Disney Vacation Planning DVD
One of the best ways to prepare a child with Autism Spectrum Disorder for a vacation is through video. The more the child watches a DVD or video of the destination, the more familiar it will seem when you go there in person. Disney offers a free vacation planning DVD the explores each of the parks at Walt Disney World, including short snippets of video footage of popular rides and attractions. In addition to the DVD, you also receive pocket planning guides and park maps.
The DVD includes:
- Tours of the four major parks: Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Disney's Hollywood Studios, and Disney's Animal Kingdom Park
- Overviews of the two Water Parks: Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon
- Brief tours of the Disney hotel properties
- Information on new shows and attractions
- Tours of the California Disney: Disneyland and Disney's California Adventure, as well as the California resort hotels
We order this video every year, and watch it throughout the year with our children. It's a fun way to become familiar with the rides of a park, and you can't beat the price! There is no obligation to purchase anything from Disney, and you can opt out of future communications (be sure to uncheck the box on the request form).
We recommend that you order the planning video today, as it can take up to six weeks to arrive in the mail.

Just recently ordered the DVD a month ago and watched it while exercising! Am looking at photos from Flickr and what not and watching YouTube to increase familiarity of this vast realm in Central Florida that is known as Walt Disney World! Thanks for this pointer!
