We are leaving for Disneyland on Friday to stay through next week for the kids spring break. My DS14 is autistic. He loves King Arthur's Carousel! He loves merry-go-rounds in general, but this is his favorite. He has been talking about it for months-since the last time we were there in December. "Where are we going on March 21? Disneyland to ride King Arthur's Carousel." Well, I went on the DL website to check out the schedule for our days and guess what's under refurbishment? King Arthur's Carousel! It is closed the whole time we will be there. I tell my DS that KAC is going to be closed while we are there and he doesn't get it at first, but finally we get to that point where he understands that they are cleaning and painting it. A little while later he comes over to me and says "Mom, I have a idea. We ride Dumbo to see King Arthur's Carousel." I say "yes, that's a great idea!" And now we have the repeated monologue that we are going to ride Dumbo to see KAC! I was in shock that he came up with this on his own and verbalized it to me! It was so great! I am so glad that I found this out ahead of time, too, or we would have had definate melt down at the park! Anyway, I just thought I'd share!
