Autism at Galaxy's Edge (Star Wars Land) 

I hope you and the boys are having a great time in Star Wars Land. I know Connor will enjoy being there the most. Love the smile on Alister’s face while seeing baby Yoda in the bag of one of the characters, he was smiling. Your boys will have memories of this place, I know Connor will the most. I hope you get pictures with the Star Wars characters. I wish the 7 Ahead Family could have joined you there, and your family could have gone to Universal Studios with your friends and their children. All the boys like the Spaceship ride, I know Alister enjoyed it the most.😊😊😊

I’m so glad they had fun. I’m glad you all had fun. You deserve it.

You are doing such a great job with this channel. Your skill to explain things and tell stories is incredible. I wish you all just the best for the future. Greetings from Austria.

Love your channel, wonderful family. What a kind and generous Angel to give this gift of Disneyland to your family.💗

I'm autistic and I think I'll have to check out your channel more- I saw a lot of autism-based family channels use their kids autism as almost a prop, but it's nice and refreshing to see your boys entertainment and needs put first :) I was stimming my way through this

I went there when it first open, and let me tell you. My younger brother was SOLD that we were in space. It’s actually incredible because you don’t realize what’s going on behind the scenes, and all of the effort they put it.

Hi AF ur channel inspires me to be myself ty for being so inspiring

i remember as a Kid I got into Star Wars Since Kindergarten!

Staff area like fire extinguishers, exit signs and pipes. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Ok that's pretty funny. Probably your favorite part of your whole trip 😂.

It’s me again. I love your videos keep making them and helping loads of people out on autism and guess what I was right I have a very high chance of autism, and not just that but I have a high chance of ADHD and OCD. ❤ thanks again ❤

O my gosh, I love Star Wars, and I love this park so much. I see you had fun.

Wonderful! So glad you all had a great time! I too love Galaxy’s Edge and Rise of the Resistance! Big Star Wars fan for 40 plus years!

Thank you so so much for making this i really hope you have the BEST time ever your boys are so incredibly smart hope all goes well

😱🎉❤ I love this so much oh my goodness!!!!! I miss those sweet boys and it looks like they had a total blast. ❤️ Emers and I send lots of love. Also, cool merch!! But SUPER awesome video.

Owen Wilson really does the best "wow"

I'm so excited for your family 2 be able 2 take this trip together. If your anything like me then a vacation like this is a big deal. I hope yall have the best time ever, be safe & enjoy..

Looked fantastic I think you have sold me on this one .The force is strong in this one I think.👏🤗👍😀

It's a really amazing production. I'm glad you had fun.

Rise of the resistance is impressive. Been on it four times. Probably my favorite ride at Disneyland. Ian's favorite ride is probably radiator springs. I also like that one. Hope Alister is doing ok.

This is so awesome! So glad you guys are able to have such an awesome trip!

What a wonderful gift. You guys will never forget these amazing memories. I’d love to take my son on a big adventure somewhere but I worry about trying to get him onto a plane for the first time and don’t really know where I’d take him because he would hate everything about a theme park. Maybe we will try going to the beach or something some day. For now, we stick to camping and close to home.

It just shows how well done this ride (and whole land) were.

Welcome back Rob. Hope you are feeling better? Awesome video. Hope to one day go to Disneyland/Galaxy’s edge. 7:44 I see what you did there. Good one. “So they wouldn’t get to edgy.” ~Rob. Yet the fam are at Galaxy’s Edge.

I'm not a big star wars fun but would love to go for the experience and to marvel at the engineering involved!

Glad you had fun❤

Man I love star wars growing up. It must of been so cool down there. ❤

I went on a Star Wars ride once & I love it. Also nice video 👍🏼

Dang u got roasted lol. Glad u guys having fun!!

10:11 That reminds me of my first trip to Disney World when I was 5, we went on Soarin and I was so worried we were going so far away from the hotel🤣 Also, I really don't like those rides where you have to do stuff either, I wanna have fun not pay attention and work lol

The innocence of a child

Looks super fun would love to go there in the future

That is so awesome I’m glad you are having so much fun, and yes I agree he is cute passed out lol.

How did lan like the green milk 🥛

Nice too see you all love it. Sadly had to turn of the music was way to much for me. Hope you make a aftermath kinda vid on what the days after where. What things where diffrent or where measures you and you're kids had to take to recover (is that the word? sorry english is hard for me, hope you still understand what i'm trying to say)

I hope your family had a good time

There's also disability passes sounds like you got better though

It looks so fun(although I'm not a fan of Star Wars), glad that you guys had a very fun trip

The mandalorian is my current special interest- I want to visit galaxy’s edge so bad but I live in the uk 🇬🇧!! 😢

Ha that’s cool didn’t your just recently introduce your kids to Star Wars? I bet they’re having the time of their lives seeing it for the first time then going to see it.

