Disneyland Rides That Might Make You Sick: Prevention
If you’re prone to motion sickness but still want to enjoy a Disneyland vacation, a little preparation can go a long way.
First, get the best deal on your Disneyland vacation by booking multi-day tickets and hotel with our partner Get Away Today. Use promo code HAPPIEST10 and you’ll save $10 off already low Disneyland vacation packages. 
Second, stock up on over-the-counter remedies like non-drowsy dramamine made from ginger
Kara N. in my Disneyland with Kids Facebook group said, “They are just ginger in pill form and work wonders. We used them at the park. They don’t make you tired at all.”
Another member of Disneyland with Kids suggests chewable Bonine motion sickness protection.
For simple solutions without taking an oral medication or remedy, you might try Sea-Band, the natural nausea relief
What remedies do you bring along with you for motion sickness at Disneyland Resort?
Disneyland Rides That Might Make You Sick: First Aid
Did you know Disneyland Resort is staffed with nurses during park operating hours? That means if you begin to feel sick, head over to First Aid on Main Street, U.S.A. next to the Baby Care Center in Disneyland Park or next to Chamber of Commerce on Buena Vista Street in California Adventure Park.
Nurses on staff can offer quick remedies and over-the-counter medication. Of course, if you’re having a medical emergency, call 911.

Does medicine actually help
I don’t have any problem riding things, so I can only say from observation. I know a lot of people use these type of meds for cruises and find them to be helpful. You could always try some and do a ride that’s less likely to make you sick before moving your way up.
My motion sickness is getting so bad that It’s a Small World makes me sick now. 🙁
Oh I am so sorry! Luckily, people watching is a great way to pass time at Disneyland when others are riding.
My sister gets motion sick so easily. She takes Dramamine any time she flys. I think hers has a lot to do with anxiety though and if she’s be able to calm down it wouldn’t happen so much.
Good to hear she has something that makes it easier on her though. I love that there’s non-drowsy options because of course you don’t want to fall asleep at Disneyland!
I’ve realized that my stomach is getting much weaker with age! Who would’ve though the carousel would make me sick 😂
Brenda, my mom is the same way- she’s never been able to look at or ride carousel’s!
Goofy’s Sky School is definitely the worst for me: jerky, roller coaster, feels like I’m going to be flung off the edge … it’s all bad. 😂
It’s funny, I hated that ride the first time I rode it. And even though it’s still on my “what not to ride” list, I like it now that I know what to expect. It’s just like you said, jerky and feeling like you’re going to be flung off the edge!
