We are planning our family vacation this year.
DS has SPD and ADHD, loud noises and crowds cause more difficulties than the norm. Long wait times in close crowded areas without movement is quite hard for him. It will result in major meltdowns.
We went with my parents last year during MLK weekend...it was bad, like real bad.
So this year we are planning to go from 2/2-2/6 (Tues-Sat), which according to crowd calendars for 2016 are quite low until the 6th when the cheerleading competition starts.
We plan on arriving to the parks before rope drop requesting for the DAS accomidation (if qualified) and then go to the most popular rides first to avoid any major crowds. Also, one of us will stay with the kids and the other will go to the ride attendant to request a time to return when applicable.
We will be bringing noise cancelling headphones, snacks, drinks and will be applying for his stroller to be used as a wheelchair too.
