We took the boys (4 and 2) to Disney World and it went surprisingly ok. It would've been intolerable without the Guest Assistance Card, which I found to be pretty generous. And we discovered that John LOVES roller coasters. I'd love to try SDC or Six Flags -- curious how their accommodations for autism stack up to Disney World. Any experiences?

So sorry, I misread the question. Ok we went to SDC two days ago.they were so awesome! I was worried at first when I got to guest services because they were a little confused. They gave me a handicap looking brochure. I was given a nice little bracelet at Disney World. I thought what the heck is this going to do for us. Then someone showed me that inside of it was a place for the employees 2 initial each time we walked up 2 a ride. We were able to walk right up 2 the exit area and get on the ride. There was one roller coaster that did take about 15 minutes but that was because it was an hour and a half weight. He did start stressing on this wait but I think was also the end of the day and hot! Then as far as the cave,we had decided to do it later in the day. Storms had started so they were not allowing anyone down into the cave. He started having a meltdown but they decided to give us another days past for the next day so we could be the first inline for the cave. And that we were!!! BTW, my son is a 13 year old W with aspergers and high anxiety

We went to Disney World in 2015. Just bring a doctors note from home and bring it straight to the guest relations. It was super easy. we even went the day before and got it so that we could walk right in the next day

How do you get a Guest Assistance Card at Disney?

We went to Six Flag last year and it was great! We checked in at guest services and received a special pass so we wouldn't have to wait in lines for the rides. Our whole family basically went up the exit ramp and were able to be next in line.
