If you’re a parent or caregiver of a neurodivergent child, the thought of visiting a theme park can feel both exciting and overwhelming. Between the crowds, the noise, and the unexpected moments, there’s a lot to navigate. But here’s the good news: with the right tools and preparation, places like Disney World, Universal Orlando, and Legoland Florida can be magical for our sensory-sensitive kiddos.
In the latest episode of the Just My MomSense Podcast, I’m sharing some quick tips and tricks I’ve learned from traveling to these parks with my kids. Whether you’re planning your first big theme park adventure or want to improve the experience for your family, this episode is for you.
Listen to the full episode here or on your favorite podcasting platform!
To go along with the episode, I’ve created a printable Sensory Friendly Vacation Prep Kit available now in my Etsy shop:
- Visual Schedule Cards to help kids understand the flow of the day
- “My Day” prompt sheets to prep for big outings
- “I Did It!” badge to celebrate bravery
- “I Need a Break” card for when communication gets tough
There’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to sensory needs and that’s okay! What matters most is meeting your child where they are and giving yourself grace as you go. Theme parks can be a great experience for you and your family.
