    What happens if you have a child that does not understand to go to a cast member for help? Are cast members trained to look for children that are by themselves?

    How to get autistic son to McDonalds without a car?

    We stayed at Movies and found the walk would be to long. It looked very doable from Sports. We went to Sea World and Universal twice and on the way back we had the cab driver go through the drive thru for my son with Autism. I understand what the OP was saying as my son would not eat the...

    WDW to use Wristbands in place of Tickets

    What would they do with someone who has Autism and is hypersensitive and can't wear it? We have to remove tags from clothing for my son. He would never wear something on his wrist.

    how bad are the crowds

    Spring Breaks can vary. Most are in March especially near the end. You should be clear of most spring breaks by April 13.

    Going, going.............

    Not every ride is a fast past so they would run into problems with this scenario. That is why they have alternate entrances. Example going through exits like It's a small world. I have two kids with Autism and they are a different level. My daughter would handle the waits. My son complete...

    Say it ain't so....no more GAC?

    Actually Sue, when we went to Universal in August the card was good for two back to back days for us. We did not need to go to Guest services on the second day.

    Flying With Syringes in Carry on?

    We came across the border from Canada in August and had them in our carry on in a clear ziploc bag and had no issues at all. I'm sure having the meds in the same bag makes it easier for them to check as well.

    Say it ain't so....no more GAC?

    I would find it very strange if they were getting rid of the GAC. I have two children with Autism and recently was called by the head of guest relations and she was happy to hear how much the GAC card helped us on our recent trip. It certainly did not sound like they were phasing them out...

    Does Soarin' feel real?

    We went on Soarin four times during on trip in August. We loved the ride but front row center is much better than third row on the side were you see feet dangling from the other rows. We noticed 3 out 4 times the screen was clean but one time black spots were appearing a few times. It's...

    Spring Break in Canada is last week of March and usually the States is very close to this. I'm sure you will be fine in late April.

    Three Hours at Airport Before Flight??????

    Another thing you have to take in count, is that DME picks you up at your resort (in our case Movies) and also stopped at Music, Sports and Coronado. This can add quite a bit of time as well.

    WWoHP and Animal Kingdom question

    We stayed at All-Star movies which is very close to Animal Kingdom. The cab took about 25 mins. one way and was about $40 + tip one way. The Animal Kingdom park usually closes earlier than most parks. You would need a good 4-5 hours to do everything at the park. As for Harry Potter it...

    Seaworld-thoughts?

    We were at Sea World on August 16th,2012. We got to the park around 9:30. Watched the Dolphin show at 10. Good show. At 11 we watched Clyde & Seamore, lot's of fun. After the show, we had lunch in a very empty Voyageur restaurant at 11:45. Decent food. Not bad price. We paid for a private...

    School had my 11 yr old special needs son arrested

    I'm curious about something. You mentioned in another post that your daughter learned nothing the year she was in a class with many kids with behavior issues. Can I ask why do you work with special needs kids if it seems tough for you? Perhaps I have misunderstood something but it seems like...

    Walt Disney World Receives Gold Autism Award

    Nice to see that Disney received some praise for their efforts. This should help all disabilities. The more a company can see they are making a difference, the more likely they are to do so in the future. Often unheralded, but used every day, Walt Disney World has top of the industry...
