Pssst, listen up:
Everybody deserves to experience the magic at Disneyland.
As an OT and mom to a neurodivergent 4 year old, I knew going to Disneyland would be full of sensory triggers.
I actually put it off for a few months because I was dreading dealing with her meltdowns in my most sacred, special place where I'd spent so many beautiful memories there growing up. I didn't want it to turn into a sour memory full of meltdowns.
But also, as someone who grew up at Disneyland and has a crazy adult obsession with it, I was determined to not only bring my child there, but to make sure she still felt comfortable and safe to enjoy it, even with all the sensory stimulation.
Since getting Disneyland passes and going weekly, I've had a lot of practice. I figured out a fool-proof way to enjoy Disneyland with a neurodivergent child, and that's what I'm sharing with you in this vault.
The last thing you want to do is "wing it" on your Disneyland trip that you've already invested so much money into. You need to make a plan for how best to tackle your day(s) with your neurodivergent child, including knowing which triggers to avoid from certain attractions.
