YouTube Videos on the Site


By Webmaster - Posted on 25 January 2009

     Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder usually love videos.  They provide security in an overwhelming word - because they are the same each time a child watches one.  As we were putting together this site, we wanted to provide parents as much information about rides at Walt Disney World as possible.  This led us to searching the YouTube archives for the best ride walk-through footage we could find.
 
     We wanted to explain that most of the YouTube video links on this site are not our personal videos.  We don't claim any copyright or intellectual property rights for the ride walkthroughs, and we are grateful to the contributors of the videos for the excellent job they did in capturing the ride elements.  Our hope is that parents can view these YouTube ride walkthrough movies and determine for themselves whether a ride is appropriate for their child with autism.
 
     Where possible, we have included our own footage of rides, shows, attractions, character greetings, and character meals, showing parents how our child with autism reacts, or how we interact with cast members to provide the best possible experience for our children. 
 
     Viewing these videos is entirely optional.  However, based on our experience as parents of a child with low-functioning autism, we recommend these video walkthroughs as a great way for your child to become acquainted with the rides and attractions of Walt Disney World in Florida, as well as other Disney parks as we add them.
 
     We welcome your comments and feedback on rides, as well as video footage if you care to share it with us on this site.

I find a load of videos in the site pertaining to WDW very fascinating! I can sense new characters I haven't met before (Gosh, I'm dying to see Marie, the white kitten from Aristocats!) and see the experience of an untouched (usually new) attraction from a cameraman's eyes! I hope they'll fascinate me as a Disneyphile!

Tip of the Day

Strollers for young children with ASD can be very helpful. Strollers help in several ways. The kids don't get as tired walking around the park. The stroller can provide a safe and familiar place for a child with ASD to retreat and regroup. And many strollers can be used as a wheelchair, allowing you to sit in the handicapped section at some shows and attractions. Find a stroller that will work for you and your child.
