When my youngest was 2.5, he barely ate solids due to sensory issues so he nursed frequently all over Disney and Universal with no issues. The last time I nursed him in public he was 4.5 years old - and that was at Disney. It was a few times that week. That's the only time I noticed people walking by me a bit faster than the norm. It probably doesn't help that I'm petite and his head is enormous so he probably looks a lot older than that in my lap.
When my oldest went at 2 1/2 years old he was also still mostly breastfed because of a combination of food allergies and sensory issues. I didn't have any issues nursing him around Disney.
My twins are 4 1/2 now but I haven't nursed them in public for a long while. I could only imagine the looks I would get if I did. But it hasn't been necessary as they only nurse once or twice a day anymore.
I think it was helpful that my boys were quite small for their age as toddlers. People likely didn't even realize I was nursing a 2 or 3 year old at the time.
