Advice for going to Disney World/Orlando

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone! My family is venturing to Orlando this May and I know there are

people on the list who have gone to Disney with their kid so I was hoping

for some tips before we go. Also, if anyone has any suggestions for other

attractions in Orlando that would be suitable for a five year-old (probably

operating mentally at about 3 years of age) that would be great. And are there

grocery stores with -friendly foods/organic foods and meats? We are from

Canada, so are not familiar with the different chains.

Here are our concerns to date re: Disney:

1) One of our son's therapists just got back from Disney and she said you can't

take any food or drink into Disney World. We had been planning to bring food and

watered down juice for our son because he is so picky and because of the

diet. Is there any way to get around their strict " no food, no drink " rule? Can

you bring a doctor's certificate stating that this is due to a medical issue?

2) In Canada, we took our son to an amusement park and they had a Disability

Pass that allowed us to circumvent the one to two hour lineups for the

attractions. Do they have anything like this at Disney?

Any help with all of this would be much appreciated. You can never be too

prepared!!!

Thanks,

Rhoda
