Hi all, I originally posted something like this on the "Resorts" board but I would love to get input from other families with children with special needs.
We booked at the AoA because my older son is a huge Cars fan. However, he saw a photo of the "Computer Pool" at Pop Century and is now obsessed with the idea of going there, even though he and his younger sibling and are also well aware of the pools at AoA.
He knows that we can walk back and forth between the two resorts, but that we cannot "pool hop."
He has special needs (some of which include overlaps with ASD) and I wonder if he's fixating on this...I don't want it to be an issue one way or the other. I mean, I think most people would want to use the pools at AoA, but if the Computer Pool is "the pool" for him and we can still see all of the characters out front and take pictures and such, maybe AoA isn't the way to go.
Should we switch to Pop Century instead? We would definitely save money, and, honestly, I don't even know how much time we spend in the pools (we're going in the winter, kids aren't really strong swimmers, and we plan to spend most of our time in the parks).
(I guess I was just totally caught off guard that any kid, even mine , would choose PC over AoA).
