Tips for Visiting Amusement Parks

Know When To Visit

Summer, holiday weeks like Christmas and Easter, holiday weekends, and weekends tend to be the most crowded days at Amusement parks. Since most autistic children don’t do well in crowds its probably best to avoid those days. Tuesdays thru Thursdays are the least crowded days and you will probably enjoy your trip more if you choose one of these days.

Get help at the park

As soon as you arrive, head straight to the park’s guest relations desk. Though very few parks require it, you may want to bring a letter with your child’s diagnosis. At most parks, the guest relations department will help your family with accommodations to make the entire experience more enjoyable. At the Walt Disney World theme parks, for example, guests on the autism spectrum are given the opportunity to access rides from an alternate entrance without waiting in long lines.

  2. I discovered your page via Google but I can’t find your Facebook page. I found a company that offers to create a custom Facebook page for free when you order one of their likes packages. I got a lot more traffic to my website once I had them set my facebook page up. You can check it out here: http://nsru.net/snaf
