Ep. 543 - Twice Exceptional, One Magical Cruise: Sailing with 2E Kiddos on Disney Cruise Line

 “What It’s Like to Cruise Disney with a Twice-Exceptional Child”

 This week we’re joined by our friend Lindsey, who shares her powerful story of cruising Disney Cruise Line with her twice-exceptional (2e) child—a kiddo who is both gifted and not neurotypical.

We’re talking about:

• What it means to be “2e”

• Tips for preparing your child—and yourself—for cruise travel

• ‍♀️ Managing sensory needs, meltdowns, and transitions onboard

• ️ How Disney Cruise Line helped (and sometimes didn’t)

• What resources and strategies worked for Lindsey’s family

• ❤️ Why she still recommends DCL for families like hers

This is a raw, honest, and hopeful conversation for any parent navigating the joys and challenges of traveling with a neurodiverse child. Whether your kiddo is 2e or just needs extra support on vacation, Lindsey’s insights will help you sail smoother.
