Downtown Disneyยฎ AMCยฎ Theatres Offer ‘Sensory Friendly’ Shows

Theย AMCยฎ Downtown Disney 24 at theย Walt Disney Worldยฎย Resort and theย AMCยฎ 12 Theatres at theย Disneylandยฎย Resort have begun offering Sensory Friendly Films to guests once per month. These special showings provide families affected by autism an opportunity to enjoy a movie in a safe and accepting environment. Theatres during these special showings will keep the lights up and will turn down the sound. Parents are encouraged to allow their child to get up and dance, walk, shout or sing during the film.

AMCยฎย has proudly partnered with the Autism Society to bring these special matinees to many of their theatres across the country for the families of the estimated 1.5 million Americans living with an autism spectrum disorder to enjoy. Upcoming Sensory Friendly Screenings include Disney’s Wreck-It Ralph on Nov. 10 and Rise of the Guardians on Dec. 8. All shows begin at 10am local time. Dates and films are subject to change.
