We have a blind child too. Our younger son just turned 3 on the 6th of September and we are going for his third trip to WDW the first week in November. We have found all the characters to be very accomodating with him once we tell them that he is blind. I think the characters must get guidance/training on how to interact with different types of personalities, abilities and so on because we noticed that, at least on previous trips, the characters would motion to us to take our son's hands so he could feel their face and head. We liked that he could experience them like his big brother only in a little different way, like he does most everything else. However, on this up-coming trip it may be kind of hard to explain to him why the characters don't talk like they do on Mickey Mouse Playhouse and the various cartoons because he now associates a voice for each one. If anyone has any suggestions on that part, I'd love to hear them!
