A note from my autistic son.

[crashbb]

Thanks so much for the hint about the Hidden Mickeys in Soarin'. I will definitely look out for them.

Great report.

A note from his dad:
Ya think maybe he likes smileys?

I could tell.

Mission Space now has a non centrifigal line so you can ride WITHOUT the fear of "barfing". (It dont "spin"... less fear of motion sickness)
I did it once and swore I'd never EVER do it again, but with the new changes I plan to try it again this trip.

They started that right after our last trip. I am looking forward to trying it.

You probably figured out that he has Aspergers. Hes 8 years old. a VERY smart kid, if we could just control his rage and anger hed be nearly perfect!

I have a nephew with Aspergers. He has made a lot of gains in the last few years and has a lot more control of his feelings. I'm sure you will be in more control of your as time goes on and you get more practice.

My nephew and his mom came to visit us about a month ago. They really enjoyed a trip to the Mall of America. My nephew especially liked the big Lego shop at the mall.
He also liked going on my computer to play games.

Ooohh! I have found someone who loves roller coasters as much as me!!
I love the loud music on Rock n Roller Coaster. I sing along at the top of my lungs and have a blast.
When I ride Mission Space, I am not worried that I will need the barf bag. I am more worried that one of my fellow "astronauts" will need the barf bag, which will cause me to need the barf bag.
Dinosaur was such a fun ride. Everytime that dinosaur jumps out at the ride vehicle, I scream real loud. It scares me everytime.
Soarin is my favorite ride at Epcot. I always take my shoes off and try to dip my toes into the water or touch the top of the trees.
Thanks for the great trip report! It sounds like you had a great time. I hope you will write more sometime.

I have only ridden Rock N Roller coaster once, and I kept my eyes shut the entire time - that way I couldn't tell when I was upside down. You are very, very brave.

I will be sure to look for the hidden Mickeys the next time I go. I'll bet that you are a fun person to go to WDW with.

I like Dinosaur too.

My favorite new ride is the Expedition Everest.

I'm proud of your report and thanks for the hint onthe hidden Mickeys!!! I'm going next week and hope to get to ride Soarin..I'm going to an all Disney convention so I won't get to do many rides...I'm afraid of all the scary fast rides so I do the slow ones like Haunted Mansion...its my fav!!! I'm going to the Halloween Party next week and am going to be a Lady Pirate...what are you going to be for Halloween???? DJ

 

[hookedup]

Thank you for that great message.
We too like all those rides. The Rocknroller coaster is so fun but too short!
My son still also loves the ride in the giant ball in Epcot a whole lot.
We aren't big fans of Pecos Bills though, it was too loud for him in there.
Thank you for your report!

 

[IndyJammer]

(from his dad) Actually theres at LEAST 2. One on the golf ball that whizzes by, and a second in the fireworks!

Actually, I believe there is a third as well - but I can't seem to find it! When you soar over the hills and spot a golf course, look immediately to your lower left and find a golf cart. The man standing on the other side of the cart is holding a blue Mickey balloon. - Be sure to check out the DIS Thread on Hidden Mickeys in my signature as well!

It sounds like you had a great time!

Here's a picture of my son Tyler who's 11! He loves Dinosaur and R&RRC too! I think he likes the loud music b/c he has a hearing impairment and wears hearing aids! On our last trip - the R&RRC stopped and we got to see it with the lights on inside! You almost go straight up the wall on that very first flip!!!

 

[Bugsmom73]

Thanks. I love RNRcoaster and mission space. Dinosaur was not my favorite. I too love Pecos Bill.

You might see us there!!! We'll be there next week too! My son will be dressed like Sora on Kingdom Hearts at the MNSSH on the 29th.

I, (his dad) will be VERY easy to spot. I'll be in all white, with a big yellow oval on my stomach and devil ears. I'll be the "deviled egg". My wife is going as Corpse Bride so to speak, but more of a goth corpse bride. All black instead of all white wedding gown.

My son has been pestering me to let him post a thread here for weeks, so he told me what to type, and I typed it! He picked which smiley too. Heres what he wants everyone to know in his own words!:

I like Aerosmith roller coaster, but I do not like the takeoff too good.
My cousin rode misson Space and his dad had to use the barf bag.
I rode Dinosaur for the first time and I really liked it!
One time we recorded our Disney trip and when we got back home there was a flood across the street.
I rode Maelstrom and it was really fun!
I do not enjoy the ride to Disney World so much because it is very long.
I really like to go to disney World!
We ate at Pecos Bills and I really liked it.
When you ride Soarin there is a hidden Mickey in the fireworks.

Great report I wish I had known about the hidden Mickeys in Soarin' when we went! I did not notice them and would have liked to have seen them!!!

Our son is also eight years old and autistic. He also loves Walt Disney World and is anxiously awaiting our trip in November.

[Belle1962]

Wonderful!!! Please thank your son for all the useful information. Sounds like a budding Disney travel agent to me.

 

[Mimi Q]

Just wanted to say . Glad you said hello at the bus stop. I wore my DIS shirt, because I never see any of the green Mickey heads everyone says they put on their bags. Hope your family had a great vacation.

 

[MN Dis Fans]

Excellent trip report!
I'll be looking for the hidden mickey in soarin' when we go next month! We'll probably eat at Pecos Bill's too because my DS11loves their french fries. Actually, he loves any french fry!

 

[Liberty Belle]

I love the smilies! And thanks for the information about the hidden mickey. I hadn't noticed. I'll look for it next time.

 

[Boston5602]

I do not enjoy the ride to Disney World so much because it is very long.

We ate at Pecos Bills and I really liked it.

I don't like the trip to Disney world either , it IS a long time.

I always eat at Pecos Bills for lunch , I really like this place too.

Glad you had fun and thanks for posting your Trip report
