Quiet / sensory spots3
Planet Snoopy in the morning — Shaded benches and a gentle atmosphere before crowds build — one of the more manageable areas for sensory-sensitive guests.
International Street plaza in the first hour — The fountain plaza is calm early on with benches and shade from the buildings.
Action Zone greenspace — Quieter edges near Beast and Banshee viewing areas with less foot traffic.
Only spaces with an explicit sensory/quiet tag are shown — we don’t guess locations.
