We will be celebrating one of our friend's son's birthday this year at WDW. I was just wondering if you might have any suggestions to make it extra special for him. I would especially love to hear gift ideas and restaurant selections for a birthday celebration.
Here is a little info on this child. He will be turning 9 years old this year. One of his favorite places to be is Disney. Almost 2 years ago, he was diagnosed with a rare, neuro-degenerative disease (Batten Disease) that has made him lose his vision and since there is no cure will eventually take his life by his late teens to early twenties. He has already been blessed with a Make a Wish Trip to Disneyland. His mom said they did try a device there that gave him full audio description while on the rides. She said he loved it. So we plan on utilizing this. I believe I also saw something about a Pal Mickey. Do they still have these? What exactly does it do?
Our family (my 2 boys) has been to WDW before with this family (back in 2007) when he still had his vision. We totally understand this trip will be different. I would love any tips, ideas, etc. for my family/children as well. We want him to have a good time, but we don't want to smother him either.
Thanks for your help.
