When my DGD was that age she had specific reactions to her environment, but they made no sense to anyone but her. For instance, he could not stand noise, the vacuum or leaf blowers scared the sock s off of her, yet fireworks were fine. Anyway, DD would rent one of the large Disney strollers for her, bring her a light blanket, and somethings for her to do when she got overwhelmed or overstimulated. She would simply go to the stroller and lean back and use the ipod or whatever it was that my DD had to occupy her, and that would tune out the confusion around her. She did this until she was around 6. I think even at 8 when we went and the crowds got crazy one day, DD rented her a stroller so she could escape if need be. She was not ready to leave the parks but she did need a "quiet" spot for a little while.
I would plan ahead to be sure your child has a "safety zone" if he gets overwhelmed by the constant "clutter" that WDW can be.
