Disney world

Greetings. (Yet I surely  I am the only one who HAS actually been there... long ago, about 30 years... y'know, before the Internet, and when television was in black-and-white, and cars had to be wound up...y'know...?   (!) )
Seriously, though. Diagnosis did not exist for me back then. But, around age 10, I was taken there, and was excited about meeting certain characters which I liked (Daisy Duck, Minnie Mouse, etc.).

This is my advice, maybe...
Waiting in line for HOURS was difficult, so try to go at a quiet time (very early, very late, in winter)... but I was excited about going upon the Rides (thinking about the rides and surroundings excited me)... but in the end I was looking forward to meeting my favourite characters. (But Daisy Duck did not show, Minnie Mouse was on-stage only... and so I had to make do with Chip and Dale!)
Provide lots of distractions and information about what to look forward to (rides, characters, food, whatever) and do not leave the child alone. Do not become anxious yourself, and point out a lot of the other things going on (not people.). If children are upset, and distraction does not work, then ask what is wrong in consideration of what THEY want to see instead.

The main idea is a sort of "immersion in their/the fantasy"... or something like that...?! And that applies to ANY theme park, I think. If there is an interest in something, then focus upon that.

...This is not a very busy Thread, and so I did not spot this until now. I meant that surely I am NOT the only one... but so far, it seems that I am...? I was just a child... I cannot afford to Travel much nowdays.

Also, I may add... the sight of PLUTO (the Dog) walking upon his hind legs was a little scary at the time, also. (!) And upon the Rollercoaster Rides, they insist that persons take their spectacles off, and so I did not enjoy "Space Mountain" at all, because I could not see a thing in there. This is another thing to consider. Not sure that I may Post more, now, but Thanks for the Thanks anyway..

Thank you for that reply it’s realky helpful!
