Hi JoAnne! Welcome back to planDisney!
Your mom sure is lucky to be feeling so well and to have a daughter like you who will still take her to visit
The Most Magical Place on Earth! I hope that when I'm 85 my children will still bring me to visit my favorite place in the world. I love hearing that she loves to ride
Soarin' Around the World. This attraction is so relaxing, it's a great way to take a break from the heat of the Parks but still feel like you're having an adventure!
You'll be happy to know that the
Rider Switch service is available for any Guest who cannot or does not care to enjoy an attraction. This means that even if your mother meets the height requirement you are still able to meet with a Cast Member as a group and ask for a Rider Switch entitlement. Have your entire party meet with the Cast Member at the beginning of the line and then send most of them on their way into the queue while one stays back with your mother. After the first group returns, the waiting party will be able to zip right on the attraction without waiting in line again.
While not all attractions and shows have a Rider Switch option, you can see the list of those that do in the link above. If your Mom is not ready for "The Wildest Ride in the Wilderness" grab a Rider Switch for
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, run and get her a refreshing DOLE Whip from
Aloha Isle and then relax in the shade while you wait for your other party members to return. It's a win-win situation for all!
I hope you and your entire family have a magical vacation and make memories that will last forever!
