Subject: Potty training traumatized 3.5 year old - need help?

OK, so I have a 3.5 year old who was potty training well, making progress while in preschool, something happened. I dont know exactly what, but it became so traumatic for him to go to school, after his loving it for weeks, but he had a room change and teacher change, that I finally ended up pulling him from the school. Now he refuses potty training, and I made the mistake of telling him that when he is completely potty trained we can get him in a different, better play school. He doesn't want to go back to school, wants to do school only at home with mommy and wont use the potty without major scenes. He is in size 6 diapers, (47 pounds) and I am not sure where to go from here. We have tried bribing him with a trip to disneyworld when he is potty trained, with his Nana visiting, big boy underwear, nothing seems to work. He has been home for almost 5 months now, and is intelligent, we are "doing school" together and he is already reading 3-4 letter words and doing addition learning beading and cutting and self help skills, but the potty thing is at a complete and total stand still. Need help.
