Packing list - WDW

As promised, here is my comprehensive list of things to pack for an 8 month old baby for a 7 day trip to Walt Disney World. Jake made the executive decision to rent a car so that we could run to the grocery store (or Target), give tired mommas and babies a ride back to the hotel if needed and the top reason probably being so the men (poor David and Jake) could escape the madness in a moments notice! Since I am totally weird about hotel carpet, we plan on buying a cheap walker/exersaucer when we get to FL and then donating it to the hotel when we leave. The nice thing about this list is that I can always run to the store if I forgot to pack something. I am probably overdoing it, but I am kind of a hoarder-packer.

If we did not have the car I would order from Diapers.com and deliver to the hotel. The two-day shipping is awesome and that would have been a great alternative.

I had to buy a suitcase (HUGE) from TJMaxx last night just for Ollie. I figure it will be worth the investment as we start to travel more as a family with kids. I think we can get by with two checked bags, one carry on diaper bag and Jake's carry on (laptop, camera, etc). Please excuse the excessive linking in this post. I like to know about stuff... so thought some people may be interested.
