    Ben's Final Ride on Snow White's Scary Adventures

    Not sure if this has been posted elsewhere, but thought I'd share. This story is long, but amazing -- six-part blog entry story about an autistic boy whose favorite ride was Snow Whites Scary Adventures at WDW, and its about their last night there. AMAZING.

    This post would be more appropriately titled "How to Make a Grown Man Tear Up at Work".

    Thank you for sharing this link! On his website he has links to other articles which really capture what the ride meant to that family.

    I'm so glad that they were able to make this happen for Benjamin. He was my first thought when they said that the attraction was going to close down.

    I cried reading the blog. This is one of the ways Disney is wonderful and magical. But also how Ben's family learned from the experience is amazing.

    15 minutes from Disneyland!

    I can't wait to read this (but should since I'm at work). I read Ben's story a while back and would like to see how it ends. But I will do so when I can devote my full attention to it (and not dissolve into tears in the office).

    If I go down, I'm going down fat and full.

    Ben's Final Ride on Snow White's Scary Adventures

    This is amazing to see that Disney gave such a wonderful farewell to the ride by doing this. It's beautiful to see how people aren't truly bad these days. When I began reading I expected to read that some mother threw a fit because Snow White wasn't there for her children. But this story was just amazing.

    Wow. That is such a wonderful story. And that is why Disney is Disney. I sure hope that Ben can and will ride the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train roller coaster when it opens in a couple of years. He should be on the first train.
