Whew! We are home from our amaz­ing trip to Dis­ney World for the Dis­ney Social Media Moms Con­fer­ence! As I had men­tioned before, it was our first time to any of the Dis­ney Parks with a baby and our first cross-country flight with kids! I’m pleased to say that aside from a few stan­dard melt­downs here and there, it all went very well! See…just look at this happy face! Part of the suc­cess came from try­ing our best to be well-prepared. We end­ing up pack­ing more than we needed, but where lit­tle ones are con­cerned we’d rather be safe than sorry. And, Mr. Mom Endeav­ors car­ried a Dis­ney back­pack each day that func­tioned as our dia­per bag and gen­eral park bag. For this “fam­ily on the move”, we had a num­ber of dia­per bag essen­tials that we had with us each day for Baby Brother. Here’s a glimpse:

1. aden + anais bam­boo blan­ket. I men­tioned this one in my last #Hug­gi­esTester post and it was per­fect for the trip. It was light-weight enough to use in the muggy Florida weather and big enough that it could be used as a stroller cover for a sleep­ing Baby Brother!
2. Cop­per­tone Water Babies sun­screen. As a Cop­per­tone Water Mom, I had received many sam­ple bot­tles of the Water Babies sun­screen. I’ve shared many with friends and strangers, but we’ve kept a few for the dia­per bag. They’re small enough to throw in a bag/purse and with an 50+ spf, it really helps pro­tect baby’s skin from the sun!
3. Hand San­i­tizer. While out in the parks, wash­ing hands is not always an option, so some hand san­i­tizer was a must for try­ing to keep the germ shar­ing to a minimum.
4. For­mula pack­ets. Because of my IGT & breast­feed­ing dif­fi­cul­ties, that’s not an option for us. So, we had to make sure we had for­mula with us. Even though they are more expen­sive, the for­mula pack­ets are SO con­ve­nient while on-the-go…especially some­where like Dis­ney World. We just needed 4 for­mula pack­ets with us each day! Super easy!
5. GoGo SqueeZ Fruit Pouches. These were SO easy to throw in the bag to feed Baby Brother (or for a snack for the big­ger boys too!). We kept them in our fridge at the hotel & would put them in the dia­per bag cold. So, they were a refresh­ing snack option for the boys while we were in the parks.
6. Light-weight & wash­able bib! Baby Brother is at that really messy eat­ing stage if we let him eat any­thing on his own. So, a bib was a must. But, we wanted some­thing light-weight (so it wouldn’t take up much room) and some­thing that could be eas­ily wiped or rinsed! We like the bumkins bibs for this as it meets those require­ments and has a “catch-all” pouch on it!
7. Toys! There cer­tainly is a lot of visual stim­u­la­tion at Dis­ney World to keep baby occu­pied, but we always made sure we had a cou­ple of small favorite toys at our dis­pos­able. Sophie the Giraffe and some clas­sic keys were our toys of choice!
8. Sippy Cup. It was HOT & humid in Florida! Even Baby Brother got really sweaty. So, it was impor­tant to make sure that every­one stayed hydrated! The Nuby cup is the one that he can drink from the best, so that’s what came with us.
9. Puffs. While the con­tainer was a lit­tle large for car­ry­ing with us, they were a must! Puffs are SUCH an easy (and not too messy) snack for Baby Brother. It kept him occu­pied many a time while sit­ting in the stroller!
10. Hug­gies Snug & Dry dia­pers (& wipes)! Dia­pers and wipes were def­i­nitely a must! Hug­gies are a reli­able brand for us as we rarely expe­ri­ence leaks with them. And, on a trip like this, a snug & dry fit is a must (And, even though we didn’t do dia­per changes nearly as fre­quently as we would nor­mally, Baby Brother had NO leaks). Plus, hello, Mickey & friends are on the front!!! You can’t go wrong with Dis­ney fun on your dia­pers while trav­el­ing in Dis­ney World!

Thank­fully, with that mix of stuff, we were well-prepared for our days in the Dis­ney World parks!
