Favorite Travel Memory: 

I'm the mom of two special needs children and we first took them to Disney World in 2023. During this trip, we discovered that our son had a sensitivity to the automated camera flashes when you meet some characters. We explained this to a cast member who heard our concerns, switched off the camera boxes & made sure we had a sensory friendly experience with Anna and Elsa in Epcot. I teared up because I never expected to receive such understanding and accommodation for my children. This was our first big family vacation and I knew that Disney just won my heart.

Disney Travel Advice:

It can be hard to pull the trigger and book the trip when you are unsure how your special needs child will react in a new environment. My biggest advice is to go for it! Disney has amazing accommodations for special needs children and I am here to give you my pro-tips after our many experiences at Disney World.

My Favorite Travel Tip:

Traveling between the Disney World parks can be just as fun as visiting the parks themselves -- especially if you have a kiddo who loves transportation! Take your time and enjoy Disney's transportation, especially the monorail and skyliner. It may be a family memory waiting to happen!
