UPDATE: My Sensory child RODE it! (age 11). We made sure he knew in each stage of the ride what to expect (type of movement, when the main ride would start, when the drop happens..etc) and he LOVED it! What a great sensory success! UPDATE: Able to join virtual queue and RIDE in May 2021! Updated review below! EDIT: Trip…
Triggers: Confined spaces, jerky motion, loud noise, interaction for rider Pro: Interaction in wait line is really great Exit: You can opt out and wait on the other side of the exit gate if the child is 8 years or older EDIT: I am so incredibly proud that my child RODE this after many visits of stepping through. This is…
Triggers: Short roller coaster, Small drops Pro: Short track, only one small drop Exit: You can step through the seats and wait on the other side of the exit gate if the child is 8 years or older The Barnstormer is a favorite of my non-SPD kiddos! Unfortunately a big trigger for my son is ANY form of roller coaster….
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: Bright colors with movement, Loud music, swift movement (no restraints) Pro: Original Disney characters make this a safe, easy, fun ride. No actual dips/drops (simulated waterfall only) Exit: You can opt out and wait on the other side of the exit gate if the child is 8 years or older We were SO excited to experience this new attraction…
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 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…
Triggers: Drops, dark intense Pro: n/a Exit: You can opt out and wait on the other side of the exit gate if the child is 8 years or older Personally, this is always a NO for me. I have ridden it at both Walt Disney World and Disneyland. I do NOT enjoy the feeling of falling, and this is basically…
