I wouldn't bring anything that you personally don't feel like having to carry around. And I would not want to be stuck carrying any large electronics. We usually have an ipod touch in our bag that DD can play with in line if she wants but that's only if we are stuck in a really long line. We usually go during slower times so we don't get stuck in too many long lines. Its nice to have with us when we have waits at restaurants and stuff too.
I am worried about our December trip and DS who will be 2 1/2 at the time. My mom and my niece went with us last October and we had extra people and hands to keep him busy and sometimes my mom would wait with him while we rode some rides that she didn't want to ride. He did okay but he's so much more active now and he just gets busier and busier every day it seems. I can't imagine trying to stand in even a 15 minute line with him right now. He would be trying to run off and/or climb and touch everything. He does not do well with staying in one place or being held. He wants to be down and getting into stuff all the time.
I think this is going to have to be a different kind of trip for us and I may end up sitting out a lot of stuff with him. Thankfully DD and just went in March and got to do all our favorites multiple times so it won't be too bad if I miss a few things.
We are also going in December with our DD who will be 2 1/2 at the time and she is busy busy busy as well. We plan on taking pencil and a small pad or maybe even a small coloring books and cars (or like small inexpensive toys) and snacks just in case but want to see how long she will make it first.
OP ~ I love the idea of the journals for in the line or even making up games to play in line. Our DNiece and my DSis went with us in September and that's what they did(made up games or 20 questions or the like) when they were with us tho my awesome niece would try to keep her cousin entertained for us.
