I didn't fly until 10 months post-concussion. I did okay (mild headache on descent and was tired for a couple days after).
I think I would have been seriously overwhelmed early on in my recovery. I don't think I could have tolerated the airport or the flight. And NO WAY could I have handled Disneyland. I am a year post-concussion, and I still would have trouble with it just due to the crowds. Never mind any rides -- I don't think I will ever ride amusement park rides again.
I would be REALLY, REALLY hesitant to do the trip. You might be able to tolerate short periods there, but I think in the best case scenario you will need a LOT of downtime.
