Needless to say, this isn't a good choice for expectant mothers or anyone with neck, back, or heart problems. For people with disabilities: Guests using wheelchairs must transfer to a ride vehicle.  Cut down on wait times by using Express Pass, or come early or late. By all means, use the available free lockers to stash loose items.
