Mindful Mouseketeers:
A Therapist's Guide to Managing Children's Anxiety at Disney World
Disney World is supposed to be the happiest place on earth, but if you have a kid who struggles with anxiety, you know it’s not always that simple. Mindful Mouseketeers was written by a children's therapist (and fellow parent) to help you plan a trip that feels a lot less stressful and a lot more magical.
Inside, you’ll find easy-to-follow tips for prepping your child before the trip, picking hotels and travel options that actually make things easier, making the most of Disney’s helpful services, and choosing rides and restaurants that won’t overwhelm your kid. Plus, you’ll get simple coping tools you can practice together, behavior strategies that actually work, safety tips, and a bunch more real-life advice you can actually use.
This guide is here to help you feel ready, your kid feel confident, and your whole family enjoy every little bit of the magic — without the meltdowns.
