After 6 trips in the last 5 years, I have finally put together the MUST-HAVE Items for you to take with you on your next trip to Disney World. Traveling with a child who has Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD), Attention-Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD) or on the Autism Spectrum (ASD), can be overwhelming. I find the best way for EVERYONE to…
I am so glad you are here! This website for me is a labor of love, because it all started within my own family. And what’s more love than a Mom and Dad’s love for their kiddos?! My name is Beth Roberts and I have three amazing and uniquely different kids. One of who just happens to be on the…
Triggers: n/a Pro: Interactive story telling, able to move around Exit: Due to moving between 3 rooms, exit is possible, but if you feel this is not a good fit for your child, I would just avoid the attraction. This is definitely more of an attraction than a ride! Enchanted Tales with Belle is just as the name would suggest,…
Triggers: Wait can be long before entering large amphitheater type room Pro: Super funny jokes, animations! Exit: Due to length of show, I would suggest if your child wants to opt out last minute, that your entire party (or at least one adult), wait with them through the exit doors. We don’t always hit this attraction on our visits, but…
Triggers: Some up/down movement in car, air blowing, bright colors with movement Pro: Pooh is a well known “safe” cartoon character, slow moving Exit: You can opt out and wait on the other side of the exit gate if the child is 8 years or older If you had asked me initially, I would have said this was a NO-brainer,…
While planning our most recent trip to Disney, I was a little worried about my autistic child who is highly sensory after an experience we had previously at Disney. He can get very anxious in line, and sometimes will get upset and not want to ride a ride. A little harder to navigate if he choses to run or step…
Triggers: Height to get to up to ride, wind in face, fast moving in circles Pro: Control over height of individual space ship, great views! Exit: You can opt out and wait on the other side of the exit gate if the child is 8 years or older If you are familiar with Dumbo or Aladdin rides, you get the…
Triggers: Short time in the complete dark Pro: Smooth ride, fun views of Tomorrowland Exit: Best option is to exit as a family if your child decides not to ride. The People Mover is honestly my SPD childs FAVORITE ride! You get a full tour of Tomorrowland both inside and outside the rides! You have a few brief moments of…
Triggers: Strong gasoline smell, loud roar of engines, stress of driving/pressing peddle Pro: Can ride with adult Exit: You can continue walking past cars and wait on the other side of the exit gate if the child is 8 years or older Funny enough, the Tomorrowland Speedway was a favorite of my SPD child UNTIL he thought it could handle…
Triggers: Could get dizzy/disoriented Pro: Complete control of individual cup spin Exit: You can walk directly to the exit wait on the other side of the exit gate if the child is 8 years or older The Mad Tea Party (or we call them the TeaCups) is a great short ride (and provides a cool breeze in the summer!). You…
