While planning our most recent trip to Disney, I was a little worried about my autistic child who has high sensory needs. After an experience we had previously at Disney, we found he can get very anxious in line, and sometimes will get upset and not want to ride. A little harder to navigate if he choses to run or…

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.

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…
