Can we all go as a family in Special assistant queue
Hi, We are off to Orlando April 2018, My Grandson 8 years old has Autism and Sensory overload, We are travelling as a Family, All sharing a minivan and villa, Their will be, Myself, Husband, my younger Daughter (adult) My elder Daughter, Her Husband, Our Grandson and Granddaughter.
When we arrive in Orlando my Daughter has special assistance booked so our Grandson will get off the plane last and go through the special assistance queue, Will we all be allowed to go through together, If not they would need to wait for us which our Grandson would struggle with. I just wondered what the rules were regarding Families to go through together.

Sorry I do not know the answer but would be interested to know.
Our dd has dyspraxia and severe hypermobility, special assistance might help her, i didn't realise there was a separate queue for special assistance. We often give her a piggy back if she is suffering or tell her to sit on a hand luggage suitcase so unsure if she would qualify for it.

Just come back and Disney accomodated all 7 of us on the DAP for our autistic son. The only catch is that the autistic child has to ride whereas universal anyone can ride.

We are travelling as a group of 11. Now both my sons are entitled to Das at the parks so was thinking if we split them up we would be a group of 5 or 6 would this be ok?

Disney allow a maximum of 6 with the person so your split of 5/6 would be ok. I know they need to keep numbers controlled but we were a group of 8 and they always made one of us go to the normal route.

If you're asking about arrival at MCO- it varies. If you have special assistance booked the crew ask you to wait until everyone else has left the aircraft. You are then taken to the ' wheelchair ' line at immigration. A lot depends on how busy that line is- when my sister & I took my mum in her wheelchair, we all went through together- however another extended family ( several generations with grandma in wheelchair) were sent to the main queue and just one person went with the lady in the wheelchair. I imagine if it's not too busy then you can all go through.
Bear in mind though, even if you get through immigration quickly, there can be a wait for luggage. |

We had to separate. We where told you can only go through together if you all live at the same address. So it might be best for the rest of you to get off and not wait for special assistance and meet up at luggage reclaim.
