       Disney has been notoriously horrible about supporting breastfeeding,
whether we are dealing with employees or patrons at the park.  At one point,
there was a rule, that breastfeeding mothers could only nurse at the baby
stations.  In fact, I am not sure if they changed that rule.  The Baby
Station is usually only one location in a very large park, and whenever the
baby needs to nurse, it is never convenient to get there.    Either way I
broke the rule many, many times, including a sling quickie on Cinderella's
carousel!   I gather that discreet moms don't have much trouble, but those
who are less than discreet could easily be told to go to the Baby Station,
which by the way, is sponsored by C----------n, and charges 3 to 4 times as
much for any baby item someone needs to buy in the park.

       In the past, I have had two mothers report difficulties in Disney
Stores, although I might add that one of them decided to sit right in front
of a cashier's desk (I usually say that discretion is an issue).  Anyhow, I
am not sure if Disneyland is any better, but Disney WORLD and from what I can
tell, the Disney Store, is not.
