Wow! Fantastic! Any specific areas that you are you looking for advice in, rather than be bombarded! How old are the boys?

We have been twice now with our 2 boys both have SN. Make sure you let the Airline know for special assistance at MCO airport as it was really helpful for us. Are you staying at Disney. You can get a DAS pass at the parks so you dont need to queue too long.

How exciting for you all! WDW have lots of experience helping families with SN. I would advise that you explain the process of return times to the kids if using a DAS. We explained that we had to go to the ride to get an appointment and then we would go back when it was our turn. If your middle child has CP then a DAS might not be the best option. People in wheelchairs do not need a DAS. This page has contact details and information which you should find useful. disneyparks.disney.go/bl...rd-fact-sheet/

Have you booked special assistance through Thomas Cook? There is also a card you can have for people with hidden disabilities. It needs to be filled out & applied for before travel then you just show the card when you get off the plane and someone stays with you all the way thru the immigration process...

If you book special assistance somebody should help you all the way thru immigation until you get your cases... then you have a set of escalators & a shuttle to get out of the airport so I would DEF enquire with TC what further help they can offer thru MCO... What transport do you have the other end to get to your resort?
