One thing about the "for Kids by Kids" book. It includes what I'd call a "binary" rating system of icons on the rides. There is no indication whether "dark" means 5 seconds (i.e. PoC) or 2 minutes (i.e. Space Mountain). The "Unofficial Guide..." includes a table with things that may scare...

We just got back and my son is gluten/casein/soy-free and we had excellent experiences with Disney food service. We ate few meals in the parks and usually ate dinner in our room (Sheraton Vistana, which had a full kitchen). Publix carries some GF foods, and supposedly Disney gets some of...

BA, We just got back, and the things that helped us were: Go buy the Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World. Learn it. Live it. Love it. It will tell you things like what the rides are like, appeal per age group, scary things about rides, what time of day to ride, etc. They even have...

andijean, We used the foam type earplugs--I got a box of 80 at Lowe's before we left (we only took about 8 pairs with us), but we only actually used 3 pairs because we re-used them. These are VERY commonly available, and reasonably cheap. They're sort of hard to get in the ear canal...

My family, including my DS with Asperger's (including sensory issues), just spent a great week at Disney, but we would never have survived without....EARPLUGS! It seems like we spent a lot of time saying "what?" because unless you're within 3 feet of each other, it's impossible to hear, even...

In addition to the excellent info from everyone else, note that all counter service restaurants are supposed to have books listing the foods' ingredients. If you walk into a table service place without an ADR, let them know about your issue and they'll send you a chef. We used ADRs twice, but...

Our experience, having just returned is that some CMs are puzzled by nonapparent issues (i.e. autism, fear, etc.), but have no other issues with doing the swap IF the ride is set up for it. Space Mountain was no problem at all, but was a bit of a walk. The CM didn't even have a problem when...

My family, including my son with Asperger's, went to Cirque de Soleil's "La Nouba" show last tuesday. As we were entering, my son asked the usher whether the show was loud. She replied yes, and that there were earplugs at the side of the concession stand. Having left his in the car and only...

tink2dw, I can only hope that my son can someday describe what goes on inside his head as well as your daughter did. Such insights are pure gold! Would you please repair your link to Amazon, or post the title of the book? Richard P.S. for anyone fighting the IEP battle, remember that a...
