Disney World with the kiddos!

We just got back from our first family trip to Disney World in March, 2013.

Disney so takes care of their guests with special needs.  We rented a stroller, a bit pricy, but worth it.  Next time I hope to bring our own wheelchair.  We got a pass to put on the stroller and could wheel it up to each ride since he has a hard time walking independently and with steps.  Up to 6 people can go on a ride with that pass.

Griff, 6, could ride all of the rides, though we opted to not try Space Mountain as he needs to gain some core strength.

We went to both Magic Kingdom and Hollywood Studios.  Both were fun and Griff got to be just a regular kid.  He also got some extra attention from some of the characters and one of the workers got Goofy to dance with him.  It was so sweet and fun.

We stayed onsite and rode the buses all around.  The buses had ramps so he could walk right on with his walker.

I know the policy has changed some since we were there in the spring.  A friend of mine just went and I am going to try to get some details from her to share.
