Rides and motion sickness

I tend to get motion sickness very easily, so I always beg off most amusement park rides.

I'd medicate! I've heard the thrill rides at Disney are much milder then thrill rides at other amusement parks.

You don't want to skip the rides (maybe a few, but definitely not all). Hardly any of the rides are amusement-park-type where you can watch everybody. Most are more to it and all inside where you can only see if you ride. There are many rides that you can ride in a wheelchair if that gives you any idea of the proneness to motion sickness. We're talking that mild. They just roll the wheelchairs right on. Even infants go on these.
There are a lot of boat rides and track rides.
You may want to avoid some of the obvious ones...including Mad Tea Party, the carousel and Dumbo/Astro-Orbiter/Aladdin's Carpets/Triceratops Spin, but you can see all of that...and then some of the big coasters. Oh, and definitely skip Star Tours and if it is possibly ope (probably not) Body Wars.

Mara,
I haven't read the other replies, so sorry if I'm repeating what anyone else said. I, too, have terrible motion sickness, but for me, medication isn't an option. The ggod news is that *most* of the rides at DW don't affect me too much, they are very mild. I avoid the ones that warn of motion sickness because they are usually right (rides like Star Tours, Tower of Terror, Space Mountain, etc.) but there are so many other things to go on or see, that I don't feel like I'm missing out. When my family wants to go on those rides (Sam's a HUGE Space Mountain fan, and DH loves Star Tours, lol) they fast pass it if needed and then I use the time that they're waiting & on it to get a little shopping in. We just all carry our cell phones, and they call me when they're off the ride and I let them know where I'm at. It works great for us. Good luck!!!!
