Feeding tubes

[HuskerSarah]

My 6YO has a feeding tube that he uses overnight and part of the day. Does anyone have previous experience of feeding tube use at WDW? He has a backpack that carries his formula/pump for about 4 hrs in the daytime. Also, he gets tired somewhat easily and I am wondering if I could rent a stroller for him - would he even fit? I also have a 4 and 2 YO that will need it as well.

You may want to look into the stroller swap to see if it is available for your time. You could also get the GAC to use the stroller as a wheel chair. I am fairly new to the Disney stuff but I have read those things on here alot. The Disney Strollers are quite expensive and the ones we had in October were not all that comfortable for the kids but they did fit a 6 year old and 4 year old in one and at one point even my 10 year old was riding in the one my friend had as I won't let her ride in a stroller as she is too big IMO.

Orlando Strollers has had high recommendations and rents pushchairs for kids up to 100 pounds and may have bigger ones. Sharon owes me chocolates for all the times I mention her. Off site is cheaper than on site and even the scooters are better. I recently rented a DLR scooter and it had a metal bar in the front and looked armor plated, lol. Disney strollers are hard plastic which is fine for autistic kids who love the pressure, a sensory thing, but most kids would do better in conventional strollers and push chairs.

You would then get a GAC for his limitations if any and a "stroler as a wheelchair" GAC so that you could take the stroller in lines and anywhere a wheelchair is allowed even if the sign says "no strollers allowed".
