Taking a Break in the Parks
Updated: Aug 28
When we travel with neurodiverse family members we know they need to take several sensory breaks a day when in the Disney parks. The parks are full of people and happy noise, but it can be a lot for a neurotypical person let alone someone on the spectrum for who crowds can be very overwhelming. (For our general post on navigating crowds - click here.) We definitely recommend looking into getting a DAS pass, but also knowing areas, attractions, and dining locations where the crowds can lull. We always try to build in breaks within the park during our day. Here are some areas we have found it useful to stop, recharge, and regroup.
