How to take a child with special needs to an Amusement Park (and survive)

First make sure you see their favorite characters

Second don't force a picture with a smile, it might not happen.

Third Make sure you have something for them to rest in while you continue to walk. Even if they are 9. 

Forth make sure to take them on the one ride they want to ride the most.

Fifth do your Homework ahead of time, and don't listen to your hubby when he says "he'll be fine it's just 1 drop"
It had 2 drops, and after the First one Daniel was yelling "stop the ride, I want off" and the 2nd drop was bigger!

Sixth No matter how much they beg don't let them on a ride you know they will hate. Hence there are only 2 kids in the tea cup.  Daniel hates spinning!

And last It's ok to sit and relax in the air conditioned Pizza Place with out ordering a pizza.

We were watching the show and the kids were able to dance along.

All in All it was a fun day with an occasional melt down.
