The Difference Professional Expertise Makes
Most Disney planning resources focus on logistics—park hours, FastPass strategies, dining reservations. This course addresses what they miss: the psychological and behavioral factors that determine whether your family has a magical experience or a stressful one.
With a clinical background in child psychology and years of observing families at Disney parks, Dr. Ely teaches you proactive, science-based strategies to prevent meltdowns, manage sensory overload, and maintain family harmony—even in the most overwhelming theme park environments.

The inspiration for this course came from visiting Disney and witnessing countless families struggling with challenging behaviors—tantrums, parents losing their temper, children in tears. This isn't what families hope for their vacation, nor the experience we want to give our children. I thought to myself: we have evidence-based strategies rooted in science that families can use! We just need to get these tools into their hands.
