I'm very glad to see so many positive comments about nursing in WDW and public places in general. My slant on it has always been that boobs are there for our babys to be nourished by and people who see that as "dirty" and something to be ashamed of & only done in hidden places, and then turn around an oogle a racey billboard or buy a playboy magazine are just warped! But I do try to always be discreet. I liken it to this: if I had a friend who was a recovering alcoholic, I wouldn't guzzle a beer in front of him out of consideration for him. That's not to say that drinking beer is wrong, just that it's nice to be thoughtfull of others and unfortuanately, some people are still emabarrased at the sight of a mother nursing her baby. That said, I nursed my first 2 boys (age 6mo on one trip and the other age 12 mo on another) all over WDW. Like others have said, the dark rides are the best. Often I had strangers sitting right beside me and they never knew! The moving rides, like Spaceship Earth are the best, bc. the motion and nursing combined puts the baby to sleep. Outside of the rides I'd nurse in restaurants (the only FREE meal in WDW!! LOL) and on benches...just about everywhere. I would try to turn my back to the crowd if possible. I could even nurse walking around when the babies were tiny. You see, I had this big, sturdy bellypack that was always full. It was a great support for the baby's weight!
I know that at certain ages the babies don't like to be covered w/ a blanket and agree that this draws more than usual attention from passersby. I found that a not-so-tight shirt works great. I'd just lift it and withmy free hand hold it so that the material was touching the baby's cheek. Usually the baby then would hold onto my hand and I would stroke his cheek with my pinkie. Most people just thought the baby just had his face up to my clothed chest. In fact I had people come up to me, not knowing that I was nursing, and ask to see the baby. I had to TELL them what I was doing!
Best wishes to all nursing moms out there. To new moms: Stick with it! You will be amazed at how good you get at it after a few months.
But your baby still needs to eat.
So that guy would have a cow now if he saw us. 
) was that people have far better things to do at WDW than watch a nursing mom and her baby. I nursed on shady benches, rides, hotel lobbies, etc. The only time I went to the baby center was to get out of the rain...and yes it was very nice. I actually wore my maternity T-shirts while I was nursing because they had enough fabric to drape around me and the baby. The only person who seemed at all freaked by the thought of me nursing in public was DH!! He was worried about what other people would think....he got over it after the first day. Practicing at home in front of a mirror is good advice, too, but really, once you and the baby relax and get used to it, than it seems like second nature. Good Luck!
ooooh I just read this! How dare he! I would have been spitting mad! I would have asked him if what he was saying was Park Rules (I'm sure NOT) or his own personal hang-up (most likely). And then I'd have had him accompany me to Guest Relations where I would have demanded an apology on the spot! Of course as I picture this scenario, I can see my husband in it, rolling his eyes and saying, "Let it go, hun."
One self weaned at 3 1/2, the other would still be nursing at 6 had I not given her the boot, ha ha! They are both happy and healthy, and now people stare at them for other reasons than nursing as big kids, LOL!
