Snow White comforts boy with autism at Disney World

When it was their turn to meet Snow White, "My son was having a autism meltdown. He was crying and was overwhelmed and just having a hard time." LINK
This is why Tag Team is essential and not only will we continue to use it during our trips but I will continue to recommend it to others. No child, teen or adult should ever have to endure an emotional stressful roller coaster while waiting especially 2+ hrs. to see Jack & Sally or the Seven Dwarfs during MNSSHP. It's unconscionable for anyone to assume everyone is capable.
Really touched by this! Disney World is a completely different level of magic!
We will be there the same night! It is our first full day and we are hoping for a smaller crowd at the party.I can't wait - we just bought tickets for Sept. 22! We just got back from a longer trip on 8/12 but had the itch to see SWGE and also this and found that the weekend our kids have a Monday off is the same weekend DD doesn't have any dance practices scheduled and DS doesn't have a football game that Sunday - we were so excited that we booked a weekend trip. Can't wait to tell the kids!!
Storybook TreatsDoes anyone know when the snake eyes treat is set to debut?
Loved your pics and comments from the party. Thank you for all that you do! I’m hoping to bring home the souvenir dice to my Nightmare Before Christmas loving six year old. If it’s available on 9/17! Least I can do for going without him. ShhhhhStorybook Treats
Fantasyland’s Storybook Treats will begin offering a Party-exclusive treat in September. It’s called Snake Eyes, and it looks funky! This bright-green concoction is a mix of Sprite, lime soft serve, and green apple flavoring. It’s garnished with gummy worms and light-up dice (hello, souvenir!).

First time MNSSHP group here... question about the Gravediggers:
Do the GraveDiggers preform anywhere outside of the parade, and if so where/when can you see them?
Thanks!
also interested in veteran opinions here- also very interested in the bucket but our party is also late Oct:

Sorry to all who’s parties are being affected by the storm. I know it’s silly in the grand scheme of things, but I also know how excited people are for their trips and parties .
I popped in to ask a quick question. My son saw a picture of the Oogie Boogie popcorn bucket and decided he really wants one, Our party is October 29th. Is there any chance at all there will be any left by then ? Or are the popcorn buckets gone early in the season ?
Any Dessert Party reviews?
They don't perform but they do a meet and greet in the gazebo in Liberty Square
We did the Plaza Garden dessert party on 8/23.
Here are a couple of my posts from the time:

Happy to answer any questions!

Plaza Garden Viewing dessert party delivered the great view as always, but in some ways I’m not so sure I really needed it. The Hub was crowded, but it wasn’t crazy crowded. Seemed like prior MNSSHPs to me just from the looks of things, although hard to really tell when in the garden since you can’t see everything.

Only real complaint of the night was the Plaza Garden desserts! I do those things more for the viewing than the food anyway, but they just all seemed blah and uninspired to me. Total sugar bombs.

Great reviews / info... thanks GADisneyDad14!
Unfortunately, based on this information, I'm debating cancelling our upcoming party reservation for the 9/27 party (bold emphasis mine):
I also recall seeing a couple other posts in this thread on being disappointed with the dessert/food/drink offerings at this fireworks party.
For the price, I'm expecting the desert/snacks/drinks to be enjoyable/desirable... if not, and if we can find a better viewing spot with less obstructed views with not too much effort (say 30 minutes prior to the fireworks), then I'm leaning towards cancelling the reservation.
I hoping they make some improvements on the dessert offerings (wishful thinking?) - and I'm keeping an eye out for some more plaza party reviews.
This is disappointing. Seems like they could find a way to ensure there is some special merch available at every party. I know they don't want to get stuck with leftover stock, but they could save a small amount for the last parties at least.Do not count on it being available in late October. We go 10/24 and have gone this week the last few years and the most popular merch is always sold out by then.
We originally had the dessert party reserved for Labor Day but cancelled due to Dorian and moved our MNSSHP to last Friday 8/30. I wrote that my original plan was to watch the second parade, but we changed it to the first parade and watched near CBJ and as soon as the last float passed, we cut through the path to Adventureland, quick bathroom break and got to the HUB by the time the Incredibles floats were near the castle. That said.... I would almost think that if you got a spot in the HUB for the first parade, even if it wasn't front row, you would be in a much better position for the fireworks. As soon as the parade rounded near the castle people did flood the area, from both behind the parade (which I why I DONT recommend following the parade along the route, unless you were close to the last float) and from Adventureland. And my party wasn't super crowded because of Dorian.if not, and if we can find a better viewing spot with less obstructed views with not too much effort (say 30 minutes prior to the fireworks), then I'm leaning towards cancelling the reservation.
I'm also wondering if the logistics of the new show are going to make it more crowded. When HEA debuted we were there and not everyone knew what to expect so the area in front of the castle wasn't as crowded. As word got out that you need to be front and center, it got to what it is today. I'm wondering if more word going out is also going to contribute to the HUB being super crowded. For example, we have family going down in October and one of the family members was asking about our experience with the party and she had no idea what the new show was like. She doesn't go on Disney message boards and only knew there was a new show, but not that you actually have to prepare somewhat to find a good place to view it.These early party crowds have been really wobbly, it'll be interesting to see reports on Hub conditions as we get into the thick of party season and more popular (and non Hurricane-influenced) crowd times.
