disney with 6 month old

Hello,

A couple of new questions for everybody to help, all of your advise has helped immensely. Car seats-if we keep the baby with us on the plane we wont need a car seat. When we land will we need one for the Disney bus that will take us to our hotel. Also if we use a Taxi to go off property, will the taxi let us use one in the cab, or can you order a taxi that supplies one? Just wanted to see what everyone did when they were down there on vacation. We aren't sure of the laws or policies in Florida / Disney.

Also, someone mentioned refrigerators in the baby changing rooms at the parks. Can you leave the babies formula in a refrigerator at the beginning of the day? any help is appreciated and thanks again.

My suggestion is to get your baby a seat. Many airlines offer them at a very reduced rate. If there is a problem on your plane, without a seat, your baby will need to be place on the floor between your legs (not to mention loss of cabin pressure and bad turbulance (sp). In Oct. we will be brigning our baby for the 1st time, I was not going to get her a seat, however after some research with the airline and information here, I was quick to change my mind (unfortuneatly when I called back to book one for her, the price increased...but that is okay!).

You will not need or can have a car seat on the ME buses (they will store with strollers-under bus), but you would want one if traveling via taxi. In the past we have used a Town Car service and they will provide one, should you have a child who needs one.

As for formula, I personally plan on taking a soft sided cooler and freezer pack with us into the parks. Our hotel has fridges in the rooms, so I can refreeze my freezer pack every day. In addition I will bring bottled water and powder.
