Hello all!
I am very new to this forum thing but have been going to WDW my entire life. I had an ICD placement 2 1/2 years ago more for precautionary reasons. I have DCM and test positive for the gene for sudden cardiac arrest. I have never had an episode and my ICD is currently not even used for pacing, they will unlock that feature when needed. I have been reading many of the previous conversations about WDW with an ICD and everything I have come across is about 10 years old or so. My question is, Has anyone been recently with an ICD? What rides did you avoid (if any)? I am a ride fanatic and it is really bugging me that I might not be able to ride some of my favorites. I have consulted both of my Cardiologists and one said I had no restrictions and one cautioned me against roller coasters. So I feel stuck on my decision. Please help! We leave for WDW in a week!!
