He would love the music from all of the speakers at every park and he'd especially like the EPCOT fireworks/laser show with MUSIC. While he couldn't ride most of the rides, there is so much else that he would enjoy, and the service and accommodations you'd have just can't be matchedJanethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09187924454780490386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22370535.post-57575154857440942052009-06-14T14:51:07.962-05:002009-06-14T14:51:07.962-05:00MAW does so many Disney World trips that they do t...MAW does so many Disney World trips that they do them very, very well as opposed to getting them to do something that is brand new to them.

Kids on MAW trips get to go basckstage to meet Barney, and they truly make it memorable. You could request a hotel that is themed according to his likes, music or animals, etc. I know they would find a way to get him a massage, and they would likely put you up at Give Kids the World village,Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16087873326478010732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22370535.post-16549182494654495842009-06-13T14:22:06.047-05:002009-06-13T14:22:06.047-05:00Nashville is a lovely city.
