Our Best Disney Trip Yet With My Autistic Daughter

If you’re going to Disney World with a child on the autism spectrum, definitely use DAS (https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/guest-services/disability-access-service/). It’s easy to set up, and being able to reserve return times makes the waiting so much more manageable.But if you can, I really recommend Disney After Hours. We went in April to Magic Kingdom, and it ended up being the best Disney experience we’ve had as a family. You can enter at 7pm, enjoy the regular fireworks, and then there’s a separate After Hours fireworks show. What I loved about the After Hours fireworks is that we didn’t need to use the disability viewing area for calmer views, we were able to stand right in front of the castle with plenty of space around us.Once the normal park hours end, the crowds basically disappear. Lines get super short (some rides were walk-ons), and everything feels more relaxed. We got to do so much more in a shorter amount of time without the usual stress.For us, combining DAS with Disney After Hours made the whole trip so much easier and way more enjoyable. I’d definitely recommend it to other families.

A Great Family Experience at iFly Orlando

I wanted to share our experience at iFly Indoor Skydiving in Orlando, because it turned out to be such a great activity for our whole family. We booked ahead, so the group was really small, just the four of us and one other person, which made everything feel calm and manageable. Before we went, I let them know my daughter is autistic, and they immediately said it wouldn’t be an issue. And they truly followed through. The way they guided her through the whole experience , with patience, kindness, and clear explanations , was honestly wonderful. They treated our whole family so well, and I’m really grateful for how smoothly it all went. What also helped was being able to show my daughter their videos beforehand, so she could see exactly what was going to happen. That preparation made a big difference for her. I went during regular hours, but iFly also offers All Abilities Nights (https://www.iflyworld.com/programs/all-abilities) for flyers who need extra support. We didn’t attend one of those, but it’s great to know they exist. Overall, it’s rare for us to find an activity that works perfectly for everyone, and this one really did. I’ve only been to the Orlando location, but I’ve heard positive things about other iFly spots too. If you live in Orlando or you’re visiting, I’d definitely recommend giving it a try.
