Thanks for putting the list together. That was something I meant to do, but we had guests this weekend and I'm still not back to my usual things.

No biggie Sue it is actually a cut and paste of info I found. I just highlighted stuff in red for the seizure risk. :)
 
Hi. I'm completely new to the Disney Boards. I want to thank you for posting this information. We are going to WDW in December and my 5 year old is now having non-febrile seizures, so this will be a huge help to my family. Thanks so very much!

Mary Disney was awesome with DS in Feb when we went and he was having 3-4 a day. So when I say "been there done that got the tshirt" I mean it LOL.

I have shared my experince on the boards so please if you need help navigating I will sure help you.

Sorry about the seizures but glad you found us. WDW is such a destressor for our family that we go often. Pretty soon I will need Disney Anonymous LOL

The day we were coming home was his last seizure so you could even say Disney cured my son. No I am just kidding. The seizures have been controlled since the 18th of February. So we are on our way to the one month mark :)

Any questions you have or any advice you need or have to give please post :)
