answer any other questions for you!
