Traveling to Walt Disney World® is overstimulating enough without sensory differences; but, for those children and adults with sensory processing disorder, it can cause one to become angry (fight), run away (flight), or completely shut down (freeze). This is a compilation of sensory friendly spaces that may assist in maintaining regulation throughout your entire vacation whether at a resort or in one of the four parks.
Baby Care Centers: All four parks have these centers which include A/C, rocking chairs, quiet rooms, and huge changing tables.
Sensory Friendly Spaces: Disney’s Animal Kingdom®
The Pangani Forest Exploration Trail and Maharaja Jungle Trek®: A great walk with seating off the beaten path.
Conservation Station®: The only way out to this location is by train, which a lot of children love. Then, there are spaces and dark rooms inside with air conditioning to get away.
Dinosaur Trails: Right in front of the DINOSAUR® Attraction there are trails with benches. They’re in the shade and very few people realize that they are there.
Walkway where stroller parking happens for Nemo: The area that is at the BOTTOM of the Nemo area (where the show lets out), near the bathrooms, where you can relax for a while.
