You would be surprised what they will tolerate....My daughter has PDD NOS and typically would NEVER let people touch her face, but somehow the face painting experience does not bother her at all, maybe it is the motivation that she wants it soooo badly I don't know.
You can try it if your dd wants to, the first time my dd was 3 (she is 6 now) and I explained to the face painter that she has PDD and sensory issues and may freak out. They went slowly & when she freaked out the first time they gave her some wipes to wipe it all off & refunded my $$ no questions asked. The next day my daughter wanted to try again, so we let her & this time she was fine. I say leave it up to your child to decide if they want to try it and see what happens. Disney is very used to dealing with special needs kids and they handle it very very well.
