For those of us who have sensory processing issues, navigating the overwhelming stimuli of a popular destination like Disney World can be challenging. I’m a certified special education teacher with sensory processing disorder (as well as ADHD), so finding quiet places at Disney World was on the top of my priority list.
My BEST tip for people looking for quiet places at Disney World is to visit during the off season. Avoiding crowds goes hand in hand in helping reduce noise levels. Then, use the first aid stations in each park for auditory respite as they are all quiet havens. Disney staff are ..read more

Specifically, there were plenty of rumors about one being built IN my hometown of Van Alstyne, TX (about 1.5 hours north of Dallas).
There are NO current plans to build a Disney themed park anywhere in Texas. If you’ve heard rumors about new theme parks coming to North Texas, it’s probably referring to the new Universal Studios that’s being built in Frisco or the Peppa Pig themed park that’s coming to North Richland Hills.
No Evidence for Disney in Texas Anytime Soon ..read more

Blizzard Beach does not close down for rain. If thunderstorms become severe, guests will be told to exit the water (but not the park) until the storm passes. “Rain checks” are rarely offered in the event of park closure. Blizzard Beach will also close during parts of the year when the temperature is unseasonably cold.
Back in January 2023, my family and I were eagerly looking forward to making a splash at Blizzard Beach during our Disney World trip. But, Mother Nature had other p ..read more
