We have been to WDW every year for the past six years but have always driven. This year we decided to give flying a try so I need to know any helpful hints for packing, etc. There are three of us flying Southwest so we could technically bring six bags if need be. That is a lot as we will only be using ME for our arrival. Our daughter will be taking us to the airport for our flight home. My husband says I usually take the whole house with us (I do not ). So I thought I'd put the question out there to the experienced. Our DS16 has autism and this will be his first flight ever. I will def have to bring his ipad/DS on the plane with us. Not sure how to handle the possible ear problems as he wont keep a stick of gum in his mouth for more that a minute or so.

TIA!
