Disney with Special Needs Parks Breakdown: Surviving Main Street U.S.A.

We’ve spent a lot of time talking about getting ready for a trip to Disney. We’ve talked about picking the right resort, packing, and even planning ahead for what to expect by watching videos online. We’ve also gone over some coping mechanisms for dealing with special needs once you hit the parks. Most of those coping mechanisms, however, are fairly general. When thinking back on my last trip (and the one before that, and the one before that…let’s be honest, just every time that I’ve been), though, I realized that I have different needs for different parts of the park.

So here I am to introduce you to our next sparkly blog series…Park Breakdown. Together we’re going to explore different areas of the parks and different rides so I can tell you what to expect, what to look out for, and how you can cope with these things in all your super hero glory. Read more

Disney completed a redesign of the Cinderella Castle “hub” area last year and it is a lovely addition to this part of Magic Kingdom. A very park-like setting with grass, walkways and benches scattered throughout, this area provides a great place to relax and unwind on a busy day, as well as a great location to view Wishes and the Celebrate the Magic castle projection show.

Walt Disney always paid attention to detail in everything that he did. Even though he never stepped foot into the completed Magic Kingdom, his desire for authenticity was carried on. One of my favorite lands that exhibits this is Liberty Square.

Walt Disney World for Grown-Ups: What to Do at the Magic Kingdom

IMG_0468Walt Disney World can be just as much fun for adults as it is for kids, and even today my favorite of the four theme parks is the Magic Kingdom.

It has so many attractions that it can be difficult to narrow down a must-do list, but here are some of the rides adults should plan to visit. Read more
