Continuing on with our Christmas we start our trip with a visit to Disneyland and look at the holiday activities from the decorations, fireworks, parades, and attractions that undergo changes for the holidays. After a visit to Disneyland, we head back to Walt Disney World to visit the different resorts and see their many holiday decorations.

April is Autism Awareness month, so on today’s podcast we will be talking about visiting the Disney parks with someone who has Autism Spectrum Disorder. We explain a little bit about what Autism is, and how Disney helps those with ASD have a great experience at the parks. We will share our Disney experiences with our son who is on the spectrum. We also share some information that anyone with special needs could use to make their trip to Disney more magical. Much of this information is on our companion website: Disney for Families with Autism Spectrum Disorder (www.wdwautism.com), and the site is packed with different resources available to help with trip planning for special needs guests.
Here are some links on Autism that you might find helpful:
The attraction we will be focusing on today is Snow White Scary’s Adventures, located in Fantasyland in both Disneyland and Walt Disney World Magic Kingdom parks. This is our autistic son’s all-time favorite ride at Disney, so we hope you enjoy our information on it!
In today’s travel tip section, we are talkign about the Fast Pass ride reservation system. Both Walt Disney World and the Disneyland Resort offer Fast Passes for many of the most popular rides. We explain what it is, how it works, and how to make the most out of the system so you don’t have to spend hours in line waiting for popular attractions. For Disney’s official writeup on the Fast Pass system, please refer to one of the links below.
We then take a change from talking about Walt Disney World and head over to sunny southern California and the original Disneyland Park. We introduce you to the eight lands that make up the Disneyland park, and briefly talk about the differences between Disneyland and Walt Disney World. Here is the link to Disneyland’s Official website.
Then in honor of the soon-to-be-released “Alice in Wonderland” movie (directed by Tim Burton), we talk about two attractions at Disneyland that feature Alice. We first talk about the Alice in Wonderland dark ride in Fantasyland. The we move on to the famous Mad Tea Party ride (also know as “the Tea Cups”).
We hope you enjoy the show today! Because I grew up in southern California, I thought it would be fun to post a really really old picture of me (dig those 70s clothes!) with my family on the Mad Tea Party ride, from when I was a kid. Then compare it to a picture of me and my family now on the same ride at Walt Disney World. Enjoy the nostalgia!
