Hi
We are going to Disneyworld on 24/10/03 for 15 days, our son is 9 and has Downs Syndrome. He uses a buggy most of the time on outings as he tires very easily, he does not like going into crowded rooms or halls (so shows could be a flash point) as he has sensitive hearing and queuing is a nightmare with him. As we are also taking our 16 year old daughter we are anxious that we minimise the problems as much as possible, so she can still enjoy Disneyworld to its full. Our son is very stubborn and strong willed which makes life a little frantic at times. If any one has any experience of being in Disneyworld with a child with challenging behaviour I would be glad to hear from them. The above description makes him sound awful when infact he is adorable just a little headstrong! 10 hours on a plane is another unknown quantity but he wont be able to get off so we will just have to deal with that as things crop up.

PS I think we are more excited than the kids.
