I would really appreciate any tips that allowed families of children w/ ADHD to enjoy their trip better.
My DH has it too, so my DSs' ( 5 & 8) behavior would set the DH off. There were parts of this last trip I'd rather not repeat. It was too stressful. Severe stressors seemed to be:
- not being able to go on a ride when they wanted b/c of too long a line
- staying w/ the family (safe & sound) not wandering offf or walking 10 feet ahed of us
- being funneled into a gift shop after a ride &b not be allowed to buy somehint everywhere (they had money to spend & depleted those funds by day3 of a 12 day trip).
- figthing with each other in line ( refused to play little inexpensived electronic games & of small puzzle books, etc. )
Any suggestions? Help would be appreciated. My DH said that he'd only do one more trip & then wants to consider selling our dvc points. This had the kids & I crying while we waited for Fantasmic to start.
I love Disney & I don't won't to lose the magic I enjoy there and that my family enjoys most of the time.
Please help!
Things we tried:
We did do naps most day, although DS 8 would just lay there & not nap, but would be tired & cranky in the evening.
early & late hours + fast pass
a/c sit down meal once a day to break from the sun & heat
