[quote=Anonymous][quote]For the flight, do we just keep the infant on our lap or in a carseat? [/quote]

If you're planning to take a carseat, you can buy a ticket for the baby and use the carseat in her seat (it will have to be window for safety reasons) or you can gate check the car seat and just hold her in your lap.  When I flew with my children at that age I just held them in my lap and didn't buy the extra seat.

Will taking formula with us be an issue? [/quote]

Formula will not be an issue.  You are allowed to take whatever you need to feed the baby on the plane.

[quote]Any advice on anything regarding flying with an infant? [/quote]
It's easiest to soothe them on the altitude changes with a bottle since it helps clear their ears so I usually held off feeding until just as we were taking off and tried to make sure that the baby would still be hungry as we start to descend for landing.

[quote]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?[/quote]
We live in FL and have gone to Disney a lot with infants.  I usually had the baby in something very light and used a light blanket to cover arms and legs if I had the baby in a carrier or to shade the stroller if she was in it.  A sun hat that can be wet down to help cool off the baby can also help.  Each of the 4 main parks has a Baby Care center with changing tables, nursing rooms, and a place to just sit in the AC and cool off.  These can be a life saver if it's hot and crowded and you just need a moment of peace to sit and relax, though I also spent a lot of time sitting inside some of the restaurants with the baby while the rest of my family was off riding rides.  They do sell essentials like formula and diapers in the Baby Care center, but it's expensive and more of an emergency supply.

[quote]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. [/quote] 
 If you're renting a car you'll need a carseat, but if you're just using Disney transportation too and from the airport you would be fine without it.  A stroller is a must, but if you don't want to travel with yours there are a lot of companies that rent them for Disney and will deliver it to your hotel prior to your arrival.  Hotels often have pack and plays, so you could check on that if you didn't want to bring your own (or even rent that as well from some of the same companies that do stroller rentals).

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. [/quote]
It depends on your luggage situation.  If you'd rather not take everything with you, and you have access to a car it's not too difficult to get to a Target or Publix grocery store to buy supplies.  If on the other hand you would be buying things at the hotel, it will probably be fairly expensive so you may want to just bring what you need with you.

And please, please, please, anymore suggestions or tips are welcomed![/quote][/quote]
