Join me as I share my full, honest review of our Disney Fantasy cruise sailing out of Southampton - the good, the bad, the busy, and the truly magical moments. I’ll take you day by day through our family’s experience, from embarkation chaos to Remy brunch perfection, Pirate Night fireworks, and a few lessons learned along the way. I’m also comparing this UK sailing to our previous American cruises from Port Canaveral - what’s easier, what’s busier, and what’s worth knowing before you book. Whether you’re planning your first Disney Cruise or your fifth, you’ll find practical tips for travelling with children (including autism-friendly strategies), my must-know packing tricks, and behind-the-scenes details you won’t hear anywhere else.

Flying with children can feel stressful, and if your child has autism, I know the airport and the flight itself can feel like the biggest worry of all. In this video, I’m sharing what genuinely helps our neuro-sparkly family, from booking the right flights and seats, to sunflower lanyards and special assistance, to packing safe foods, sensory supports, and the little organisation tricks that make the whole journey calmer.

Cruising with children with autism can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be.

I’m a mum of four children with autism and Disney Cruise Line is one of the few holidays that truly works for our family when we plan intentionally. If you’re cruising with a neurodivergent family, this guide will help you feel prepared, confident, and supported.

Since the Merlin Ride Access Pass update was announced, I’ve been inundated with messages from parents who are worried their neurodiverse children are no longer eligible, unsure what’s changed, and overwhelmed by conflicting information online. In this live, I’m going through everything calmly, clearly, and in order, including: • The Merlin RAP announcement on 2nd February • Why so many families are concerned • The changes to Nimbus symbols and RAP eligibility • What Merlin have said directly in follow-up emails • Our real-life experience as a family with children with autism • Why some children now appear to be excluded • What families can do right now Let’s talk through what’s really happening, what we know so far, and what this could realistically mean for families visiting the parks.

Disney character meets can be one of the most magical parts of a trip – but if you’re visiting Disney with a child who has autism, they can also feel overwhelming, unpredictable, and full of pressure. In this livestream chat (and podcast episode), I’m sharing a parent’s guide to Disney character meets for children with autism, based on our real-life experiences as a family. We’ll talk about gentle preparation, managing expectations, advocating for your child’s needs, and ways to make character interactions feel supportive rather than stressful. I’m covering things like: • How watching vlogs in advance can help prepare children • Why bucket lists need flexibility • Why children never have to hug, talk, or pose • Appear-and-wave characters, parades, and character dining • What helps while waiting in queues • Talking to Cast Members and advocating calmly • Disability access support at Disneyland Paris, Walt Disney World, and Disney Cruise Line This isn’t about perfect photos or ticking boxes – it’s about helping your child feel safe, supported, and able to experience the magic in their own way.
