Hi Alisha. As a frequent Walt Disney World vacationer, I can tell you that insects are truly a rare sighting. It makes me wonder if pixie-dust is, in fact, an insect repellent. Obviously, being Florida, there are going to be bugs, especially during certain seasons of the year. However, all of the information I located on this topic speaks to the fact that it really is
tough to be a bug around Mickey's Kingdom.
Always carrying whatever items your son needs to treat his allergy and knowing where to seek assistance if he does have an encounter is just smart planning. You can find detailed information on First Aid locations at this link to the
Walt Disney World website.
If you are staying on-site at a Disney Resort and need to seek medical assistance for your son, touch 'Front Desk' on your resort room phone. While on a past Disney vacation, my family and I utilized a local urgent care and the concierge at our resort was able to arrange for free door-to-door round-trip transportation. In-room medical care services
are also available for non-emergencies.
Lastly, a listing of some of the local hospitals near Walt Disney World can be found at the website www.diz-abled.com and then, search Disney-Resources/Disney-Area-Hospitals.
Thanks