I hope you’re all having an amazing day and a awesome Friday❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

It looks like you have had a good time

Grumpy Bear --->🌧️ 💙 🐻 💙 🌧️

Wow Connor looks so tall now!!

You have to appreciate Jar Jar Binks in a specific way or it just doesn't make sense. I know it's controversial but I love Jar Jar and you gotta check out the Jar Jar Sith conspiracy 😂

Good video

The best star wars character is jar jar binks

🤗❤️

Did you say that was your wife's mother with you as well??

First.

I will try to keep this as positive as possible. First, to get the most sensitive part out of the way, I totally detest how Woke and political Disney has become. I used to hold a Premium Pass membership for 22 years and go to Disneyland (I live in San Diego) at least 3-4 times a month. With their stepping into the political area and their constant sky rocketing prices, I may never set foot on a Disney property again. However, it would be very unfair and self-serving to not give a big nod to Disneyland in general and the Cast members specifically on how people with Special Needs are handled. I am an Autistic Adult with comorbid Sensory Processing Disorder. I am EXTREMELY sensitive to sound and do not like chaotic crowds or being touched. So, it would a fair question as to who or why such a person would frequent Disneyland? Yes, I do use the Disability Assistance Pass Program. I know Disneyland in extreme detail and know areas most do not know, where I can escape crowds and noise (usually). Although I am quite articulate, when I become highly elevated and close to meltdown, my ability to communicate quickly collapses. So much so, I carry a notepad at Disneyland that is programmed with several APPS that allow me to use it as an AAC device. I also know (and am still learning) ASL: "American Sign Language." In very noisy areas, I will use wither my notepad or whatever Sign Language I can muster. (I have degenerative hand issues that limit my ASL skills) My compliment to Disneyland/Cast Members is best told by one of the experiences I had more recently. I was with another person on this day. I generally have someone with me who knows my Autistic challenges and monitors me. On this day, Disneyland had its average large crowd. Most of the day went well and my escort pulled me aside several times to destress. I constantly wear sound canceling headphones at Disneyland and supplement them with earplugs when needed. My escort tried to give me buffer area away from people and I also had a tag on my backpack that said "AUTISTIC: PLEASE DO NOT STAND TOO CLOSE!" But Disneyland is Disneyland, and midafternoon I was becoming so sensory overloaded I was rapidly headed toward a meltdown. (YES, us Senior Autistic Adults can still have meltdowns!) Nothing my escort could do could reverse what was progressing rapidly. I fought my way to two Cast Members talking with people. I held up my notepad. Under one program, I have several preset texts I can call up quickly asking for help. This text said, "I am Autistic, I need immediate isolation to a quiet area to avoid meltdown!" Both Cast Members immediately excused themselves from the other conversation. Without question, we were very quickly escorted to a secluded quiet area. I was asked if I needed anything, do I need other assistance, and informed if I needed more, immediate flag a Cast Member. It took me around 2 hours to get to a level where I could leave the quiet area. I was very moved by the sensitive and rapid response of the Cast Members and their honest concern for my safety and comfort. Throughout the day, I let my escort do most of the talking but sometimes called up text on my Notepad/AAC. Every Cast Member was always very polite and patient. Seeing my challenges, they always let us know the most isolated areas to rest while awaiting our next ride. Whenever I went to Disneyland, I wore a shirt that identified my Autism (sometimes in a lighthearted way!) I wear a Medic-Alert bracelet that identifies my Autism challenges and contact information. On the back of the band are instructions how to help me if I am distressed. As mentioned, I am constantly wearing my sound canceling headphones. I found having a label on the back of my backpack, everyone gave me plenty of room and avoided touching me. I also had a small flashing red light on my backpack at night so my escort could easily follow me. To some, this may seem a bit over dramatic for a person that is a senior adult and generally on the "Aspergers" level of Autism. However, my sensitivity to sound and chaotic surroundings is so high, I am quickly elevated to being incapacitated. Any time I am at any other amusement park or vacation location, I cite Disney as the best example of supporting the Autistic Community. I have never seen another place match the level of training, care, and professionalism all the Disneyland Cast Members show to all persons with special needs or disabilities.

I'm already overstimulated just watching this video 🥲 (female, 27)
