My kids have an allergic reaction to misquito bites. So we generally use Skin so Soft, or NatroPel(Babies R Us) but if we go in wooded areas or to the River, we use Deep Woods Off(now approved by the Peds Assoc) We have not had to use repellant at WDW so far.

Burts Bees. It is all natural. No deet or other chemicals. It works better than anything else we have ever tried. My ds is allergic to bug bites so we have tried a bunch of things and this works the best for us.

i second the burt's bees farmers friend bug repellent... works great... i used it in belize where the mosquitoes were the size of hummingbirds... i tried 100% deet first and got eaten alive... switched to burt's and didn't get bit for the rest of the trip... it's all natural, smells great and it's very moisturizing

We've used this as well--but it has to be reapplied (almost constantly). At least it did for us.

You might consider in addition to any bug protection--to getting a net for the stroller. That will help considerably.

Note also that bugs are usually only an issue at night (around frontier land especially) and in places like Fort wilderness. For general park attendance, it is typically a non-issue in the day time. (And I say this as a mom with DD who was allergic to mosquitos from early on).
