When my disability's flaring up bad,standing for any length of time is bad, too.

Actually, that's not so, at least as of January 2007 - last time I was
at DisneyWorld. I was flaring badly and rented a wheelchair, and most
of the rides had separate entrances and exits. Haunted Mansion had an
escort, even.

Advice: Do not let an 11-year-old try to maneuver you though the entry
to Space Mountain. It is very twisty and hilly.

Back on topic: Speaking as one gimp, I would wear the blue badge. When
I crash, I crash hard, and walking/standing/anything is very
difficult. Why not ask the disabled attendees what they think? There
may be no issue there.
