    Be careful about "letting the schedule go". It can backfire horribly on you. If your baby is the type who needs a schedule, maintain it as best as you can at Disney. Be willing to be flexible and NOT accompany your entire extended family all the time. Take your leave of them as needed.

    My advice would be: do what you do at home, at WDW. Don't push it with the late nights and early mornings. Let your baby's temperament be your guide. The truth is, your baby will not become a different person at WDW. It's not that magical. . He will be the same baby there that he is at home. Easy going babies at home do great at WDW. Difficult babies at home are still difficult on vacation, even at Disney.

    One thing I would NOT stress about at all is the bus thing. It is much easier than you are imagining!

    Two years ago, we took our eight month old foster son with us. I'd say, just relax for now, and be flexible when you get there. I know that every child is different, but we just let our little guy crash on our shoulder or in the stroller whenever he needed to, and everything went so very well. We got back to our room late often, and was up early just as often. He adjusted. Does your stroller recline? If not, maybe you could take something (a small travel pillow with loops sewn on to secure to the stroller for example) to help make him more comfortable. Also be sure to have a good sun shade, to help him keep cool. We bought one of those detachable shades that extended out really far, and also rigged up a battery-powered fan to the back of the stroller. He was more comfortable than we were most of the time!
    I can't speak to the bus situation, as we did drive to the parks each day. But, I know that in the past when we rode on the buses, I always saw someone willing to give up their seat to a momma lugging a little one.
    I think everything will go just fine, and you will make wonderful memories to pass on to your little man!
