Disney Glow With The Show is not sensory friendly

I'm glad you are amazed. I was totally thrown by these hats at Fantasmic. With 3 kids sitting right in front of me with them it really messes up the show. The hats in the distance aren't bad. Sitting 12 inches from your face is bad. As I said it was like a camera flash going off. Well 3 cameras with the 3 hats. It momentarily blinded me like a bright camera flash does. The strobe effect happened maybe 6 times during the show and yes it was annoying. I didn't come to the show to not see it. There was a 4th kid there too with the hat right next to the other kids but his dad made him take it off as the flashing got to him. The color effects were neat and fun to watch. The fast bright white flashing was not fun and I hope they get rid of that one part of it. Just because you think this isn't a big deal doesn't make it ok for everyone else. So tell me, what is your experience with the hats? Did they bother you in Fantasmic? Wishes? Do tell.

Can't say they bother me. I think it kind of adds to the "magic". I didn't even see that many of them at the time. If something *does* bother me, I have two choices.....put up with it or leave. I'm a "put up with it" type.....I recognize that not everything is going to be ideal for me and that I have no right to expect that everyone must stop doing something that I don't like. But that's just me. YMMV. OK, I'm finished....I'm off to have some fun.

I found the hats NOT bright enough, actually, to justify carrying them around the park. And I get distracted very easily and routinely ask people (adults, not kids) to turn off glow swords and necklaces in the wheelchair section of F! and WOC in DL. (I figure in that section, I am not the only one with sensory problems)
