From my experience, there are no restrictions on what you can and cannot do. Given this, there are some rides that may not be comfortable to ride in casts. From a rules standpoint, you may do whatever you are comfortable with.

This is up to the individual on what she can go on when it comes to rides. I feel anything where you have to old onto will be difficult. But again, perhaps not. Go on the vacation, laugh, eat, play, see shows, go on the rides where it is easy and just use caution on the ones you may want to hold onto. You're going to Disney and will be there having fun in a place to forget about troubles and just have fun.

Ouch.... thats got to be a big hindrance in her life. There would be no restrictions, so its up to her to see what might need to be avoided. Some of the rides are rough and will jostle her side to side. Even with 2 good hands holding on its rough. I'd scope out the rides and see which ones she might have a difficult time with and avoid those. Also some ride cars are limited in space and she may have a harder time loading and unloading. The CM's can halt the ride momentarily to assist her in handling getting in and out.

I think I'd stick to very tame rides. I'd also talk to her doctor.
Several posters have said no restrictions, but I should think any ride that requires her to personally push on a restraint would be ill-advised, if allowed, like the coasters.
For me, I would not want to experience a reinjury. The casts are temporary. You'll have other opportunities to visit WDW.
I should add, you might be inside the cancelation window if you bought a package, but often WDW will work with you if you ask about postponing. So no refund, but strong odds you can put whatever you paid towards a future stay.

Have a blast.

I love that idea! But just so you know, “characters are not allowed to sign anything (casts, t-shirts, etc...) on a Guest's body.”
EDIT:
Now with that being said, it is up to the character. I’ve seen many characters sign guests casts, but if you’d like one to sign yours, just be prepared for the possibility of one declining.

I’ve updated my posted after learning something from one of Mickey’s friends…
They can (oftentimes, but not always) sign casts, but it’s (usually) just up to them. Many may sign the cast, but some might not. Wish you the best of luck though!

OMG, your poor wife!
So I went to WDW post broken finger, and I can actually say it was fantastic because I didn't have to do a darned thing for myself. My poor finger just got a break from it all.
TSM and Buzz Light-year Space Ranger Spin are probably going to be tough for her to participate on because of the shooting aspect of it. Same with Millennium Falcon Smugglers Run. RNRC would also probably be uncomfortable for her with the restraints.
Other than that, there's no restrictions on rides with casts. Just make sure to bring something to cover the casts in case of rain.

Thanks! This was a while back, so other than not being able to fully close that finger, it's healed. But yeah, going to WDW was great because I didn't have to do any food prep, chores, etc for over a week. Came home and was in a lot less pain.
I actually had CMs ask me if they could sign my brace. Unfortunately it wasn't the type of cast you could sign, but I'm sure you won't have any problems with people signing it.

So many questions (but too personal to ask on here) 
Seriously though, I hope you have a great time and find most things accessible.

Have a great trip! I did Disney in a back brace as a teenager and that was a challenge then. Make sure to ask the cast members at Slinky Dog Dash, Big Thunder Mountain and Rock n Roller Coaster for the accessible row. It has a specially made door that makes it a lot easier to get on and off, which is important. Attached is a photo of the Big Thunder Mountain special row at Walt Disney World, seen in the row to the left. Both sides open and make it an easy transfer.

Her arms are in casts, not her legs. Getting on and off won't be a problem, actually being on the ride and holding on will be a problem.
I hope OP and his wife aren't expecting to ride many rides, as CM's may turn them away for obvious safety reasons.

I fell in the shower during the pandemic, and broke my collar bone. Luckily, my wonderful wife was there to help me. I had a steel rod put in my shoulder, which the amazing doctor removed after my shoulder had completely healed. I went to Disney when the rod was still in my shoulder. I still managed to do my PT at Disney and enjoy the rides. Be careful when your taking showers btw.

Luckily my wife works for an orthopedist. I can completely empathize with your predicament. Hope everything works out for you all and I hope you have a great trip.
