And don't say the entire park LOL. I was wondering if any of you know some really quiet spots in DCA for People With Sensory problems to calm down. I know all the places in Disneyland but I am not as frequent of a visitor to DCA and don't know all the hidden areas. I really appreciate your help;)

The back path of GRR is great, you can find some shade, and very few people going by, though you might have some ambient noise from the ride.

The Golden State Amphitheater is usually empty.

The seating for the old Lucky Fortune Cookery, especially by the Paradise "Pier"

Seating near the Farmers Market near First Aid

The west end of the Golden Vine Winery area is usually empty.

And I presume if you ask a Cast Member, they would allow you to sit on the tables behind the newly placed wall in front of Hollywood and Dine (unless there is a special event).

Hope this helps. :)

Thanks Darkbeer that really helps. We are on our way right now and I know it will be pretty busy today.
Thanks a bunch!

When the Redwood Creek Challenge Trail reopens, just immediately after you enter, make a left and follow that path. There's a small sitting area there that's pretty quiet. Heck, most anywhere in that area is pretty quiet... with the exception of any area above ground. The area in front of the bear cave in the very back and to the left (it's near the Traverse Wall) is really great on slow days.

Double agreement with Darkbeer about the backside of the Grizzly River Run area, basically if you are facing Grizzly look to your left, follow the small path past Frog Jump Falls and then that stretch of walkway (the GRR loading area will be on your right) up until you go under the lift hill. Past that is the smoking area, FYI.

I would have said the area in front of the old Millionaire and Superstar Limo buildings, but with Monsters Inc. there now, that's a goner. To the right of Monsters though is a small set that looks like one of those 50's carhop diners... there's plenty of chairs and tables there and should be still pretty quiet. The closer you sit to the Hollywood and Dine building the quieter it'll be. I believe there's also chairs and tables behind the diner set as well that hardly anyone goes to.

The farm is also pretty quiet... not Bug's Land but the area before that where they have all the crops growing.

Near the First Aid station on the other side of the walkway (near the Cast Member backstage entrance) there are a few benches that's pretty quiet there as well. Not to mention it's close to Mission and Boudin so you can grab a little snack as well... or some ice cream products if San Andrea's is open.

The Golden State Amp. is also a good place, it faces the bay with a great view, and hardly anyone goes there. I usually buy lunch to go and sit there to eat it.

Thanks Burnt Toast and Darkbeer. We were there for about 1 hour and realized that he could not handle the crowds so we are going back on Weds. It was extremely busy and he just could not handle it. We get a GAC but it really does not matter if it is too busy.
Driving all the way from Dana Point and having to leave after 1 hour was kind of a drag but you have to do what you have to do. Thanks for all the advise.
