That was good of you to post that. I figured there was something special about the trip to Disney, then I read "2,000th ride" and thought well that's something. And THEN I read the "autistic" part. I hope this story made the newspapers somewhere, because what a wonderful story of people going out of their way to make an occasion truly special for someone else. Way to go, Team Disney.
It was an amazing day. We are incredibly touched and indebted to the fantastic cast members who were involved. Ben was having the time of his life.
Thank you so much for spreading the word, B. Even though I was there, it still gets to me to read about it.
