For the flight, do we just keep the infant on our lap or in a carseat?

Will taking formula with us be an issue?

Any advice on anything regarding flying with an infant?

For disney, how do we protect baby from the sun being she is too young for sunscreen? Do we just do a tank top onsie or should we fully cover her arms and legs with light clothing?

Also, what should we take along with us and what should we leave behind? Carseat? Stroller? Pack and play? We will be in a hotel, if that matters.

Should we take the necessary items with us or buy there? Such as diapers, wipes, cream, formula, etc. we will be there for a week.



And please, please, please, anymore suggestions or tips are welcomed!

Exciting! I recommend checking out Disboards for lots of tips. Will you all be staying on site in a Disney resort? If so, there are Facebook sites dedicate to passing items down via resorts. Strollers, ponchos, detergent, etc.. Lots of random items that are helpful. And it's usually free. I would recommend Garden Grocer if you are not renting a car for food items, diapers etc. you can always ship all that ahead of time so you don't have to pack it. Bring your own pack n play sheet if you can. The ones in the hotels are fine but I used to pack mine for no other reason that I new the detergent etc. that brings up another point. Bring a couple outfits a day for baby. Pack them in gallon zip lock bags for grab and goes at the parks. Also, helpful for adults too. .

I priced out renting a stroller vs buying one off of Craigslist and it was cheaper to buy off Craigslist. Good choice as I used the stroller to carry stuff at the airport. Extra set of arms. Never hurts.

I could go on and on. Enjoy your trip!

The centers are cool, with darkened rooms for nursing and have a dedicated changing area (complete with changing table liners). They also have formula and babyhood for sale. My older daughters enjoyed the tv viewing area and coloring sheets they had available while i nursed my son. Taking an infant to Disney World is doable with the proper planning.

+1. The baby centers are fantastic!! A great break from the park and a quiet place for baby to drink.

Why are you going? I was even flamed for taking a 15 mo but I would never take a 3 month old.

WARNING: It gets incredibly hot oustide. Even with your baby covered in a stroller it traps the heat and my daughter got so hot as did many other kids in strollers. If you decide to do this DO NOT spend a lot of time outside in the parks when its hot and humid at 90+ and buy a fan to attach to the stroller.

I have been with DDs at both ages and bar far 15 month old was more challenging than taking our 4 month old!

So assume you haven't planned a trip to Disney in the last um, at least 5 years? I say that for multiple reasons but usually you plan more than 6 months in advance. Crap, you can make dining reservations almost 6 months I'm advance!

Almost 6 months in advance. Typo.

No. Wait 4 years.
