How Awesome is that?!?!

So, tomorrow the baby of our family (my 18 year old cousin ) graduates from high school. We are so so so proud of him! He has had a some what hard life, he has Autism which caused many issues for him, as well as an over protective mom who never let him do anything on his own. He was never allowed to celebrate Halloween, have action figure toys, watch any kind of superhero shows... kinda weird right?
Anyway, just as his last official day at school was ending, the school faculty got together and awarded him a trip to Disney World! How cool is that?
Naturally I was asked to help plan the trip for him and his older brother (32 years old and just as excited to go for his first time!) But there are so many things I think he should see and do! Places to eat and drink! If you were planning a trip for two first timers, what are some must do things and places to eat at Disney?

My son is 17 and autistic. We just got back from Disney World three weeks ago, although this was not his first trip. His dad drives us, a family of five, 13 and a half hours. My son thoroughly enjoys Dumbo and Pirates of the Carribean, the musical Festival of the Lion King. His dad rode with him on the Speedway in Tomorrowland and he loves it because daddy lets him drive by himself. I can attest to the fact that these rides are "therapy" to him. The rougher rides he absolutely loves: Test Track, Splash Mountain, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, Dinosaur. It is the physical movements that help him make progress in his speech and social delays. My son (along with myself I admit) have come to love Disney World. But I also thank Disney World for giving my son his dream every year. For him, each and every year we go is his first year; a whole new trip with all new memories. We even let him film the parades on my FLIP camera and then he downloads it on our laptop and watches the videos all year long until we leave again to make more memories. Hope everyone enjoys this trip.
