Seating ie chair/sun loungers at water parks

[lynrip]

Am I the only one that finds the sun chairs/loungers too low at the water parks?

I have problems with my hips and on our last trip I really struggled to sit down and stand up from the chairs/loungers.

I take it there is no alternative?
Does anyone know?

It looks like sand chairs and lawn chairs which are low. I have the same issue. I’m taking a wide base cane to the pool this time to see if I can get up.
There are several rental options with better seating.

It's a been a... long time since I was at a Disney (or any) water park.

In this case, I would recommend going straight to Disability Services, and ask them for your alternative solutions.

Contact Disability Services at (407) 560-2547 or email disability.services@disneyparks.com

Know that they may not have the answer directly at hand, but will do their best to help you as soon as they can. In my experience they are very nice people who are often overwhelmed with guest requests, but they have always gotten back to me.

Thank you, but I'm genuinely glad to help; setting realistic expectations, and giving folks the best info we all can helps *everyone* have the very best Disney days they can - and I have been fortunate many times to be able to use the collective wisdom here, so I just try to pass that along to others!

We haven't done Blizzard Beach for many years, but I recall are some dining areas with regular chairs. Maybe that is an option for your seating.

I cannot get up from a low seat and I don't remember any seats around the water that were high enough. I was able to sit at the dining areas - kind of like picnic table seating. What I cannot remember is if they had any sort of "umbrella table" seating - like chairs around a round table - like they do around the swimming pools. I've only been to TL however.

While we love Typhoon Lagoon, my seating options for visits in the past few years have diminished considerably. The sun chairs and loungers are completely out. I can sit at a dining/picnic table, in a wheelchair, and in my favourite spot… on the “rock benches” on the water-facing side of the two little islands at the mouth of the wave pool. It’s a great place if you are Ok with getting soaked by the splash when the surf waves roll in. I think there is a ledge at the edge of the pool that I could sit on by Crush’N’Gusher, too. There may be a few benches to be found near the exits of other slides, but not many.

The private patio areas are just not in our budget.

I struggle with low seating too and since I also can’t really do the stairs we don’t do water parks anymore. I would probably get knocked to bits if I got into typhoon lagoon wave pool now. I could probably handle blizzard beaches wave pool. But not worth the money or effort for me now

I also struggle to get up from low chairs. There's a "You tube" video, something like "getting up the MacGyver way" which shows lots of little helps. I watch it periodically and find it helpful-think I'm about due again!

The Beachcomber Shacks Premium Plus has more normal seats. And a roof. Of course, at a price.
