BF has 9 yo DS (Andrew) w/ Hydrocephalis and Spina Bifida. Excuse me for my ignorance, I'm trying to learn as much as possible about him, but BF gets too emotional when discussing it, so he's not much help. (Cindy, thank you for your posts - very helpful) BF has been divorced 1 year, so he's not really used to taking him out and doing diff. things. I finally talked him into bowling with his 3yo DS and my two boys (6&10). They are all so amazing together and bowling was a huge hit.
I'm trying to talk him into us taking them all to Disney next June, but he thinks it wouldn't be fair to Andrew b/c he wouldn't enjoy it, so I'm surprising BF with a quick trip to Disney for Labor Day weekend so he can see first hand how much Andrew will enjoy it. BF has never been and just thinks it's one big park with lots of roller coasters.
Can you please suggest things that I should show BF to make sure he gets a full understanding/appreciation of what Andrew will experience at Disney? Any and all suggestions on where to stay/eat/ride, whatever would be greatly appreciated.
I'm considering staying in an Epcot resort for convenience, but am afraid two rooms will be way out of our price range.
I should mention, Andrew is unable to walk at all, but is only 32 lbs, so can easily be carried for short time spans. He is capable of eating on his own. He is not incontinent, but must be carried to the bathroom.
Thank you for your help
