going to Disneyland and sea world coming up REALLY FAST!! June 16-23. We have 3 disabled kids. Autism, OCD ADHD just to name a few. I had posted a while back but I can't remember the name of it was it called A DAS that you get at the information place. I can't remember the place at where you get it. It's suppose to be like the fast pass. do they give you a map or where can i get one of the park??? I haven't been since i was very little. what things do you recommend I take and you guys have not been able to live without. It's coming up VERY FAST!

I take my sons head phones.. and he has a fanny pack for his own snacks.. and any other small things that make his life easy....
hoody for him to retreat into if he is overwhelmed.. plenty of breaks.. sticking with the rides he likes..
we take our own lunch into the parks.. as he is very particular as to what he is eating.. and can have a melt down if its not the right "whatever" I try to find a place for him to run around.. he has to stay calm and walk for so long during the day, that by midday he needs to run. the red wood challenge area is good for letting some steam off. also the petting zoo is a calming area.. if your boys like animals they have a sweet little quiet area that doesn't get too busy, and my son loves to just sit and watch and stroke the goats for half an hour.. on our first day we start at the back of the parks so that we can get our Mickey and Minnie photos done without too much wait time,.

As for the DAS go to City Hall at either D/L or C/A, explain that you need the DAS , if they give it to you,, they will load a ride onto there.. when you need to reload you will go to the green umbrella service areas throughout the parks,, I believe there is 4 in D/L and 3 in C/A. they should give you a map with where these areas are... also, ask for the Map with Disablity access .. This will tell you where to enter at the rides.. use the DAS in conjunction with the fast pass and you should be good to go.. The pass is there to assist you are your children with less time in lines, but it wont always get you front line straight away... if there are people in front of you with a DAS you will still have to wait. One ride in just off the top of me head is Pirates.. sometimes you can still have a good 30 odd min waith.. due to restricting the number of people with disabilities on the ride at a time..


Hope you all have a great time

Just a warning. Sea world is not good with disabilities. We had a very difficult time and my child was denied certain things she shouldn't have been and was treated horribly by the staff there.

My son is turning 16 this summer when we go; he has autism. He LOVES his ear plugs. We can tell he's a lot happier; but we have to repeat a LOT to him because we forget he's wearing his plugs. They really help him cope with the all of the extra stimuli
